Investor's Business Daily Selects Opt-Intelligence to Power Opt-In Ad Serving on its Website


June 13, 2007; 02:22 AM
It was announced today that Investor's Business Daily® has selected Opt-Intelligence's proprietary ad serving platform to display opt-in advertising on its Investors.com website.

HOW IT WORKS:
During the Investors.com registration processes for free and paid services, visitors are given the opportunity to opt-in to vertically targeted advertisements. Ads are targeted, in real-time, to each visitor by a number of demographic, geographic and behavioral metrics and are served seamlessly into the Investors.com site via JavaScript. By opting-in to a specific advertiser's ad, the visitor is explicitly requesting that their contact information be shared with the selected advertiser so that they can communicate directly. Contact information can consist of an email address, physical address, phone number or any combination thereof. After viewing the ads, whether the visitor opts-in to an ad or not, they simply continue with the registration process as they normally would. The user never leaves the website.

"We did a lot of research prior to making the decision to offer opt-in advertising on our website," said Harlan Ratzky, Vice President and Director of Investors.com. "Our goals were 1) to keep a very positive user experience, 2) to maintain compliance with our strict privacy policy, 3) to provide our advertisers with the flexibility they require and 4) to achieve a very aggressive eCPM target. After an extensive review, it was clear to us that the Opt-Intelligence technology and approach could allow us to accomplish all four goals." Dan Felter, CEO of Opt-Intelligence, said "IBD's decision to use our ad serving solution shows their commitment to preserving their high quality user experience and keeping their users' privacy a top priority. We are very excited to be part of their overall Investors.com monetization strategy and to be involved with such a top notch organization."
