2. Ad Networks’ Audiences
The “potential reach” measure will be a calculation of the unduplicated visitors
to all sites with which each ad network has contracted to deliver advertising.
The definitions will be based on written documentation and confirmation
provided by the networks.
This measure represents the largest potential reach a network could deliver if
all parts of the network are used to deliver ads.
The “actual reach” measure will represent the reach of the ads that are actually
served by the network during a given reporting period. In order to report
“actual reach,” networks must participate by providing comScore with the
appropriate identification protocols for rendered ads. Consequently, only
participating networks will be included in the “actual reach” report.

3. Ad Networks’ Audiences
“These two toolsets provide the information that ad agencies need when they
are deciding on which advertising networks to consider for ad buys. And, the ad
networks will have the high quality, third-party information needed to compete
for advertising dollars,” commented Magid Abraham, President and CEO of
comScore, Inc.
“Ad networks are a vital means of monetizing most Web sites and delivering
high reach to advertisers. These new metrics provides ad networks, agencies
and advertisers with the accurate information needed for buying and selling
advertising.”

4. AOL’s Platform-A Ranks as Top Ad Network
in March, Reaching More Than 9 Out of 10
U.S. Internet Users
Data on online ad networks, highlighting both the breadth of reach for the
top ad networks and the emergence of a series of audience-specific niche ad
networks. comScore’s technology platform measures the actual delivery of
ads within online ad networks, a feature that differentiates it from most, if
not all, other online measurement firms.
Ad networks have become integral components to the online advertising
industry over the past several years by helping aggregate audiences for the
purposes of delivering impressions to a broad array of Internet users.
The increasing ability of many ad networks to target and deliver ads either
behaviorally or demographically is enabling a more efficient expression of ad
dollars and an improved return on advertisers’ online marketing investment.

5. Top 15 Ad Networks
Each of the top 15 ad networks delivered ads to at least half of the total
U.S. Internet audience in March, making them very effective reach-building
vehicles for advertisers. Platform-A, the AOL ad network that combines
Advertising.com, Quigo and Tacoda, served ads to 170 million U.S. Internet
users in March, representing 91 percent of the total U.S. online
population, to rank as the top ad network.
On a stand-alone basis, Advertising.com would rank as the top ad network
with a reach of more than 167 million Internet users. Yahoo! Network
ranked second with a reach of 160 million, followed by Google Ad Network
(152 million) and Specific Media (140 million).

7. Niche Ad Networks Emerge for Audience-Specific Targeting
As ad networks have expanded their reach and influence online, a new crop of ad
networks has surfaced to serve specific demographic and behavioral target
segments through both the traditional ad network model and more innovative
ad-targeting mechanisms.
While the overall reach of these niche ad networks is eclipsed by the more
generalized ad networks, their ability to precision-target niche audiences helps
advertisers reduce wasted ad impressions.
One example of a behaviorally targeted ad network is Snap Shots
Network, which delivers ads to users of Snap.com’s Snap Shots. The network
reached more than 18 million U.S. Internet users in March. Widgetbucks Network
delivers contextually relevant ads through a widget, and joined the ad networks
ranking in March with a reach of 9.5 million, while NeoEdge Game
Network, which delivers ads through games, had a reach of nearly 1 million.

10. Growth in Vertical Ad Network Reach
Vertical ad networks are a growing phenomenon in the online advertising
space, in part because of their ability to deliver engaged, targeted audiences.
As more vertical ad networks prove their ability to effectively reach specific
target audiences by aggregating mid-tail publisher sites, the industry will
likely give greater consideration to these emerging ad delivery channels.
