Google´s Gadget ads

As a wrote in earlier posts, the delivery of widget ad market is open now. Google is another major player, who enters this market beside some startups. Google has to fight as hard as the start-ups, cause the major widget factories never counted to the ad-sense modell. Companies like slide.com, rockyou and some of the video widgets focused to the widgetbased ads from day one on, even if they never talked about. And they also knew that the widget ad market has to develop from zero. Now the race is on and I think viedeoegg is doing a good job right now.

Cheers

BTW: I would prefer "Google Widget ads" ;-)

Skin based Widget ads

Today mashable reported that Heavy.com is offering skin based widget ads with rev. share for blogs, sites and spaces owner. The service is called Husky Network. Last week slide.com reported also the usage of skins for ads. Have to find out, if slide is sharing the revenues with the site owners as well. Photobuket used the same way early this year ending in trouble with myspace. Skin based ads will be a major rev. model for widget services like the in game ads in games i think. But it will definitly not be the only model. We are discussing this issue with imageloop in the last view meetings and it isreally interesting how the market will move.
