Yahoo! Previews Powerful New Online Advertising Management Platform

Business Wire, April 7, 2008

Ad Networks

For ad networks, we believe AMP! will accelerate a free market economy for advertising. With core relationship management built into the platform, ad networks can expand their businesses by connecting to advertisers, publishers, agencies, and other ad networks all through an easy interface. Key benefits planned include:

* Enabling unparalleled access to supply and demand across all types of inventory and a full suite of tools built specifically for ad networks to manage and grow their business;

* Allowing ad networks, through an open set of APIs, to innovate on top of the transparent marketplace.

Publishers

For publishers, AMP! is designed to increase revenue with solutions targeted at accelerating premium brand and performance-based advertising. Key benefits planned include:

* Enabling ad selection and inventory management capabilities that are designed to ensure the most valuable and relevant advertising available is shown to users;

* Allowing publishers to manage their own private networks;

* Enabling advertisers and publishers to link together and take advantage of additional audience reach or advertiser demand as needed;

* Offering the control to choose what parts of the platform and its solutions are most relevant to use - AMP! could augment or replace their ad management system.
