Search Marketing Communications

comScore has released their list of the top 25 Online Advertising Networks based on their reach among U.S. Internet users in April 2009.

The top five online ad networks are AOL’s Platform-A , Yahoo! Network , Google Ad Network, ValueClick Networks and Specific Media.

The sixth largest network is the new Fox Ad Network.

Top 25 Online Advertising Networks

Jack Flanagan comments in the comScore Top 25 Online Advertising Networks press release “…that new ad networks are emerging every day, each aimed at helping advertisers achieve their campaign objectives, whether it’s to deliver reach and frequency or to target a specific audience segment.”

With the exception of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp and Yahoo Ad Network’s joint venture with publishers. it appears the newspaper industry as a whole has missed possibly the only opportunity left remaining to extend its reach and audience targeting potential through ownership in or control of an online advertising network.

I guess that’s why Rupert Murdoch is Rupert Murdoch.
