Greenlight Wireless’ new “sponsored listings” advertising feed is providing relevant, high-yielding ads in the mobile environment.

IRVINE, Calif., May 23, 2007—Greenlight Wireless Corporation’s award-winning Advertizer service, which provides advertisements for desktop and mobile platforms, has experienced early success with its recently-released “sponsored listings” feed.

The sponsored listings program, released at the beginning of the month, is a “two-click” model where publishers create marketing copy that links to a dynamically-created landing page displaying the actual advertisements. The ads presented on this landing page are based on keywords that the publisher has assigned to the marketing copy being used.

The click-through rate (CTR) has fluctuated between 1.0% and 3.1% daily, while the average CTR on the Advertizer landing page has produced a remarkably high CTR of 44.1%. This statistic is likely due to a confluence of factors; however it confirms that Advertizer’s local, international, and vertically-categorized ads are relevant and highly “clickable”. As publishers learn to fine-tune the placement, layout, and content of their marketing messages, Greenlight Wireless anticipates the CTR to the landing pages will increase. Initial trials for the new feed were based on one to seven million searches daily with an average cost-per-click (CPC) of $0.37.

Advertizer is the world’s first internationally-consumed mobile advertising service, having served mobile ads in over 175 countries since its release in 2004. Advertizer works by retrieving ads based on keywords or other user input from multiple top-tier ad suppliers, then providing a single ad feed that works across diverse distribution channels, such as mobile and desktop. These ads can be provided in a variety of formats, including CPC, location-based, and click-to-call, and can be delivered via commonly-used systems, such as XML, HTML, and RSS. Advertizer offers a 50/50 revenue sharing model and doesn’t apply the hidden charges and fees often associated with other ad providers. Advertizer was voted Best Mobile Marketing Product in the 2006 Mobile Star Awards.

Greenlight Wireless’ Advertizer service allows publishers to use cut-and-paste code to provide desktop and mobile advertising.

IRVINE, Calif., May 9, 2007—Greenlight Wireless Corporation today announced that its Advertizer service, which provides advertisements for desktop and mobile environments, has a new “sponsored listings” offering.

Advertizer’s new sponsored listings service allows publishers to create keyword-based ad campaigns using cut-and-paste code to access a single ad feed that works in both the mobile and desktop environments. A sponsored listings feed differs from a traditional contextual ad feed by allowing a publisher to write marketing copy that links to a dynamically-created interstitial page, which displays the actual advertisements. These ads are based on keywords that the publisher has assigned to the marketing copy being used.

Advertizer was previously only provided through an Application Programming Interface (API) and used on high-traffic advertising networks and portals. This latest service allows our award-winning ad platform to be directly accessed by smaller publishers for the first time. A contextual ad feed, that will also utilize cut-and-paste integration, will be released in upcoming months to address increasing demand from publishers for access to Advertizer.
