Quigo offers an auction-based, PPC (pay-per-click) suite of tools called FeedPoint, which automatically generates keywords, titles and descriptions from your Web pages for inclusion in search and comparison shopping engines. The fact that the company targets comparison shopping engines has made it popular with etailers, as not all search marketing companies offer that expertise. Quigo also offers a pay-per-click advertising network called AdSonar that is content (rather than search engine) based. This means that marketers can use the AdSonar network if they want to place advertisements on or across sites like ABC News, The New York Times, USA Today, Fox News, Martha Stewart, Homestore.com, eDiets.com, LonelyPlanet.com, PGATour.com, the newspaper sites of The McClatchy Company, The Hearst Company and The Tribune Company, the online publications of American Media and more.

This keyword tool is driven off of Overture keyword data, but it does so much more. For example, it provides links to price estimate tools from Overture and Google AdWords. The Google AdWords tool shows the necessary bid to rank #1 for 85% of queries, and roughly how much traffic you can expect AdWords to send you based on that bid price. For example (at the time of writing), LookSmart was bidding up to $5(US) to rank #1 for the search phrase "online marketing" on the Overture network, whereas Google estimated that you needed to pay $5.03 for position #1 for the same keyword. Google predicted that you would get an estimated 405 to 508 clicks per day. But wait, there's more. The tool also links to Google Trends, Google Suggest, Google Synonyms, Yahoo! Suggest, Nichebot and Wordtracker keyword research results. And it links to various vertical databases like Topix.net, Google Blogsearch and Del.icio.us to tell you if people are talking about your topic and what types of resources they are referencing. Set aside a good block of time to explore this one. Not only is it fascinating, but you must click through the link to each of the cross-referenced tools to see the results for each keyword or phrase, which is quite time-consuming.

It didn't take long for the world of podcasting to develop its first aggregated network. The Podcast Network is an international collection of centrally-produced podcast channels on dozens of topics ranging from business to technology to jazz. Created by Australian e-business and marketing strategists Cameron Reilly and Mick Stanic, it does indeed offer advertising opportunities for marketers who are interested in reaching a highly diverse audience of international, tech-savvy listeners, which you may be hard-pressed to target anywhere else. Advertising opportunities include sponsorships, interstitials and advertorials, and the ad units are all in audio format, of course. To an advertiser trying to get his or her head around this new medium, think of this as niche radio on demand.
