Yahoo Snatches Up Blue Lithium Ad Network

Yahoo has acquired ad targeting and delivery firm Blue Lithium for US$
300 million, reports Advertising Age.

The purchase is the latest in moves by major players to coin the
behavioral advertising market.

Blue Lithium adds a significant number of capabilities and inventory
to Yahoo's existing ad offering.

The newly-acquired company boasts relationships with major publishers,
which will continue after the purchase. Its inventory will be
incorporated into Right Media Exchange, which Yahoo just acquired in
full a few months ago.

Blue Lithium will run ads on Yahoo's network of fully-owned sites and
services, bringing significant targeting power to ad delivery,
something Yahoo aggressively began to target with the introduction of
its SmartAds offering to the market.

Yahoo hopes adding a performance-based system will bolster the income
from marketers looking for more than just brand impressions,
characterized as a strength for the company.
