IP Geolocation Enables Ad Server to Personalize Web Visitor Experience
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 18, 2008 -- Quova, Inc., the leading provider of Internet geolocation data services, today announced that Emediate, a provider of digital advertising technology solutions and services, has integrated Quova's IP geolocation data into its Web analytics and ad serving platform, EmediateAd. The platform provides campaign and creative management controls that enable advertisers to easily analyze traffic, target, track and optimize campaign activity as intuitively as possible.
Quova's Internet geolocation data automatically recognizes the IP address and in real-time determines the location of the Web visitor. This allows Emediate customers such as Eniro and Bonnier to initiate targeted advertising campaigns with localized images, language, currency and referrals to local stores. Serving targeted ads with relevant content to users based on their location drives more successful click-through rates and increase sales.
Emediate uses simple business rules to interpret the IP geolocation data and accurately serve targeted ads. For example, a rule may read "If from Spain, serve Spain-targeted ad." Quova data is 99.99% accurate at the country level based on independent research conducted by Pricewaterhouse Coopers.
In addition, Emediate offers their integrated location data to publishing customers looking to provide geotargeting services to their own advertising clients, bringing added value to existing propositions.
"There were two contenders in the running when we first started searching for an Internet geolocation data provider, but we were impressed by Quova's reputation in the market and its service was a very good fit for our business," said Håkan Djärv, CTO of Emediate. "Providing our advertising clients with tools to pinpoint and target potential customers has allowed them to increase conversions and provide a better user experience."
