Microsoft on Thursday urged a US Senate Panel to oppose Google’s Purchase of Online Ad Targeting giant DoubleClick, arguing that 3.1 Billion Dollar Deal threatens competition and privacy.
Sources for Microsoft said “If Google and DoubleClick are allowed to merge, Google will become overwhelmingly powerful medium for all forms of online advertising.”
Google in turn defended the deal stating that Worlds leading search engine and DoubleClick were complementary companies and not competitors. Google’s Chief legal Officer David Drummond explained it by saying that the simplest way to look at this is by the way of an Analogy : “DoubleClick is to Google what FedEX is for Amazon”
He also pointed out that rivals like Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft themselves recently acquired Ad-Specialty Firms. Microsoft has agreed to pay six billion dollars for ad-targeting firm aQuantive and Yahoo paid 680 million dollars to acquire Right Media. Also AOL recently bought ad serving companies ADTECH and TACODA,which specialize in behavioral targeting of Online Ads.

Recently I received a note in my Adsense account that I have now qualify to show Google referrals 2.0. First of all we must know what the referrals ads are all about. They are PPA (Pay Per Action) Ads in which a publisher/webmaster gets paid after the website visitor has clicked on the Ad and actually signed up for the product or the service. So, What is the difference between the previous Google Referrals and Google referrals 2.0. According to Google it’s :
Expanded product inventory: While many of you have had success referring one of our google products, some of you weren’t able to find a product that fit the context of your site. Google Referrals 2.0 offers products from thousands of AdWords advertisers, so you can find the right ads for your sites.
