"After reviewing more than a dozen ad platforms, we selected Advario for its standout technology and unique relevance engine," said Jeremy Dallow, president of Ckrush. "The Advario platform will ensure that our advertisers receive the highest performing results from their advertising dollars, while we focus on building exciting content for our customers."
Advario leverages a unique process that allows online publishers to easily include or exclude content sections with an unprecedented level of granularity. In addition, Advario uses a cutting-edge keyword and key phrase density engine that delivers higher relevance for contextual targeting ensuring that the right ads appear on the right page in real time. Since Advario's ads are more relevant, ads that are delivered using Advario perform better on an ROI basis for publishers and advertisers.
"Companies such as Ckrush need an ad platform that can deliver relevant ads within extremely dynamic Web sites," said MediaTrust Chief Technology Officer, Joseph Matheny. "Advario's proprietary technology ensures that regardless of how often site content changes, users are always presented with ads that are contextually relevant and thus perform better for publishers."
