Authored by Rohit Bhargava on September 27, 2006 - 9:11am.
For the last two days, as most interactive marketers know, there have been two dueling interactive marketing conferences taking place in downtown NY about 5 minutes apart from one another.  The OMMA East event, sponsored by MediaPost and the Mixx Expo 2.6 event sponsored by IAB this year decided to choose the exact same days to hold their events rather than overlapping or separating as they have done in the past.  The result was many folks attending one event holding a bag from the other, many with two different name badges hanging around their necks and lots of conversation about what was at each event between marketers.

IAB Issues Guidelines for Measuring Broadband Video Commercials

Authored by dmw on May 15, 2006 - 1:37pm.
New York - The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), a consortium of 250 companies that develops standards for online advertising, on Monday released new guidelines for broadband video commercials. The IAB defines a video ad as a commercial that appears before, during or after content such as streaming video, animation, games or music videos in a player environment. The group established guidelines that determine at what point a broadband video commercial is counted as having been viewed, creating an "impression". "A valid broadband ad impression may only be counted when an ad counter (logging server) receives and responds to an HTTP request for a tracking asset from a client," the IAB set forth in its guidelines. "The count must happen after the initiation of the stream, post-buffering, as opposed to the linked broadband content itself. Specifically, measurement should not occur when the buffer is initiated, rather measurement should occur when the ad itself begins to appear on the user's browser, closest to the opportunity to see."
