DART Search Now Supports Bid Management and Conversion Tracking for DART's Ask Sponsored Listings Advertisers


Deeper Integration via the ASL API Allows DART Advertisers to More Productively Manage Ad Business on the ASL Network

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 24 - DoubleClick and IAC Advertising Solutions, a wholly-owned business of IAC (NASDAQ:IACI), today announced the public launch of DART Search's bid management and conversion tracking features for Ask Sponsored Listings® (ASL) http://sponsoredlistings.ask.com/.

Additionally, by using the Create and Email feature in DART, advertisers may now track conversion performance of their ASL ads.

"These two capabilities provide improved efficiencies for the DART Search advertiser while also improving the measurability and performance of their ASL ads," said James Speer, General Manager of Ask Sponsored Listings. "With this announcement we strengthen our partnership with DoubleClick's search businesses by providing additional high value distribution options to their customers."

"We are excited about working with IAC to support ASL ad campaigns through DART Search. Advertisers can now manage their campaigns more effectively by utilizing our accurate data and scalable solution for improved bidding and campaign management workflow," said Dave Fall, vice president, Product Management, DoubleClick.
