Contextual Text Ads on TradeDoubler

    Jun 11, 2008
     
  Looking for a new way to increase your revenues? TradeDoubler has recently launched a new contextual advertising product - AdMatch. Through your interface, there are already hundreds of ebookers contextual ads available, with more being added regularly.

How does it work? Similar to Google Adwords, AdMatch scans publisher web pages and then serves relevant ads based on that content.



It is this process of ensuring only relevant ads are presented that makes these ads so much better than a regular, static text link.

The ads are easy to install (only 1 script) and customisable to fit into your site’s layout. They are free of TradeDoubler branding and only advertisers that you are signed up to will have ads appearing on your site.

Login to your TradeDoubler interface to browse the available ads and feel free to contact us if you need any help. Please also let us know if you have any suggestions for ads/products we haven’t covered yet.

Survey: Going, Going, Gone!

    Jun 11, 2008
     
  A survey of 25,000 Brits*, conducted by ebookers.com the online travel agent, reveals that many holiday makers haven’t yet booked their summer trips and are holding out for bargain prices…

64% of those surveyed claimed to be planning summer holidays but hadn’t yet made their reservations.  31% had already booked while 4% weren’t taking trips this summer.

The top five hoped for destinations amongst those who haven’t yet booked are LA, New York, Florida, Barcelona and Dubai.

Claire Howard Jones, ebookers.com Head of Marketing, said:

“People are continuing to book late this year but experience shows that last minute bargain hunters will often be disappointed.  Smart travellers know the best prices in the travel industry are mostly available to early bookers.

“Bargains can sometimes be found a few days before travel for traditional tour operator packages.  With flights and tailor made holidays though, early booking is almost always best.”

This price sensitivity and bargain shopping, perhaps brought on by tightening economic conditions, was further demonstrated by half the sample survey who claim to be influenced in their choice of destination by the strong euro and comparatively weak dollar.

Seaside versus City

The survey results also show that while city breaks might be increasing in popularity, there’s no doubt that Britons still love to be beside the seaside.  62% of those going on holiday are heading off on Sun and Sand trips, their top five destinations being, in order, Florida, California, Spain, Greece and Thailand.  

38% are planning urban-centred trips with the top five city break destinations being New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Las Vegas and Barcelona.
