Yahoo Is Officially Working With Comscore

By Kamil Samara


There is always a need for more information in order to optimize advertising prospects. Brand advertisers don't want to dip their toes into waters that will not yield anything. Some of the brightest minds in the world work on these details and they make sure they have the analytics down before investing a sizeable amount. Yahoo has started to use this as a means to integrate the ComScore vCE into their system. This means brand advertisers are now able to get more information out of the system before diving in.



What's interesting about these metrics is that they give media buyers the same kind of data they'd get from TV stations. They can see how many people will be viewing the ads, and what the demographics of those people will be. It makes it easy for buyers to choose the best way to advertise. Because fewer people are watching television, it's important for media buyers to find new ways to reach out to potential customers. Yahoo is capitalizing on this need with their new service. They realize that this data will make buyers more likely to make purchases.

Yahoo has had some struggles with ad sales as of late. They believe that this new program will help to revitalize them. They think that there's still a demand for their ad space, and that the problems they've been having are internal in nature.

Whether or not the Yahoo and comScore partnership will pay off remains to be seen. However, what is clear is that many more companies will be making similar partnerships in the future. Media buyers are going to start demanding this kind of data now that they know it can be obtained. Many companies besides Yahoo are striking up similar partnerships. It looks like we're entering a new era of digital advertising. Everyone in the advertising business should pay attention to how things go with Yahoo and comScore in the future. The outcome will be felt on other major sites across the internet.

Yahoo tends to expand what they're doing with comScore in the future. They intend to add services for their mobile campaigns, and to expand their integration in countries beyond the US. It'll be interesting to see the other ways in which Yahoo and comScore use together in the future.

Media buyers will now be able to see all kinds of metrics like audience frequency, reach, and demographics. It's comparable to the type of metrics that an advertiser would be able to see with TV. According to Yahoo, they're the only publisher that has this type of service on all platforms.
