Verizon wants a piece of Google’s Ad Business.
Started with: AOL CEO Tim Armstrong was the head of Google ad sales for years before taking over AOL. Armstrong bought up a bunch of small ad startups and The Huffington Post.
“HuffPo was once the ultimate in cheap scale, generating millions of free contributor page views on which to place all that ad tech, but Yahoo is next-level cheap scale. [snip] Yahoo Mail can’t stop losing your passwords but it’s still massive. Yahoo delivers millions and millions of pages that cost almost nothing to produce, all waiting to be strip-mined of data and retargeted with advertising.”
“And now, with the new privacy not-rules, Verizon is free to take the data generated from the tracking supercookies it imposes on its network customers, mash it up with AOL’s ad stack, and promise advertisers hyper-targeted marketing information that can’t be blocked or stopped because Verizon will own both the pipes and an enormous amount of the content flowing through it.”
Oath is expected to lose share of the ad market to Google and Facebook.
The pressure is on the new boss, Guru Gowrappan.
