Posted in: Uncategorized
Just weeks after the Financial Times said it would begin selling digital ads based on the time for which they’re exposed to readers, a new survey shows other digital publishers are growing bullish about the tactic. The survey, from Digital Content Next, found that 80% of “premium” publishers are interested in pricing and selling their advertising inventory according to time-based metrics.
The research surveyed 25 members of Digital Content Next, formerly called the Online Publishers Association, including Conde Nast, ESPN, Forbes, Gannett, CNBC Digital, Inc. The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Univision.
Among them, 60% are considering transacting based on time, 4% are already testing it, 8% will begin testing it in 2014 and another 8% plan to test it in 2015. Meanwhile, 20% said they’re not interested in pricing and selling their ads based on time, according to the survey.
