Free-hotspot.com boosts ad revenue with Front Porch’s Behavioural Targeting technology

London, UK – September 26, 2007 – free-hotspot.com, Europe’s largest free wi-fi network, has announced today they have implemented Front Porch’s Behavioral Targeting technology to improve display ad targeting and increase ad revenue.

The new technology provides real-time optimization of content delivery across any site on the Internet. Front Porch’s advanced behavioural, contextual, geographical, and consensual targeting enables ad networks to deliver more relevant and higher-value ads. More powerful than site-based ad delivery or search-based profiling models, Front Porch’s advanced Behavioural Targeting solution increases revenue for ad networks and advertisers, improves the user experience, and drives new revenue for Internet providers.

Dan Toomey, CEO of free-hotspot.com, explained, “Our users don’t see more ads, just more relevant ads.  Advertisers get better results.  We get a new source of revenue.  Everyone wins with this new technology.”

Ad networks can deliver content across Front Porch’s worldwide footprint of installations with all types of Internet provider partners. Front Porch’s sophisticated targeting, scheduling and display features support delivery to networks ranging from small community networks to the largest carrier-grade networks in the world.
