MIG Launches Second Online Advertising Network!
08 January 2004

Accelerator has been launched as an intelligent advertising network, featuring predictive ad-serving technology. Our aim is to bring the high levels of quality service and unrivalled revenue-generating abilities of eType to a fresh market of aggregated, specialist content websites.

Accelerator's network is a performance-based system that evaluates and learns user behaviour. Rather than running adverts on a specific site or channel, which can limit the reach, Accelerator's network intelligently targets individuals, based on their previous surfing behaviour. Our ad-serving technology will only serve an advert it believes will appeal to that specific user, based on the sites they have previously visited within our network. That way, our advertisers' campaigns are not only seen by more people, but also by people genuinely interested in the type of product or service featured in the advert.
