Click for largerI've been seeing a lot of ads for Microsoft adcenter lately. After seeing this (on a celebrity gossip blog), I've concluded that I'm being shown so many of them because of behavioral targeting. Surely, they don't think that visitors of celebrity gossip blogs have a high composition of Internet advertisers. However, it's my opinion that some frequency capping might be in order. I already have an adcenter account, so the 50-100 impressions I've seen are wasted.

• WOMMA Research blog - a new blog by the Word of Mouth Marketing Association. Lots of great research and stats!
• Share Your Secret - a new consumer generated content site by Secret, allowing women (or men) to post and share their inner most secrets

I noticed today, that one of my favorite sites, Popurls.com now has a snazzy little 300x250 ad served by Federated Media. Not too intrusive.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I just saw a spot for an upcoming movie - looks like it's about dancing - called Step Up. Then at the end of the commercial, they pop the URL for its MySpace profile. This is the first time I've seen an offline ad promoting a MySpace profile. Interestingly, this movie doesn't even have its own website.

• Pump Audio offers a platform for digital ad agencies to license audio tracks from independent artists. Pretty cool. I wonder how soon we'll see design sold through a web platform as well.

I just noticed a couple of days ago that Yahoo mail beta now has a 120x600 banner along the side. I've gotta admit that this ad is a little intrusive. When I'm using e-mail, I like having the space maximized. Think about how you would like having a skyscraper taking up a portion of your Microsoft Outlook window.
