Countdown to Compliance: Three Join Yahoo

weather.jpg

CNET, Univision, and Weather.com have all joined Yahoo in completing their compliance with the impression measurement guidelines that the IAB established at the end of last year, according to MediaPost. The guidelines call for measuring only ad impressions actually delivered; if a visitor clicks away before the ad finishes loading, for example, it will not be counted under the new guidelines. Still to complete the process of compliance are the Walt Disney Internet Group, Forbes, The New York Times, MSN, AOL, and Doubleclick, among others.

The Media Rating Council and the IAB will offer ad impression certification to the owners of proprietary ad-serving platforms for a reported one-time fee of around $125,000. An additional fee will be charged for the use of an IAB/MRC spider to crawl the site.
