Solegy Receives Product of the Year Award from Unified Communications Magazine
New York, NY. (March 18, 2008) — Solegy is proud to announce that its Chatvertizer application has received the Product of the Year Award from Unified Communications magazine for representing a ground-breaking advancement in the field of UC technologies for the year 2007.
The Solegy Chatvertizer is an automated system that allows advertisers to engage customers in a chat environment by presenting opt-in advertisements based on highly selectable criteria. In its simplest form, it will will dispatch a chatbot to join target chat rooms using the XMPP instant messaging protocol and listen for keywords. When a keyword is encountered and matches defined conditions, it will send a message to the originator that can contain an HTML link to a Web location.
For example, a chatbot might be configured to be listed for the keywords "drive", "car" and "wheels". When these keywords appear in the proper order and context, the chatbot can send a message to the originator (or to the entire chat room) suggesting a product or location of potential interest, such as a car manufacturer's Website, or an online auction for autos.
With the ever increasing popularity of non-traditional video distribution methods, such as You Tube, time-shifting and video-on-demand, advertisers are finding it difficult to find appropriate venues of engagement to reach their intended audience. The Solegy Chatvertizer system offers an ideal complement to existing advertising fora by providing an additional opportunity for advertisers to identify and interact with their target audience. For instance, video content can contain pointers to online chat rooms where interested participants can engage with others interested parties. These chat rooms, hosted by the content owner, may then serve as a fertile environment in which to serve highly targeted advertising messages.
Key to the system is Solegy's powerful ServicePDQ back end. With it, content owners can provide advertisers with a means to specify the keywords and conditions that they wish to act upon. In an competitive environment, advertisers can even bid on keywords in real-time, such that only the highest bidder gets the opportunity to offer its content. Each keyword impression is tracked by the Solegy ServicePDQ back-office so that informative metrics are made available in real-time, allowing advertisers to alter their strategy as the need may arise. The ServicePDQ system can also keep track of impression charges so that payment to the content owner can be settled in an efficient manner. The Solegy system also enforces policies regarding users that choose to opt-in and can be enhanced to allow keyword-response value pairs based on an individual's user-specific criteria.

I think that companies can benefit greatly from an advertising program like this. Advertising is a necessity in competitive markets these days, and forward thinking advertising that is unobtrusive is a must have.
Something to look out for in my opinion is flash video ads that are silent, but can be listened to by clicking on the volume is the web visitor is interested.
