Contextual Advertising Network Ad Dynamo Launches London Office

Ad Dynamo, the global contextual advertising marketplace, today launched its London office in the next step of its international expansion.

London, United Kingdom, Thursday – August 04, 2011 — Ad Dynamo ( http://www.addynamo.com ), the global contextual advertising marketplace, today launched its London office.

Ad Dynamo operates an advertising marketplace that intelligently connects advertisers to its network of over 15,000 publishers. The offering effectively competes with Google’s Content Network, which comprises about one third of Google’s own advertising revenues. And Ad Dynamo seems to be pulling it off, with a significant chunk of the South African marketplace carved out, the company has expanded internationally at quite a rate – with offices in Madrid, Amsterdam, Lagos, Dublin, and now London.

Sean Riley, the CEO of Ad Dynamo ( http://www.addynamo.com ), will lead the UK team. The key focus of the London office will be to service agencies and key publishers needs, as well as to provide tailored, local support to the UK client base.

“Though we’ve only now opened our office in London, the UK already represents one of our top 10 performing markets. We’ve got a long way to go in terms of achieving our objectives, but we’re not starting from scratch: we have good advertisers and 1,900 UK publishers already cooperating with us,” says Riley.

This bold advertising startup prides itself on its customer service – every advertiser and publisher is supported by Ad Dynamo’s local support teams, and the strategy seems to be working. Consistent growth and market penetration has seen the company continue to gain support worldwide. The transparent revenue share sets the business apart from the likes of Google AdSense for publishers, and Ad Dynamo ( http://www.addynamo.com ) claims it is the fastest paying ad network in the world – quite a big attraction for the smaller websites and bloggers who sometimes wait months for their first payment from existing ad networks.

Some interesting facts published by Ad Dynamo include:

* 80% of all advertisers that try Ad Dynamo continue to use the service
* Over 15,000 publishers, and growing by 100 a day
* Ad Dynamo serves more than a billion ads per month worldwide
* The company offers online and mobile advertising
* Funded by Invenfin, the South African VC associated with the Richemont Group
* Fastest paying ad network in the world – publishers are paid on the 1rst business day of each month, with a very low minimum payment threshold of £20

Carrentals.co.uk: Don’t Chance Not Reporting Penalty Points to Insurers

03 August 2011 – Online car hire price comparison website Carrentals.co.uk is advising the UK’s drivers not to cut corners in seeking out ways to save on car insurance this year. The award-winning website, which is home to cheap car hire deals in over 15,000 locations, advises drivers to always announce penalty points on their licences to insurers.

With UK car insurance costs continuing to be higher than ever, some drivers look to reduce their premiums by not making insurers aware of penalty points and accidents they have been previously involved with. However many drivers don’t know that they are legally bound to report such facts to their insurance company.

Having been involved in an accident or incident in the past and not reporting it means that the driver can be left helpless should the insurance company decide not to pay out on a claim. In addition the driver is then also left driving without insurance under a void cover policy – also illegal under UK law.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “There is no doubt that car insurance is really expensive these days so we are in a way not surprised that people would seek to lower their outgoings however possible. Not telling an insurer about previous points is inadvisable though.”

“People at this time need to know that should they be involved in an accident under a void insurance policy through not announcing points, they will risk incurring extra costs – paying for other people’s cars, medical bills, legal fees and such. Points on a licence and also big fines can be levied too – so holding back that penalty points information in the first place can end up costing people more money if and when they get caught out.”

Carrentals.co.uk is the leading car hire comparison site providing cheap car hire by comparing deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide including car hire in Spain, USA and Switzerland, with a wide choice of pickup locations including car hire in Malaga, Denver and Geneva.
