AOL to pay £458m for TradeDoubler

by Media Week, Media Week 16-Jan-07

AOL is set to buy European online affiliate marketing company TradeDoubler for £458m in cash.

The directors of TradeDoubler have unanimously recommended that its
shareholders accept the offer from the Time Warner-owned company, a
stablemate of magazine publisher IPC.

TradeDoubler, which is headquartered in Sweden, operates in 18 European

markets, including the UK. Its clients include BT and Sony.

Randy Falco, global chairman and chief executive of AOL, said that
TradeDoubler would fit in well with its third-party advertising network,
Advertising.com

AOL acquired display advertising network Advertising.com, one of the
largest in the US and with a presence in eight European countries, in
2004. TradeDoubler was founded in 1999 and specialises in affiliate
marketing, whereby each affiliate is rewarded for a visitor, subscriber,
customer, or sale provided through its own site.
