The worldwide market leader for metasearch engines,
InfoSpace is the only company with access to the results of all major paid
search providers, which is able to combine the paid results of all providers on
one result page and to sub-licence them. InfoSpace combines the paid results in
such a way that maximum revenues are generated for Infospace’s clients.
For Seekport this strategic partnership with InfoSpace is
another important step in improving its business. “With InfoSpace becoming a
partner and supporting us, we have a unique technology to optimise revenues for
the monetisation of our searches,” says Joachim Kreibich, Managing Director of
Seekport Internet Technologies GmbH.
“This cooperation means a lot of significant advantages for
us,” Kreibich stresses. “Everybody who decides to use the combination of Seekport
and InfoSpace gets access to our well-proven search technology as well as to an
optimised portfolio of paid results from all relevant providers of paid search.
The customer is independent from any single paid search provider, and enjoys
better match rates for paid results,” Kreibich says.
Dominic Trigg, Vice President Search & Directory Europe
at InfoSpace explains the strategic dimension of this partnership for
InfoSpace, “Seekport’s sophisticated search technology and its focus on the
European market is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our capabilities
in search monetisation. Seekport offers superior web search results as well as
high-end customised solutions like site search and archive search, whilst
InfoSpace specialises in monetising search as well as specialised solutions
such as pay per call and contextual search. The combination of the two
specialist skill sets puts us both InfoSpace and Seekport in a position to make
highly attractive proposals together in the future.”
