AOL Teams with WMC Global and Media Thirst for Digital Ad Monitoring

Washington, DC – While accelerating its growth in the digital advertising space, AOL strives to improve quality and transparency within the advertising industry as a whole. In addition to its work with TrustInAds.org, protecting people from malicious and deceptive online ads, AOL has teamed with WMC Global and Media Thirst to help support digital ad monitoring for AOL ad networks and properties, bolstering AOL’s top-tier advertising services.

Leveraging Media Thirst technology, now AOL can analyze the entire consumer-ad interaction and identify potential issues related to ad placement, rendering, and content and to landing pages. By monitoring ads running on both its networks and publisher pages, AOL can further enhance the advertising experience and optimize ad revenue.

With many AOL-branded properties and leading ad networks to its name, AOL prides itself on providing premium advertising experiences to advertisers, publishers, and consumers.
