Microsoft To Provide Ads To WSJ SitesFiled at 4:10 p.m. ET NEW YORK (AP) Microsoft Corp. will become the new provider of paid search and contextual advertising links on sites run by The Wall Street Journal, the companies announced Tuesday. Contextual ads appear as text links at the bottom of stories viewed on the Journals Web site, WSJ.com, inside a box labeled Advertisers Links. Advertisers are charged when viewers click through on the links. Advertisers also pay to have text links listed in a shaded area at the top of search results when users type in keyword searches on the Journals Web site. In addition to the Journals main Web site, the deal also affects several other sites owned by Dow Jones & Co., including Barrons.com, MarketWatch.com, AllThingsD.com. Dow Jones is part of Rupert Murdochs media conglomerate News Corp. Gordon McLeod, the president of The Wall Street Journal Digital Network, declined to say how much revenue those businesses generate. He said the Journal had previously used two different providers for those ads Pulse 360 for the contextual ad links at the bottom of stories, and Business.com for the paid search links. McLeod said the deal did not affect the Journals online display advertising, which is served by DoubleClick Inc. DoubleClicks purchase by Internet search leader Google Inc. is still being reviewed by European regulators.
