Their tagline reads: “Turn words into customers”. This is EchoTopic’s simple but ingenious marketing model. EchoTopic specializes in the thing that turned Google into Google, namely, advertising and generating beaucoup bucks from it. Formed from parent company, Exponential Inc.’s semantic ad model which scans entire web pages for content and determines advertising from there, EchoTopic goes one step further and offers highly targeted pop up bubbles ads. For example, if you’re an advertiser selling insurance, a website featuring an article on the housing meltdown may have certain keywords like mortgage, real estate, etc. When a user mouses over that particular keyword, an ad for your insurance company will pop up along with a link to your website. Not only, do you get relevant ads that are more likely to hit home with users, but you also get access to a number of tools and reports. It’s a win-win situation for both advertisers and publishers.
