Google Audio Ads To Be Tested By End Of Year


Google positioning for move into U.S. radio
from Reuters has Google saying
that Google Audio Ads will begin testing by the end of the year. Google says
over time, up to 1,000 Googlers might be involved. The article, as does

Google to Boost Scope Of Radio-Ad Sales Business
from the Wall Street
Journal , touches on the idea that a deal involving a radio player like Clear
Channel might kick start things. But
rumors of talks
remain that, rumors. Meanwhile, I still find myself amazed that Google is doing
absolutely nothing in terms of podcasts. Online video, it can’t do enough about,
in hopes of grabbing ad money. But online audio it seems content to ignore,
instead heading off into offline audio with radio. Setting up Google Audio feels
like a missed opportunity.

Postscript: Donna Bogatin over at Digital Micro-Markets dropped me an email to say she wrote about this yesterday, before the Reuters story came out.
