Accipiter Announces Participation in ABC ELECTRONIC'S Associate Subscriber Program; Participation Supports Industry-Agreed Standards for Online Ad Audits.

RALEIGH, N.C.& LONDON -- Accipiter Solutions, Inc., an online advertising technology leader since 1996, today announced that the company is one of a group of new members participating in ABC ELECTRONIC'S Associate Subscriber program. This program encourages and enables suppliers in the new media industry to demonstrate their support for industry-agreed standards as set by JICWEBS (www.jicwebs.org)(a).

Industry suppliers such as web analytics vendors, hosting companies, advertising agencies and trade bodies are all eligible to join. By participating in the program, Accipiter and the other participants are proving their commitment to assuring advertisers that the money they invest online is well spent.

"These audits are important not only for media buyers and owners engaged in individual transactions, but also for the industry as a whole," commented Richard Foan from ABC ELECTRONIC. "Participation from companies like Accipiter is key to the continued growth and success of the online sector."

The Associate Subscriber Scheme encourages discussions and technical consultancy between the subscriber and ABC ELECTRONIC to ensure everyone is working towards the same goals, thereby providing added value to ABC ELECTRONIC's clients. Associate Subscribers can also participate in the ABC ELECTRONIC Internet Technical Group (ITG) meetings which are designed to ensure all clients and their suppliers can participate in developing and evolving the industry-agreed rules and methodologies.

Accipiter's inclusion in the program was driven by the participation of one of its key European customers, Associated New Media (ANM). ANM is the digital publishing division of Associated Newspapers Ltd., which publishes the websites Dailymail.co.uk, Mailonsunday.co.uk, This is London, This is Money and This is Travel. ANM was the first online media owner to audit its ad serving program, powered by Accipiter's AdManager.

"We believe in providing clear information to our advertisers and partners," explained Mark Milner, COO, Associated New Media. "Accipiter has supported and enabled the auditing of our ad serving capabilities, allowing us to send a positive message that we are transparent in all of our operations."

"Accipiter is committed to the principles of greater accountability and measurement of online advertising," said Michael Keaton, director, Accipiter European Operations. "We look forward to leveraging our involvement with ABC ELECTRONIC to help our customers and others build successful online advertising strategies."
