Dotomi Direct Messaging allows marketers to deliver personal and data- driven messages within the ad banner space on publisher sites in the Dotomi network. BlueLithium uses its online advertising network to enable advertisers of all sizes to achieve brand awareness, lead innovation and sales through web-ads, e-mail and search engine listings. With BlueLithium's customized direct response network, Dotomi can send personal and targeted messages to consumers utilizing BlueLithium's ad serving technology.

BlueLithium's network extends to more than 1,000 affinity-based websites and reaches more than two-thirds of Internet users. The network serves more than four billion impressions per month and served 70.3 million unique users during the month of October. Further enhanced by BlueLithium's recent acquisition of AdRevolver, a leading ad serving company, the network offers global reach and response in addition to real-time analytical tools not available on other networks. With the combined benefits of Dotomi Direct Messaging and BlueLithum's network, consumers will receive more timely and relevant marketer messages while surfing the Web. Direct Messages contain customer-specific information based on a consumer's self-expressed interests delivered only by chosen marketers. Because Direct Messaging is opt-in and relevant to individual consumers, the value of each banner increases, allowing marketers to build relationships and boost customer loyalty through online real estate. By working with BlueLithium, Dotomi will be able to extend this customer commitment to millions of new online consumers.

"Dotomi and BlueLithium believe in the common interests of online advertisers, publishers and consumers," said Gurbaksh Chahal, CEO of BlueLithium. "We are committed to improving the experience for consumers online by working with partners such as Dotomi who share our values. Direct Messaging allows us to expand our ability to deliver advertising that is always timely, accurate and relevant, with the goal of enhancing the value of advertisers' real estate. At the same time, we are able to help publishers make the most value of their online properties by serving ads that generate a positive response from online consumers."

"With Direct Messaging, BlueLithium now offers their advertisers and publishers a more effective method to communicate with customers in a way that is completely privacy-sensitive," said John Federman, President and CEO of Dotomi. "This is a great partnership for Dotomi to continue to expand our Direct Messaging distribution network to deliver respectful, permission-based messages to consumers while they are surfing their favorite websites."
