"As we've all learned, BitTorrent traffic has grown so large over the years that it has created enormous worry in the media world about lost revenue. And no doubt those concerns are legitimate.\nYet it can also be said that the P2P space has grown so large that the panoply of sites which make up the space register many, many millions of page views each month. And anyone with a basic understand of Internet economics will tell you plenty of page views equal plenty of cash. Enter, TorrentAds.\nExclusive to the World of P2P\nPurportedly operating out of Cornwall, UK, TorrentAds has been founded to do one thing and one thing only: serve advertisements on BitTorrent websites. (Not the ads in the screenshot to the left, though. That's somebody else's business.)\nFor publishers it promises \u201Csome of the highest CPMs in the industry.\u201D For advertisers, it offers a serving and reporting technology gleaned from a partnership with Zedo, an ad solutions provider based in the US, India, and Russia.\nA 'World's-First? Is There Gold in That?\nI'm not entirely positive about this, but its claim as the \u201Cworld\u2019s first torrent tracker...related advertising network seems fairly legit. Alternatively, sites like Mininova and Piratebay appears to rely on engines like BlueLithium and Ventiv Media for marketing duties, and those companies don't serve the file-sharing directories only.\nNow, as a young thing, it's hard to deduce whether TorrentAds\u2019s business proposition is a smart one. Putting your eggs into one basket can be a good thing, depending on the circumstance, but there's that niggling risk thing that goes along with it.\nStill, if TorrentAd's stated security and services are the real thing, its entering a marketing with numerically guaranteed rewards. The size of the P2P world explains that premise easily enough."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
