«Google and XM Satellite Radio are teaming up for a new advertising venture which will take the concept of Google's contextual "AdWords" and expand it into radio advertising. Google says these commercials will be placed on XM’s non-music channels. Google advertisers will have an automated way to reach XM’s millions of subscribers and in return, XM will have access to Google’s large and small advertisers to offer targeted messages to their subscribers. (...) Google AdWords’ customers will be able to place terrestrial and satellite radio commercials. The methodology for this automated ad placement will be done through the dMarc platform which was acquired by Google in January 2006. The dMarc technology simplifies the sales process, scheduling, delivery and reporting of radio advertising, enabling advertisers to more efficiently purchase and track their campaigns on terrestrial radio, and now on XM Satellite Radio.
