Interesting times ahead for the two companies. I disagree that it is bad news for AdLINK people as such. In some markets where there is a significant crossover there will naturally be asurplus requirements. It happens in any takeover. As a current AdLINK employee and responsible for the International sales team, it’s how our market position will improve and what Hi Media will bring to the table will be critical.

Next ones to be aquired will be Adblade.com which is taking off like a rocket (compete) and Adbrite.com which has nice distribution.

[...] Robin Wauters declares that the ad network consolidation is continuing in his TechCrunch post detailing a European transaction where Hi-Media bought AdLink Media in a deal which is hard to quantify even in an English translation of the press release. (Here’s the original French version of the release for francophiles.) [...]

I meant under €30M by the way!

So Adlink have annualised revenue this year of around €70M and a valuation of under €15M..something doesn’t work here. From the limited information we have this is an outrageously good deal for Hi-Media.

It also sets the stage for what should be a busy consolidation period in Europe. It’s now all about reach and scale for the networks. The winners will really catch the cream as Europe’s adspend is going to maintain it’s growth trajectory over the coming years.

Who’s next I wonder.

Weird valuation. Worth 29.4 million, yet did 14.2 million in the first quarter of this year? Any American company doing 14 Million per quarter would think they were worth a billion or two.

Having a 10 ton guerrilla like Google’s AdSense, puts all other advertising networks on shaky grounds. They will have a difficult time to compete!!!

Could be a challlenge to the google adsends model Thank goodness we might see a change in the way google use there profit surplus to prop-up Youtube and release video on the net from the constraints of the no profit anomoly, and put video back in the perspective of a cost center.

We need more competition like this, good luck AdLink Media.

Congrats to AdLink Media. Looks like a great deal.

And that puts other advertising networks that are more focus on cool technology such as social advertising e.g. Facebook, SocialMedia.com, Adgregate.com and AdExcel.com into a wonderful light. Can’t wait to see how these companies innovate and monetize the web.
