LookSmart & blinkx.com Partner for Video Distribution

LookSmart has signed a strategic agreement with blinkx.com to power video search results on LookSmart’s FindArticles.com (which averages roughly 17 million unique visitors a month and houses 11 million resource articles from 3,000 sources).

FindArticles’ blinkx partnered video content will include news clips, short documentaries, TV content, movies and other appropriate video served to the consumer based on their search terms.

The additional video content is designed to increase visitor frequency and stickiness, along with new opportunities for LookSmart and blinkx revenue via video advertising.

“After looking at many options for a video partner who could help grow FindArticles’ audience, blinkx’s content, publisher relationships and technology made them a hands-down winner,” said Dave Hills, President and CEO of LookSmart. “We look forward to this first phase of a growing relationship with the blinkx team.”

“blinkx is the largest video search engine and our popularity derives from our technology which delivers highly relevant video results,” said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CTO of blinkx.com. “We are pleased to be providing LookSmart with the ability to better serve and grow their audience. And it’s a win-win – FindArticles is a great distribution channel for our video content provider partners.”
