The article, “Google introduces slate of features for newspapers, Print Ads
users,” should have reported the following:
First, Google has 750
publishing partners for its Print Ads service, some of which have attracted as
much as $1 million in bids from companies interested in placing ads in their
newspapers. Our story implied that Print Ads overall netted $1 million in bids
for participating newspapers.
Second, the 60 percent
rejection rate refers to the percentage of Print Ads bids rejected by some
individual publishers but it is not the rate recorded by all publishers. A low
rejection rate is not necessarily a goal of Print Ads, Google said, because
advertisers and publishers are intended to negotiate back and forth.
Third, Print Ads is engineered
to make both premium and remnant inventory spots available to advertisers. It is
not geared only to selling unsold inventory.
The Press Sales 2007 chart
contained some inaccurate sales data for Manugraph DGM Inc. The corrected
information appears on page 12.
