IAC reported first quarter earnings this morning, and broke out the financials of what the new IAC would like after the pending five-way breakup of the company is completed. (A March court victory against dissenting shareholder Liberty Media clears the way for the spin offs). What’s clear from the financial statements is that the new IAC very much owes its 22 percent jump in revenues and 15 percent jump in operating income to the $3.5 billion, five-year deal it struck with Google last fall to hand over all search advertising on Ask.com and other sites to the search overlord.

In the Media & Advertising division—the new IAC’ largest and most profitable unit which includes Ask.com, Citysearch, and Evite—revenues increased 28 percent to $216 million and operating income skyrocketed 192 percent to $31 million. This was largely due to better revenues per search query due to the Google relationship, and a slashing of marketing costs. (Those annoying and expensive TV commercials finally got canned). Ask has been able to hang on to iits No. 5 spot in search market share (4.7 percent in March, according to comScore) and showed the biggest percentage gain (12 percent) in search queries of any search engine

These numbers show the benefits, at least in the short term, of handing your search advertising over to Google—something Yahoo is learning itself through its limited test with Google to do the same thing. The question is what happens in the long term when market share erodes and Google does not have to pay so much for the privilege of taking away the search advertising business from its fading competitors.

IAC’s other businesses did not do so well on their own. Match.com saw a 10 percent jump in revenues, but a 13 percent decline in operating profits. And the other businesses are just a mish-mash of underperforming assets.

How to use it

1. Download moo.ddmenu.0.21.js and ddmenu.css. Include them in your page

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ddmenu.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools-beta-1.2b1.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="js/moo.ddmenu.0.2.js"></script>

2. Create the menu-HTML width the items and they’re IDs

   <div class="ddmenu def" id="ddmenu2" style="display:none">
   <ul>
   <li class="title">Menu Title</li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_item1"><a href="#">My item 1</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_item2"><a href="#">My item 2</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_big_item"><a href="#">This is a oversized item...</a></li>
   <li class="sepline"></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_item_with_icon1"><a class="objects" href="#">Another item</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_item_with_icon2"><a class="letter" href="#">Disabled item</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_item_with_icon3"><a class="umbrella" href="#">With icon</a></li>
   <li class="sepline"></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_spec_links"><a href="#">Enable on Links</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_spec_texts"><a href="#">Enable on Texts</a></li>
   <li class="item" id="menu_spec_images"><a href="#">Enable on Images</a></li>
   </ul>
   </div>

3. Initialize ddmenu class passing the options. This example calls console.info when a menu item is clicked. (Take a look in the JS-Source for more informations)
   

   function iniz () {
   pagemenu = new DDMenu ('ddmenu2', document, { //document can be the whole page,
   //an element or a parent of elements
   onOpen: function (e) {
   this.enableItems(true); //enable all
   this.enableItems('menu_item_with_icon2',false); //disable menu_item_with_icon2
   },
   
   onItemSelect: function (act_id, act_el, menu_bindon) {
   console.info("menu action -> item id: \"%s\" from: %o in %o", act_id, act_el, menu_bindon)
   }
   });
   }

Roughly one week ago Google introduced mobile image ads within the AdWords network. Today DoubleClick, Google’s most ambitious acquisition of late, of which it was officially granted tutelage not too long ago after passing through numerous regulatory hurdles, is putting its own heft behind Mountain View’s mobile ad systems. It is doing so by integrating with Google’s AdSense for Mobile, as well as other established independents in the market, including AdMob, the self-professed “largest mobile advertising network,” and one which our own Kristen Nicole featured in a piece earlier today, and MBrand, a network run by Millennial Media. Millennial’s Decktrade network is also forging a connection with DoubleClick Mobile in order to build upon Google’s spread in the burgeoning industry.

The ties made between all of the abovementioned networks, whether directly or indirectly, will, according to Google, enable publishers to sell graphic advertisements through a single gateway - that gateway being DoubleClick Mobile - to obtain “automated access to one or more neteworks of mobile advertisers.”

Google claims the the establishment of such partnerships will help publishers “better monetize their mobile Web content.” Given that DoubleClick Mobile is a component of the DoubleClick’s Revenue Center, which gives ad sellers one location from which to control marketing efforts, whether they be aimed at computer desktops and laptops or mobile phone screens, logic seems to favor DoubleClick when this level of coordination of this type is accomplished.
