Meebo to implement advertising service on the web

There are many sites that have added the functionality of Meebo so that their users can take advantage of the chat service. This is great for sites like Flixster because their users are not forced to navigate away from the site if they want to chat online with another person. It now appears that Meebo will be adding some web advertisements to the handy interface by the end of the month.

Users who take advantage of the chat feature will notice the appearance of banner advertisements. Once they click on the banner, a larger advertisement will appear on the screen which measures around 900 x 400 pixels in size. At the moment, the concept appears to be a good idea on behalf of Meebo although there is no clear indication as to the amount of money that the advertisements could bring in.

For those that choose to use Meebo’s chat service directly from their site, the banner advertisements may look a bit familiar. The company first implemented them there and after a successful experience they will be pushing the advertising service further.

Many people seem pleased with the advertising capabilities that Meebo is providing. Because a larger box appears when you click on the banner, there is more flexibility as to what advertisers can do with it. This means you could play a game in one of these boxes or watch a trailer for a new movie that is coming out. At the moment, advertisements on Meebo’s sites have about one percent of users clicking on the banners.
