Welcome to the New ClickZ Network

ClickZ, the Web site, was always called the ClickZ Network. But it wasn’t really a network, until this week.

“What are all these changes, and what is this network business anyway?” you’re wondering. I’ll explain.

ClickZ is part of a constellation of Web sites. Collectively, they comprise the largest source of interactive marketing news, information, opinion, and resources in the world (online or off-). You may be familiar with some of them. Internet Advertising Report, ChannelSeven.com, CyberAtlas, TurboAds, and Search Engine Watch were just a few titles in a group formerly known as the Interactive Marketing Channel.

Some we acquired, others we launched ourselves. The bigger and richer the channel became, the more tangled the collection of brands.

It was time to do something. So we did.

The ClickZ Network organizes this vast amount of information and resources in one place, under one name. We want to make it easier to use, navigate, and understand. You’ll find news, information, opinion, research, directories, and extensive archives.

Our mission is to help interactive marketers do their jobs better. We’re certain clearer organization of the same great content (no changes there) will serve you better. As always, let us know what you think.
