AdBrite might have just secured an additional $23 million in funding, but at midnight tonight its business prospects may look decidedly dimmer. Competing ad network Etology is cutting deals with some of AdBrite's biggest customers to take over their ads. A big chunk of the ads that AdBrite serves are for porn sites on behalf of the AVN Media Network.

Those 1,268 sites account for 108 million daily impressions (or 42 percent of AVN Ads' total, and 13 percent of AdBrite's total). The other 151 million impressions are still up for grabs. Etology is trying to lure them with a 75 percent share of revenues, versus the 70 percent they got from AdBrite. I caught up with AdBrite co-founder Philip Kaplan on the phone to get his take. He notes that all the current 6,614 sites that run AVN Ads have AdBrite code on them, and that is going to stay there unless they take it off. "If you were an AVN Ads user before, you are automatically a BlackLabelAds user." But he is really not too worried about losing the porn business because it is not where he s

Search is dead. Or at least that's the opinion of one tuned-in venture capitalist I've been getting to know this year. We were recently discussing the drawn-out Microsoft-Yahoo-Google showdown and its larger implications when my fellow futurist issued his bold statement as a sort of summary dismissal of the whole multi-billion-dollar battle. In his opinion, Silicon Valley's Big Three are fighting over the scraps of the last decade of innovation while there's a sea change taking place in the way people use the Internet-one that may leave the Web's biggest players holding all the cards to a game nobody wants to buy in to anymore.
