GOOG: Google unveils mobile-friendly ad format

Google unveils mobile-friendly ad format • 2:33 PM

• Google's (GOOG +0.1%) AdSense display ad network division is launching a "responsive" ad unit that automatically adapts to different screen sizes.
• Google's goal is to enable ads that render better on smartphones/tablets, and in doing so improve mobile conversion rates and ad prices.
• The new format complements the launch of Enhanced Campaigns (integrated PC/tablet campaigns, with the ability to optimize by device/time/location) for Google's AdWords search ad business.
• It arrives after a quarter in which Google's ad network revenue only rose 7% Y/Y, something the company attributed to stricter ad policies.

YOKU: Youku rallies following Baidu stake rumor

Youku rallies following Baidu stake rumor • 11:55 AM

• Youku (YOKU +4.5%) shares have jumped thanks to a rumor Baidu (BIDU +0.8%) will take a stake in the Chinese online video leader (translation).
• Like some other Baidu-related rumors, this one should be taken with a grain of salt, given Baidu competes with Youku via its iQiyi and (recently-acquired) PPS sites.
• The rumor comes shortly after Youku boasted its daily mobile video views topped 200M in June, up from 170M in May and 100M in January. Youku also claimed (citing iResearch data) it had 14M daily unique visitors in June, well above iQiyi's 7M and PPS' 6.9M.
• Youku stated in May it had 100M+ monthly mobile users, and that mobile had grown to make up ~30% of its traffic.
