Google, the new kid on the block in TV advertising, has signed up with The Nielsen Co., the venerable TV audience measurement company, in a deal that will increase the data available to participants in the Google TV Ads program.The agreement, expected to be announced Wednesday, calls for Nielsen to supply demographic data about TV viewers to Google, which in turn will use it to complement the information it already provides to advertisers and agencies in its TV advertising platform.Google TV Ads, operational since May, provides a platform for buying, selling, and distributing television advertising, along with tracking the effectiveness of campaigns.As it branches out into TV and other offline advertising markets like radio and print publications, Google maintains that it can apply to these markets the benefits of online advertising, in particular the possibility for targeting and tracking ads in a very granular way.For example, in its online ad system,&#160;Google matches ads to the topic of queries&#160;on its search engines and to the topic of third-party Web sites that participate in its ad network. Meanwhile, in Google&#39;s most popular ad format, called pay per click, advertisers pay only when users click on their ads.In Google TV Ads, Google captures and aggregates data from TV set-top boxes, giving advertisers constantly updated information about the distribution of their ads. Advertisers pay by set-top box impressions, according to Google.Wednesday&#39;s announcement is the first of a multi-year agreement in which the two companies will explore other opportunities to collaborate.Google didn&#39;t immediately reply to a request seeking comment on whether Wednesday&#39;s agreement also calls for Google to provide set-top box usage data to Nielsen.

(InfoWorld) - Google has created a searchable index of Google Earth data files, a feature that should make it easier for users to find and adopt third-party overlays for this popular mapping application. Google Earth's search engine now returns KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files which developers have created to add data to the application's maps, the Mountain View, California, company said Wednesday. "Users can now search through all of the world's KML files, making the millions of Google Earth layers on the Web instantly accessible for geobrowsing and exploration," wrote Chikai Ohazama, a Google Earth product manager in an official company blog. Google expects to later extend this capability to its mapping Web site Google Maps, Ohazama wrote. Google Earth is a free, downloadable PC application that taps a multiterabyte database of aerial and satellite images to let users "fly" around the globe using a video-game type user interface. By creating overlays in the KML file format, users can create markers to pinpoint places and provide all sorts of information about an area, making Google Earth a repository of local business listings, homes for sale, photos, architectural drawings, videos, historical facts and geographical data. KML users range from casual, individual users to large organizations like Discovery Networks, the U.S. National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution and National Geographic. KML can also be used to add data files to Google Maps, a mapping Web site that is one of the most popular among developers for creating mashups, which are Web applications that use data and features from an existing site or online service via application programming interfaces (APIs). Online maps, in combination with local search engines, have become very popular in recent years, giving people a way to discover local businesses and attractions, obtain driving directions and view satellite images of an area, among other things. Google competitors like Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., AOL LLC and Ask.com have made their mapping sites a high priority for development. Advertising revenue in local search engines is expected to grow from US$3.4 billion in 2005 to $13 billion in 2010, according to The Kelsey Group Inc.
