SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 21, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- LOOK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- LookSmart, Ltd. (NASDAQ:LOOK), the search advertising network and management company, today announced the full release of SmartRotation, a cost-per-action (CPA) driven tool that automatically serves the best-performing ad creative in an ad group based on conversion data from a tracking pixel. The new tool, a feature of LookSmart's ad rotation, allows advertisers to optimize campaigns by conversion events like sales, sign-ups, downloads, and registrations to drive higher performance.

"It doesn't matter how many clicks you have if it doesn't convert," said Michael Schoen, Vice President and General Manager of Advertising Platforms at LookSmart. "While other platforms only offer even ad rotation or optimization by click-through rate (CTR), LookSmart's SmartRotation analyzes conversion rates and serves the best-converting ad creative, giving advertisers a better rate of return on their search investment."
