Ads are in the air this week. Microsoft AdCenter announces the addition of a fourth mainline ad placement; MIVA tells us about its new advertising platform; and Google makes a strategic partnership with NBC Universal to display their TV ads on stations like CNBC, Sci-Fi and Oxygen. Google also takes an official stand on duplicate content, stating that there is no penalty for it, other than the possibility of the search engines picking the wrong content to search. Lastly, AOL pulls it all together by allowing you to aggregate Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo! email accounts through their site.
