" In its bid to make TV advertising more accountable – and to sell more of it through its online auction service – Google has teamed up with TiVo, the companies are set to announce Tuesday.
TiVo will provide Google TV Ads with second-by-second viewing patterns of time-shifted programs in order to "enhance the measurement and accountability of ad impressions," they said.
Google TV Ads is a 2-year-old initiative from the Internet search giant for auctioning off television ad inventory on a CPM basis, charging advertisers only for the ad impressions viewed.
"TiVo helps us to more finely calculate how many people are actually watching an ad. It gives us a large footprint of data," Google spokesman Eric Obenzinger said."
