  &lt;p&gt;This is a further extension of AOL's recent strategy, with the company moving away from its roots as an ISP to building up its interests in online advertising. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The acquisition of &lt;a href="http://www.adtech.info/en/index.html"&gt;Adtech&lt;/a&gt; provides the company with an ad serving platform which serves web publishers in 25 countries and allows&#160;them to &#160;manage and report on their&#160;online ad campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;While AdTech is primarily based in Europe, it recently began operating in the US&#160; where it competes directly with DoubleClick, which was recently &lt;a href="/blog/1052-how-does-the-google-doubleclick-deal-affect-you"&gt;acquired by Google for $3.1bn&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The financial terms of the AOL/Adtech deal were not disclosed. &lt;/p&gt;
