Up and coming pay-per-click search engine MIVA announced this morning that they were going to be teaming up with video search engine blinx in a deal that would see MIVA providing contextual based advertising on blinkx's Smart Ads platform. The deal would see MIVA delivering geo-targeted, content-related PPC listings to blinkx users, which number in the millions.

The new feature is supposed to work by matching contextual ads with the action of a user's current desktop activity.

"The partnership with blinkx extends MIVA's reach into the growing desktop search space on a global level, which enables us to introduce our advertisers to a greater variety of Internet users," said Seb Bishop, Chief Marketing Officer of MIVA. "blinkx's unique method of retrieving information from different sources is a perfect fit with MIVA's philosophy of allowing our advertisers to reach the right people at the right time, regardless of what they are doing on their computer."
