[edit] History

BidClix was the first^{[citation needed]} online advertising network to create a "self serve" system that allowed advertisers to create and manage their advertising campaigns and allowed publishers to manage their online advertising inventory through a web-based interface. Prior to this model other advertising networks which required an employee to manually perform all tasks on behalf of the advertiser or publisher. The "self serve" system is widely copied today, and has become the standard in the online advertising industry.^{[citation needed]}

In Dec 2004 BidClix licensed its ActiveMarket technology to Bell Canada, operator of Sympatico.MSN.ca, the largest web portal in the Canadian market.^{[citation needed]}

The BidClix Advertising Marketplace has closed down as of July 31st.^{[citation needed]}
