Kanoodle

Kanoodle was an online advertising network founded in 1999 by Kent Keating, specializing in search-targeted and later content-targeted (contextual) sponsored links, adding partners such as CBS MarketWatch in January 2004. In August 2006 it restructured under a new parent company, Seevast Corp - the search-advertising business kept the Kanoodle brand, the content-targeted contextual ad product was spun out as Pulse 360, and the newly acquired Moniker.com domain registrar ran as a separate unit. Listed here as an Insight Partners portfolio company, Kanoodle/Seevast is defunct and exposes no surviving public API, developer portal, SDK, or documentation - the seevast.com domain now resolves to a parked-domain lander. This profile is retained as a historical portfolio lead.

Kanoodle is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Contextual Advertising, and Search Advertising.
