OpenX Market, the company\u2019s unique ad exchange platform, has experienced a particularly strong year-over-year growth rate of nearly 700%, a result of the growing number of publishers and advertisers recognizing the precision and strength of ad exchanges and the quality customers that OpenX attracts.
