The Milpitis, Calif.-based Internet ad measurement firm said Tuesday evening that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of the AdRelevance division of Jupiter Media Metrix for $8.5 million. Founded in 1998 and based in Seattle, AdRelevance supplies information on where, when, how and how much competitors and potential clients are advertising on the Internet.
