Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Business | Organization and Business Company Overview Inuvo, Inc. is an internet advertising technology and digital publishing company. We develop technology to deliver content and targeted advertisements over the internet. We generate revenue when an end user clicks on the advertisements we delivered. We manage our business as two segments, the Partner Network and the Owned and Operated Network. The Partner Network delivers advertisements to our partners' owned or managed websites and applications on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. We generate revenue in this segment when an advertisement we serve is clicked. At that time, we share a portion of the revenue we collect from the advertiser with the publishing partner where the click originated. Our proprietary technology platform allows for targeted distribution of advertisements at a scale that measures in the hundreds of millions of advertisements delivered monthly. The Owned and Operated Network designs, builds and markets consumer websites and applications. This segment consists of our mobile-ready ALOT websites and acquired web properties. The focus is on providing engaging content to our users. The majority of revenue generated by this segment is derived from clicks on advertisements delivered through web searches and advertisements displayed on the websites. We have taken several significant steps to position our business for long-term success including investments in ad serving technology, the development of adaptive, native advertising technology, the creation of proprietary content, the expansion of publishers within the Partner Network, the continued expansion of direct relationships with advertisers, and the optimization of overhead and operational costs all of which we expect will improve revenue and profitability. Our ALOT-branded websites and applications have a broad appeal focusing on popular topics such as health, local search, finance, careers, travel, living and education. These sites are content rich, searchable, mobile-ready web properties. We plan to continue the expansion of our website and mobile application business by expanding the ALOT brand and acquiring websites. In 2015, we launched our proprietary native advertising solution for web publishers and application developers, "SearchLinks"®. This is our entry product in the fast growing native advertising marketplace where ad copy seamlessly integrates with the content of the host website or application. SearchLinks was made available to the marketplace in the third quarter of 2015. We expect it to be a contributor to growth in 2016. Liquidity On September 29, 2014, we renewed our Business Financing Agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. ("Bridge Bank") (see Note 6, "Notes Payable"). The renewal provided continued access to the revolving line of credit up to $10 million through September 2016 and a new term loan of $2 million through September 2017. As of December 31, 2015, the balance of both the term loan and the revolving line of credit was zero. The revolving line of credit had approximately $6.5 million in availability at December 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2014, we filed an S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to replace the existing, expiring S-3 "shelf" registration statement. Though we believe the revolving line of credit and cash generated by operations will provide sufficient cash for operations over the next twelve months, we may still elect to sell stock to the public or to selected investors, or borrow under the current or any replacement line of credit or other debt instruments in order to fund the development of our technologies, make acquisitions, pursue new business opportunities or grow existing businesses.
