Opera Software ASA

Opera’s cross-platform, cross-device web-browser products reach a global user base of over 200 million users on more than 3,000 devices. As an established global player with an international reach, Opera provides a gateway for users to discover and use the content, services and applications they need and want. Opera offers options to help you reach the right users and to help the right users find you across several platforms for content distribution: desktop, mobile, devices and the Web.

Desktop

You can increase brand awareness and drive traffic to content partners’ web properties with the Opera browser. The Opera desktop browser offers multiple content distribution paths — Speed Dial, extensions, bookmarks and search.

• Speed Dial allows you to promote services with direct, one-click access to websites, and a customized thumbnail serves as a visual tease to push your logo or content to users.
• Dynamic Speed Dial takes the Speed Dial concept one step further by allowing you to customize how your site appears in the Speed Dial slot, giving you the ability to tailor the appearance to show your site as an icon or as specific content, all reloading at intervals you set.
• Speed Dial extensions run inside the Speed Dial and appear alongside the websites. You can upload your extension to the Opera extensions catalog and promote your extension. Speed Dial extensions are “live” – that is, they update themselves in real time and include animations. Partners’ Speed Dial extensions can be suggested in the add+ dialog box.
• Bookmarks, allowing easy access directly to websites, can be pre-installed in the browser; the bookmarks bar enhances the visual appearance while auto-complete increases discoverability.
• Search is one of the most frequently used features in the browser and gives you a great opportunity to engage users while offering them specialized search options. A custom search can be placed in the dropdown search menu or directly on the Speed Dial page.

Mobile

Opera Mini, the world’s most popular mobile browser, lets you distribute your content via Speed Dial and search. You can customize Speed Dial slots with localized, preinstalled content. Speed Dial placement is instantly visible every time the user opens a new web page (or tab). It provides one-click access to your content directly from the browser. The prominent placement of the visual logo and bookmark attracts click-through. Search is another great way to engage your users. You can add a custom search in the dropdown search menu.

The Web
