Segment Reporting [Abstract]

In accordance with ASC 280 - Segment reporting, segment information reported is built on the basis of internal management data used for performance analysis of businesses and for the allocation of resources. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis and no expense or operating income is evaluated at a segment level. Given the consolidated level of review by the Company’s chief executive officer, the Company operates as one reportable segment. Most net revenue is earned in the United States and all long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Through December 31, 2016, we reported our business as two segments. Both business segments recognize revenue identically. Virtually all the revenue generated within digital publishing comes from our advertising technology. Operationally, these websites are no different from any other website we serve ads to and in this regard, have always been managed internally as an additional source of supply for our ad serving technology. As a result, starting in the first quarter of 2017, we began reporting as a single segment. We believe this will bring more clarity to shareholders.
