Conde Nast is the latest publisher to get in on the private exchange business. The Admeld-powered exchange will feature all of the Conde Nast content brands, including but will not be extended to include print. The exchange has announced eBay and Macy’s as exchange clients.

A big push from private-exchange providers like Admeld and Pubmatic is that publishers do not need to be binary in their approaches to direct and indirect sales.
