2007-08-13T22:45:00.000-06:00

Many people often wonder about how to make extra money on the side and how to boost their incomes without investing too much time and effort into it. Google AdSense program has created just a way to do it. Google AdSense initiative is based on advertising but of a different sense than most banner attachments usually seen on the websites. AdSense is based on specific needs of those searching providing ads only related to the topic that is being inquired about.

As is widely known in order to promote a product it needs to be advertised. Even the weirdest and least known product can be sold with right amount of advertising. AdSense is a way to advertise a specific product to a specific group of people. People visit websites every day looking for some sort of information. Search engines have been created to make it easier to find what consumers are looking for, Google being the leading one.

Every time a consumer conducts a search a keyword is being used to produce maximum results on a very narrow topic. AdSense is a system based on scanning these results to provide ads only related to the topic searched. This being said a website hosting Google AdSense ads comes up with related links to the topic, allowing the host of the site to make extra cash on these ads every time a viewer happens to click on one of them.

Various ebooks have been produced to teach internet users how to implement correct AdSense strategies and how to make money off of their websites. Makeshift guides are available for purchase directly from the websites of the authors. These books coach potential website administrators on how to use AdSense to their advantage. Some of the AdSense tips include content monitoring, where it is more desirable to keep in mind that information presented on the site should correspond better with the provided links, to assure more favorable results.
Where many people are skeptical about the concept, calling this initiative simply a way to produce more spam a lot of people have found it useful and came to benefit from it, both on the hosting and consumer sides. After all, these ads do provide useful links to more information on the topic of interest and allow an average web host to make some extra cash while presenting interesting information.

Advertising Strategies: Calculating

2007-08-08T21:46:00.000-06:00

There are many types of advertising strategies used by different people. Upon testing which strategy will be best for you, you should remember that one strategy may have different results with different people. There is no specified strategy that works smoothly for everyone, producing the best results. That is why you have to decide for yourself which way of advertising to choose. Before choosing, you need to get accustomed with all available advertising techniques. One of them is advertising using banners on the Internet.

Banner ads of your business can be put in different sites on the Internet. The most important thing you must learn about banners is to calculate the banner advertising rate. It determines the price you have to pay, as well as the results from the advertising. The first banner advertising rate that you must learn to calculate is the cost per click. Although most banners are not sold on a cost-per-click basis, you should know it so that you estimate whether advertising on a certain site is worth paying. If your banner has been clicked on 5 times this month by visitors of this site, your clickthrough ratio amounts to 0.5%. If you have paid 20$ for a monthly advertising on the site, then the cost per click is 4.00$ (you paid 4$ for a single click on your banner).If another site delivers a similar click rate but offers a lower-cost CMP, then it is better for your budget.

Another banner advertising rate is the cost per unique visitor. The average sum of pages that the visitor sees on a certain site varies. If, for example, a particular site has an average of 6 page views per visitor and its average number of impressions per month is 600 000, then their average user sessions per month would be 100 000. If your aim as an advertiser is the number of clickthroughs, then the cost per visitor should not be bigger than the CPM. Having this site as an example, the impressions that you will get per month will amount to 100 000.

But if brand recognition is your greatest aim and you are trying to make your brand name popular among many people, your banner should be seen over and over again. If so, then a low cost per visitor would not be as important as a low cost per impression. Many ad agencies are dealing with calculating different banner advertising rates, so that your money can match the purpose that you are trying to achieve.

Another calculated banner advertising rate is the so called ”conversion rate”. It is important for sites that are selling goods, and many online stores use it. This banner advertising rate shows how many people who saw the banner actually bought something.

So, as you have probably understood, the main problem when calculating different banner advertising rates is to have an idea of the exact number of clickthroughs. The easiest way to do this is to use a script that will track down the number of clicks received from different links. Here are two ad tracking resources ,which will ensure that you get the correct total count of clicks.

If you decide upon trying banner ads, you should have these things in mind. You should learn to calculate your banner advertising rates, so that your money is not wasted uselessly.

Houston Museum of Natural Science Went Viral

2007-08-06T21:40:00.000-06:00

The Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) was one chosen to showcase the world-famous Exhibition for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. HMNS quickly realized that while the exhibit was expected to generate a great deal of interest, it didn’t have a lot of appeal for their core audience. The success of the exhibition, therefore, would rest in how it was marketed.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science quickly called in Spur Digital to help reach the targeted demographic audience and generate interest in the Exhibit. HMNS was, also, hoping to acquire new patrons and members to further their future revenue.

Spur digital worked with HMNS to identify the target market for the campaign and developed an integrated online media plan to reach those audiences. The campaign featured an online contest that was marketed through targeted online media outlets including relevant Web sites, Search Engines and third party E-mail lists. Viral marketing was an important component of the campaign, so Spur developed an innovative strategy to get people to refer their friends.

Spur identified the target audience as males 18 to 34 years old who were fans of action and fantasy films, frequent video game players and movie renters, tech-savvy who generally didn’t hang out at museums. Based on this information, Spur chose search engine advertisements that would accompany specific search words, dedicated e-mail advertisements, sponsored e-mail advertisements, banner ads on web sites targeted toward the desired audience, and e-mails to the HMNS list.

Did it work? You bet! The results were excellent. The impact of the viral marketing effort was astounding - over 23% of registrants came originated from the Tell-A-Friend feature. The direct marketing efforts yielded impressive results as well. In total, the 12 week, locally-targeted online campaign yielded more than 2 million targeted impressions, 40,000 unique visits, almost 12,000 and 6,000 invitations sent by friends at a cost per action of less than $3.00. These contributed to the record attendance of almost 100,000 over 3 months.

Getting a “Buzz” On with viral marketing

2007-07-30T19:05:00.000-06:00

Viral marketing has matured a bit over the years. There seems to have been a shift to the web not just being seen by agencies and brands as another tick box for any ad campaign, which is significant enough, but now being the medium where a campaign is launched to create a buzz before it hits TV and print. Even before a movie is released which used to be seen as the pre-launch buzz-generation activity. Big business “gets it”.

Buzz works! It can work for small and start-up businesses, as well. The planning stage of a viral campaign will set out objectives and develop the viral theme for a buzz. There are three core components to any viral campaign and businesses of any size can use them. They are:

1. The creative material: the viral agent that embodies the message you want to spread in a digital format (image, video, text, etc). The trick is to put together material that people will be eager to share with their family and friends and people are much more eager to share “advertainment” and advertisement.

2. Seeding: distributing and placing the agent online in places that provide the greatest potential spread. Direct viral material downloads or links on specialist viral third-party web sites in order to create awareness and spread before users get to the campaign destination site.

3. Tracking: Measuring the spread of the campaign to provide accountability and prove success. It is absolutely vital that you know what is or is not working. The only way to get that information is to track the results of your seeding.

Lessons have been learned, trends have been developed and there is definitely some science involved in creating a buzz successfully. The buzz technique is here to stay and, if used strategically, it can make a difference to the success of your e-business.

Four Good Reasons to Use Viral E-books

2007-07-12T18:26:00.000-06:00

It is a well known and widely accepted fact, that E-books….FREE E-books…are one of the best weapons in a viral marketing campaign arsenal. Here are four good reasons why this is true today and will continue to be true for the foreseeable future:

1. E-books are cheap to produce and don’t take long to set up. If you have articles that you have already written about the subject you are promoting, you can simply combine these articles into an E-book. If, on the other hand, writing isn’t your forte, you can use rebrandable E-books that have been produced by others. Just use your favorite search engine and do a web search for “rebrandable E-books”. You will get a lot of hits and have many to choose from. One way to distribute these E-books to visitors to your website is to give them as a free gift for subscribing to your newsletter. If your E-book contains material that people will want to share with their friends and family, they will pass it along to them… they will pass it along to others…and you will make money.

2. E-books are capable of reaching a large audience. The only limiting factor is the enthusiasm or the participants. Therefore, it is absolutely vital that your E-book contain something that people will want to share like timely information or humor. Remember that people like to know something that the rest of the world needs to know. They will pass along something that makes them look like they are in-the-know.

3. E-books are a way to sell other products other than the one you originally targeted. For example; if you are selling garden products, your customers could also be interesting in E-books about lawns, trees landscaping, etc.

4. E-books are effective in building your reputation. It is an implied recommendation if you give a quality E-book and users willing pass on to others.

"Folksonomies" - a New Viral Marketing Tool

2007-07-11T21:55:00.000-06:00

A new consumer phenomenon is called "tagging" or "folksonomies" (short for folks and taxonomy). Tagging is powerful because consumers are creating an organizational structure for online content. Folksonomies not only enable people to file away content under tags, but, even better, share it with others by filing it under a global taxonomy that they created.

Here's how tagging works. Using sites such as del.icio.us - a bookmark sharing site – and Flickr - a photo sharing site - consumers are collaborating on categorizing online content under certain keywords, or tags.

For instance, an individual can post photographs of their iPod on Flickr and file it under the tag "iPod." These images are now not only visible under the individual user's iPod tag but also under the community iPod tag that displays all images consumers are generating and filing under the keyword. Right now Flickr has more than 3,500 photos that are labeled "iPod."

Tagging is catching on because it is a natural complement to search. Type the word "blogs" into Google and it can't tell if you are searching for information about how to launch a blog, how to read blogs, or just what. Large and small sites alike are already getting on to the folksonomy train. They are rolling out tag-like structures to help users more easily locate content that's relevant to them.

Although tags are far from perfect, marketers should, nevertheless, be using them to keep a finger on the pulse of the American public. Start subscribing to RSS feeds to monitor how consumers are tagging information related to your product, service, company or space. These are living focus groups that are available for free, 24/7. Folksonomy sites can be also be carefully used to unleash viral marketing campaigns - with a caveat. Marketers should be transparent in who they are, why they are posting the link/photos and avoid spamming the services.

E-books and Affiliate Programs

2007-07-10T16:01:00.000-06:00

Some E-books combine very well with an affiliate program. When the affiliate receives some extra benefit from promoting the viral message, like being able to brand your E-book with his affiliate links, the affiliate makes a sale when a reader buys through a branded link. You benefit from increased traffic on your website because the affiliate is willing to promote the E-books for you.

Be absolutely certain that your message includes a clear call to action. There shouldn’t be any doubt whatsoever about what you intend recipients to do. Make sure that the instructions are perfectly clear so that recipients know HOW to act. The action that you require should be simple and obvious as well. Don’t make things complicated or it will confuse the reader, such as by adding numerous links.

Remember the K.I.S.S. principle Keep It Simple Stupid! The incentive should be clear to those you want to take an action. Readers will look at your offering for about seven seconds before they move on. If it takes longer than that for them to figure out what it is you want them to do, they will move on. Don’t make your message vague or difficult to comprehend. If you do, chances are you will lose them. You must respect your readers enough to express your message clearly.

Once you are sure you have an E-book that will be of value to an affiliate program, approach them with your idea and be able to show that it will be mutually beneficial.

Viral Marketing using E-books is one of many techniques that all together have a cumulative effect in attracting customers and subscribers to your business and in attracting targeted visitors to your website. You will very soon find out that this is an excellent way of increasing sales, subscribers and referrals.

B2B Marketers Do It, Too

2007-07-08T19:20:00.000-06:00

They use viral marketing by e-mail as a marketing tool... what did you think I meant? Viral marketing can work well for B2B providers, as long as the following is true:

1. The product or service has to add value for the sender, as well as, the receiver.

2. The offer has to be deliverable. You don’t want to offer a product that you can’t deliver if demand grows rapidly.

3. The offer has to be easily transferable to others. E-mail and Web pages provide the best medium to facilitate this.

4. The vest viral marketing campaigns use existing networks to move the message along.
The basis of viral marketing has been around for a long time. The idea is that you incite your customers or referral sources to pass on something about your business to their network of colleagues and friends. Those that pass on your information get something in return. The something might be a gift or service related to your business.

Using e-mail makes it incredibly easy to pass information on to a friend or colleague, especially if it involves something fun or free. With millions using the Internet worldwide, the potential for exponential growth is tremendous. The great things about viral marketing are that it is free and works virtually by itself. Once you make an offer and provide the facility for referrals, viral marketing spreads like… well… a virus…but the good kind.

To implement viral marketing at your business; first, start with your customer base. Incite existing customers to refer new ones. Second, go to your referral sources. Service providers, your outside network and colleagues can be encouraged to provide referrals that lead to business.

If your customers are stressed business owners, offer a reward that provides relaxation and leisure... like a weekend away.

6 Ideas for Viral Marketing

2007-07-06T18:55:00.000-06:00

Here are six ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:

1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral E-book. Allow people to give away your free E-book to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet.

2. If you have the ability to set up a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.

3. Do you have a knack for web design? Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. Then, allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site. Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact.

4. Write an E-book. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers.

5. Write articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.

6. You can easily find products on the Internet that will sell you a license allowing you to distribute the product free of charge to other people. Look for those products that provide "branding rights". That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact information.

3 Steps to Find “Freebies” to Add to Your E-book

2007-07-04T15:57:00.000-06:00

Those of us who regularly shop on line are familiar with the array of free gifts, free bonuses and just plain freebies that are offered to a visitor to a website to encourage them to buy. How could you collect, select and offer free gifts, which will be valued as much as the original merchandise that is being purchased, put these gifts together and add them to your E-book? There are just three steps to do that very thing. They are:

1. Identify your key words in each chapter of your E-book. Now, type those words into your favorite search engine. You are looking for free E-books on the same subject in more depth, by a greater expert than you are, or by someone who gives a new and fresh angle to the topic. Add a link to the free E-book in each chapter of your E-book.

2. Research the Internet for related free gifts. Now you are looking for things that you could give as free gifts in your E-book that will make it more appealing and give it more pass-along appeal to your readers. For example: If you are selling gardening supplies, find a planting guide on the web that can be downloaded and include that as a gift in your E-book.

3. Download the freebies. Visit the freebies pages on those web sites. Most sites have freebies and encourage you to distribute them.

Other key words I searched for are freebies, free E-books, and free reports and then gave the key word that I wanted the free stuff for. Like… “freebies for gardeners”.
Give your reader the vest that you can offer. Give them your book, additional reading material and free gifts to boot. Everybody loves a bargain!

Effectively Using Overture/Yahoo To Get Website Visitors

2007-07-02T16:51:00.000-06:00

Overture or now known as Yahoo because of Yahoo’s takeover, was the original inventor of the use of the P4P or Pay for Performance. Overture saw that the internet was fast becoming the easiest and most convenient way to shop, and advertising was going to hit at an all time high because of the many businesses in the arena.

To get a person to go to a site than others, it needs to be very visible. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales. Yahoo provides a service that can put a site or company’s ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted.

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company.

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company’s goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google’s Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don’t need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.

While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.
Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start.

2007-06-21T23:12:00.000-06:00

There are so many success stories you will hear about businesses making it good in the internet. The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.

Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you have the more people would be able to sell your products to.

But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact.

But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business.

Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your site exists; the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense.
While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free, this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising schemes by Google and Yahoo.

They are free and easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.

Search engines provide information to the millions of users that they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks of the search results page, you get a great chance that they will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.

When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an empty sales day.

Paying for your Traffic

Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right keyword for the right moment.

All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result to a great boost in your sales figures. Paying for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will get all the benefits it has to offer.

While there are companies that are all too eager to help your site and business build a clientele for a fee, there also many ways that can spread the word about your sites subsistence in a more cost free way. One of this is Opt-in email marketing, also known as permission marketing.

Opt-in marketing requires the permission of a willing customer to subscribe to your marketing materials, materials that take form in newsletters, catalogs and promotional mailings via e-mail. The more opt-in marketing mail is sent, the more chances there is to bag sales and more sales. To do this, you must build a list of all those who wants to subscribe to your opt-in marketing list.

From your list, you will get your targeted customer, this is a good list since they already have shown interest in what you have to show and sell since they have willingly signed in for your list. These are the people who have liked what they have seen in your site and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase what ever product or service your company and site has to offer.

Many people would think that building their lists would take hard work and a lot of time to build and collect names and addresses. This is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some strategies but in doing this list, you open your site and your business to a whole new world of target market. Take the effort to take your business to a new level, if traffic increase and good profits are what you want, an opt-in list will do wonders for your business venture.

Different groups of people would have different approaches in building an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse many methods are, there are always some crucial things to do to build your list. Here are four of them.

1) Put up a good web form in your site that immediately follows the end of your content. While some may say this is too soon to subscribe for a website visitors application, try to remember that your homepage should provide a quick good impression. If somehow a website visitor finds something that he or she doesn’t like and turns them off, they may just forget about signing up.

A good web form for subscribing to an opt-in list is not hard to do. Just write a simple short statement about how they would like to see more and get updated about the site. Then there should be an area where they could put in their names and e-mail address. This web form will automatically save and send you the data’s inputted. As more people sign in, your list will be growing.

2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your homepage very, very impressive. You need to have well written articles and descriptions of your site. Depending on what your site is all about, you need to capture your website visitor’s fancy. Make your site useful and very easy to use. Do not expect everyone to be tech savvy. Invest in having good programming in your site, make your graphics beautiful but don’t over do it.

Don’t waste your time making the homepage too overly large megabyte wise. Not all people have dedicated T1 connections, the faster your site gets loaded, the better. Go for a look that borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge.

3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring in more business. Even then and now, a satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad. As your clientele roster grows so shall your list. With more members on the list, the more people will get to know about what you have new to offer.

4) Keep a clean and private list. Never lose the trust your customers have entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to others and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe to you. Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers.

Making Money from Selling Advertising Space

2007-06-18T18:59:00.000-06:00

If you would observe the company that delivers the daily paper to your doorstep for a business case study, you will come to learn that the newspaper publisher hires reporters, writers and other important staff to create the contents and deliver the papers to their readers.

In addition to the above mention, the publisher has to invest regularly in heavy duty machineries and tons of papers in printing tons of newspapers on a daily basis.

And in order to ensure that the newspapers are delivered on time, the publisher appoints agents at every part of the covered territory.

So, how does the newspaper company make money? It is obvious that selling a copy of the papers at less than a dollar would not even be able to even fund the operations.

The answer? Selling advertising spaces! You have definitely seen lots of advertisements in the newspaper. The publisher simply sells advertising space in the papers to advertisers who want to leverage their advertising efforts on the paper’s high readership.

On the same analogy, you can make money the exact way from your newsletter: simply by selling advertising space to prospective advertisers!

If your mailing list size exceeds 1,000 (5,000 is recommended) subscribers and beyond, you can start selling advertising space for say, $10.00 per sponsor ad.

In this manner, you turn every issue you send out to your subscribers into a profit-pulling device. And since there is virtually no end to the stream of advertisers as products, services and businesses are cropping every single day in every industry imaginable, so are your money making opportunities.

Internet Advertising Agencies

2007-06-17T16:42:00.000-06:00

Internet advertising agencies carry the intended advertising message to a selected audience. It is essential to understand the distinction between the two commonly used terms- media and media vehicles. Newspapers form a media. Under this media, there are so many media vehicles. One of them is The New York Times. The same holds true with magazines, television channels, radio and Internet.

Selecting the appropriate media and the media vehicle, and arriving at a sound media mix, are crucial functions in advertising. These days advertising agencies provide help in media selection as an integral part of their service to the advertiser. The main concern of any Internet advertising agency is how best to carry the already decided advertising message to the target audience? Which media or combination of media will serve the purpose in the most effective manner?

Before assessing and evaluating the various media available, the agency has to study the firm’s market conditions- it is essential for them to find out the firm’s existing image in the market, characteristics of its major customer segments, their buying habits, their lifestyles and their pastimes. Next, the agency focuses on the marketing objectives of the firm. Ultimately the advertising campaign has to assist in attaining these objectives. He must also know the specific communication goals laid down by the firm.

These communication goals, which are explicitly stated by the firm, help the agency decide what media or media mix can deliver the advertising message for ultimately attaining these communication goals. Another factor that has to be seriously taken into account by the Internet advertising agencies is the total budget available to run the advertising campaign. This is an essential prerequisite because the money available will limit the choice of media.

Advertising Agencies & The Internet - The Contrast Principal

2007-06-14T18:16:00.000-06:00

If you have ever listened to one of those Internet Advertising Geeks you will understand completely what I have to say next.

They talk so much gobbledegook that when they say that they can advertise your product on Web 2.0 you become pathetically grateful.

Well they talk like that so as to make the job seem harder and more expensive and the end result looks like a miracle.

There is nothing more dangerous in Advertising than their ability to think delusional. My working experience with advertising figures suggested that they had repeated the optimistic lines about their performance so often that they themselves actually believed them! And nothing in advertising is more dangerous than delusion.

And so to day it is almost an article of faith among advertising people that advertising will not change because "it works"!

However facing the truth is the first essential step in devising a sensible strategy for the perpetuation of advertising.

But even if the most optimistic spin on the benefits of advertising were true, which they're not I hasten to add, they would still be facing a major problem! And that is the way they obtain their financial rewards militate against them ever changing the current system!

As one large Client recently explained: "In to day's marketing landscape, building a brand is about a whole lot more than advertising. An advertising agency alone cannot deliver everything we need – even though agencies may claim to deliver this, it's a myth".

He argues that the cultural weakness of agencies explain why they have struggled to develop their own digital capabilities".

However agencies are fighting back in their own nonsensical way, John O'Keeffe, executive creative director at BBH is sceptical that there is anything unique about digital marketing skills. "There is a very, very simple truth to all this," said O'Keeffe recently. "Nothing is more important than the idea. The people who espouse the view that digital specialists have some kind of technological advantage are diminishing in number. It's just not the case."

He added: "The technology is functionally very simple. It's not difficult to find the right button. What's difficult, and what's always been difficult, is getting people who can have great creative ideas."

See what I mean about delusional?

They never address the problem of "communication", they still waffle on about "Kreative"! There has been around for years a system that is far more effective than advertising, it is totally accountable and would allow Clients to, literally halve their advertising budget, it was immediately killed by Advertising Agencies because it would have depleted their huge profit structure!

If there is an Advertising Agency out there searching around for a mission statement, here is a suggestion. Come down off your high horse of superiority and confront your most important asset (no it is most certainly not your creative director!) it's us, the people who you want to buy the products that you advertise.

On no account use Focus Groups because they have been completely discredited as a complete sham and will not give you the answers you need!

And then interact with us…I guarantee that you'll be horrified and surprised by the outcome.

Oh…and by the way "creative" has never been the sole criterion for the success or otherwise of an advertising campaign…and don't you forget that either!

Having invested over $10 million in independent research, Paul Ashby is ideally suited to present the case for the widespread use of interactive marketing communication. The research investment has proved conclusively that one exposure to an interactive "event" is far more effective in all key measurements, than traditional advertising. Paul made this investment because his company, Effective. Accountable. Communication is predicated on being totally accountable to its Clients.

3 Quick And Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List

2007-06-12T16:55:00.000-06:00

You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.

In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn’t mean they are going to buy instantly.

Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

6 Ideas for Viral Marketing

2007-06-09T19:25:00.000-06:00

Here are six ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:

1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral E-book. Allow people to give away your free E-book to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet.

2. If you have the ability to set up a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.

3. Do you have a knack for web design? Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. Then, allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site. Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact.

4. Write an E-book. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers.

5. Write articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.

6. You can easily find products on the Internet that will sell you a license allowing you to distribute the product free of charge to other people. Look for those products that provide "branding rights". That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact information.

How Do Search Engines Work - Web Crawlers

2007-06-08T19:56:00.000-06:00

It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.

There are basically two types of search engines. The first is by robots called crawlers or spiders.

Search Engines use spiders to index websites. When you submit your website pages to a search engine by completing their required submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A ‘spider’ is an automated program that is run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site's Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites as well. Some spiders will only index a certain number of pages on your site, so don’t create a site with 500 pages!

The spider will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the moderators of the search engine.

A spider is almost like a book where it contains the table of contents, the actual content and the links and references for all the websites it finds during its search, and it may index up to a million pages a day.

Example: Excite, Lycos, AltaVista and Google.

When you ask a search engine to locate information, it is actually searching through the index which it has created and not actually searching the Web. Different search engines produce different rankings because not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indices.

One of the things that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial keyword stuffing or spamdexing. Then the algorithms analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the keywords on the original page.

How to Use Pay by Performance with A Marketing-Advertising Agency?

2007-06-06T21:31:00.000-06:00

Friends from the Creative industry generally lamented about being under paid and under appreciated while clients were genuinely concerned if they can recoup their investments in creative and production costs. After I published "How to Pay your Advertising Agency?" at my blog and ezinearticles, I was specifically asked if I can provide an example of “Pay by Performance” with a marketing agency or advertising agency.

Assuming the client has a decent agency brief and the marketing/advertising/creative agency understood it perfectly, then they actually conceptualized an equally decent campaign; theoretically there should be good returns. However, the marketplace is a strange place where big changes can speedily shoot a hot product down into the bottom of a valley. Though rare, it has happened before. It is such uncertainties of the marketplace, doubts and fears of clients and the difficulty of quantifying the value of “creative” people that the quotation is grounds for heated debates.

I believed a fair price is one where the client and the marketing agency agreed upon. The price can be agreed upon but “unfairness” somehow would still cropped up. The client might not be able to attribute his success to the press advertisement as there was no tracking device established. The designer might start to believe he has been paid peanuts when the sales results hit the roof. Even nothing was said and expressed; dissatisfaction can quietly seep in and adversely affect an otherwise cohesive working relationship.

So instead of offering or accepting a fixed price, both parties can consider the “pay by performance” option. To “pay on results” or “pay by performance” is not as simple as it might appear. Marketing, advertising and communications is largely a skill based, creative industry; where the “products” are ideas and action taken. Just as a beautiful fireworks display is over when it’s over, ideas exposed can never be taken back to reuse and recycle in their original forms. I am sure you can see the challenges of a “pay by results” program. The real costs that were tough to measure are the creative cost though it is not impossible. To effectively deploy “pay by performance”, you would need to overcome various challenges, and those had been discussed at another of my article, "Does Pay by Performance works with an Advertising Agency?".

After considering those factors and you still think “pay by performance” is for you, you may like to consider this working model.

1. Established what constitutes sunk cost, which could easily mean time (for research, analysis, brainstorming, conceptualization, copywriting, visualizing, story-boarding, desktop execution), material (such as photography with photographer, models, studio, props or purchased photo images or database for direct mail), traveling expenses.

2. Establish the quantum of such cost. Where cost cannot be quantified, you can check with your Association of Accredited Ad Agencies for recommended rates.

3. Client needs to agree to the quotation and to paying the sunk costs

4. Both parties need to agree on the performance measure. This includes fixing the deliverables and determining the expected results for each of these deliverables. One of the most obvious, and accurate, deliverable would be response to the campaign. This is usually measured by including some kind of direct response within the campaign. It could be a call-in number, an email or a web site.

5. Payment of the performance level should have a clear end date. Companies should not be afraid to pay. Alternatively, they can put a cap on the quantum, assuming that they are expecting a runaway success for the campaign. Again, this cap needs to be agreed. For example, both parties can agree to a $50,000 or a $5,000,000 cap to the performance bonus portion of the agency fees depending on the size of the project.

There are of course many ways to spin this. Above is simply one way to look at a complex arrangement. I am sure you can come up with a few creative ways to do this.

Don’t worry about what it costs you, only concern yourself with WHAT IT WILL MAKE YOU !

How to use Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) in Internet Marketing

2007-06-05T19:09:00.000-06:00

If you know how to use pay per click advertising properly when selling a product online, your chances of success in internet marketing are greater than if PPC were incomprehensible to you. Not only are you more liable to make money, but also to save it!

The first rule in pay per click advertising is to set yourself an advertising budget that you can afford. Many people have maxed several credit cards by failing to set a budget, and failing to make sales early in their PPC campaign. They then try to make up their losses by advertising even more, and the way that Google, especially, operate their Adwords program, it is possible to lose large sums of money without realizing it.

That’s the warning over. Now onto the techniques that can improve your success rate with PPC advertising, using Adwords as an example. Google Adwords is the most successful PPC program on the internet at the moment, and it contains several ways for you optimize your adverts. The first is choosing the breadth of coverage you want.

You can elect to have your adverts shown world-wide without restriction or you can limit it to specific countries. You should choose the latter since there is little point in your English language adverts being shown in countries with a very low ratio of English speakers (or readers). The USA is the world’s biggest internet market, and many restrict themselves to advertising here, or may also include Canada and the United Kingdom. Add Australia, New Zealand and Ireland and you are covering most of the English speaking world.

Next, you will be allowed to choose keywords for your advert. You should choose good keywords that have a high demand but low supply on Adwords. There is software available commercially that you can use for that, but the bid prices are also a good guide. The higher the bid price, the more Adwords pay per click adverts there are on Google. Your keyword should be specific to the product you are selling, and not simply generic. Hence, if you are selling blue square widgets, you should use that as your keyword, rather than just ‘widgets’. Not only will your advert be cheaper but your visitors will be more targeted.

Having chosen a few keywords to sell on, and got them at the lowest price per click you can, you should be ready to compose your advert. Google allow you three lines for the ad itself, and each is important. The first line is the title of the advert, the second should provide a feature of the product and the third line a benefit to the buyer. The title should state exactly what you are selling. It should be specific, such as ‘Blue Square Widgets’ and not just ‘Widgets for Sale’.

Keep in mind that you pay every time somebody clicks on your advert, so it is very important that the visitor knows exactly what you are selling. If you only sell blue widgets or square widgets, you don’t want somebody wanting red round widgets clicking on your advert. On the next line state a feature of your widgets. For example, ‘French Widgets $10 – $15’. The potential buyer now knows that you are selling blue square widgets that are made in France and cost from $10 – $15. Anybody looking for American widgets for $5 will now look elsewhere, rather than costing you a click before they find that yours are not what they want.

Finally, on the third line, provide a benefit that could sell the widgets. For example: Fit all Widget machines’. The buyer knows that they can use your widgets in all widget machines so they needn’t look elsewhere for widgets that fit their machine. You are doing two jobs when designing a pay per click advert: selling and trying not to attract visitors that your products are wrong for. You therefore have to sell and deter at the same time.

Finally you should analyze your adverts in order to improve the conversion rate of visitors to clicks. Google allow you to run two or three adverts together, so make slight alterations in the wording and choose the one that gives the best result. If you keep doing this, each time retaining the best performing ad, then you will eventually end up with advert with the best possible return for your money.

Finally, the URL that the potential buyer is sent to must land on your sales page for the product. Do not send them to your home page, or any other. The purpose of the advert is to sell, and unless they land on your sales page they are likely to click away and try another advert.

Pay per click advertising is an excellent tool to use in internet marketing, but unless you know how to use a PPC program effectively it can be very costly and you could spend a lot of money and sell nothing.

Internet advertising agencies carry the intended advertising message to a selected audience. It is essential to understand the distinction between the two commonly used terms- media and media vehicles. Newspapers form a media. Under this media, there are so many media vehicles. One of them is The New York Times. The same holds true with magazines, television channels, radio and Internet.

Selecting the appropriate media and the media vehicle, and arriving at a sound media mix, are crucial functions in advertising. These days advertising agencies provide help in media selection as an integral part of their service to the advertiser. The main concern of any Internet advertising agency is how best to carry the already decided advertising message to the target audience? Which media or combination of media will serve the purpose in the most effective manner?

Before assessing and evaluating the various media available, the agency has to study the firm’s market conditions- it is essential for them to find out the firm’s existing image in the market, characteristics of its major customer segments, their buying habits, their lifestyles and their pastimes. Next, the agency focuses on the marketing objectives of the firm. Ultimately the advertising campaign has to assist in attaining these objectives. He must also know the specific communication goals laid down by the firm.

These communication goals, which are explicitly stated by the firm, help the agency decide what media or media mix can deliver the advertising message for ultimately attaining these communication goals. Another factor that has to be seriously taken into account by the Internet advertising agencies is the total budget available to run the advertising campaign. This is an essential prerequisite because the money available will limit the choice of media.
