It’s a format, according to many sources, with declining investment and waning effectiveness. But a study from iProspect may have discovered an unexpected benefit of online display ads. When Internet users were surveyed to find out what actions they took when viewing a display ad on an ad-supported Website, nearly one-third said they clicked on the ad. In addition, 27% reported that they did an online search for the product, brand or company, and 21% typed the company Web address in their browser. Nine percent sought additional information using social media tools.
That means a click is only one measure of a display ad’s effectiveness. Among respondents who saw a display ad and performed a related search at some point, the largest proportion (38%) visited the advertiser’s site through search results, 11% searched but did not click on any of the results, and 14% searched, visited the site and purchased the product advertised.

Losing To The Social Web: Visualized A brands website has been the single biggest ”online” focus for 99% of businesses over the last 10 years apart from banner campaigns and microsites here and there, but with the evolution of social media growing at unheard of rates (Twitter is up over 3500% alone this year, while Facebook increased over 700% to finally overtake MySpace and then turned them to dust!) Businesses really need to think about what’s happening to their website traffic… I recently read a great post on Supercollider by Geoff Northcott (via Martina on Adverblog) that talked about the end of the destination web, along with adage, we are social and adweek about how the times are fading for websites and microsites are dead – Geoff posted a few good Google trends graphs, so I thought I might take that a little further, find a few additional graphs and look at why and where this traffic is going… There are 2 key reasons why website traffic is declining.

Post Digital Marketing 2009. How People Share Content on the Web. We all know it’s good to share, right?
Silicon Alley Insider recently shared some information with us on How People Share Content on the Web. The article took a look at some recent data released by AddToAny, a company that develops widgets that enable users to share content across various social media and other Web communication channels. It should come as no surprise that Facebook (24%), email (11.1%), and Twitter (10.8%) are among the most popular methods for sharing content on the Web today. This is significant information for any Web publisher or other organization that seeks to provide content for its users to share across the Web.
I think this information continues to support the argument that organizations need to open up more of their content for users. Back to the point of free versus paid content. As a consumer of online content, I am also an active sharer of information I find interesting. How are you making it easier for people to share your content today? Leaving innovation to Lastminute - 05 Feb 2009 - Computing. Lastminute.com is developing mobile applications to help users find local services In these troubled economic times, it is easy to say that focusing on IT innovation is critical, but it is often difficult to achieve.
For online leisure retailer Lastminute.com, however, innovation remains central to its competitiveness as it seeks to take advantage of the growing appetite for mobile phone-based services. Since forming an innovation group two years ago, the company’s strategy changed from handling higher-risk and experimental projects with limited user-group testing into quickly developing applications and fully launching to the public. Mobile applications represent about 70 per cent of the work carried out by the division, while other projects concentrate on creating unified search methods across the site’s range of products. “We will be following that quite closely as mobile technology made us start thinking about the need to provide services to people on the move.” Lastminute.com launches iPhone app directing users to local bars.
Lastminute.com is to launch an iPhone app which overlays the user’s location with information about local bars and restaurants. The free app, called nru, will be available from the App Store following approval by Apple. It shows people where the closest bars and restaurants are by overlaying their geographical position on the iPhone’s screen. It draws on both the iPhone 3GS’s compass and GPS.
The service was developed by innovation division Lastminute.com Labs and pulls in venue data from its music booking service Fonefood and reviews site Qype. If it proves popular, the app will be extended to include more relevant information based on personal tastes, who a user is with and what local events are taking place. Following an earlier version of the app launched via Google Android, nru forms part of a bid by Lastminute to engage with its users when they’re away from their PCs.
Marko Balabanovic, head of innovation for Lastminute, said it was natural for the business to move into mobile. Augmented reality could be mobile's killer app | Opinion | Mobile is littered with false dawns, from mobile TV to MMS and video-calling. None has really delivered on its promise, but industry execs are quietly touting mobile augmented reality as a potential killer app.
This week new media age revealed bookings service Lastminute.com will be the latest to launch a mobile augmented reality (AR) service which displays the nearest restaurants and bars on the iPhone’s screen by using its compass and GPS capability. In preparation for a feature which will run in the magazine next month, I’m talking to execs from brands including Coca-Cola and IBM and agencies including Ogilvy and Acrossair who support the technology as both innovative and useful.
Apps have certainly captured the public’s imagination and achieved widespread penetration and awareness, but have rightly also drawn criticism for lacking usefulness. Can AR piggyback their success by injecting some much-needed practicality into app stores? Video: Revenge is best served cold – on YouTube - Times Online. Is Social Taking over Google? - Articles - Baekdal.com. Every person who creates content on the internet wants to know 2 things about their visitors; how many are there (traffic) and where do they come from (referrers). And the way this works is currently changing at an incredible rate. The internet used to be a place that you visited to do or get something, much in the same way as you would 'visit' your TV to watch a show. The internet was a place, or a thing. But we are right now seeing an incredible change in how people use the internet. It is no longer a place that you visit. It's now like electricity. Today the internet is a part of us.
The internet is more than simply good content. This makes up the Social Web. The Traffic + Referrers of the modern web Many people are now seeing this shift in behavior directly in their statistic.
