Actual Findings on Internet Advertising Although Web advertising becomes a significant portion of marketing budgets, advertisers are still unsure on how to unlock the potential of the Internet. Current findings show that: - Consumer brands spend only a fraction of their advertising budget on on-line advertising. - Technology companies spend five times more on advertising in the WWW. - While banner campaigns are still popular, there is no standardized solution for on-line advertising. - Ad pricing is based on CPM (costs per 1.000 visitors), rather than on results. - Personalized targeting has not yet taken hold. Instead advertisers mainly target on content. At the moment three dominant models are used for Internet advertising: Destination Sites: They use entertainment, high production values and information to pull users in and bring them back again. Micro Sites: Content sites or networks host small clusters of brand pages. Banner Campaigns: Those include other forms of Web advertising like sponsorships. |
