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.
