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.

English mathematician and logician who pioneered in the field of computer theory and who contributed important logical analyses of computer processes. Many mathematicians in the first decades of the 20th century had attempted to eliminate all possible error from mathematics by establishing a formal, or purely algorithmic, procedure for establishing truth. The mathematician Kurt Gödel threw up an obstacle to this effort with his incompleteness theorem. Turing was motivated by Gödel's work to seek an algorithmic method of determining whether any given propositions were undecidable, with the ultimate goal of eliminating them from mathematics. Instead, he proved in his seminal paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem [Decision Problem]" (1936) that there cannot exist any such universal method of determination and, hence, that mathematics will always contain undecidable propositions. During World War II he served with the Government Code and Cypher School, at Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, where he played a significant role in breaking the codes of the German "
