Are your ad-banners seen ? Why effective ad exposure is so important ?
The Internet is lagging badly in capturing Brand ad $ (€ or £) More & bigger budgets less price sensitive More value for all online players Traditional media measures (GRP) Branding ROI measurement What is missing ? Branding campaigns
Many sites offer placement right at the top of their pages, far from contents. Observation: These ad spaces have a  great visibility rate , but their  impression duration  is quite  low  because surfers scroll down quickly for content The current “above the fold” rule does not guaranty a high viewing time!

CTR: less and less and less... one of the reason of the value loss....
(July 2009: clickers = 16%) Only 1 in 3 browser is a clicker....and they are not a representative sample
CTR does not correlate with branding effects
CTR does not guarantee good visibility rate Click rate Ad-Visibility rate  Top of a web page Bottom of a web page * Data collected on sample pages
