Terminology

Media Property Types
37. Important Terms: Page Views
Page Views(PV): The successful transmittal of the page (fully downloaded) to the users’ browser.
1st page view 2nd page view
A user goes to Yahoo! homepage (1st page view) then once user
clicks on article they go to the second page view
38. Important Terms: Impressions
Ad Impression: The metric a site uses for measuring and reporting ad inventory. Ad impressions can be counted by the ad server as a
result of an ad request or be counted at the delivery of an ad from the ad server to the browser. The recently established standard calls
for this measurement to be the count at the latest point possible in the process of delivering the creative material to the user’s browser.

39. Important Terms: Ad Frequency
Ad Frequency: The number of times an ad is delivered to the same browser in a single session or time period.
Assumed to be exposure to an ad. Frequency caps can be established and managed by the ad server using
cookies to ensure a browser only gets the same ad delivered “X” times. The frequency for email is the intervals at
which email marketing efforts are repeated: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, etc
Dr. Herbert Krugman’s benchmark ―three plus‖ theory established a commonly
used rule of thumb for minimum frequency levels. It states that three
exposures to a TV commercial are needed for effective communication.
What is the optimal frequency for online?
40. Important Terms: Hit
Outdated Metric Sometime Still Mentioned
Hit : The sending of a single file, whether text, graphic, audio or another type. When a page request is
made, all elements or files that comprise the page are recorded as hits on a server’s log file; therefore,
number of hits is not an appropriate statistic to use for analyzing or comparing sites.
Everything on the page below that clicks will get a hit. Over 60 hit opps per person per visit
10 hits
if clicked
20 hits
if clicked
10 hits
if clicked
41. Important Terms: Unique Users
Unique Users(UUs): Number of unique individuals or browsers for a given reporting period. Different methods exist for counting unique users/visitors:
1) where the user self-identifies through registration, 2) where the user is identified or marked by a cookie or other ID that is attached to his or her
browser, or 3) the site counts unique IP Addresses accessing its servers. For sites that use cookies or unique IP Addresses, these methods are counting
computers and browsers and not individuals. Syndicated research data will also include counts of unique users.
This is the metric most planners justify sites on – unique users per month, page views
and reach
42. Important Terms: Call to Action
Call to Action: Words in an ad (display or email) that entice the reader to do something. A typical call to
action is “click here” or “download now.” Ads with call to action will generally have higher click through rates
(CTRs).
―Enter to Win‖
Goal: Drive Traffic and Sweepstakes Entries
―Click here to take the quiz & watch videos‖
Goal: Film Awareness and Drive Traffic
―Learn More‖
Goal: Drive Sales
―Click here now to watch‖
Goal: Drive Traffic
43. Important Terms: Click Through Rate
Click-Through Rate/(CTR) or Click Rate: CTR’s are calculated by dividing the click-through number by
the number of ad requests or ad impressions. CTR has become a major measure for Internet
adcampaign effectiveness and provides a basis for comparison of sites and/or creatives. However, click
rates are not a complete measure of campaign effectiveness (they do not measure user activity past the
initial click or conversions). Click rates should be combined with other measures to determine the real
value of a campaign. See Return on Investment (ROI).

Optimization: In ad buying, changes made to a campaign (changing ad units, placement, creative) to
drive the highest click-rates or other metrics. In search engine marketing, the changes made to improve
a page’s rank. Optimization may include changes to text, title tags, meta tags, body text, etc.

45. Important Terms: Post Click Activity
Post Click Activity: The tracking and measurement of what users do after clicking on an ad unit, such
as completing a transaction or some other activity.
This means visitors who see ads and don’t click have a higher
probability of purchasing products that users who click. This also means
we need to taking click through rates with a grain of salt.
46. Important Terms: Cookies
Cookies: A cookie is information that a Web server puts in the http header in response to
a browser request. The browser stores this information, which allows the site to remember
the browser in future transactions or requests. Since the Web’s protocol (http) has no way
to remember requests, cookies read and record a user’s browser type and IP address and
store this information on the user’s own computer. Only a server in the domain that stored
it can read the cookie. Visitors can accept or deny cookies by changing a setting in their
browser preferences.
Cookies are what we use to track all the metrics online. Cookies not only help
advertisers track user interactions, cookies help websites remember personal
information such as credit card info and sign up info. More and more savvy
consumers like to delete their cookies from their browsers because of the fear of
“big brother” however that number is so small we don’t have to worry it about it
now. However, in the future we will need to find a new tracking mechanism.

101. What is Rich Media? Creative Technology
Rich Media is online advertising enhanced by motion, sound, video, or some
interactive element
› The comparison can be made between a standard GIF/JPEG banner which can contain
simple animation and a banner that streams a TV commercial
› With rich media, online ads approach television in terms of dynamism: they float above
content, animate, integrate video and audio. They also go beyond television to include
interactive elements like:
• Pull-downs for more information, micro-site in-the-banner
• Branded games and immersive activities
• Polls and Quizzes
• Downloadable Icons, Screensavers, Ring Tones, Documents, and more
• E-commerce functionality inside the ad unit
• Data Collection/Email Registration
• Viral Marketing –

“DVRs are changing the way Americans watch TV. Despite the competition for viewers’ attention from the Internet, video games and other media, TV viewership continues to rise. As with other vehicles, convenience is key - allowing people to consume content when they want. DVRs are a relatively inexpensive and useful tool for viewers to do that,” said Pat McDonough, Senior Vice President, Planning Policy & Analysis at Nielsen.Review the 3-Screen landscape

The measurement and accountability mandate will intensify demand for lower-cost, more efficient media.Media fragmentation will force marketers to target their messages to ever smaller niche audiences.Digital technologies are creating new opportunities for firms to self-market, such as a company’s own Website, online videos, e-mailmarketing to existing customers and so forth. These channels end up bypassing paid media such as yellow pages and direct mail.There will be a continued emphasis on “earned media,” such as on social networks and other consumer-generated community platforms. This will also siphon dollars away from paid media.

Is Wolfram|Alpha a search engine?No. It's a computational knowledge engine: it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning linksWolfram Alpha (styled Wolfram|Alpha) is an answer engine developed by Wolfram Research. It is an online service that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer as a search engine would.[4] It was announced in March 2009 by Stephen Wolfram, and was released to the public on May 15, 2009.[1] It was voted the greatest computer innovation of 2009 by Popular Science.[5][6]
Pay Per Click (PPC): An advertising pricing model that is based on the advertiser paying for each click on an ad or a search listing. See Cost Per Click. In the PPC search engine model, advertisers can control the ranking or placement order in which their listings appear. The ranking is determined by a bid value placed on the keywords chosen by advertisers to describe their site. The higher an advertisers bid, the higher the site's placement within search results when that term is used in a search query. Search Engine Search Engines help users locate information on the Internet by searching for keywords or phrases. Search Engines create indexes from resource lists or create them by using robots, spiders, crawlers or agents. Each Search Engine obtains its content, categorizes it and displays it using different algorithms and approaches. The most popular Search Engines are supported commercially through paid placement programs. There are hundreds of Search Engines and they frequently link to each other. See Directories.Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Search engine marketing refers to the activities taken to increase the positioning and visibility of sites as well as driving appropriate traffic to sites. These activities include writing appropriate titles/descriptions, designing landing pages to convert those visitors to customers or incent them to take some action, developing correct site architecture to improve a site’s rankings by “natural” search engine spiders and algorithms and purchasing performance-based placements or ads, such as pay per click and paid inclusion, to ensure a higher placement in the search engine results. See Search Engine Optimization and Search Results.Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making the pages of a site more easily reached and searched by search engines spiders. By emphasizing key topics relating to a specific site and selecting relevant keywords (words or phrases) as well as other techniques, SEO activities will help (but not guarantee) that a site places higher on the results page when those keywords or phrases are used by a Web searcher.Search Engine Placement Search engine placement refers to the position of a site within a search engine or directory. Higher placement can be achieved through search engine optimization or through paid placements. See Paid Placement. Search Results Search results are the listings that are displayed when a user fills in a search query box. On some search engines, the results page will list both the natural listings and the paid listings. With the pay-per-click model, the search results are displayed in rank order, based on the amount of the bid paid by the advertiser

Vertical vs, HorizontalThose that own their own inventory across multiple sites and sell them as a "vertical network," and those that don't own any content but operate like a Priceline or Hotwire for online ads. The latter are horizontal networks, which take the millions of unsold ad impressions available at any time of day and sell them A good example would be Martha Stewart Living's Omnimedia (MSLO). This company owns all of the Martha Stewart-branded sites plus WholeLiving.com and Pingg.com. A rep from MSLO can offer you inventory across all of these sites and create a custom program, often with custom ad content or packages within these sites.Horizontal like Specific Media, 24/7, Specific MediaDemand-Side Platforms (DSPs): These allow buyers of media to optimize their ROI by providing a way to bid and set business rules around campaign buys. A lot of the networks are DSPs or say they offer DSP servicesData providers & aggregators: These data providers supplement the services of Exchanges, DSPs, and ad networks by providing data which agencies and advertisers can use to better understand audience, attention, and reach. Affiliate networks serve another niche –merchants may provide a share of revenue from products sold or visitors/customers identified as brought to the merchant by the publisher’s efforts. Take awaysMarketers should make a decision based on goals and objectives, rather than choose a company based on classification Real-time bidding increases efficiency, but marketers must understand why they are bidding Understand where data come from, and how providers package the segments within the segmentsAudience targeting: Understanding what data are, where they come from, and their segmentation a-priorityReal-time bidding: You're bidding on an impression because...Ad visibility: It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your ad is?Managing your own cookie pool: Sweet, now what?Optimization, optimization, optimization
Transparency should exist for inventory sources, publisher relationships, content types, and ad placement details. - Advertisers should be presented with content categories that are universally defined in the industry. - Categories of illegal content should be defined or labeled. An example: content that infringes a copyright and thereby should be marked as prohibited for sale. - Under the industry organization's provisions, ad networks should rate content for audience segments. - Data disclosure terms should be outlined for off-site behavioral targeting and third-party data. Companies should provide for IAB training of appointed compliance officers in each certified network or exchange. Increasingly, brands have asked for more transparency from networks, exchanges, agencies, and data brokers so they know exactly what kind of online inventory they are buying for display campaigns. The issue has sometimes proven to be bone of contention between brands and inventory sellers in recent months. But whether the IAB's call for standardization on that front will reap compliance remains to be seen. The new IAB guidelines are its latest effort - and the digital advertising community as a whole - to reel in an industry constantly changing on technological and data fronts. The IAB's move comes as a time when some privacy advocates have called for more stringent measures such as obtaining explicit permission from consumers before receiving targeted ads. These guidelines came three days after the Better Advertising Project went live with its self-policing system, which is supposed to give consumers more control over how they are targeted by advertisers. Microsoft, American Express, AT&T, and several other major marketers have reportedly begun testing the so-called "power eye" system. It entails an icon in the upper right-hand corner of an online ad and looks like a combination of an eye and a power button. Viewers who mouse over the icon will see the data that was employed to target the ad, as well as the chance to opt-out of future targeting by those companies

Branded entertainment, also known as branded content or advertainment, is an entertainment-based vehicle that is funded by and complementary to a brand's marketing strategy. The purpose of a branded entertainment program is to give a brand the opportunity to communicate its image to its target audience in an original way, by creating positive links between the brand and the program.Branded content is not product placement’“branded content is integrating your brand with content in an organic way,” almost as if viewers don’t even notice it’s happening. Another way to think of it, “Branded content is content that delivers a marketing message in a way that consumers accept rather than reject,” Electus: New production company created by Ben Silverman, former NBC Head of Programming.Reveille: Top Hollywood production company behind such hits as The Office, The Biggest Loser, and Ugly Betty.Group M:Innovative WPP Agency behind many branded entertainment successes, like In The Motherhood.Ogilvy has an entire unit dedicated to entertainment marketing based in Los Angeles.

Content distribution cannot be measured purely by reach and frequency. Engagement and depth of interaction must also be taken into consideration. With few benchmarks available, marketers and media agencies are struggling to develop adequate measures for assessing the success of a campaign. However, as more brands become content creators, it is only a matter of time until more accurate measurement tools will be available. At the moment, campaign engagement and buzz should be good indicators. My favorite Branded Entertainment example started with a web program, that turned into a news story, that is now being turned into a TV show and possibly a movie. It’s called Gatorade Replay. Gatorade wanted to focus more on everyday athletes than on the Michael Jordan’s of the world to try and broaden their market. At the same time, they wanted to encourage older people to get back in shape and still continue to be athletes – adding more potential Gatorade drinkers to the mix. Their idea was a program, event, show, PR bonanza where they sponsored the rematch of a high school football game that ended in a tie 20 years after the game took place. Check out the trailer for the program here. One note on Best Practices. I think you need something about “the content.” To me it’s still unfortunately an overlooked component to B.E. (bad B.E.) development. If the show isn’t good, nothing else will matter. The best branded entertainment endeavors have at their core, kick-ass content that could stand on it’s own without an advertiser (and media dollars) attached to it. For example, that Gatorade program is incredibly compelling without Gatorade involved (though it could never exist otherwise).
Magazines point:We have not seen this yet, but this is the anticipated move within the Mobile/Digital Space. The Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) recently ruled that magazine publishers in the US and Canada will not need to make their digital edition layout identical to their print edition, but will be able to combine the circulation of both in one overall figure. They’ll be freer with format, like the ancticipated format of the Motion Magazine.
RIM still dominates the smart phone market with 13.9MM phones versus Apple’s 10.7MM phones that span their different models – moreso due to the fact that RIM is compatible with more carriers. The Phones called out in the slide speak to the specific devices, not the collective manufacturers’ market share.

MySpace is a platform for discovery and self expression---a place to discover and be discovered....it is about what youre into, not what youre up to. In fact we are no longer A Place for Friends....dropped from the logo. In fact many of your "friends" may not be known personally to you; rather people who are connecting with each other based on common interests...music for example. However, we truly are a destination for ALL THINGS pop culture...not just music...movies, video, games, tv etc. It's not people you may know on Myspace, it's 'people you should know'. I think these are some of clearest ways to distinguish our brand from FB, for your audience.things like rock the space and the step up programs we have run, it's our users who ultimately vote and select the winning band or the winning entry to appear in step up movies (or soundtrack...I dont exactly recall how these have gone down)...so they are truly engaging of the myspace audience MYSPACE MUSIC: Toyota MusicSponsored by Toyota.Sweepstakes contest for a MySpace Records contractUGCAbility to upload content and design your album cover Free Mp3 downloads provided by Music InteractiveNew artist promotion each week Fresh FacesSponsored by Wendy’s.Original video performances and behind the scenes video webisodes documenting specific new/emerging artists Video Archive feature to promote older webisodesChance to win Myspace Records deal URL specific to advertiser’s MySpace page
Understanding the Value of a Social Media Impression APRIL 2010Ad campaigns seed the creation of “earned “or “viral” media Social advocacy and earned impressions can impact consumers by: Making them more likely to notice ad (ad recall) Taking away ad message (awareness) Increasing interest in making a purchaseAs you’ve no doubt already concluded in your own media strategy sessions, buying social media is different than buying standard online media. It’s critical that we understand advertising not just in terms of paid media, but also in terms of how earned mediaand social advocacy contribute to campaigns. Social advocacy and earned impressions can impact consumers in three important ways: by making them more likely to noticean ad (ad recall), to take away its message (awareness), and to increase their interest in making a purchase (purchase intent).The next step is to expand this understanding to offline sales and long-term brand value. .The concept of earned media is not a new one; it’s been part of public relations for years. Historically, we looked at the number of times a brand or press release was mentioned on the nightly news, the front page of a newspaper or even in a movie or TV program. The key is that the brand did not pay for the placement and that the brand message was interesting, entertaining or newsworthy enough that the media outlet used it as part of its product voluntarily

Facebook'senabling content publishers to offer social features. such as adding a "like" button embedded in content. Pandora is leveraging Open Graph to facilitate the sharing of music and discoveries between friends. Capabilities include:The Huffington Post has socialized its content by offering a "Hot on Facebook" module, a "what your friends are reading" module, and a "like" button on most stories. Newspaper sites are incorporating a sort of "your news" box that lists the latest "news" you have received on Facebook. Here's the version on The Washington Post's website.Promoted Tweets debut The big news on Twitter is Promoted Tweets. These are sponsored tweets that appear in the Twitter Search results. Twitter announced Sponsored Tweets and its charter sponsor list (Best Buy, Bravo, Red Bull, Sony Pictures, Starbucks, and Virgin America) in April. More recently, Twitter altered its terms of service to ban the Twitter platforms and third parties from embedding sponsored tweets into users' tweet streams. UnFacebooks and user controlPartly as a response to concerns about Facebook's privacy missteps, a number of alternative social networks are attracting attention. From tech blogs to Elle.com, the UnFacebooks are a popular story. Orkut, MySpace, and Friendster are also trying to capitalize on Facebook's stumbles. Pip.io lets users define different "rooms" of people that they want to share information with. Users can also define if they want one- or two-way communications with their rooms. The biggest proportion of online dollars goes to search, so let's take a look at some of the "new" social search offerings:Mahalo bills itself as a human-powered search engine that combines machine results with expert and consumer recommendations. From its beginnings as a search-focused entity, it has now added a lively Mahalo Answers section and Mahalo How To, where experts help users accomplish tasks.Wowd (disclosure: a Catalyst:SF client) helps users understand what content is popular now and what content users like best. Users download the application, and conduct searches that reveal:The portals (and Meebo)Yahoo is leveraging social content from its own sources as well as third parties like Facebook. Apparently, Instead it blends the information available from existing platforms to enrich Yahoo channels.On the other end of the spectrum, Google is still trying to create a homegrown social platform to help it become a leader in providing social content. One of the more interesting integrations is its flavor of social search. By linking your Google profile to social platforms, you get search results that include comments and content from connections. Microsoft's strategy sits between these two poles, though it's closer to Yahoo's. Bing is leveraging existing third-party communities to socialize search results. Now tweets, blog posts, and shared links are incorporated in results. But Bing is also striving to create unique social-centered experiences. One example is how it integrated social into Bing Shopping. According to its blog, "With a single click you can ask for advice from your friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter for their take on a product you saw on Bing Shopping." Meebo's strategy is to focus on its strength in instantaneous sharing to carve out social territory. Its new "Meebo Bar" offers publishers an easy way to socialize content and promote virality. This ad-supported bar appears when a Meebo user visits a bar-enabled site. Users can send pages and content via IM of course, but also through email, Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, and Yahoo. ConclusionSharing content and opinions is something consumers seem to want in many of their web experiences, not just on specific social sites. How some of these companies and platforms will work with marketers, or indeed if they will work with marketers, remains to be seen. But consumers show a marked unwillingness to pay for content, so my guess is that many of these companies will be a-knockin' on our doors before long. That doesn't mean that they will work with us using the classic advertising model, though. I would be remiss not to mention blogs as the "sleeper" of social. It seems that these high-quality, high-passion, high-depth environments often get overlooked by marketers. While social nets and Twitter can offer us enormous reach, so can blogs, many of which offer the added benefit of expert perspective and depth of content. They may not be the shiniest of the social objects, but in my view brands would do well to spend more time and attention on them.An article like this omits other good companies and developments. If you are working on something that is more real than vapor and want me to talk about it as a follow-up, send me an email through PeopleConnection. If I like it, I will be happy to follow up with a brief piece about you in the blog section of this site.

SponsorshipsDefined Unlike traditional ad displays, generally occur when an advertiser pays to advertise on all or most of a specific section of a website or email newsletter. Not all sponsorships are created equal. The degree in which content or sections are sponsored depends on the site’s own construct.

Special content sections focused on centralized topics, themes or seasonal eventsA sponsorship may take the form of traditional advertising banners, integrated sponsored content, text messages ("this section sponsored by...") or the like.

AT&T was the first to dish over some money to HotWired to display the beast they created, a 468 x 60 banner that came to life on October 25 1994.The world's first banner was quite the ugly thing as seen below and clicking it will lead you nowhere, but just in case you really have the urge to click the world's first banner ad we've linked it to a link worthy of your intelligence.Commercial Ad that went with it http://adland.tv/commercials/att-you-willmarket-1994-030-usa A web banner or banner ad is a form of advertising on the World Wide Web. This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page. It is intended to attract traffic to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser. The advertisement is constructed from an image (GIF, JPEG, PNG), JavaScript program or multimedia object employing technologies such as Java, Shockwave or Flash, often employing animation, sound, or video to maximize presence. Images are usually in a high-aspect ratio shape (i.e. either wide and short, or tall and narrow) hence the reference to banners. These images are usually placed on web pages that have interesting content, such as a newspaper article or an opinion piece. Affiliates earn money usually on a CPC (cost per click) basis. For every unique user click on the ad, the affiliate earns money.
