The document discusses traditional online advertising methods like banners versus newer social media approaches. Banners have very low click-through rates of around 0.2% and are seen as intrusive. People prefer to search for information and share experiences on social networks. Spending on social media ads is growing while banner ads are declining, as content shared between friends on networks has more relevance and impact. The document advocates using widgets and a social media approach to promotion over traditional banners in order to increase engagement through interactivity and sharing of relevant content among connected social networks.
