Fit with company? strategy?
Not IT driven (rather, short 30-day program cycles driven by consumers)
May have to make tough decisions in moving ad spending from traditional

Content-Targeted Advertising

enables advertisers to run ads on sites other than
Google’s own site.
• www.google.com/adsense
• Google then acts as an ad agency placing ads and
receiving a commission (e.g., 20%).
• Recently expanded to mobile content and RSS
(Really Simple Syndication) feeds used for
publication (e.g., a blog entry).

Measures of Effectiveness for Internet
Advertising
• Viewers (stay on site/page): number of viewers to a
site (and unique viewers)
• Ad views/page views/impressions: the number of times viewers see a
Web page with an ad. (Used to calculate cost per thousand or CPM).
• Hits (leave the site or home page): number of times a
specific component of a site is requested/clicked on.
• Clicks/click throughs: the number of visitors to a site that click on an
ad to retrieve information.
• Click through rate: % of ad views that result in an ad click. (Cost per
click (CPC) can be calculated)
• Cost per thousand (CPM) example for “go.com”:
• CPM = $10,000 per mo. x 1000 / 500,000 views per mo. = $20
