Tips to help you avoid common advertiser mistakes | Mobile Ads

There are a lot of variables for an advertiser to consider when setting up and later evaluating the success of their mobile ad campaign. We’ve previously published best practices and optimization tips for all advertisers and tips specifically for iPhone advertisers, however we know that managing an effective campaign is an art and a science. As such we wanted to share a few of the mistakes we’ve seen advertisers make to help you avoid these common pitfalls.

* Not including branding or a call to action in ad copy. Users who know who you are and what they will need to do once they click on your ad are much more likely to click and then convert into customers.

* Not changing ad text frequently. Just like you’re more likely to skip through a commercial that you’ve already seen, users are more likely to ignore your ad if the copy is stale. We recommend closely monitoring reporting and testing changes to your ad text if you see click-through-rates decline.

* Too few ads. We have found that advertisers who have multiple ads running see higher click-through-rates than those with fewer ads. We recommend starting with a minimum of three to five ads (more is better!) to increase your visibility and allow you to experiment with ad performance levers (e.g., targeting parameters, ad copy, etc). Monitor the results each ad is driving, adjust your bids to favor those higher performing ads, and tweak your lower performing ads based upon what you’ve learned.

* Not carefully selecting targeting. Advertisers who do not select targeting with their goals in mind may not drive the results they need from their campaign. To ensure that your ads are shown to the right users, we need you to tell us a little bit about who you’re hoping to reach as you create your ad. For example, is it important that you reach only users in a certain geographic region? Or only users on a specific device? Or are you trying to reach as many users as possible for the lowest price possible? Be sure to carefully consider the targeting options available when creating your ads and select those most appropriate for your campaign objectives. Keep in mind that broader targeting selections will result in more traffic and more specific selections will result in less volume but higher qualified traffic.

* Not optimizing ads. Not optimizing your ads during a campaign may mean missed opportunities for maximized performance. Even the best ad may see varied performance over time as competition for desired inventory increases, ad copy grows stale, etc. We recommend actively monitoring ad performance. This will allow you to determine which ads are performing best, highlight changes in your ads’ performance and identify opportunities to optimize performance by testing levers such as ad text, targeting or bid amount. As you evaluate different ad text, targeting and bid amounts, you can easily track effectiveness of each by adding a unique ID onto the URL of your landing page for each ad. For example, if the URL for your landing page is http://www.yoursite.com/advertise you can add a unique ID in order to identify traffic from a specific ad such as http://www.yoursite.com/advertise?ad1

* Landing pages aren’t optimized for mobile. Sending traffic to your regular website will lead to a less than optimal experience for mobile visitors. To maximize conversions, you should ensure that your ads are sending mobile traffic, even from the iPhone, to a landing page created and optimized specifically for mobile. Make sure that your ads and landing page are consistent to reduce user confusion and decrease bounce rates. Finally ensure that the placement of your call to action, product, or service being promoted is easy to locate on the landing page. You may even consider including your call to action multiple times (e.g., both above and below the fold).

Don’t let this list of common mistakes give you pause; advertising with Mobile is easy and can be a very cost effective way to drive traffic to your mobile site and acquire new users. Taking into consideration the suggestions offered above will help you make your campaigns even more successful.

I’m sure you have come across hundreds of websites or been inundated by hundreds of ads proclaiming how you can get rich on the Net.

What is the truth ?

Well a very small minority (less than 1%) might do well while 99% are floundering. Moreover the latter are losing money by falling for get rich quick schemes, hype and scams.

I must warn you, if anyone says you can quickly earn a fortune then ignore them.

Social media marketing

Social media marketing

Social media marketing is a term that describes the act of using social networks, online communities, blogs, wikis or any other collaborative Internet form of media for marketing, sales, public relations and customer service. Common social media marketing tools include Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.

social media marketing

social media marketing

In the context of Internet marketing, social media refers to a collective group of web properties whose content is primarily published by users, not direct employees of the property (e.g. the vast majority of video on YouTube is published by non-YouTube employees).

Social media marketing has three important aspects:

  1. Creating buzz or news worthy events, videos, tweets, or even blog entries that attract attention, and become viral in nature. Buzz is the piece that makes social media marketing work. It replicates a message, not through purchase of an ad, but through user to user contact. The message does not necessarily have to be about the product; many successful viral campaigns have gathered steam through something funny or interesting, with the company logo or tagline included.
  2. Building ways that fans of a brand or company can promote it themselves in multiple online social media venues. Fan pages in Twitter, MySpace of Facebook are exactly this.
  3. It is conversational. Social media marketing is not fully controlled by the organization, it allows for user participation and dialogue. Potentially a badly designed social media marketing campaign can backfire on the organization that created it. That is the reason that SMM campaigns must fully engage and respect the users.

There are two quotes that I think reflect the mindset here in America when it comes to knowing and discussing politics:

Blaise Pascal:

You always admire what you really don’t understand.

and

Herbert V. Prochnow:

A great many people mistake opinions for thoughts.

With that being said I think our topic of debate is a good one and the lack of civilized language reflects poorly on the level of our culture socially.  I don’t think you would hear men like Martin Luther King Jr. or John Quincy Adams speak thus.

Lets elevate the level of this debate and think about the goal. After all I believe modern day politics are designed to keep us divided and unfocused as mental dependants so government can dictate and amass power. How much personal freedom do we really have compared to the freemen of colonial times? Let us stand and be counted as men and not as sheep, for in us is greatness. Nurture it don’t slay it. Peace and blessings.

Inspired by a posting on Face Book where the language and political bias caused the lack of intellectual debate.
