Unscrolled Ads translates to ads that are the equivalent to "above the fold" of newspapers. This post is in reference to our last class meeting. I thought it was interesting to learn about the branding exercise. If done truthfully, a lot can be said about the effectiveness of marketing/advertisement on a deeper level. Why would I say Chevy when in fact I just bought a Ford. I am not convinced, however, that there is a causal connection. Did I say Chevy because their ad campain is more effective than Ford? Perhaps, but I doubt it.

I can't believe ads were bought totaling 5 billion in a year.

You can "click through" banner ads whereas you cannot in any other type of advertisement. But, what actually gets more exposure?

Analytics can allow you to fetch more money in ads because you learn about all sorts of statistical data. Sitemeter is a good informative site. One valuable piece of information is knowledge of what screen resolution people are viewing. You want to get into the one where the highest percentage is using.

This is and will be a post on the go in the current class, the last class for us, and this class as it is, ending today. I am glad to finish it out as a 1.5 unit class. I learned some valuable, practical skills in the online marketing arena. Today we discussed banners/display ads and analytics. $600.00 is the cheapest price for an ad according to the Chicago Reader. Some companies, however, will not tell you the price so as to get you to inquire within. Purchasing "Run of Site" will get your ad on every page if the page permits. Key points for my knowledge are targeting, demographics, making money with video, and most intriguing, affiliate marketing via linking with Amazon. Display ads can be done creatively through the video production.

Ads4ads is similar to adbrite in that they sell ads.
Time vs. Money
Interactive ads allow you to pariticipate and some talk.
R.O.I. is return on investment

This post enhanced the learning process.

This post is what I thought of as a result of our third class lecture when you told us to expose something. I would like to expose how the media and advertisement is consistently slightly deceitful. A lot is obvious, i.e. pictures of food magnified or whenever you see the word "free" when the actuality therein is borderline opposite. The only thing free to free online tax return is getting the information that you are entitled to money back. If you actually want the money back you will have to pay. Another example is when you see an infomercial of a person grating a garden with a new tool with such ease. The truth is that the ground was prepared with a better tool and then made to appear as if it had been untouched. So when the refined, specialty item they have to sell does the job effortlessly, the same could be done with your hands-without gloves. boldprint.com

This is a post to in reference to our class meeting on May 7. We were discussing affiliate marketing and I became, for the first time really, enlightened/fascinated with what is possible in online earning. You presented us with the T-shirt company that provides blank canvasses for the purpose of creative prints for sale at your rate of mark-up. Here is my idea of my own similar biz: BLANKANVAS.COM
