Internet Advertising Veering Towards Simplicity over Hype



Internet Advertising, when it started, was loud in approach and strove to drive its purpose on hype and urgency. The high on promises and low on intention banners soon fell to the deaf years of the internet users. The users became more and more interested and involved in the content rather than the hype attempted by the ads. Elements like internet fraud also played a part as they too focused on promises that seem straight out of a fiction novel. The netizens soon realized that if it is too good to be true, then it is most probably not true. Internet Advertising took the remedial measurements and changed the attitude of the ads. Internet Ads are becoming simpler in their presentation, looking to engage the user rather than capture him with hype.

The most appropriate examples of this change are the PPC Ads. Mostly restricted to a couple of lines, PPCs are quite straightforward in their announcement. The banners too toned down quite a bit in their announcements and look to engage the reader with the information in the content rather than create hype around the product or service. Seo Experts believe that this trend will continue in 2014 and will be fueled by the discussion forums.

Thus, one of the things that internet users can expect in 2014 is engaging and enriching content as Internet Advertising Agencies will compete in providing extensive social media coverage to their clients. Maintaining a good Online Reputation will become an important key deliverable of agencies providing Internet Advertising Services.

In Mobile Advertising, “To Entice” or “To Provoke” is the Question



An important question in Mobile Advertising, like any form of Advertising, concerns the tone of the pitch being made for the product. Some say that an advertisement should be more informative so that the ones who actually need the product or service would be benefited. That saying, just like many other traits of advertising, belongs to a past age now. The modern world of advertising has come to know and accept methods like “ambush advertising” where masked attacks are launched at the competitors. Mobile Advertising has also seen a change in trend and the Mobile Banners that once enticed at the most, now also attempt to provoke the user into feeling shame, guilty or threatened.

How many of you have encountered pop up banners saying something like, “Beware!! 33 viruses detected in your mobile!!”? Did you stop to notice that this happened only when you performed certain actions like opening an application? No? You became so concerned that you stopped noticing anything else. The banner has then fulfilled its primary task. If you have clicked on the same, its purpose has been fulfilled. This is the latest in the line of Mobile Ads that provoke a reaction in the viewer that would lead him to click on the link to the website of the advertiser. This style stands in difference from the traditional Web Banners where the attempts that are made are to entice the user with ad copies like “Find the cheapest mobile phones here”.

Thus, the most important question for Mobile Advertising Agencies right now is whether to entice or to provoke.

Combine Banner Advertising and PPC for Optimized Results



Some in the industry of Internet Advertising believe that if one invests in PPC, there is no requirement for Banner Advertisements. However, apart from the fact that Banner Ads are still important as a low cost method of targeting a wide viewership, they can also be used to boost the PPCs. It has been found that many users search for a product or service after seeing a Web Banner for the same. In such cases, the traffic for the PPC is created by the Banner Ad.

It is ideal for a new launch to initiate the online promotions through the Banners first. Unlike the PPCs, Banners reach a large number of users. Since they prove lower in cost than the PPCs, it is a good way to introduce the product or service. Once the desired levels of visibility have been attained, investments in PPC can be made. Many Internet Advertising Agencies, offering Banner Advertising Services, also recommend running both of them at the same time. The Web Banners would then attract traffic from other relevant sites and the PPCs would come into play once the user has shifted into the buying mode.
