5 Basis Points to Measure Online Advertising
There are five basic points to measure advertising on the Internet:
1.Visitor.
2.Visit.
3.Page views.
4.Ad seen.
5.Click.
1 . A visitor is someone who visits or going to a website. The value of a visitor increases for the advertiser when you get to gather information about him (name, age, zip code, frequency of visits, etc …).
2 . A visit is the act of a visitor requests pages from the same site for approximately 30 minutes. Thus, if while reviewing a site, the connection for 45 minutes, your next web page you requested it will be told, probably as another visit. The time limit of one visit becomes increasingly important when the content is close to real time. For example, I often visit the NASDAQ website, twice within one hour to check for updates on the market. Therefore, NASDAQ must have a time limit set to visit more National Geographic, for example. The notion of evidence against the views of repeat visits is related to the time limitations of access. When you visit a site, you are trying, therefore, is a trial visit. Each subsequent visit is a visit repeatedly. Different advertisers place different values on repeat visitors due to the assumption that people are burning with the banners. If a visitor does not act on a banner after four visits, and it will not ever.
3 . A pageview is the entire contents of a page viewed by visitors. This equates to a viewer watching a television show. You have no guarantees that you are paying attention, but it is a reasonable assumption that if someone requests that page, the look. In terms of measurement, there are a number of technical issues related to a visitor who does not receive the entire page, or if there are no technical problems during the download, if you have your browser enabled to receive text-only and ignore the graphics, If you are tired of waiting to download the entire page, or if the page was served from the cache on your computer or proxy server.
4 . A ad views is when a visitor is viewing an ad. Online ads tend to be interspersed on the pages. Many have more than one listing, so the number of ad views is a site, is usually much higher than the number of pages viewed. All technical issues that influence whether or not downloading a page, as described in the previous paragraph are also valid for this.
5 . Finally, A click is when a visitor click the mouse on an ad. A click usually sends the visitor to another page or another web-site. The clicks are significant for advertisers because visitors are transported to the advertiser’s website click on the ad.
Conclusion
The measures of advertising online is a very hot topic, because the site promises to be the most measurable marketing tool and direct. The challenge is that technology, such as exists today, does not provide a reliable measurement for marketing professionals and advertising, unless the visitor is obliged to register. Obviously, forcing register does not bring good omens with defenders of privacy on the net. Therefore, industry groups like the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) and Casio (Coalition for Advertiser Supported Information and Entertainment), are trying to standardize the existing terminology and methodology of measurement, and each can make the final comparisons between web – sites and online campaigns. I hope that with continued use of the Web as a vehicle for marketing, professional marketing and advertising will be so used to the measures required for this medium as they are to “share” system (Nielsen) on TV.
At the same time, user expectations will vary, making it is easy to ask for your personal information in exchange for access to content and experience that can not get otherwise. Finally, software developers continue to increase the sharing of information between the user (or workstation) and the web server. The catalyst for this improvement is, as always, money.
