Online advertising spending grows exponentially. According to a research made by eMarketer, in 2005. advertising spending in USA will be more than $10 billion dollars for the first time. They predict that it will reach $12.9 billion dollars! This is really great especially if we know that in 2002. advertising was $6 billion dollars. Three years is not so long time, but when it comes to the Internet it is.

There are many sites that have some ads. Usually they are smaller or larger animated images called banners. Online advertising is so oversaturated that many studies show that people developed ability to screen out ads. The first banner was published on HotWired web site in 1994. It is a famous banner with text: “Have you ever clicked your mouse right HERE? YOU WILL!”

At the beginning banners had decent click-thru rates, sometimes even 10%. Today, usually CTR is between 0.1-0.3% even lower because of banner saturation.

Marketers needed new online advertising models so they started making ads using Flash.

Surviving a Business Project
In a perfect world, any business team assembled to take on a project would be a competent group of professionals who seamlessly act as one entity. In the real world, it’s a bit different. A good team tends to be made up of strong, creative, energetic and insightful members. That‘s the perfect recipe for egos, personalities and methods to clash. People tend to act in their own best interests and play the blame game regardless of the outcome. Here are some ideas that will help you and your team keep their eyes on the prize:1. Keep A LogKeeping a daily log will help you maintain contact with sources that prove valuable, learn from mistakes and develop a winning methodology. When it comes to the good, take note of that great idea, suggestion, shortcut or contact that helped bring it all home.

Is Your Website Effectively Marketing Your Business?
Every fall, I evaluate Doubet Consulting's website, www.doubetllc.com, to ensure that we are still providing information about our services in the most efficient manner. Businesses have their own websites for many reasons. For Doubet, we created our website to establish a greater presence on the Internet, service our clients and potential prospects more effectively, answer questions about our firm, as well as heighten public interest. All of our goals were to make Doubet Consulting a dominant practice.The criteria I have for evaluating our website is the same each year, but the results are often different. As the firm has grown, so has our need to educate those who visit online. Because we now serve clients throughout the country (and we hope, soon, the world), it is important to highlight different aspects of our business.The 7 criteria I use to ensure that Doubet is putting its best foot forward on the Web are as follows:1.

Do Your Clients Send You Gifts?
I'm lucky enough to have really great clients. You see, not content with happily paying me thousands of dollars for my products, seminars and other services, they also send me gifts of wine, books and dvds.Can you say the same about your clients? If not . . .read on.There are some events which are a pearl beyond price. One of them is when the local supermarket truck arrives unexpectedly and delivers three cases of wine or the mailman comes with a very large parcel. Far beyond the intrinsic value of the gifts themselves is the warm buzz you get from this most sincere and unsolicited form of feedback from your clients. At last, proof positive you're doing something right!If you are still working your way up to that level of approbation, here's some ideas to help you.When you have a web site, you will have customers and prospective customers at various stages of development.

Public Relations' 8 Fix Factors
I say to business, non-profit and association managers, a key part of your job description is – or should be – do everything you can to help your organization’s public relations effort as it strives to persuade important outside stakeholders to your way of thinking. Especially when it’s YOUR PR program that is tasked to move those stakeholders to behaviors that lead to the success of YOUR department or division.Which is why I suggest that business, non-profit and association managers embrace what I call PR’s 8 fix factors, those steps necessary to prepare their public relations operation for the battles certain to lie ahead.The fix factors are based on this fundamental premise: People act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the very peo

Google made a revolution in online advertising introducing the contextual advertising models in their services AdWords and AdSense. AdWords is based on a model that advertisers can choose desired keywords so every time someone makes a search on Google with their selected keyword their ad will appear on Google side bar or on the top of search results. This is good because many people don’t see them like advertising, they see them as search results, and therefore, CTR is higher. It is Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising so that advertiser only pays when someone clicked on their ad. AdSense, on the other hand, allows publishers that they ads appear like texts only on relevant web sites that have similar target audience like their business. Google AdSense is great for web site owners, too, because they can monetize their web site traffic. Recently, it became possible to have Google ads in RSS. This is very useful for bloggers.

Another good choice for PPC advertising is using services like Overture and AdBrite. Overture allows keyword bidding and many popular sites like Yahoo! and MSN use Overture service for their sponsored search results. AdBrite allows you to choose web sites on which you want to advertise.

We have listed several useful free services that will help you in making your next successful PPC campaign.
