Will the iPad Redefine Online Ad Metrics?

An online visitor might spend 2.1 minutes per month at Vanityfair.com and 3.8 minutes per month at GQ.com, according to comScore. On those magazines' iPad apps, though, he or she will 'thumb' through the 'pages' for a leisurely 60 minutes, according to Conde Nast (via the Associated Press). Digital publishing platform Zinio - which publishes digital editions for Harper's Bazaar and Car and Driv  [...]

What iAd Won't Do For Marketers

For online marketers, there is a lot to like about Apple's mobile ad platform, the iAd: an ad that stays inside the app doesn’t force the consumer to choose between the app or leaving the app to satisfy a passing curiosity about an ad (and guess who usually wins in that scenario). Interactive and video content ads will be delivered to users without them ever leaving the app; users can simply close out the ad in order to return to using the app they were engaged with. A Nike ad, for example  [...]

Developers Create New Opps for iPad Advertisers

Yahoo is working on a new advertising model for the iPad and other tablets which is expected to give advertisers support for interactive product placement similar to that seen in TV and movies, reports MediaPost.

CBS, ABC to Stream Content to iPad; Advertisers Still Ponder Lack of Flash

CBS and ABC have inked deals with Apple to stream TV shows free of charge to users of the iPad, complete with commercial breaks - similar to the way they stream on the networks' own websites. CBS will stream shows through the iPad's Web browser, while ABC will stream shows via an iPad application, reports the Wall Street Journal. Allowing for streaming video directly on the iPad allows users to bypass  [...]

DOOH Gets Creative With Bathroom Mirrors, Airsick Bags

With or Without the FTC, the Mobile Ad Market Will Be Unrecognizable in Five Years

Right now the mobile ad market is tiny - and largely dominated by Apple's apps. Just ask Google, which has protested the anti-trust inquiries into its proposed $750 million acquisition of AdMob. Its main argument has been the market is too small and too fragmented for any one firm to dominate.  But will Google’s entry into the space change that? The Federal Trade Commission is showing signs that it thinks so - regulators there are s  [...]

A Business Case for Live Streaming the Olympics

NBC Sports will be streaming more than 400 hours of live event coverage on NBCOlympics.com during the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games, along with more than 1,000 hours of full-event replays of all 15 sports. That is about 2,000 hours less than it could deliver if it wanted to, according to Paid Content. The less-than-robust delivery of streaming content is because  [...]

Bandwidth-Thirsty Developing World Poses Threat to Web's Bottom Line

Photo-sharing sites, social networks, and video distributors (e.g., Flickr, Facebook, YouTube) are booming in developing nations like Turkey, India, and Brazil - but struggling to turn a profit from online advertising alone.

ABC: Streaming Vid Viewers Can Swallow More Ads than We Give 'Em

Defying current conventions surrounding advertising on professional streaming video, ABC.com is promoting research that shows online viewers will tolerate popular shows -- like Grey's Anatomy -- with ads from multiple sponsors. At present, TV-to-web shows streamed on sites like ABC.com, Hulu.com, CBS.com or NBC.com are supported by one sponsor, whose ads appear in :15 or :30 breaks throughout the episode. The ads cannot be skipped. Logic follows that if the breaks are short, there is little i  [...]

GOOG Rallies in Favor of 'Parked' Domain Ads

Google has begun selling its AdSense for Domains product to US-based publishers. The program -- formerly known as Domain Park -- enables advertisers to embed ads on "parked domains," -- URLs that have been purchased but for which a website hasn't yet been made. Ads on parked automative-related domains convert at twice the rate as ads on search engines, according to a   [...]
