A Brief History Of Online Advertising: We do love internet, we cannot imagine our lives without it nowadays. And internet for us common users consists of websites, where we can read news play games, watch videos, check email and do other innumerable things.

History of Online Advertising – The First Banner Ad (1994)

Have you ever clicked you mouse right here? You will!

Once in the beginning of 1990-ies people understood that this wonderful tool is not temporary and is going to live and grow, naturally some bright minds thought of advertising on it. And it did happen in 1994. It is a solemn date for banner ads since on October 27, 1994 the world’s first ever banner ad appeared on HotWired, the first commercial magazine. Actually it was the day the magazine itself started, so it just opened with the banner on it already. 

The ad read “Have you ever clicked you mouse right here? You will”.

The fonts were of multi colors and it had 44 percent clickthrough rate, an unbelievable number for today. The banner was order by AT&T who paid 30 thousand dollars for it to appear on HotWired for three months. In 1995 an agency called WebConnect started to offer targeted ad placement using some information about the users. It also used CustomView tool, which monitored how many times the same user saw the ad and changed it to another one to prevent the so called banner fatigue.

History Of Online Advertising – DART (1996)

In 1996 a company called DoubleClick offered its clients a new service DART – Dynamic Advertising Reporting and Targeting. This tool enabled advertisers to see how their ads were performing, how many times they were seen and clicked and that eventually improved ROI. A new costing impression appeared – Cost Per Impression (CPI).

History Of Online Advertising – The First Pop Ups (1996)

In 1997 Ethan Zuckerman created a method to enable pop ups appeared on websites. Initial high hopes turned to negative ones, since the users were outraged with what seemed to be infringement on their privacy. From 2000 nearly all known browser came out with some sort of pop-up blocker.

History Of Online Advertising – PPC (1999)

In 1999 GoTo.com offered the first ever pay for ad placement search engine service. Pay for ad placement soon became pay per click.

History Of Online Advertising –  Targeted Ads (2006)

In 2006 with the appearance of social media, a revolution in targeted ads was already a fact. Such websites as Facebook accumulated huge date on its users and thus pioneered a new era of non aggressive but hyper targeted ads.

2010 – Present

Advertisers make text, video, rich media ads for media sites. The concept of native advertising is born. Meanwhile, ad blocking gets more and more popular and developed, which poses a real threat to the advertising world. Serious research is underway now to make ads less visible and more acceptable.

What do you usually do when you see a banner ad? Do you click on it, or curse its inventor? But first we should ask how it is that we recognize it is a banner ad, and not something else. It is because this marketing tool appeared long ago, in autumn 1994, so enough time has passed to engrave its name forever in users’ minds.

Banner ads are everywhere in the web…

Banner ads are everywhere in the web. They can be of any size, form, intention and behavior. They can be irritating, funny, annoying and efficient: all depends on how you view them. One thing is certain that they are a part of multi million marketing games all around the world and they help generate income.

Because of great competition banner ads nowadays must be very creative and interesting. The tendency currently is to make interactive banners where the users can also participate in some process and thus get engaged and, why not, follow the link the banner contains.

So by nature banners have two functions:

1. Firstly they show some content, which in itself is an advertisement;
2. secondly they can transfer the user to the desired destination, of course if the user clicks on the banner.

And banners do want to be clicked. That’s why it was very customary for some banners in old times to contain a message like Click me, or you can’t click me which thus psychologically affected the users to click on the banner, something they otherwise hardly would do.

So the idea is that in order to be effective, banner creators must have some knowledge of psychology, and they do have usually. Nowadays they are many online banner creation websites and downloadable software through which making an ad banner became a matter of minutes. No special knowledge of graphics is needed as everything is made automatically.

Because the banners get hardly more attention than just a second glimpse, they need to be so catchy to gain the attention right away, that is not an easy task but professionals know how to do it. We know how to do it. So if you need a professionally made ad banner or a campaign, trust that work to us, we shall make it deliver what you need.

How digital advertising has changed the world? It fact it did already change it but it continues to do so, the process has not stopped and there are no prospects it will ever stop. If we try to summarize the impact of digital advertising on the world of user experience and marketing, then there is only one thing to be said: the digital advertising did revolutionize the advertising world.

And it happened because the digital advertising had at its disposal all the advantages that the IT had. If before only the rich companies could afford reaching so many people in a particular country by paying enormous sums, now even small companies can advertise in so many digital platforms very cheap or even altogether for free and at the same time reach millions of people globally.

Digital advertising brought closer both the users and marketers at a global stage…

Digital Advertising – The Initial Level

If at the very initial primitive level digital advertising meant placing pre-made banner ads at fixed location in the website, now there are special programs, which will determine which ads go where, in what quantity, in what form, at what time, at what rates, etc.

This is how programmatic advertising appeared. And that’s not all, special software will analyze how the ads are doing, how is their performance, what to change and tune up.

Digital Advertising – Target Advertising

Another revolutionary invention is the targeted advertising. Over time users understood that the web actually gathers information from them: every time we visit a website, navigate through its pages, click on links, make purchases, fill registration forms, put likes or post comments on social media, all is taken and analyzed correspondingly through small software called cookies.

Thus we are shown such ads on a specific website, which we may be interested in to follow.  If for example two people visit the same website at the same time in different locations, they may see completely different advertising content.

At the same time it should be noted that such a profound spreading of total advertising campaigns in all platforms and in all available forms has brought a negative side to it. In fact, it gave birth to what is called ad blindness, where the users do not see or just ignore ads. The appearing of ad blockers has seriously damaged the digital ad business and is now a major concern.

Such giants as Google and Apple are doing serious research over it and how the ads will perform in the future. The issue of user privacy versus user experience is at stake. It was obvious from the beginning but now is more than evident that the users or consumers or web people, whatever we call them, cannot simply stand intrusion into their personal domains.

And so these two companies are now leading the digital marketing world step by step into another revolutionary change, which will first of all respect the user, his choice and his experience. And this brings hopes that digital advertising will not die, but will be transformed into a new form, a new experience, something, which we may now not even imagine.

5 Big Things Marketers Need To Do In 2017.  It is 2017 and a very good start for new things so there are some interesting things that marketers have to start doing.

Big things number #1

Marketers should start using their data for something other than their reports.

It is not a secret that data is very important for marketers and a lot of companies are investing in analytical tools to get an idea what customer experience is like.

But it is very important that the companies start doing something else with all those numbers. They need to have a meeting once a month to talk about what those numbers are saying and predicting about the future campaigns. After discussing that, they need to start thinking and coming up with new tactics that will be based on their data.

Big things number #2:

Start creating videos that people want to watch! 

All these years have shown that people are enthusiastic about videos and that the videos are the future of marketing itself. The problem of today’s world is that not a lot of companies have actually figured out what people really want to watch. The thing is it seems that it all something to be shown off in YouTube.

Big things number #3:

Marketers should build an Instagram strategy

The thing is that nowadays Instagram is very popular and by saying that we mean VERY popular. In 2017 marketers should think of some ways to fit Instagram content into their marketing strategies. Using that will give them more audience and more clients in the future.

Big things number #4:

Marketers should talk to Sales

There are a lot of companies whose marketing is head-down. There is almost no communication between marketing and sales, the success of the clients and the product itself.

Sales is very important when it comes to handing content to prospects. Marketing in 2017 should begin meeting on a regular basis with sales to be sure that everything is perfect. If not, there is a high risk that you will create message and content that is going unused.

Big things number #5:

Marketers need to do everything to make social media interesting

It is very important that in 2017 companies start doing something that not a lot are doing. They should poke fun. This can be done through social media: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. People are on there the whole day. That attracts attention and, why not, some loyalty. Social media gives companies the opportunity to create their personality. Not a lot of people do that so the customers are interested when something like that happens. Marketers need to take their message and think how they could turn it into social-friendly material. They should join conversation, share their knowledge and start interacting.

In 2017 the marketers need to weigh the success and the failure of the previous year before they start doing something else. It is very important not to forget what was working before, because sometimes people are so concerned about some New Big things that they forget what was successful.

2017 is time to optimize.

Header Bidding is a brand-new approach to website advertising that helps publishers choose the best price for available ad spaces through auction. Different demand sources that “compete” for the same inventory hold the auction.

You’ll ask – why should the publishers implement Header Bidding?

The answer is as easy as 1+1. In this way the publishers are able to get more money and have additional income.
The usual ad server such as Google’s DoubleClick for Publishers selects its buyers based on the rankings through the sequence which is the “waterfall” problem that Header Bidding removes.

When there is an available space on the publisher’s website, Google’s DoubleClick for Publishers offers the inventory to the direct-sold ads and if a place is still available, then it offers the inventory to the top-ranked ad exchange.

Although the ranking is based on such factors as the quantity that a certain ad exchange buys, high rankings not always create the highest revenues. The publisher might not be aware of higher rates that the new supplies offer because of the “waterfall” effect.

So, the publishers suffer considerable losses because of this sequential process.

But which are the advantages of the Header Bidding? 

In contrary to the above-mentioned things, Header Bidding allows several demand sources with various histories and rankings to make a bid for the same inventory at the same time. The auction is held not only for the impressions that are left after the direct sale, but for all the available ones. This bidding process allows more demand sources to buy the place and the publishers can freely choose which bid is more beneficial for them. According to estimates, just one bid source is able to increase the publisher’s income at least by 10 percent. The advantages of this program are proven by the fact that 150,000 publishers are willing to install Header Bidding per day.

Even though the answer to the question why should the publishers implement Header Bidding is as easy as 1+1, the implementation and utilization process is quite complicated one. Wrong installation, management and monitoring can cause such a problem as latency. That is the least thing that the website owners want. Success and additional income come with the right monitoring.
