Banner Advertisement |  |

Though often misunderstood, ad tracking is at its core a process
for simply counting how many people respond to a particular advertisement.
Typically this tracking is usually done by tracking the number of
clicks or visitor actions. Ad tracking platforms & software vary but all monitor the traffic coming onto your site and the results or goals achieved from this traffic, and can mean the difference between making little to no money on your site, and making a killing. Ad analytics tracking software relate traffic directly to marketing activities and then translate those activities into measured results, giving you the ability to calculate a return on your advertising dollars spent. Ad tracking also monitors the clicks that you receive for all your advertizing campaigns, such as e-mail marketing, banner ads, affiliate programs, classified advertising, bulletin board, e-zine advertising, forum, links on other websites, pay-per-click ads, among others. Some tracking software also offers integration into legacy systems, sales management, customer profiling, and scheduling. With most service providers and software. It is possible to set up an unlimited number of tracking links or URLs in advertisements, such as on a web page, in an email, a pay per click ad, etc. Ad tracking helps save time and maximize results from your marketing expenditure by giving you access to the following information: • Number of visits generated by each of your ads But the real hidden advantage of ad tracking is targeted conversion improvement. Lot's of businesses just don't get this but if they did, their profits would skyrocket! For example let's say that your testing indicates that you are running three news letter ads, in three different newsletters. If you are tracking your sales, and where they came from you would have no way of knowing which of these newsletters pulled better for you and so you'd just keep paying to run your add in all three. However, if you track the sales, you might find that newsletter #1 generated ten sales, newsletter # 2 zero sales, and newsletter # 3, one sale. Now if you made a profit of $50 per sale and each newsletter ad cost $50.00, you're your ad newsletter #1 made you $500, your ad in newsletter #2 COST you money, and newsletter #3 you broke even on. With this information you can quickly see where your ad is working and where it's not. Using the example above you would be better served by taking the money you spent on newsletter # 2 and advertising elsewhere. Ad tracking gives you the power to know where your advertising is working, where you are making money and where it's being wasted. This allows you to focus your advertising budget on only the ad sources that are profitable. Here are some of the better tracking solutions on the market. The depth of features offered varies by price, but all will allow you to track your ads and make more money. http://analytics.google.com The bottom line is that if you are not testing and more importantly, tracking your advertising results, you could be leaving money on the table. Worse yet, you could be losing money. The take away here is do not even consider spending a dime on advertising until you have a tracking mechanism in place. Are you noticing huge crises in your traffic
sales less searches in advertising and search results The whole world is currently affected due to the crises and recession in each and every field. I have been noticing a fall down everywhere in my client's search engine's traffic. This recession has specially affected US and UK customers who are feeling this heat. They are avoiding unnecessary expenditures, fun times, tourism, spending money, keeping money in banks. Similarly, peoples are avoiding searching or shopping now a days. This is only a prediction but when I researched on it, I found
some interesting facts which I am sharing here: Rimm-Kaufman posted
data which is a summary showing people are avoiding searching for
products and services to purchase, leading to fewer sales, which
is also impacting the whole PPC campaigns and budgets. Yes! This
is all related to this global recession. Azhar Iqbal Market Research Analyst at A.I
Training and Consultancy I have enjoyed being a market research analyst at A.I Training & Consultancy as it always you backgrounds and fresh basics when you are in an environment which is your industry. Feeling those stages again which we have crossed one day, helping juniors find their way in an appropriate manner… Interestingly, most of the students when they join know nothing about “search engine optimization” and now they are well equipped with knowledge as sometimes I have no answer to their queries being untouched within the industry for a while :) Hmm, so the environment is fantastic… and the procedure of
training is pretty logical. There is so much “seo stuff”
available on the internet, but it goes over with newbie’s.
We train them step by step comprehensively, a clear cut concept
of things involved in the strategy. We train them think seo like
a race game, strategizing the plan, purpose in front, you have to
beat your competitor, follow right rules, continuous efforts...
Alarm!!! Relax!!! Alarm!!! Relax!!! It’s a whole mind game,
one who is out, is out! Training Overview Summary / Overview SEO

I will be back with more updates from the academy.
Business worldwide is affected with this recession. Marketing Managers and IT Managers are getting it hard to win the situation. They are looking for some magic! Their confidence is now on toes… “You are “Confident” when you know you will get positive results with any activity or decision”. This is a great way to conduct business, of course, but most of us know that living by these words is a difficult practice. Confidence is a complex quality that plays tricks on us, which is why we sometimes lack confidence when we shouldn’t, or become overconfident at times when we should show some humility. In short, maintaining confidence takes work. In good times: Confidence swells. We all know what happens when the economy hums: A lot of what businesspeople try works. AIG discovers a profitable market in insuring dicey securities. General Motors sells lots of gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles. Innovation and entrepreneurial flourish because the odds of success rise. And confidence climbs higher — often, as we can now see so clearly, dangerously high. “There’s evidence that in good times, suddenly everyone thinks that they’re better than everyone else,” says Don Moore, an associate professor of organizational behavior and theory at Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business. “On average, that’s just not true.” Our problem? We can’t easily view our achievements with anything approaching objectivity. In a study on confidence published last year, Moore gave participants 18 computer-based trivia quizzes and then asked them how well they did. Turns out, most were horrible at assessing their performances — about 90 percent of the subjects guessed wrong about how they did. Hubris and delusion, as you might imagine, are a dangerous combination. When things are going gangbusters, the truth is we get too full of ourselves. Our confidence has us looking at our businesses through rose-colored lenses. When business is OK but unspectacular, we get conservative. We lean on practices that served us well during the earlier boom. Our confidence lies in the fact that we know what works, and we stick with it. In downturns: Confidence evaporates. Confidence experts say that in these stressful times, leaders need to be level-headed and courageous. Be brutally honest with yourself and others, and get comfortable with making changes and even going against the grain. Marriott, for instance, recently took what could be viewed as a leap of faith when it agreed to buy West Virginia’s iconic and bankrupt Greenbrier resort. In the long run, the hotel’s estimated $130 million price tag could very well represent a bargain. “This is a time to do things even if you don’t want to do them,” says Marina Gorbis, who runs the Institute for the Future, a Silicon Valley think tank. “This is a time for heroic actions.” But that confidence can lead us astray again, as we adopt the false belief that experience can replace effort. Veteran cops do this: Moore cites well-known research in which seasoned policemen frequently erred in determining whether or not suspects were telling the truth. The related study, titled “Who Can Catch a Liar,” proves that few folks really can. Experience, it turns out, counts for little. “If I teach the same class for 10 years and start failing to prepare, then my performance suffers,” Moore says. “You have to find that sweet spot: sufficient poise to work with what you’ve already got, and sufficient anxiety to invest time and energy into your work.” In stable times: Overconfidence dictates You have to look at the proverbial glass as half-full. “These days, I bet there are a lot of managers imagining that they’re not doing well, and that others are doing better,” says Moore. “On average? That’s untrue.” Again, Moore says that confidence — really, the lack thereof — is misleading, slightly out of whack with reality. Yes, the national unemployment rate is a sobering 8.5 percent, but that means the employment rate is still 91.5 percent. Real estate is cheap, certainly compared with a few years ago, when those looking for homes bemoaned the sky-high prices. Weaker businesses are ripe for acquisition. Here’s where we are now. The economy has tanked. People are paying off mortgages worth far more than their homes; folks are out of work. Those still on the job, including company management, walk around office hallways with their heads down, in part because they fear becoming the next casualty. DON’T START WITH FEAR OF FAILURE Taare Zameen Par! An Amir Khan bollywood movie… It has got an excellent approach for those who always posses a fear of failure inside them. The next day when I have finished the movie i remembered my old days of SEO… When I was a very newbie and I had huge fear of failure inside me! Huh.. In the same week I received a call from my trainee SEO. He was very stressed and tensed with the poor SEO results he’s had. I thought to research a little and post about those who have fear of failure inside them before even they begin. Failure! What do you feel when you think about failure? Inadequate? Unworthy? Unlovable? It is so sad that you might have learned to link failure to your value as a person. Most people who are successful in their work and their relationships have experienced many failures along their road to success. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric bulb, is often quoted regarding failure: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." "Many of life's failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." "Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure." If Edison has been afraid of failure, or believed that failure meant he was inadequate, he would never have invented the light bulb! In order to achieve success in any area of your life, you need to redefine failure. Instead of seeing failure as an indication of your inadequacy or lack of worth, you need to see failure as a stepping-stone to success. Some of the most financially successful people experienced repeated failures. * Walt Disney was a high school drop out who suffered bankruptcy and repeated financial and business disasters. * Milton Hershey, chocolate maker and founder of the famous Hershey Foods Corp., found success only after filing for bankruptcy for his first four candy companies. * Henry Ford filed for bankruptcy for the first car company he started. He didn't succeed until he started his third company, Ford Motor Company. * After P.T. Barnum, American showman, went bankrupt, he joined forces with circus operator James A. Bailey to found Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. * Quaker Oats went bankrupt three times, as did Wrigley from Wrigley's Gum. Pepsi-Cola went bankrupt twice. Other famous companies that also went bankrupt are Birds Eye Frozen Foods, Borden's,? and Aunt Jemima. * Albert Einstein did poorly in elementary school, and he failed his first college entrance exam at Zurich Polytechnic. * Winston Churchill had a lifetime of defeats and setbacks before becoming prime minister of England at age 62. All of his greatest accomplishments and contributions came when he was a senior citizen. * Sir Laurence Olivier, one of the greatest actors of the 20th century, tripped over the door sill and fell headfirst into the floodlights the very first time he had ever set foot on the professional stage! * Woody Allen flunked motion picture production at New York University and the City College of New York and failed English at N.Y.U. * Astronaut Ed Gibson flunked first and fourth grades. * Lucille Ball was once dismissed from drama school for being too quiet and shy. (From http://www.joesabah.com/dseibert/008.htm) If these successful people had been afraid of failure, they would never have offered the world their talents. They were able to go on to success because they saw failure as a learning opportunity rather than as an indication of their inadequacy. Are you ready to change your concept of failure? Are you ready to let go of worrying about what failure says about you and just learn from it? Are you ready to free your soul to do what you really want to do? If the fear of failure is stopping you from doing what you really want to do, I want to encourage you to change your concept of failure. I want to encourage you to let go of your old way of seeing failure and start to envision failures as learning opportunities on the way to success. Just as Thomas Edison did, I encourage you to see every failure as a step forward! MagNag Launched - Azhar Iqbal Partners with

We have experienced and specialized guys working on ideas every time… Please contact MagNag Technologies at more@magnag.com Make Your Website a Lead Generating Machine Everybody knows one-sided relationships never work. The same is
true with websites. If a website is focused entirely upon you, you
will lose any visitors that may stumble across it. On the other
hand, a website done correctly (one that focuses on the visitor)
can easily become a lead generation machine! When designing your
website, think about these four ideas: Oct. 27 marks the 15th anniversary of the industry's first banner display ads, which appeared on Hotwired.com. To the many of you reading this who weren't in the business back then, that's not a typo; I'm not referring to www.HotWire.com, the travel site, but HotWired -- the first commercial digital magazine on the web and the offshoot of Wired magazine. Its launch in 1994 was not without debate internally as to whether the ad units offered to the advertiser community should be simple text links or graphical ad banner units. Graphical ad display banners won out and the rest is history. And take a look at the hilarious come-on AT&T used to generate a click-through: "Have you ever clicked your mouse right HERE? You will!" The reaction ran from enthusiastic to somewhat leery. MCI, as one
would expect, was truly supportive of our proactive initiative.
Their corporate culture encouraged exploration. Volvo, on the other
hand, understood the value of our experimenting with the new medium,
but did not want to push/urge any interaction with the consumer.
They didn't know what to expect, did not know how to handle responses
and was concerned legal implications were involved. As a result,
you see the first Volvo ad banner was nothing more than the Volvo
logo and photo of an auto. No call to action or direction to click
was to be incorporated into the Volvo banner. In fact, if someone
clicked on that banner in October of 1994, it would take them to
a simple questionnaire that could be emailed by the consumer on
what kind of Volvo they might be interested in. Looking back at the birth of this industry and the first simple graphical banners, I am still amazed at how much has been achieved in the first 15 years. That said, I anxiously await the further advancements coming our way in terms of new ad technologies, ad forms and ad measurement capabilities (e.g. attribution modeling). The issues surrounding display banners and online brand measurement are many and have been well chronicled (see the recent special eMarketer report entitled The Online Brand Measurement: Connecting Dots for example). Research suggests we have a long road ahead in terms of measurement -- and I don't disagree; however, I'm not convinced we're that far off. I don't believe there will ever be a "silver bullet" to solve all of our problems, as our industry is constantly evolving, becoming more complex and proving to be a moving target. But all that said, from what we have learned through the use of fundamental building blocks of acquired knowledge, industry and case studies, the use of traditional media metrics, the use of existing best measurement practices for digital and a quest to continually "test and learn," we will ultimately be successful. Has any one item in our industry been encased with so much debate -- at times even disdain -- as to its true value, role and contribution to marketing communications from its inception in 1994 to this day? Yet the display banner is the impetus to the creation of the online advertising category that will reach beyond $24 billion in 2009, according to eMarketer. Perhaps more important, no other development since has advanced advertising measurement, effectiveness and accountability than the display banner. So on Oct. 27, I hope you will join me in toasting the birthday of the banner display ad -- whether you are a "cup is half-empty" or "cup is half-full" type of person. Some days I love the business and others day... well, not so much... but I have to admit: it's been an unbelievable 15 years. I leave you with a challenge... Can you guess the two-word copy from one of the original banner ads that generated 78% click-through rate? I look forward to your answers.
