Phorm/Google Behavioral Ad Targeting - Based on Your Browsing Data
»

Some larger online publishers are facing declining display ads with a bold strategy: bigger, louder, and more obnoxious ad units. AdWeek reports:
  • The fixed panel, a 336-by-860-pixel banner that is wider than the standard skyscraper and follows users as they scroll down the page.
  • The XXL box, a 468-by-648-pixel unit that can expand with video.
  • The pushdown, a 970-by-418-pixel placement that takes up over half of the page before rolling up.

We recently added a slideup and a popup to the site here, but you should be able to click them once and not see them again (at least until you clear cookies), and at least they are marketing our own site.
But the idea of making larger and more obnoxious ad units some sort of standard for cross-selling seems to be against what is working. Most of Google's ad revenues come from tiny text ads that are relevant to user demand. One of the best ways to have relevant ads is to create what users want and sell it. If they are going to spend that many pixels on the ads, rather than making bigger ad units the publishers should use the content area to sell and add premium services to their sites and start selling content.

  • Google Results - All Or Nothing
    Google has a remarkable aspect to its algo these days. That’s the phenomena where a website either ranks for terms or it doesn’t. And we’re not talking about hardcore competitive terms, either. For lack of a better term, it looks like “Trustrank” comes into play when a website loses it’s rankings. First you need to check a few things. 1) Do you still have pages indexed in Google? If not, you’re likely banned. If the site command shows nothing,...

A few minutes after this sales call I got a call that started out similarly with someone mispronouncing my name as they...

  • SEO 2009 - Less Is More
    After experimenting with several SEO techniques in 2009, I’m unquestionably feeling that “less is more” when it comes to what techniques to use. In the past, fairly heavy handed SEO used to do a great job to land rankings, but Google has developed a more subtle algo as the years have rolled on. If you try to “force-feed” Google, you very well might choke as a result. On-page optimization along with gaining TrustRank work well. Of course these terms are rather...
