[edit] Future of Online Advertising

In a Google Talk Conference I watched in YouTube, a guy whose name I can't recall at this very moment and who was the inventor of the technology behind the protocols that we use for the internet; explained how advertising in the future might take a new form. For example, he explained how he believes that one of the major roles in advertising will be the fact that people will be able to download video faster than they watch it. He explained how this can be used as an advantage for advertisers. For example, there is a movie where you can see a bunch of very cool looking computers. He explained that by either hovering the pointer or maybe just clicking you could get information regarding that computer or its brand, who in fact would be a sponsor of such movie. Of course that kind of advertising is really in its infancy, but I think this is something worth adding to this article. Camilo Sanchez (talk) 17:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

==Input requested: related document http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Button_gallery.png Insert a picture gallerybeing developed== Hi, I'm trying to get feedback on an "interactive marketing primer" that I'm developing as posts at my blog (econometra com). If anyone watching this page feels like going there and leaving some feedback, it'd be much appreciated. My idea is to assemble the posts into a document after collecting corrections / clarifications / comments, then link to it from here. Hopefully this is consistent with Wikipedia norms (?). Anyway, thanks in advance for any and all help. --Adam Marsh 02:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major Changes

In my last edit I greatly expanded this article, though I do not think I brought it up to acceptable standards. The introduction needs work. Also, I am not sure what to do with all the jargon terms. They are certainly relevant, but not very helpful in a long list of acronyms. Perhaps we can add a business section and explain these terms. Whatever is uncommon or not easily explained can then be listed. The idea is to avoid long lists and replace them with content. Alternatively, this business section could be a whole new article. I haven't gone through the terms to see how big such a section could be. Comments and revisions are greatly appreciated! Vector4F 01:58, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

I did some editing, to put the jargon to the side (under "See also"). I think people can follow the links to get a definition. I hope further revisions of the article continue to focus on general issues, such as what types of advertising are done, problems, differing models of payment, privacy issues, etc... As opposed to jargon, which only means something to those who already know it. Somebody wanting a definition for eCPM, would probably just go to that article directly, and wouldn't benefit from an eleboration here. --rob 22:44, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Naming an "Advertising Network" seems like a Wikipedia sanction

Naming Google AdSense in this article seems like Wikipedia is giving its official sanction to it. Instead of writing:

One example is Google's AdSense, which displays text-only ads that correspond to the keywords of an Internet search.

We could write:

Many advertising networks display text-only ads that correspond to the keywords of an Internet search.

Sound good?

[edit] Doesn't seem Neutral

This article no longer seems very neutral. Especially when the first section in it is "Problems with Ads". This should be fixed.

I made some edits in light of your comment. Tell me what you think. --Vector4F 03:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Vector4F: Thanks for the edit. It's better.

Although I think the article needs to say some things that are considered good about online advertising. (To help balance things.) Perhaps how online advertising is used to financially support websites, online magazines, etc etc.

--Charles Iliya Krempeaux 09:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

To me, the intro paragraphs seemed a little biased in favor of the subject. It would be an exaggeration to say that it sounded like an ad for online advertising, but it still strikes me as a bit overdone and not really neutral.

[edit] FYI: History of Online Advertising

Just an FYI. I'm planning on writting up a History of Online Advertising section for this article.

If anyone knows of any material to contribute, post it here to the talk page.

Hi Charles, I am currently in the process of interviewing the Bermeister brothers who have been involved in the online game for many years. They started out in the early 80's in software and moved into the online game in the 90's. Kevin Bermeister is involved with Altnet, and Steven is the CEO of Advertising Web Service, an online and multi-media ad agency. The piece I am writing is more about the family/business history but if I come across any info on the history of advertising, I'll let you know. --124.184.88.126 02:31, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Rebecca

[edit] Pay to click

Hi, I am the webmaster for a business directory and would like to know if it is possible for a business to know that someone has been directed to their website from ours.Localmatters (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
