| - | ==Efficiency and Effectiveness== MALUNO | ||
| - | |||
| - | Advertising on the Internet has the dual benefit of being generally more efficient and effective compared to other media channels. A standard advertising cost metric is CPM or Cost per Thousand Impressions. For example, a $1 CPM equates to a cost of $1 to reach 1,000 theoretical viewers or readers (theoretical because not everyone will read or look at an advertisement). Internet CPM rates in 2006 averaged $6, much less than most traditional media (see table below). Compounding this lower cost is the effectiveness of Internet advertising, which can bduct or service during an internet session. Companies such as [[Google]] and [[Yahoo!]] have leveraged the measure-ability of the Internet to charge advertisers for clicks rather than impressions, further attracting advertisers with its pay-for-performance model. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to measure how effectively television, newspaper, radio or magazine ads drive sales. | ||

| - | ==Click Fraud== | ||
| - | Click fraud involves a person or automated script that clicks on a Pay-per-click ad in order to generate a charge without actually having interest in the target ad. Pay-per-click (PPC) Internet ad companies face threats from click fraud, which artificially inflate the prices paid by advertisers and benefit the advertising companies such as [[Yahoo!]] and [[Google]], which generate revenue from clicks. Both of these companies have settled several lawsuits claiming that the company did not do enough to stem click fraud. It is currently under debate how much of their PPC business is fraudulent. | ||

| - | ==Emerging channels== | ||
| - | Video games and mobile phones are two channels that may threaten or accelerate Internet advertising companies. [[Game Consoles Wars: Xbox 360 vs. PS3 vs. Wii|Console video games]] (i.e., PlayStation, Xbox, and Wii) are increasingly connected, and Internet-based games themselves (e.g., large online multiplayer games) have risen in popularity. In addition, [[Mobile Phone Adoption in Developing Countries|mobile phones are one of the most popular devices in the world]] and have increased in capabilities through technology such as [[3G]], which enables a wide range of activity such as email, Internet browsing, and multimedia capabilities. Advertising on these channels is a small but rapidly growing trend. Internet advertising companies such as [[MSFT|MSN]] and [[Yahoo!]] may benefit from these trends if they build capabilities to leverage these channels; otherwise, these emerging media may take share away from "traditional" Internet advertising as advertisers seek innovative ways to reach potential customers--for instance, mobile advertising has the benefit of being location-based and highly targetable. Internet video advertising is also growing in popularity and companies such as [[MODAVOX INC (MDVX)]] are assisting publishers of online videos in monetizing online videos. Whereas traditional TV advertising has relied on per-show and DMA targeting, internet video marketing can tailor advertising delivery on a per-user basis, according to the interests, viewing habits, demographics, time and / or location of every individual viewer. Internet video delivery also allows insertion parameters to be adjusted and optimized to maximize performance on the fly.<ref>[http://www.reelseo.com/video-advertising-2008/ Online Video Advertising Industry Report For Q4 2008]</ref> | ||

| - | ==Channel Maturation== | ||
| - | Internet penetration and total page views in the U.S. have slowed in recent months, potentially signaling channel maturation. Internet advertising depends heavily on online traffic and if these trends continue, advertising spend on this may not grow at the same rate as recently (18% per year from 2001-2006). | ||

| - | ==Who Benefits from Internet Advertising== | ||
| - | * Online ad companies such as [[Google]], [[Yahoo!]] and [[Microsoft|Microsoft's]] MSN account for a large portion of all PPC advertising (mostly search). Google in particular dominates the field, growing at a faster rate than Internet advertising overall while maintaining its leading position in the industry. | ||
| - | * Media companies with less exposure to traditional advertising and a greater dependence on other revenues drivers such as subscription (e.g., cable TV, satellite radio, premium newspapers) may benefit relative to their peers. | ||
| - | ** [[Time Warner]] derives a larger portion of business outside of advertising compared to other media conglomerates. Even within its advertising business, the company is more heavily exposed to the Internet (13% of revenue from traditional advertising, about half of which is digital). | ||
| - | ** The [[Dow Jones]] company, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, is ahead of its newspaper peers in terms of penetration into Internet advertising and online subscription revenue across its various properties such ask WSJ.com | ||
| - | * Companies such as [[Cisco]] and [[Juniper Networks (JNPR)|Juniper]] provide infrastructure products and services for the Internet. If Internet traffic--and hence, advertising--grows, then these companies may benefit for the demand of higher bandwidth and faster connections (e.g., online videos) | ||
| - | * Advertising agencies focused on Internet advertising would benefit from the increase in agency services in this space. [[aQuantive]], a leading online advertising agency, was purchased by Microsoft in May 2007 at nearly double their market price previous to the announcement. | ||
| - | *Technology platform developers such as [[MODAVOX INC (MDVX)]] allow organizations to create, manage, and monetize internet radio and video content. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==Who Loses Out== | ||
| - | * Traditional media companies such as [[Time Warner]], [[Viacom]], [[Walt Disney Company (DIS)]], [[News Corp]], [[Cablevision Systems (CVC)]], [[Time Warner Cable]], [[Hearst-Argyle Television (HTV)]] and [[CBS]] depend heavily on advertising in traditional channels. Some media companies, however, are more exposed than others and several have even focused on building up their own Internet property portfolio. | ||
| - | ** [[CBS]] is particularly dependent on traditional advertising, which drives over 70% of their overall revenue. | ||
| - | ** [[Print Publishing Industry|Newspaper]] companies such as the [[New York Times]] and [[Washington Post Company (WPO)]] have suffered losses in both print advertising and subscription revenue as readers increasingly seek news online. In addition, a large portion of their online advertising business depends on advertising companies such as Google, which provide the inventory of ads and advertisers for sites such as About.com and NYTimes.com (Google shares the revenue generated by such ads). | ||
| - | * Major advertising agency conglomerates such as [[Omnicom Group (OMC)]] and [[Interpublic Group of Companies (IPG)]] source a large portion of revenue from media buying. If Internet advertising continues to put pricing pressure on more expensive media channels (such as newspaper and TV), traditional agencies' revenues may be negatively affected. | ||
| - | * Paper companies who provide stock for newspapers, magazines, yellow pages, and direct mail may see business decline, as the Internet continues to take advertising away from print media. Several newspapers such as the [[Dow Jones (DJ)|Wall Street Journal]] have also moved to reduce the size of their physical newspaper. | ||
