TV Advertising VS Digital Marketing

Advances in TV advertising technology now allow for much more cost effective advertising investments and performance models. Many companies are successfully integrating digital marketing strategies with direct response TV advertising, print, and radio.  Multi-channel analytics then ties it all together which makes the decision making scenario for marketing executives much easier.

This infographic provides an excellent comparison of TV advertising and digital marketing and media buying. It walks you through some interesting statistics, shows the values of each advertising strategy and where the overlap can provide opportunity for a powerful integrated campaign.

From Search Engine To Content Engine

How did we get from Google being a search engine that pointed to things, like travel guides or gift cards sold by other companies, to being a content company? It’s a position that more than ever before makes it hard for Google to assure other companies that it won’t play favorites with its search listings.

I pondered a headline for this column called “How Google Lost Its Way” or “How Google Became Evil,” but while either probably would pull more traffic, neither are correct. Google’s not lost its way, in the sense of being dysfunctional. It’s gone a different way from where it started, but it’s arguably stronger than ever.

Some might argue that this new path is Google having become the “evil” it speaks against with its “Don’t Be Evil” mantra. No. It wasn’t good nor evil before, as I’ve written previously. It was a company with big ideals, and it still has those big ideals. But the new path it has been on puts it in more conflict with other companies than ever before and thus opens it up to fresh “evil” accusations.

How has this happened to Google, which still continues pledging that it’s fighting the good fight for users and the internet as a whole? I’m going to argue that it’s paranoia that did it, in particular Google’s paranoia that other companies like Microsoft, Apple and Facebook were such a threat that Google created new services that have taken it 180 degrees away from the search engine roots where it started out.

What Is Google?

Google still has a search engine, of course. But the company itself is far beyond that. If you took the classic “What Is Yahoo” question that has confounded both past Yahoo CEOs Jerry Yang and Carol Bartz, rephrased that and put it to Google CEO Larry Page, I’m not sure he could summarize his company any better, in a short, easy-to-understand tweetable message.

Is it the official mission statement?

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.

If so, that tells consumers nothing. How about I try to summarize it by listing all the things that just pop into my head. Let’s go:

Google is a search engine and a social network and a mobile operating system and mobile phones called Nexus and a tablet called Nexus and a place you can buy content like books and games and videos called Google Play and a travel guide and a restaurant guide and a place you can write blog posts and a place you can watch videos on YouTube and a web browser and a way to place ads all over the web and where you can get offers or you can use your phone as a credit card and much more.

That’s not very helpful, either. To be fair, elsewhere on the Google site, under the image of various Google product logos shown above, the company tries to summarize what it does under a “get stuff done” heading:

Google has grown to offer products beyond search, but the spirit of what he said remains. With all our technologies—from search to Chrome to Gmail—our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you need and get the things you need to do done.

“Google. We help you do stuff,” might be a tagline the company should adopt. The only problem with that tagline is that when Google’s mission is to help people do things, then it has no boundaries, nothing preventing it from conflicting with all those other companies out there that help you do specific things.

Two-factor authentication means “something you know” (like a password) and “something you have,” which can be an object like a phone. Here’s a simple video about how it works:

Apple Allowed Hackers Access To User's iCloud Account

Is your iCloud account secured by a good password? That’s not going to help you if Apple sidesteps your security and hands hackers access to your account.

Yesterday I posted Mat Honan’s tale of woe. Hackers got into his iCloud account and used that to remote wipe his iPhone, iPad and MacBook before going on to create more mayhem. At the time it was assumed that the hackers had used bruteforcing – trying passwords until they got lucky — but it turns out thatApple gave the hackers access to his iCloud account.

            “I know how it was done now. Confirmed with both the hacker and Apple. It wasn’t password related. They got in via Apple tech support and some clever social engineering that let them bypass  security questions.

“Social engineering” is a fancy word for tricking the person on the other end to do what you want by making them believe that they are you.

Nothing can protect you from this kind of targeted attack. You ca have the best password possible, and awesome security questions, but if the hacker can convince the tech support person that they are you, they can walk past all that security.

Scary thought!

People can be tricked, but given the power that access to an iCloud gives someone — access to documents, photos, not to mention the ability to delete devices — I would expect Apple to have tighter controls over how people are allowed to bypass security questions. People do forget their passwords, and they do forget their security questions, but before allowing someone to bypass these safeguards Apple should err on the side of caution, perhaps making the person making the request jump through a number of hoops before giving them access to the account.

This high-profile hack of an iCloud account has highlighted that Apple has a weakness here, and the company needs to tighten up security and come clean about what went wrong here.

AdSense Optimization: Upgrade to High-Performing Units

Types of Ads in google - Learn how you can earn more AdSense revenue and boost your eCPM by upgrading to high-performing units .Tip for making the most of a little ad space: Try one of our streamlined link units, shown below. These sizes are versatile enough to fit in locations normal ads don't.
As a rule of thumb, wider ad sizes tend to outperform their taller counterparts, due to their reader-friendly format. Readers absorb information in "thought units," several words at a time. Wider sizes let them comfortably read more text at a glance without having to skip a line and return to the left margin every few words, as they'd have to with a narrower ad. 
If positioned well, wide ad sizes can increase your earnings significantly. The sizes we've found to be the most effective are the 336x280 Large Rectangle, the 300x250 Medium Rectangle, and the 160x600 Wide Skyscraper. Keep in mind that while these ad sizes typically perform well, you should use the size that best complements your pages.

The Wanted T4 ON THE BEACH Chasing The Sun

Yahoo! on Thursday was digging into how hackers looted nearly a half million passwords and email addresses from one of its servers.

A hacker group calling itself D33DS posted online a massive trove of data it said was unencrypted in a file pilfered from the Sunnyvale, California-based Internet pioneer "as a wake-up call not as a threat."

Yahoo! confirmed that a file from its Contributor Network (formerly Associated Content) containing approximately 450,000 Yahoo! and other company users names and passwords was compromised on Wednesday.

Security researchers who sifted through the posted data determined that it included information about accounts at other online services including Google's web-based Gmail, AOL, and Microsoft's Live.com.

"We apologize to all affected users," Yahoo! said in a prepared statement.

"We are taking immediate action by fixing the vulnerability that led to the disclosure of this data, changing the passwords of the affected Yahoo! users and notifying the companies whose users accounts may have been compromised."

Less than five percent of the Yahoo! account data stolen had valid passwords, the company contended.

Affected accounts were reportedly at an Internet telephone service called Yahoo! Voices, which is related to the company's instant messaging feature.

A month after Bing surpassed Yahoo to became the No. 2 search engine in the U.S., Yahoo’s search share continued to decline in the New Year, according to comScore. Meanwhile, Google climbed past a 66 percent share of the search market.

The search engine rankings for January 2012, according to comScore, were:

• Google grew to 66.2 percent (up from 65.9 percent in December 2011).
• Bing grew to 15.2 percent (up from 15.1 percent).
• Yahoo fell to 14.1 percent (down from 14.5 percent).
• Ask grew to 3 percent (up from 2.9 percent).
• AOL remained unchanged at 1.6 percent.

At this time last year, Google had 65.6 percent market share; Bing was in third place at 13.1 percent; Yahoo was in second place with 16.1 percent; Ask was at 3.4 percent; and AOL was at 1.7 percent.

Google’s share hasn’t been this high since November 2010, when Google commanded 66.2 percent of the search market, according to comScore.

More than 17.8 billion explicit core searches were conducted in January. This is down 2 percent from December. Google led the way with 11.8 billion of the total searches (down 2 percent from December); Bing ended up with 2.7 billion (down 2 percent), followed close by Yahoo with 2.5 billion (down 5 percent). Ask Network had 527 million searches (down 1 percent), followed by AOL with 277 million (down 3 percent).

In January, 68.4 percent of searches carried organic search results from Google (up from 68.1 percent in December), while Bing powered around 26.5 percent of searches – unchanged from December.

Google Inc. (GOOG) (GOOG)’s social network debuted at the top spot on a customer-service index of social-media websites, including Facebook Inc. (FB) (FB), which sank to a record low in the annual report.

Already owner of the world’s largest search engine, Google is counting on Google+ to help it challenge Facebook for user attention and to provide more data to improve its core web-query service. Google+ already has reached more than 250 million users, compared with more than 900 million for Facebook.

“Facebook is having a hard time with its customers, but they kind of own the concept of social network,” said Larry Freed, chief executive officer of researcher ForeSee Results Inc., which helps produce the index for the Internet industry. “If you want to see pictures of your grandkids or share them with your grandparents, you’re not going to find them on Google+ today. But if that network continues to grow, then they could be a very serious competitor.”

As a category, social media slipped 1.4 percent in the customer-satisfaction index to 69, the ACSI said. Twitter Inc., the microblogging service that has more than 140 million users, was a new entry to the category with a score of 64.

LinkedIn, Pinterest

Professional-networking site LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD) (LNKD) had a score of 63, and Pinterest Inc., an image-based social site, fared better at 69. Both were also new entries to the category.

Facebook’s score of 61 puts it among the five lowest- scoring companies of the 230 that the ACSI measures across different markets. Other complaints about Facebook included an excess of ads and privacy concerns, Freed said.
