70% of Advertisers Are Looking for a Better Way of Measuring and Tracking Their Online Marketing Efforts

Omniture, an online marketing and web analytics company, released an in-depth report reviewing current online marketing tactics and measurement tools for blogs, user generated content (UGC), social media, and display advertising.  The purpose of the study focuses on consumer behavior given today’s overwhelming online advertising landscape, as well as how marketers can quantify their online marketing campaigns.  The study is packed with great insight on where consumer habits are trending. What’s most interesting and highly sought after by any online marketer is how to quantify these tactics and what the best analytics tools are for this.

Current Web Analytic Tools and Trends

While traditional forms of advertising i.e., brand, image, display, have been widely used online since the Internet’s inception, new measurement tools are being looked at to bridge the gap between impression and click through.

Here’s a snapshot of the article we found most intriguing:

“More than any other time in the history of the Web, marketers are measuring a variety of metrics. On average, they use six metrics. Click-throughs account for the highest usage at 80 percent, followed by impressions at 62 percent.

Direct response-oriented metrics are becoming increasingly popular at 57 percent, particularly registrations and purchases. In addition, engagement mapping (also called purchase path measurement or attribution) is emerging as a metric – - it is the idea that you can attribute a consumer’s fulfillment to a previously viewed ad, even if they took not obvious action at that time.

This lingering awareness, or latent impression, results in the consumer clicking a second similar ad or returning to the Web to perform a search on the product. The principle is a new idea; it is happening in relation to Web analytics tools as a way to determine how display campaigns really affect consumer behavior on a particular site.

Marketers must expand their metrics horizon to consider out-of-box methods for measurement, such as using free tools for listening to buzz on other sites about your product or creatively leveraging search analytic tools you are already paying for to monitor how individuals change their search behavior, as an indicator that your advertising in the social media space is having a desired impact.”

Jupiter Research’s findings state 70 percent of advertisers want more accurate campaign measurement.

The Omniture report, collaborating with Jupiter and Forrester, goes on to introduce a newly formed metric: Engagement Mapping (also called Purchase Path Measurement or Attribution). This consists of the idea that as the advertiser, you can attribute a consumer’s fulfillment to a previously viewed ad, even if the action is not taken at that time. Simply, if the consumer sees an ad campaign targeted to where the demographic is searching, it will be highly likely that the consumer will run into that same ad campaign enough times – -  the end result being a response to purchase.

In today’s world of ad tools overload, there is an emerging need for an accurate, simple, and manageable web analytic software. Emily Riley, a senior analyst at Jupiter Research, sees that advertisers are only beginning to see the need for attribution. “The pivotal factor for success is to figure out the resulting behavior, then be able to reverse segment the user population based on whether they saw the campaign or not”.  For instance, tracking the impression and click through rates.  She goes on to say, “This will start to prove that those who are exposed to creative spending are more likely to convert over a period of time.”

Thus, serving the consumer ads that are relevant and targeted is key of course, but making sure that Advertisers can directly link the sales funnel through to purchase with more robust analytics tools is what’s on the mind of most advertisers.

For Digispace, an online performance based advertising company already providing web analytic software and optimization tools in the CPA and direct response segments, we believe we’ll crack this code too. Stay tuned!

Creating Ad Groups for Online Advertising

For those who run pay per click (PPC) advertising campaigns, much has been written about the importance of ad group organization and calibration based on your PPC campaign targets.

To do this, you must first understand the goals and objectives of ad groups as explained and simplified here in a snapshot from the latest Pay Per Click Insider Tips article:

The Goal of Ad Groups

• To perfectly align questions (search queries) with answers (text ads)

• Every query that comes into an ad group should smack straight into some ad copy that directly and perfectly addresses its topics, issues, intent, and desires.

• It not good enough for all the keywords in an ad group to be similar or narrowly focused or contextually similar or anything else.

• If the people whose queries come into a group don’t see text ads that satisfy them, the ad group is a failure.

Now that you understand the goals of Ad Groups within your PPC Advertising Campaigns, it is imperative to understand that reorganizing and shifting things around within the groups is just as important.  Optimizing keyword groups is essential to consistently improve your quality score; which leads to cheaper costs per click and a higher ad position.

Targeting keywords that have an acceptable level of traffic and competition, (something you can effectively compete with) will help you rise up in the rankings as well as begin to tell you a story about the effectiveness of your current ad group strategy – - you will begin to see what works and what does not.

Using PPC Management Software to Achieve Measurable Results

Digispace Solutions created The Magic Bullet System as an all inclusive campaign management system which is an unparalleled optimization system for media buying.

The Magic Bullet System’s Ad Tracker module will help you track keywords, tell you how many days in a row a PPC ad has been seen, provide data on the competition’s keywords, and show which campaigns are profitable based on the categories you are targeting.

Keywords need to be tested and changed often. Utilizing a campaign management system, that pulls and monitors your ad groups is pertinent to achieving results and profits. With The Magic Bullet System, keyword optimization is an automated breeze enabling you to  focus on other aspects of your business while The Magic Bullet System does the rest.

Online marketers use pop up advertising for email list building

Cost-Per-View (CPV, otherwise known as pop ups) is an affordable and targeted traffic source that is a very effective tactic to use to build opt-in email lists at great rates.  We can’t express enough how important testing is for all online media tracking, but while you’re testing out different landing pages or offers, you should also have list building as one of the CPV tactics you’re employing.

Why? It’s an affordable tactic that has the potential to garner thousands of subscribers in a few days.

What Markets are best for CPV List Building?

Current research has shown that this source works great for people who typically buy multiple products or are constantly purchasing services.  Specific success has been seen in the dating, health, loans, and work from home products.  Because CPV is a very targeted media tactic, this gives you all the more reason to test multiple forms, long and short, and multiple products that appeal to your end users.

How Do I Get Started?

First, figure out which demographics you’d like to target and then which types of products work best for multiple/like offers.  The beauty niche is a perfect example of an offering that has multiple products, brands, colors, age groups, etc.

The key to attracting this type of customer to filling out your forms is by giving them something resourceful and that speaks directly to them.  Keeping with the beauty niche example, why not give them a free sample or have them sign up for discounts on all brands of make-up, or even better, give them a “Secret” report that the beauty industry doesn’t want you to know about.  The key here is to be creative and as engaging as possible.

Once you provide them with this opportunity, they will typically provide you with their information further indicating that you’re targeting the right demographics with the right offers targeting the websites they like to visit.

List Building offers you the opportunity to capture customers and continue marketing to them as long as they stay opted in.  If done right, your list can become a list of lifetime customers who look to you to bring them what they’re looking for online.  This is an opportunity and traffic source you definitely want in your media arsenal.
