Measure and optimize online branding advertising
Who are we ?
Alenty's founders are the creators of Netratings
measurement systems.
Our observation
The incredible gap between what is
measured and what can be measured on Internet.
Our approach
An analysis within the pages taking into
consideration the effective exposure duration.
Innovation
An embedded script that clocks web surfers while they are active and they
can see the content.
Our positioning
Branding campaigns are key to increase the media value.A precise measure of time will become the main KPI
Ad visible on screen :considered as seen if the web surfer is active.
Ad not visible on screen.
Effective exposure is key
Two criteria to define visibility:• Visibility on screen• mouse/keyboard activity
Implementation fields
Increase or defend Publishers/Vendors' CPM advertising revenue by creating “branding packs”
Optimise website ergonomics, to leverage on the visibility of each banners
Optimise On-line media plans by 20-30%
Optimization
Are your ad-banners seen ?Why effective ad exposure is so important ?
The Internet is lagging badly in capturingBrand ad $ (€ or £)
More & bigger budgets
less price sensitive
More value for all online players
Traditional media measures (GRP)
Branding ROI measurement
What is missing ?
Branding campaigns
The current “above the fold” rule does not guaranty a high viewing time!
Many sites offer placement right at the top of their pages, far
from contents.
Observation:
These ad spaces have a great visibility rate, but their impression duration is quite low because surfers scroll down quickly for content
Branding campaigns:Why switch from CTR to VT (viewing Time)
CTR: less and less and less... one of the reason of the value loss....
Only 1 in 3 browser is a clicker....and they are not a representative sample
(July 2009: clickers = 16%)
CTR does not correlate with branding effects
Click rateAd-Visibility rate
Top of a web page
Bottom of a web page
* Data collected on sample pages
CTR does not guarantee good visibility rate
