Mobile Advertising: You're Doing It Wrong - O'Reilly Radar

By Nat Torkington

Don't miss this great post by Chris Heathcote deconstructing Google's first steps into map advertising on the web and mobile map apps.

As many people have predicted, text ads are difficult to make work on the mobile screen; in Chris's words,

Peak Google - O'Reilly Radar

By Nat Torkington

Google is presently the big pig at the online advertising trough, commanding by some estimates up to 62% of the $40B online advertising market. I was reading the latest 10-Q quarterly filing from Google, where it quite clearly states: Advertising revenues made up 99% of our revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007....

Google's Authentic Voice Problem - O'Reilly Radar

By Nat Torkington

Google had an interesting blogging problem last week. A post to the Google Health Advertising blog by Lauren Turner stirred up a lot of backlash when it claimed Michael Moore's new movie Sicko "portrays the industry as money and marketing driven, and fails to show healthcare’s interest in patient well-being and care"--and then went on to solicit Google ads to...

A Possible Business Model for Google News - O'Reilly Radar

By Tim O'Reilly

An article today in the New York Times, Big Papers Find National Ads a Tough Sell, opens with the assertion that advertisers, inspired by the success of targeted advertising via services like Google's AdSense, are starting to turn away from large national papers, and spending more on local or regional papers. This started a train of thought for me. Why...

Google ads adds to RSS - O'Reilly Radar

By Nat Torkington

Google has extended its AdSense program to RSS feeds. They're not the first to insert ads into RSS streams, of course (see Feedburner and BoingBoing for notable prior art) but as a massive force in online advertising you can bet it's a significant move. Ads bring two benefits to the blogger: revenue and insight. Not insight into whatever topic the...

Unintended Consequences of Google Pre-fetch - O'Reilly Radar

Lauren Weinstein's posting today on Dave Farber's IP list argues that Google's recent decision to pre-fetch the top search results for visitors using Mozilla-derived browsers has a number of unintended and (to his mind) undesirable consequences: It will distort the economics for advertisers on the pre-fetched sites, creating

Is intimate personal information a toxic asset in client-cloud datacenters? -...

By Carl Hewitt

Aggregators (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) tend to believe that personal information is a valuable asset for several reasons. It is valuable to advertisers because it enables greater relevance for their ads. It is valuable to users because it can be used to enrich their lives. And it is valuable to aggregators because they can use personal information to make more money by selling (anonymous?) versions and by using it to bring together advertisers and customers. Recency and intimacy can add value to information. Current and recent information tends to be more relevant than older information. Intimate psychological, physiological, sociological, geographical, medical, etc. information can be used to personalize interactions.

So much of the chatter around Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Yahoo! revolves around competition with Google in the online advertising market. While that is a huge market, one that Google now dominates, and one that Microsoft has a jones for, that's a very narrow way to view the combination.
