Online Campaigns: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

According to Dan Felter of Clickz, web site partners are in the midst of deciding their stance on coregistration/lead registration. For some it does not matter what gets put on their pages or next to their advertising as long as the money is right. Other web site partners have strict rules about user-friendly behavior and presentation online to avoid bombarding views with annoying advertising. Either way, coregistration/lead registration is another opportunity to increase awareness and build up an online advertising campaign.

So what are companies spending on Internet advertising and how efficient is it? The answer is, it depends entirely on the way you use the Internet. Some have been an expensive failure while others have lead to a skyrocketing effect on brand awareness. Consider your success to be based on the same good business practices that will help you succeed in any other medium.

Companies that force flashing full page ads with an "opt-out," or charge obscene amounts for coregistration are not going to have the same positive effect a solid online campaign would have. Consider that online advertising is the most trackable form of advertisement the world has seen yet. Think about what a good campaign is and what role you want your company to take in the ever-expanding world of Internet business. With all that in mind, doesn't it seem only natural to take full advantage of the medium with a really sound online advertising initiative?
