8. EVOLUTION - The History
BeforeThe BannerThere was SPAM :The first ever Spam email to annoy email owners
was sent on May 3, 1978.
The recipient list was 400 users long and was taken from theARPAnet directory.
ARPAnet, for the geeks in all of us, stands for Advanced Research ProjectsAgency
Network. It is considered to be the precursor to what we now know as Internet.
The first spam email advertisement ever to hit the inbox was GaryThuerk, also known
as the father of spam, not a very inspiring title.
9. The Birth of Banner Ads
Global Network Navigator, in 1993, was the first commercial website to sell a
clickable ad (later they were termed as “banner ads”).
It was sold to the law firm Heller EhrmanWhite & McAuliffe
By April 1995, advertisers like Mastercard and Zima were paying GNN $110 to
$11,000 per week for ad spots.
However, it was in October 1994, when the team at Hotwired – the first commercial
web magazine –the idea came in the form of selling ad spaces in large quantities and the
term “banner advertising” was coined
AT&T was one of the first companies to buy ads on Hotwired.
10. AT&T revolution on Hot Wired
The first banner ad on Hot wired was by AT&T, who wanted to use it as a means to
promote their new campaign “You will”.
When the users clicked on the ad they were taken on a virtual tour of seven of the
world’s greatest museums.The thought behind this concept was to impress upon the
users howAT&T could help them travel across time and space through Internet.
The ad space was bought for three months at the price of $30,000. It produced a click
through rate of whopping 44%
11. Chapters from 1995
Yahoo transformed itself from just being a web directory to a commercial business, the
same year in which they did the first keyword based advertisement.
Same year, an important change happened, Netscape and Infoseek changed their
advertisement pricing model to CPM (Cost perThousand Impressions) based.
August 1995: MSN online is launched by Microsoft. CBS launches itsWeb site.
AT&T and Saturn purchased banner ads on Pathfinder for $30,000
The Internet Advertising Council is assembled. A new Era
begins –Advertising in Internet.
12. Double click - major milestone in the banner ad industry
• An online ad-related-services providing agency- in 1996+
• Before Doubleclick, the ads were not organized or coordinated. Not only that, before its
creation it was hard for websites to find parties interested in buying ad spaces.
• Doubleclick developed a technology called DART (DynamicAdvertising Reporting and
Targeting) which helped advertisers to track the clicks and optimize their ads before the
campaign ends.
• Doubleclick was seen as quite successful and raised multiple round of funding. In fact, it was
one of the few companies which had a lot of money in the bank ($900 Million to be exact)
and survived the Dot com bubble.
• In March 2008,Google acquired DoubleClick for US$3.1 billion.The 3rd biggest acquisition
for Google after Motorola andYouTube.
13. Pay Per Click Advertising Model
By 1999, the online advertising industry had already reached $1 billion.With the number of web
sites increasing in the late 90′s , the need for search engines became more predominant.
For Google, textually relevant ads instead of banner ads seemed like a good option. Google
launched its search engine service in 1999 and it was in 2000 that the Adwords was introduced.
Google reintroducedAdwords which included the option of PPC advertising.The “Click through
rate” feature means that if an ad with a lower bid got more clicks than the others above it, it
would climb up the ranking ladder.A more sophisticated version is called the Quality Score
today.
Google did not invent the Pay per click model, but it simply adapted and perfected it.Today,
almost 96% of Google’s revenue comes from advertising.
14. Era of Social Media Advertising
Social media has revolutionized the online advertising industry, online advertising has gotten
powerful in a very short period of time thanks to social media.
Let’s first look at Facebook. Reports show that advertisers have spent more than $4 billion on
Facebook advertising. In 2008, Facebook launched “Facebook ads for businesses and it also
established the ad platform Beacon and introduced engagement ads.
In March 2013, Facebook acquired Microsoft’s advertising platform –Atlas.
Fun fact :As of 2012,Twitter’s mobile advertising revenue has exceeded Facebook’s mobile ad
revenue, with $129.7 million to $72.7 million.
Another powerful force in the social media advertising realm is, off course, YouTube.
YouTube launched promoted videos and pre-roll ads. In the first quarter of 2013 alone,Youtube
generated $350 million in mobile ad revenue.
15. The Present
Banner advertising -Although the effectiveness of banners is low now, according to
MediaMind, banner ads account for a huge part of online ad impressions. I’m sure this will not
continue for a long time and we as a part ofAdvertising industry should not promote banner ads. It
leads to banner blindness.
Retargeting – Retargeting is one of the technologies which really helped increase the relevance
of banner ads and improved the ROI for advertisers significantly.
Remarketing lists for search ads (RLSA) - Recently launched by GoogleAdwords, RLSA
allows advertisers to differentiate individuals based on the information if they have visited the
advertisers’ site or not.
Pay Per Click Advertising, Social Media Advertising etc..
16. The Future
RealTime Bidding: RealTime Bidding has been slowly but surely revolutionizing the way online
advertising works.
Sales from RTB : 2010 - 4%, 2011 - 10%, 2012 – 16%, 2015 – 27% (expected)
Advertisers submit their bids using automated software. Using the DSP (demand side platform) the
publisher then wins a bid request based on the visitors’ demographics.
Right now, a lot of Ad Networks use a RTB Exchange to increase their fill rates.
One of the biggest RTB Platform/Exchange is Rubicon project. In fact, in January 2013, it surpassed
Google in U.S.Audience Reach.
Tools will combine data visualization and manipulation with content creation capabilities (imagine the
merging of the desktop of a designer with that of aWall Street broker).
There is a fundamental shift in media buying from buying placements to buying audiences. Mobile and
video advertising provide new ways of reaching and engaging with users.
