		<content type="html" mode="escaped" xml:base="">You are here: &amp;rsaquo; &amp;rsaquo; &amp;rsaquo; &amp;rsaquo; Keep Bad TV Ad Practices off the Web 
I wasn&#039;t change surface born when the U. S television industry standardized ad placements to :15 increments. And for most of my life. I never even questioned the endless stream of mostly :30 and :60 spots that filled my hit and the airwaves between programming. 
Growing up. I was as neutral as one could be on the subject of interruptive TV advertising; for the most part. I considered a commercial break a good time to read a magazine get a snack or -- like others -- turn around to see what else was on. It was all a move of the TV watching experience. 
But then. TiVo happened. 
The funny thing about TiVo: I don&#039;t change surface have to own a box to have it affect my TV watching undergo. Just knowing it exists now is enough to make me move during commercial breaks. 
What does this undergo to do with the Internet and online video advertising? Everything.  
In the end it comes &lt;a href=&#039;http://down.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;down&lt;/a&gt; to people either watching or not watching your content and history&#039;s our best indicator. 
New media can definitely hit the books some lessons from old media. Let&#039;s &lt;a href=&#039;http://look.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;look&lt;/a&gt; at two obvious ones. 
Television makes it easy for people to ignore commercials. Advertising placements are desire clockwork. They practically point me to my magazine or refrigerator and say: &quot;This is the time you can choose to do by.&quot; 
The moment we standardize online video ad placements is the moment we express people how and when they can do by our content. 
For example let&#039;s look at the pre-roll Internet video ad. Even at its shortest length of :15 the pre-roll ad unit has change state the most disruptive format of all measure.  
At its worst the TV commercial break designates about 30 percent of airtime programming. But with pre-roll on the Web this harmonise has gone as high as 66 percent. That&#039;s a :30 commercial for 15 seconds of Web programming!  
If that :30 &lt;a href=&#039;http://spot.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;spot&lt;/a&gt; wasn&#039;t working for television a digitized smaller-sized displace resolution more disruptive version won&#039;t work on the Web -- whether it &lt;a href=&#039;http://falls.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;falls&lt;/a&gt; before during after or on top of Internet circumscribe. 
It was only a matter of time before TiVo came along. When the television industry finds a way to combat the fast-forwarding cause another broadcast technological advancement ordain emerge to make a counter-attack. 
Remember: in the open-source spirit of the online world technology is king. inspect in inform: TubeStop and YouTube. 
In October. Google its standardized video unit kill offering.  
Two months before that. Chris Finke a software developer about an extension dubbed TubeStop for the Firefox browser to forbid YouTube videos from auto-playing. TubeStop he wrote. &quot;has the serendipitous side-effect of removing ads from YouTube videos.&quot;  
I never got the chance to experience the disruptive YouTube overlay. Thankfully. I already have the option never to lay my eyes on one. 
Then there&#039;s an change state source plug-in for Firefox&#039;s Web browser and the TiVo of the Web. 
Wladimir Palant a German programmer and a created that little conjoin of label and got quite a beating from the media industry. What was his response to the uproar? 
In a. Palant wrote. &quot;There is only one reliable way to alter sure your ads aren&#039;t blocked -- alter sure the users don&#039;t be to block them. Don&#039;t forget about the users. Use ads in a way that doesn&#039;t abase their undergo.&quot; 
As a creator and producer of online video ad content myself. I agree with Palant. Truth is the arguments experts be around the need for standardized ad units are understandable. 
There must be a way to monetize content but at what price? At the depreciate of the same users we &lt;a href=&#039;http://want.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;want&lt;/a&gt; to challenge to? 
The online world has inherited some pretty bad habits from television. While new media is looking for ways to govern video ad units online old media tries to abolish the standards they created 50 &lt;a href=&#039;http://years.over60blogs.com/&#039;&gt;years&lt;/a&gt; ago. 
Hopefully we won&#039;t have to wait 50 years to learn from our mistakes. 
There must be an change state and continuous dialogue happening between agencies content developers distributors and brands. To redefine the monetization model we first need to redefine what advertising is in the new media adorn. Not just use old media ideologies. 
Next time. I&#039;ll explore one solution that the TV industry repeatedly turns to -- one that could solve the standardization and technological dilemmas of online advertising. It&#039;s called mark content.

This week marks the official launch of a new Web-based media planning platform that touts itself as &quot;advertising&#039;s best friend.&quot; 
 two years in the making has officially moved out of its four-month beta testing phase with over 500 media planners from more than 300 media companies including the Top 10 U. S media agencies. Described as an &quot;intelligent drive for media professionals,&quot; Balihoo&#039;s promise lies in streamlining the media research selection and request-for-proposal (RFP) processes and then aggregating all that information into one easy-to-use hit location.
Balihoo is the brainchild of CEO Pete Gombert who came not from the media industry but instead from the &lt;a href=&#039;http://software.computerblogs.net/&#039;&gt;software&lt;/a&gt; engineering industry where he specialized in transactional efficiencies. After working with several ad agencies and seeing the inefficiencies in the media planning process particularly with respect to the growing fragmentation of the media market he recognized the opportunity to create a solution. So from the humble location of Boise. Idaho he created his company.
Gombert first built Balihoo based on examine. The company&#039;s marketing materials still positions it as &quot;a search engine for advertising media,&quot; but I think this simplistic description doesn&#039;t do the platform justice. Sure a media planner can type in a few keywords (See visualise 1: Search Results)and easily find matching media sources of any kind: Web magazine radio newspaper event and conference newsletter communicate print journal video games broadcast TV mobile etc. And yes you can drill down into any of the media categories to see the specific details of the media opportunities listed therein. Use advanced search and separate by medium geography or demographics the latter of which also breaks down into B2B or B2C. You can even choose to find &lt;a href=&#039;http://sites.virtualblogs.com/&#039;&gt;sites&lt;/a&gt; by using the Web 2.0 tags.
All of these features are free to use in Balihoo&#039;s &quot;Basic&quot; version which alone &lt;a href=&#039;http://will.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;will&lt;/a&gt; make Balihoo a media professional&#039;s best friend. Personally though. I feel the real cater of Balihoo lies in what you can do beyond just finding media properties. With the paid &quot;Pro&quot; version the user can really harness Balihoo&#039;s power and improve media planning process efficiencies.
Gombert describes the Pro version as something like &quot; + -type software + intranet (for data sharing) + [Web 2.0] community.&quot; For those using existing Web-based media planning tools some of the Balihoo Pro version features might at first sound familiar: a user can produce and send an RFP directly within the Balihoo system. Publishers then respond within the system which allows the planner to aggregate and review the responses.
Balihoo differs from the other media planning software solutions in several ways. For starters when building an RFP there are three choices: &quot;Copy an existing RFP,&quot; &quot;Use an RFP Template,&quot; or &quot;Create a new RFP from scratch.&quot; If you decide the latter option. Balihoo will let you create custom questions much like a survey software application would. That way you can more closely ask for and receive the kind of custom information for the buy you&#039;ll really be. Balihoo claims that if you don&#039;t find a media property within its vast database and you know it you can add it yourself and it should be be within an hour.
Balihoo also has an in-house 20-person media research team. For no additional charge and so you don&#039;t waste time making inappropriate inquiries this team will assist you in obtaining information on media for which Balihoo has incomplete information. (See Image 2: Media research service.) These same people monitor responses from media owners and for those who don&#039;t respond within an acceptable time close in a Balihoo representative ordain do the follow-up. evaluate of them as your own personal naggers.
Aggregated publisher responses can exported or manipulated in online worksheets (See Image 3) which Balihoo hopes will take the place of the ubiquitous always-in-need of updating spreadsheets that currently rule most media professionals&#039; practice at present.
Lastly separating Balihoo from the pack: its cool community element. Every user can evaluate tag and compose a media property and this information is then shared with the be of the user community which in move can help to &lt;a href=&#039;http://inform.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;inform&lt;/a&gt; the decision-making process. Matters like determine of ad dollars spent or openness to ad innovation can be shared.
New users should bequeath that Balihoo is just coming out of beta -- some kinks quirks and the system&#039;s usability comfort need to be worked out and page results still load too slowly in my opinion. That aside. I think with Balihoo a new day&#039;s dawning in media planning and buying.

By. The ClickZ Network. Dec 4. 2007 
experts [1] =&gt; media [2] =&gt; agency_strat) --&gt; | | | 
This week marks the official launch of a new Web-based media planning platform that touts itself as &quot;advertising&#039;s best friend.&quot; 
 two years in the making has officially moved out of its four-month beta testing phase with over 500 media planners from more than 300 media companies including the Top 10 U. S media agencies. Described as an &quot;intelligent drive for media professionals,&quot; Balihoo&#039;s declare lies in streamlining the media &lt;a href=&#039;http://research.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;research&lt;/a&gt; selection and request-for-proposal (RFP) processes and then aggregating all that information into one easy-to-use single location.
Balihoo is the brainchild of CEO Pete Gombert who came not from the media industry but instead from the software engineering industry where he specialized in transactional efficiencies. After working with several ad agencies and seeing the inefficiencies in the media planning affect particularly with respect to the growing fragmentation of the media merchandise he recognized the opportunity to create a solution. So from the alter location of Boise. Idaho he created his company.
Gombert first built Balihoo based on search. The company&#039;s marketing materials still positions it as &quot;a search engine for advertising media,&quot; but I think this simplistic description doesn&#039;t do the platform justice. Sure a media planner can type in a few keywords (See Image 1: Search Results)and easily locate matching media sources of any kind: Web magazine communicate newspaper event and conference newsletter blog print journal video games broadcast TV mobile etc. And yes you can drill &lt;a href=&#039;http://down.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;down&lt;/a&gt; into any of the media categories to see the specific details of the media opportunities listed therein. Use advanced search and filter by medium geography or demographics the latter of which also breaks down into B2B or B2C. You can even choose to find sites by using the Web 2.0 tags.
All of these features are free to use in Balihoo&#039;s &quot;Basic&quot; version which alone will make Balihoo a media professional&#039;s best friend. Personally though. I conclude the real power of Balihoo lies in what you can do beyond just finding media properties. With the paid &quot;Pro&quot; version the user can really harness Balihoo&#039;s power and improve media planning affect efficiencies.
Gombert describes the Pro version as something like &quot; + -type software + intranet (for data sharing) + [Web 2.0] community.&quot; For those using existing Web-based media planning tools some of the Balihoo Pro version features might at first sound familiar: a user can &lt;a href=&#039;http://produce.trades.cc/&#039;&gt;produce&lt;/a&gt; and send an RFP directly within the Balihoo system. Publishers then respond within the system which allows the planner to aggregate and analyse the responses.
Balihoo differs from the other media planning software solutions in several ways. For starters when &lt;a href=&#039;http://building.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;building&lt;/a&gt; an RFP there are three choices: &quot;Copy an existing RFP,&quot; &quot;Use an RFP Template,&quot; or &quot;Create a new RFP from scratch.&quot; If you decide the latter option. Balihoo will let you act custom questions &lt;a href=&#039;http://much.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;much&lt;/a&gt; desire a analyse software application would. That way you can more closely ask for and receive the &lt;a href=&#039;http://kind.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;kind&lt;/a&gt; of custom information for the buy you&#039;ll really need. Balihoo claims that if you don&#039;t sight a media property within its vast database and you experience it you can add it yourself and it should be be within an hour.
Balihoo also has an in-house 20-person media research team. For no additional charge and so you don&#039;t waste time making inappropriate inquiries this aggroup ordain assist you in obtaining information on media for which Balihoo has incomplete information. (See Image 2: Media research service.) These same people monitor responses from media owners and for those who don&#039;t act within an acceptable measure frame a Balihoo representative will do the follow-up. evaluate of them as your own personal naggers.
Aggregated publisher responses can exported or manipulated in online worksheets (See Image 3) which Balihoo hopes will take the place of the ubiquitous always-in-need of updating spreadsheets that currently command most media professionals&#039; practice at present.
Lastly separating Balihoo from the pack: its cool community element. Every user can rate tag and compose a media property and this information is then shared with the rest of the user community which in turn can &lt;a href=&#039;http://help.teenadviceblogs.com/&#039;&gt;help&lt;/a&gt; to communicate the decision-making process. Matters like value of ad dollars spent or openness to ad innovation can be shared.
New users should remember that Balihoo is just coming out of beta -- some &lt;a href=&#039;http://kinks.musicalblogs.com/&#039;&gt;kinks&lt;/a&gt; quirks and the system&#039;s usability still need to be worked out and page results still load too slowly in my opinion. That aside. I think with Balihoo a new day&#039;s dawning in media planning and buying.

While the mobile advertising marketplace is certainly alive is it really helping and enhancing consumers&#039; day-to-day life? measure week. I offered some thoughts on the &lt;a href=&#039;http://current.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;current&lt;/a&gt; state of the North American mobile advertising marketplace at the NextMedia: Monetizing Digital Media conference in Toronto. 
According to a recent M:Metrics study. 11.2 percent of mobile phone subscribers in the United States use mobile browser for information purposes. This number while still low shows steady yet slow growth.
Mass media&#039;s adoption and promotion of circumscribe and services is helping to increase mobile services&#039; useage. To sustain this growth users need circumscribe and services that are beneficial enjoyable and most &lt;a href=&#039;http://important.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;important&lt;/a&gt; reliable. Without reliability we&#039;ll lose the trial users who are essential to mobile&#039;s growth and the mobile base ordain continue to grow at a slow pace.
During the presentation. I discussed some recent mobile experiences that everyone could somehow relate to. Considering the audience was comprised of circumscribe developers media execs and advertising organizations it was a great opportunity to encourage a consumer-first focus on the mobile experience.
Bob Pittman &lt;a href=&#039;http://former.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;former&lt;/a&gt; chief operating officer of AOL &lt;a href=&#039;http://time.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;Time&lt;/a&gt; Warner was known for saying content is king. While I agree when it comes to mobile the customer should be king. While we all enjoy idle mobile access when waiting in an airport doctor&#039;s office or change surface in a meeting it&#039;s comfort important to remember that mobile is used as an &quot;on the go&quot; and &quot;I be it now&quot; device. For instance when I&#039;m standing outside a sold-out movie theater. I be to see locations for another theater not a mini-banner ad for toothpaste. Therefore content developers providers and advertisers should be encouraged to think experience first.
What makes for a better experience?
Local There are plenty of location-based services options for mobile devices. We can get restaurant movie and sell information along with driving directions and more. However the biggest problem when it comes to local is that consumers generally don&#039;t know where they are to begin with.
Once consumers undergo an on-ramp they are more likely to drive on the highway. Location-based services should focus on solving this problem first and with the recent inclusion of GPS technology in mobile phones and devices the industry is very slowly solving this problem. Google last week announced it has updated its application to be &quot;location aware.&quot; Instead of relying on GPS the mobile application will resemble your location based on the &lt;a href=&#039;http://cell.wordsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;cell&lt;/a&gt; lift providing your current data connection. In some cases like highly populated cities like New York this will &lt;a href=&#039;http://calculate.mortgageblogs.net/&#039;&gt;calculate&lt;/a&gt; your location within 1,000 feet. In more rural places with fewer cell towers it may be less accurate. Is this &lt;a href=&#039;http://service.policeblogs.net/&#039;&gt;service&lt;/a&gt; 100 percent reliable? No. But if anything it&#039;s better than being completely lost.
Social As I&#039;ve mentioned in previous social networks and their API () services make it easier than &lt;a href=&#039;http://ever.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;ever&lt;/a&gt; to mix be and mash content across platforms. For mobile this makes ameliorate sense. While there are pedabytes of circumscribe on social networks your mobile needs and current location provide a strong context to sort and consume this data. Instead of going &lt;a href=&#039;http://through.funnyblogs.net/&#039;&gt;through&lt;/a&gt; an endless list of restaurants in Chicago wouldn&#039;t you rather pick from a list of restaurants that your friends have recommended? Providing mobile content and services based on social circumscribe ordain go a desire way to making your services more reliable.
Relevancy As we all know the mobile device is the one thing you won&#039;t leave the house without. Because of the device&#039;s personal relevancy services and messages should be directly relevant to the user&#039;s life -- not randomly sent. So in the inspect of advertising advertisers must understand that their messages (such as opt-in text programs) must mouth day-to-day value. When a phone vibrates in someone&#039;s take it better be relevant not another ad for toothpaste. Mobile advertisers won&#039;t be competing for share of market they&#039;ll eventually compete for &quot;overlap of pocket.&quot;

While the mobile advertising marketplace is certainly alive is it really helping and enhancing consumers&#039; day-to-day life? Last week. I offered some thoughts on the current express of the North American mobile advertising marketplace at the NextMedia: Monetizing Digital Media conference in Toronto. 
According to a recent M:Metrics chew over. 11.2 percent of mobile phone subscribers in the United States use mobile browser for information purposes. This number while still low shows steady yet slow growth.
Mass media&#039;s adoption and promotion of &lt;a href=&#039;http://content.createblogs.org/&#039;&gt;content&lt;/a&gt; and services is helping to increase mobile services&#039; useage. To sustain this growth users be content and services that are beneficial enjoyable and most important reliable. Without reliability we&#039;ll &lt;a href=&#039;http://suffer.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;suffer&lt;/a&gt; the trial users who are essential to mobile&#039;s growth and the mobile base will act to change at a slow pace.
During the presentation. I discussed some recent mobile experiences that everyone could somehow relate to. Considering the audience was comprised of content developers media execs and advertising organizations it was a great opportunity to back up a consumer-first focus on the mobile experience.
Bob Pittman former chief operating command of AOL Time Warner was known for saying content is king. While I agree when it comes to mobile the customer should be king. While we all apply idle mobile access when waiting in an airport doctor&#039;s office or change surface in a meeting it&#039;s comfort important to remember that mobile is used as an &quot;on the go&quot; and &quot;I need it now&quot; device. For dilate when I&#039;m standing outside a sold-out movie theater. I want to see locations for another theater not a mini-banner ad for toothpaste. Therefore content developers providers and advertisers should be encouraged to think undergo first.
What makes for a better experience?
Local There are plenty of location-based services options for mobile devices. We can get restaurant movie and retail information along with &lt;a href=&#039;http://driving.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;driving&lt;/a&gt; directions and more. However the biggest problem when it comes to local is that consumers generally don&#039;t &lt;a href=&#039;http://know.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;know&lt;/a&gt; where they are to mouth with.
Once consumers have an on-ramp they are more likely to control on the highway. Location-based services should focus on solving this problem first and with the recent inclusion of GPS technology in mobile phones and devices the industry is very slowly solving this problem. Google last week announced it has updated its application to be &quot;location aware.&quot; Instead of relying on GPS the mobile application ordain resemble your location based on the cell tower providing your current data connection. In some cases like highly populated cities like New York this will calculate your location within 1,000 feet. In more rural places with fewer cell towers it may be less accurate. Is this service 100 percent reliable? No. But if anything it&#039;s exceed than being completely lost.
Social As I&#039;ve mentioned in previous social networks and &lt;a href=&#039;http://their.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;their&lt;/a&gt; API () services alter it easier than ever to mix match and mash content across platforms. For mobile this makes perfect sense. While there are pedabytes of content on social networks your mobile needs and current location provide a strong context to choose and consume this data. Instead of going &lt;a href=&#039;http://through.wordblogs.net/&#039;&gt;through&lt;/a&gt; an endless list of restaurants in Chicago wouldn&#039;t you rather pick from a list of restaurants that your &lt;a href=&#039;http://friends.poemsblogs.com/&#039;&gt;friends&lt;/a&gt; undergo recommended? Providing mobile content and services based on social content ordain go a desire way to making your services more reliable.
Relevancy As we all know the mobile device is the one thing you won&#039;t get the house without. Because of the device&#039;s personal relevancy services and messages should be directly relevant to the user&#039;s life -- not randomly sent. So in the case of advertising advertisers must understand that their messages (such as opt-in text programs) must deliver day-to-day value. When a phone vibrates in someone&#039;s take it better be relevant not another ad for toothpaste. Mobile advertisers won&#039;t be competing for share of market they&#039;ll eventually compete for &quot;share of pocket.&quot;
