AdvertisersAaddzz makes it easy for advertisers to place their ads on pages across the Web. Advertisers choose the price they pay per impression or click-thru. The more paid, the more frequently the ad will be shown. Once an advertiser has set up an Aaddzz account and prepaid their advertising fees, an ad campaign can be active in minutes. Aaddzz provides volume discounts for advertisers based upon the total advertising dollars spent during the previous three billing months.
Impression Advertising
Advertisers can use Aaddzz to promote a brand name with impression ads that convey a message at a glance. Although viewers can click on the ad and visit the Web site for more information, the primary goal is to have the viewer remember a brand name: brand awareness.
Immediate Event
Timed Broadcast For example, Aaddzz timed broadcasts can be used to promote interactive chat sessions with celebrities, to promote live Internet broadcasts, to promote a TV program the day before it airs or just before the work day ends.
Click-Thru Advertising Aaddzz makes it very easy for advertisers to place ads. As a result, advertisers can easily place more ads and make these ads more directed. For example, instead of promoting a Web site selling books, an ad can be made for each book. An ad for a book on home improvment will be displayed on the pages where it can make sales that a general ad for a book store might not. In this case, the home improvement ad could appear on pages about wood working tools. Aaddzz allows advertisers to directly control their advertising expenses. If a book seller knows that they sell one book for every five people who click on their ad and that they have an advertising budget of $2.00 per sale, they could pay a maximum of $0.40 per click-thru and still meet their advertising budget. Aaddzz automatic targeting could be especially good for a home improvement book when an online newspaper publishes a story about gardening. If the ad did well on this page, Aaddzz would quickly learn to deliver the ad in this space to benefit both the advertiser and the newspaper. The goal of pay-per click-thru advertising is to only attract interested visitors. For this reason, click-thru ads should not be vague, as advertisers would not want to pay for a visitor who was not interested in their Web page or product. For instance, one way of attracting visitors more likely to buy a product is to place the price of the product in the ad. A lower than expected price in the ad might also attract visitors who assumed the price would be higher. The low cost of placing ads with Aaddzz allows advertisers to experiment with and without a price to determine which is most effective. Advertisers can also inexpensively experiment with words and images.
Every ad has a click-thru ratio- the average number of impressions needed to generate a click-thru. For example, an ad that has 20 impressions for each click-thru has a 20:1 click-thru ratio. For untargeted advertising, click-thru ratios of 50:1 are considered good. Targeted advertising commonly produces click-thru ratios of 25:1 or better. Generally, the ad with the lower ratio is considered better. However, the bottom line must be considered. The best performing ad is the ad that generates the most sales per advertising dollar spent. If an advertiser has two ads that make a profit, one of which has a better ratio than the other, they should continue advertising with both ads. Suppose that for the same product, out of 100 people, 10 people would click on an ad that mentioned "budget solution" and 5 other people would click on an ad that mentioned "elegant." Aaddzz low fees, allows advertisers to advertise with both ads and reach their full sales potential. The more information that is packed into a click-thru ad, the better targeted the ad will be, the more qualified the viewer will be, the less the overall cost for the advertiser will be. In summary, Aaddzz can be used with targeted click-thru ads to allow advertisers a significant return from qualified viewers at a fixed cost.
Common Questions For AdvertisersCan I control on which sites my ad appears?If you are concerned about maximizing the effectiveness of your ads by selecting sites which you believe your ad would be effective, consider this: Aaddzz will figure out the best pages, not just sites, for your ad. Aaddzz will use ad performance data from click-thrus to statistically determine the best pages, and automatically do recalculations as pages are added and removed from the Aaddzz network. If you are concerned about the content appearing next to your ads, advertisers can prohibit their ads from appearing on Web sites in specific domains, or by content rating. Since sites can join Aaddzz in minutes and the content of any site can change at anytime, reviewing sites to determine their suitability for advertising is not practical. To protect advertisers, Aaddzz is able to re-rate sites for which we receive numerous complaints. Additionally, if an advertiser should receive a complaint about a site, they can immediately prohibit their ads from appearing on the site through the Aaddzz Web management interface.
