7 Ways to Launch White Papers with a Bang

B2C 

Publishing a new white paper is a lot like publishing a new book — you need to do a lot of marketing ahead of time. Marketing beforehand can help create a lot of buzz and get people to line up to read it as soon as it is published.

The tips below will help you prepare for the big launch:

Nielsen Strengthens Online Campaign Ratings For Ads

MediaPost 

Nielsen has inked a deal to buttress its Online Campaign Ratings (OCR), days after AOL said it would use the data as a first-of-its-kind carrot to attract more video advertising. Under the arrangement, Nielsen will meld data from AdSafe Media on whether a particular ad ran in a “safe” environment into the OCR system.

Nielsen executive Chris Louie said the integration offers OCR upgrades in terms of both “verification” and “viewability.” Advertisers can gain insight into whether an ad ran in a “brand-safe environment,” with OCR tracking the percent of ads running on sites deemed within an advertiser’s safety guidelines. The data can further yield information on the devices ads are viewed on and specifics about the content genre, such as news, entertainment, etc.

5 Ways Google Earns Money Off You

Smart Money 

The $10.6 billion first quarter revenue Google posted Thursday reflect the value of the data collected from consumers, experts say. “Whatever you post online, expect it to be used by companies to sell advertising,” says Rick Dakin, CEO of IT security business Coalfire. All the tidbits Google gleans from users of YouTube, Gmail, Google+ and other services boost the accuracy of the company’s targeted ads, and therefore, its revenue, says Michael Fertik, CEO and founder ofReputation.com, one of many new services designed to help consumers keep their web use anonymous. Advertising prices for “adword” or sponsored links are determined by an auction with 1 cent as the minimum bid, according to a Google spokesman.

Participants discussed topics including the structure of their own marketing programs; the role of content; challenges in integrating messaging across channels; and how marketers are using digital efforts — particularly mobile, social and video — separately and collectively to nurture engagement and further loyalty with customers.
