Google Display Network

/ Monday, February 27, 2012 /

What is the Google Network?

The Google Network is a large group of websites and other products, such as email programs and blogs, who have partnered with Google to display AdWords ads. Advertisers have the option of running their ads on Google as well as the Google Network for no extra cost.

AdWords ads are placed based either on searches or website content, so the Google Network has two components: the Search Network and the Display Network.

Who's part of the Google Network?

Google is always expanding the number of sites and products in the network through premium services, online Google AdSense program, and DoubleClick Ad Exchange. Participating websites must adhere to Google AdSense standards.

Keyword-targeted ads

Besides appearing on search results on Google, AdWords advertisers are automatically eligible to have their campaigns with keywords appear on the Google Network.

The Google Search Network

Ads are targeted based on a user's search terms. For example, if someone searches for "Italian coffee" on a search engine powered by Google, such as AOL.com, the user will see related coffee ads next to, above, or below search results, or on pages related to the user's search.

The Google Display Network

Text, image, video, or rich media ads are targeted based on themes in your keyword list, rather than specific keywords. You can target websites that have partnered with Google (display partners), YouTube, and specific Google properties.

QR Codes tracking for Analytics

/ Friday, February 10, 2012 /
Are you using QR codes to bring your offline potential customers to your website, facebook page, or any other online service? Cool, but,... you probably want to know how effective are your QR code campaigns to bring traffic to your online world.

First a general video on how to measure QR codes with Google Analytics.
Second, read the instructions how to setup the tracking of QR code users in Google Analytics.

Overview on Tracking Analytics for QR Code Scans





Instructions to track QR Code scans with Google Analytics

With Google Analytics (and probably many other analytics tools) you can put tracking codes directly into the QR Code and track when users scan the code.

Below is a step by step guide to tracking QR Codes in Google Analytics.

1. Choose the URL that you would like the QR code that you are generating to return once scanned.

Example: www.oxondigital.co.uk/register/

2. Now create your campaign tracking code that you will use to identify the traffic that you receive from the different marketing activity you are running.

You can do that by either using the Google URL Builder tool or my GDocs campaign tracking spreadsheet.

Example:

Campaign Source: University-Flyer
Campaign Medium: QR
*Campaign Content:
Campaign Name: OxonDigital4

This will provide you with the following URL to use:

http://www.oxondigital.co.uk/register/?utm_source=university-flyer&utm_medium=qr&utm_campaign=oxondigital4

*Using the campaign content tag you can differentiate between the ads. In the example above I could have used the Campaign Content to differentiate between the different campuses (Wheatley, Headington, Botley).

3. Now that you have your URL with the correct tracking code, you need to find a QR Code generator.

For example:

- http://createqrcode.appspot.com/
- http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
- http://goqr.me/

The example below shows the outcome of what we have just created. Give it a try by scanning the QR Code on your smart phone.

4. Now place the QR code on the relevant marketing material that you are going to distribute.

5. To see the results of the tracking code, you need to go to Traffic Sources > Campaigns




6. Inverstigate further into your analytics to see metrics such as types of devices and locations.

To do this you will need to create an advanced segment or two. This can be done in a number of ways, two of which I have shown below.

Segment 1

Include > Metric = Medium > Exactly Matches > Campaign Medium (QR)


This segment will bring back results that were generated using the campaign medium name of QR.

Segment 2

If you are using lots of different QR Codes you might want to split them by campaign name and campaign medium to delve into the specific marketing channel at the time.

Include > Metric = Medium > Exactly Matches > Campaign Medium (QR)

AND

Include > Metric = Campaign > Exactly Matches > Campaign Name (OxonDigital4)




Once you have created your segments, you will be able to delve further into the data you have received.





The above shows you how you can track your QR code. So whether you put them on a poster, event ticket, t-shirt or coffee cup, you will be able to see what traffic they have generated to your targeted page and/or website.

Viral videos for marketing - Walk on water

/ Friday, February 3, 2012 /
I think the video made by the sport shoes company Hi-Tec its a very good example how things made with creativity and imagination can have huge impact in marketing.

The cost of doing this particular video probably was not that high if we look the footage. Here the interesting thing is how they use some funny story to present in a very subtle way the Hi-Tech shoes.

The following video is the one produced by Hi-Tec and uploades in YouTube. Have fun :)
