Thomas Rosch Room 528 600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20580 Dear Chairman Majoras: The online marketplace, which now accounts for over $100 billion in U.S. e-commerce 1 sales annually, has evolved rapidly over the past decade.1 The policies governing consumer privacy on the Internet have failed to keep pace with the developments that continue to re-shape the online world, however. Privacy policies designed for a largely static, text-based World Wide Web offer little protection in the dynamic Web of the present, in which both rich-media content, and the array of sophisticated marketing technologies designed to support that content, are assembled and re-assembled on the fly, customized and targeted for the user. Many of these data collection techniques, automated and operating in real time, are based on sophisticated algorithms that analyze user behavior online—down to the level of "micro-actions"—and shape content and advertising accordingly. For example, as Touch Clarity (a developer of consumer profiling software tools) explains, its Behavioral Targeting technology "is essentially … an automated process of intelligent listening and responding, working with each individual visitor, based upon everything they have expressed through their click-stream interactions … to-date.

  • (PPC) Advertising Audit
    How to Do Your Own Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising Audit A Hands-On Guide Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is a moving target. A pay-per-click (PPC) advertising audit gives you a competitive edge in a dynamic environment. You’re competing to attract well-targeted visitors who will convert to leads, sales and ROI in a constantly changing environment. To meet customer’s search expectations, your products, promotions and marketing strategies need to evolve, requiring the creation of new campaigns. Your limited PPC budget needs to have the most impact. And, of course, search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo! regularly move the goal posts to keep offerings fresh and thwart marketers who try to game the system. Did you have some initial success when you first set up your PPC accounts on Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Microsoft Advertising (Formerly Bing Ads. And did you know Yahoo! advertising is now part of Microsoft Advertising?) Then, after a while as your PPC campaigns grew there was no improvement or even a decline in results? It could be you’re making a series of small mistakes that get magnified over time. A PPC advertising audit identifies tweaks that can improve your campaigns. All these are good reasons to conduct regular PPC audits. In this Hands-On Guide we’ll show you what to look for, and also walk you through improving two of the major areas that most audits identify for improvement: Quality Score and Ad Extensions. TIP: Your account should be up and running for at least three months— and ideally six months—so you’ll have meaningful data for your first audit.

  • IAB Guidelines for the Conduct of Ad Verification
    Interactive Advertising Bureau Guidelines for the Conduct of Ad Verification February 14, 2012 Media Rating Council (MRC) Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Guidelines for the Conduct of Ad Verification 2 Final – Version 1 Background Consistent and accurate execution of Internet advertising campaign parameters is critical for continued acceptance and growth of Internet advertising. This document establishes a detailed set of methods and common practices for ad verification, which is a service focused on determining appropriate execution of Internet advertising campaigns. Key service lines of ad verification are stated and defined in these guidelines as well as accepted methods for each area. Generally, the combination of measurement certification (of ad servers, publishers and ad-networks, etc.) coupled with appropriate ad verification are considered good practices for providing assurance to marketers and their agency partners about the execution of Internet advertising campaigns. Measurement certification is covered by other pre-existing IAB guidelines, such as those for Ad Impressions, Clicks, Rich Media, Rich Internet Applications and Audience Reach Measurements. These guidelines contain guidance that is valuable to the practice of ad verification and should be incorporated wherever applicable by the verification vendor. This document is intended to provide information to verification vendors and other users of verification services (both buyer-side and seller-side) to ensure a common understanding of existing practices, transparency and other general principles involved in campaign assessments. The guidelines contained in this document originated from a project led by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and facilitated by the Media Rating Council (MRC), with the participation of a large group of ad verification vendors, publishers, ad-servers, ad-networks, advertising agencies, and other interested organizations.
