Online Advertising Campaigns Fail For 3 Main Reasons

There is a fine line between success and failure in the digital marketing industry.
Ensure your brand strategy is primed for prosperity by avoiding these mistakes in your next campaign.
Whether people are browsing websites from their mobile phones, checking the news on portable tablets, or buying products online, it cannot be disputed that everyone is spending more time online.
The Internet has never been more convenient than it is today, and just about everyone looks for information online.
Hence, online advertising is an important part of any contemporary marketing strategy.
Yet despite the effective reach of online marketing, there are still ways in which an online advertising campaign can fail.
Here are three of the reasons why your strategy may not go according to plan.
1. You're Just Copying Your
Competitors
One of the best things that you can do to generate ideas for your own marketing campaign when you're just getting started is to research your competitors and study what they've been doing. However, getting inspiration from people in the same market doesn't mean you should simply copy and paste their ideas onto your own website. What works perfectly for your competitors won't always work quite as well for you.
The truth is that most marketing channels are already overly-saturated, making PPC campaigns incredibly expensive for broad
keywords and phrases. With this in mind,you'll need to think outside of the box for marketing methods that aren't quite as easy to copy.
For instance, you could try combining your banner advertisements and social media marketing schemes with content
production to generate more traffic. With content marketing, you can analyze the things that matter most to your audience
and offer them potential solutions to their problems. This lets you develop an authoritative position within your market, and establish yourself as a location that offers value.
2. Your Advertisements Aren't
Consumable
Today, a great deal of online marketing success comes through social media. If your ideas, messages, banners, and landing pages can't be translated and
shared through blog posts, videos, and tweets, then you may need to scrap your current plan and start over from scratch.
Advertising yourself doesn't have to be a lengthy process involving huge blocks of text. Grabbing your audience's attention can be done in as little as 140 characters, if you know how to generate interest properly.
Also, remember that most people are currently browsing the Internet via smartphones. In fact, mobile media usage is at 51 percent, making it more popular
than desktops at only 42 percent. With that in mind, any of the creative content, ads, and banners that you develop and post should be able to function just as well on a smartphone screen as they would on a laptop or desktop.
If the way that you market yourself isn't optimized to fit on all different shapes and screen sizes, chances are, you are losing out on a significant percentage of possible
future customers. Indeed, an easy way to immediately shut the door on new relationships with customers is to provide links that send mobile users directly to desktop websites where they can't click buttons or fill out forms.
3. You're Focusing on Traffic
Instead of Conversions
After getting in touch with a professional online marketer, you might find that the first thing they try to sell you on is how much extra traffic they can send toward your website or landing pages. Although
traffic is important for developing a positive online presence, it's crucial to remember that the ultimate goal should be conversions - not traffic.
Traffic is all well and good, but it's useless to find that you've had thousands of people visit your website within a day, if none of them purchased your product or
signed up for your newsletter. Remember that traffic doesn't necessarily equate to profits and increased revenue.
Online advertising campaigns shouldn't just focus on driving traffic. Rather,optimizing conversion rates should be priority. Ideally, you want to ensure that people are actually completing the desired action when they arrive on your website or landing page. All the attention in the world is futile if you can't translate the number of views your website gets into an actual profit.
Your advertising efforts will not be in vain if you create innovative content that can translate well on both mobile and desktop, and is creatively executed in a manner that incites user engagement and
ultimately stimulates conversions. Making note of these common missteps and being aware of their potentially damaging consequences will put you on the path to success.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings. And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it? With the evolution of SERP features, it’s critical that you (a) track your rankings within...
