The first question – Which ad sizes are rising in popularity?

I suppose any size of ad is fine with me as long as it performs. There are a lot of considerations when it comes to choosing the best ad size. As much as publishers like to choose the biggest ad size so that people will notice and click it, publishers have to make sure that the ad blends right into the blog or website. Publishers also have to make sure that the big ad size does not take up too much space from the content. Remember that Google latest search algorithm update requires site to show more content then ads on initial display in order to receive a better search ranking position.

The second question – Is the mobile web really a big deal?

Google think so and so am I. But whether or not publishers can make money via Google Adsense remains a big question. Mobile market is still a new area fills with lots of uncertainties. I suppose this is the reason why it holds lots of money making opportunities waiting for to be discovered.

The third question – Which sites are showing strong impression growth?

It is good to know which categories or areas hold the hot Niches. This way publisher can either choose less popular niches to avoid competition or pick the hottest niches and take up the challenge. But still it is better to choose topics which you are interested and passionate to work on. Only by this way your site can be unique and stand out differently from others.

The fourth question – Where in the world are you?

I think most publishers know that high paid clicks come from US. This is the reason why most publishers focus their site for US viewers.

As I mentioned in my previous blog post “The Reason Why Facebook Ads is not working for GM”, Facebook is not design to help users search for products and services. Facebook is an online social network which enables users to connect and hang out with friends and families. Facebook just does not have the characteristic which advertisement can blend in and bring benefits to users. It’s kind of like a salesman going door to door promoting sales. As for the case with Facebook, although users’ interest and hobby are known, it is still not sure if users are comfortable to have advertisement around, even if the ads are similar categories of their hobby or interest. This is the reason why some users choose to install ad blocking software. It’s like placing a notice at the front door saying “No salesperson or promoter allow”

The biggest asset Facebook has is the huge number of users. In order to survive, Facebook has to find a way to generate income by connecting Facebook users with products and services. The advertising method has to be redesign so that it will not push users away but instead helping users to fulfill their needs. The answer lies within users’ daily activity. Facebook just have to monitor closely and discover it. Businesses and sales are driven by population. People are starting to use Facebook as a tool for business and sale. Facebook just have to study these activities and design a systematic service to make business and sale easier. I suppose this is one of the clues for Facebook to come out with a unique advertising method which works well for social networking site. Although Facebook is focusing on mobile advertising, Facebook still needs to break free from old fashion online advertising method in order to be success.

P/S: I just wonder how GM justified Facebook ads are not working for them. Unless automobiles can be purchase online or getting discounts online using emails or click to call, I don’t see how GM can keep track of the number sales due to Facebook ads.

As far as mobile phone users’ concern, the mobile app needs to be easy to use without having the trouble of going through the user’s guide. And the respond of the mobile apps must be fast and result oriented. In other words, the mobile apps must be able to provide the best and suitable result fast. And finally the mobile apps must not give any trouble or difficulties to user. Sudden increase of mobile internet fee, software problems, emails and advertisement spams due to the installation of mobile apps will force user to remove it.

If you plan to design mobile apps, it is best to compare your work with Google Search app or other popular app created by top website company. At least it will keep you on the right track of design.

Mobile advertising is going to be tough for Facebook to generate large revenue. The money earn might not be enough to justify the $16 billion IPO. If mobile ads is not working as good as it expected, what alternative action Facebook can take? Well, Facebook might impose member fees just like Linkedin. Paid account will have additional features and upgraded performance compare to free account. Facebook might also invest on gaming just like Farmville. As Facebook will be focusing on improving mobile app, games can be design under mobile app platform.

I’m sure we will see lots of changes from Facebook in couple of months. I just hope that the changes are not surrounded by the intention of justifying the $16 billion IPO and trying to increase the price of the share. But when changes took place, lots of money making opportunities arise. We just have to monitor closely and capture the opportunity.
