The Art of Online Advertising
8K posts
Online advertising is all around us. Sometimes it's discrete, and sometimes it's in your face. Sometimes it's helpful, and sometimes it's annoying. As the web continues to evolve into a completely free service, sponsored only by advertisers, so too does the integrated complexity of online advertising. The purpose of this post is to explore the art of online advertising by looking at human nature with respect to both the general public and advertisers. In the early days of the internet, people had to pay for pretty much everything. Can you imagine having to pay for an online directory? AOL did. And they made a lot of money from it too. Paying for services like online directories was very short lived however, due to the human nature of competition. In the mid 90's, a couple of college students created a free online directory of their favorite websites, and later added search capabilities. It was a little project called Yahoo. As other free services began to emerge in order to compete with paid services, the free services began to take over the internet, resulting in the web that we know and love today. In one of my previous articles, How online advertisers sponsor the internet, I discussed how most of the major websites we use today are free services that earn revenue from online advertisers. That being said, it's interesting to see how different business models support online advertising. To really understand how online advertising fits into the world wide web, it's important to realize what the general public wants and expects out of their internet experience, and what online advertisers want and expect out of ad-driven websites.
