Banner Ads Come to Verizon Mobile

Look out for bannerads on your mobiles as Verizon take the the initative and place banners on on news, weather, sports and other websites that users visit via their Verizon mobile phones.

Read the full article here on Marketing Vox. There's also an atricle about Yahoo! dipping their toes into this area too.

This will be far more to do with branding and less to do with CTR. Which I think is a good step in thinking for banner advertising.

Virgin Say Yes Viral

Virgin should have known better and was even warned by Rob Manual that a promotion on B3ta.com would not go to plan.

The promotion was an extention of their "Say Yes" campaign and they asked B3ta users to photoshop "What would happen if you said yes to everything." The best entries woudl win an XBOX360. Foolish earthlings :)

Here's a bit of the fallout on the B3ta boards and and article in the Guardian here.

And for those unfamilar with B3ta, here is just one person,s contributions to the site. Pure genious.

Do Google and Youtube think I speak Mandarin? I'd had already logged into my account and entered all the relative geo location data and I still see ads like this. I guess this is why companies pay per click with Google.
