While most of the national economic forecasts call for a recession later this year, many businesses have already seen a downturn in new customers and recurring business over the last six months. How can businesses cut costs while maintaining crucial advertising campaigns at the same time? Interactive advertising is all the rage but the specter of click fraud still remains. Traditional media is feeling the cascading pinch as businesses are hesitant to advertise in a troubled economy. According to recent data released by the Newspaper Association of America, total print advertising revenue in 2007 plunged 9.4% to $42 billion compared to 2006 , the most severe percentage decline in over 50 years.

“The drop-off points to an economic slowdown on top of the secular challenges faced by the industry,” said Jennifer Saba of Editor & Publisher. “The second worst decline in advertising revenue occurred in 2001 when it fell 9.0%.” According to Saba, the growth in online advertising for Newspapers could not stave off the losses in print. National print advertising revenue dropped 6.7% to $7 billion last year. Retail ads slipped 5% to $21 billion. Classified ads plunged 16.5% to $14.1 billion.“I think we have the answer for traditional print and media,” said Clarence Briggs, CEO of tyBit,Inc. (www.tyBit.com/?pdkw=alt-traditional-media-prp-04-01-2008 ).

“Over the past two years we have been building and rebuilding tyBit, and end of second quarter we are making tyBit 1.0 available to the public. The ad module Beta has been a success using over 5,000 advertisers serving millions of ads per day. The last Beta before releasing tyBit 1.0 is the Partner Beta and for that we have 3 large partners and 80 search affiliates.” Partners who have existing web properties with eyeballs will be able to sign up and manage their own advertisers who can run PPC and KWR interactive ad campaigns, said Company officials. “I have been one of the Beta advertisers,” said Wally Bell. “I am extremely impressed with the tyBit ad module, reports and results of my online PPC campaigns. It is easier to use that Google’s ad module and more flexible because I can make and serve my own video ads.” Company officials indicate that over the past 90 days usage of the tyBit search engine has grown exponentially doubling each month. This metric reflects the actual searches conducted by subscribers using the ultra-fast client-side search engine.

The success of tyBit search usage is supported by industry analysis conducted by the Center for Media Research. In numerous reports covering various interactive market segments from media buyers, women over the age of 45, social networking communities, wealthy and minority households, and the political advertising industry has grown far beyond expectations. Gary Drenik, President of BIGresearch, concludes, “It’s no longer enough for marketers to advertise only a slogan…(they) need to better understand the changing dynamics of the consumer media market and develop new marketing plans that integrate new media to replace the erosion of traditional media…” Company officials claim that tyBit is the cutting edge of the new media with over 100 partners in its pipeline representing 60 million users.

Why is tyBit a better advertising network? The industry’s excitement is due to the value for the advertiser’s dollar. The new media industry watchdogs estimate that up to 35% of all PPC traffic is artificially generated, AKA Click Fraud. tyBit delivers fast, relevant, secure, search results with little or no click fraud in its PPC platform, and none in the Global Keyword Registry. tyBit also delivers the features that subscribers want with more to come such as fully integrated secure mail, comparison shopping and a social networking platform, in addition to the ability to distribute text, video and audio ads that are keyword relevant. tyBit is making interactive advertising affordable for small businesses as well as larger enterprises who spend billions each online year. “Until the end of May, anyone can advertise for free in tyBit simply by signing up,” said Kitti Jo Finch, GM for tyBit. “Once 1.0 goes live in June this year, we will begin to charge for advertising in tyBit. We know that we have produced the most relevant, powerful and cost-effective interactive advertising in the industry.”

tyBit is affiliated with AIT ( www.AIT.com/?pdkw=alt-traditional-media-prp-04-01-2008 ) a web hosting and domain registration company that has achieved 12 straight years of sustained profitability and has generated $100s of millions in revenue while creating a profound economic influence on its surrounding community. AIT has been named 2 times to the Inc. 500 list of fast growing firms, 3 times to the Deloitte & Touche Fast 500 list, and has been previously named as the NC Entrepreneur Firm of the Year.

WOODLAND HILLS, CA – Gumiyo and Target Media Partners announced today their partnership to launch printed and online classifieds onto consumers’ mobile phones. Being the first to combine print and online classified advertising on this scale, together with the exponential increase in the usage of text messaging and the mobile Web, Gumiyo and Target Media Partners executives expect the partnership to increase the value of classified ads as well as response rates.

Gumiyo provides a leading platform that matches and connects buyers and sellers by extending classifieds, marketplaces, and businesses to mobile phones. Target Media Partners is the leading independent print and online publisher of local classified and used vehicle photo advertising, information, and employment advertising for truck drivers.

Gumiyo’s private label platform is designed to import, format, and synchronize listings into a mobile Web version of any of Target Media Partners over 100 publications and 40 websites. Advertisers can opt to include additional images and extended descriptions that would not otherwise fit in the limited space provided by printed publications. As listings are uploaded to the mobile platform they are assigned a unique identifier that buyers can use to access those listings on their mobile phones with the simple text message. As a result, buyers can get a great deal more information about a listing and connect with the advertiser via email, text message, or a live phone call directly from the ad.

“Our relationship with Gumiyo,” said Target Media Partners CEO and co-founder Mark Schiffmacher, “is the future of printed and online classifieds and we will continue to offer the best service available to our advertisers and readers. For example, over the next few months our millions of print and online local readers will have a have dramatically new access to information about whatever they are looking to buy or sell. Likewise millions of long haul truckers will have instant access to jobs from anywhere, at any time.”

Shuki Lehavi, CEO and co-founder of Gumiyo, states, “Target Media Partners is exactly for whom we designed the Gumiyo mobile platform. We’ve built our system to be as flexible and turnkey as possible to accommodate classified listings across multiple categories. In fact, from day one we saw the mobile phone revolutionizing the way advertisers could reach buyers anytime and from anywhere. Buyers are not always in front of a computer and they’ll not always remember a Web address they saw somewhere. However, they almost always have their cell phones with them and they’re always turned on.”

Leading ad agencies and advertisers are now using the Turn Smart Market to purchase inventory from high-quality publishers because it delivers the best combination of performance, control, and insight compared to traditional ad networks and manual exchanges.

AdAgencyOnline.Net uses their blog talk radio shows on AutoAdCreative.Com to host open business meetings and to feature worthy auto dealers using the internet in new ways.

Automotive advertising agencies are constantly challenged by their auto dealer clients to leverage their automotive advertising dollars. AutoAdCreative.Com, under the direction of Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C., followed their lead. AutoAdCreative.Com took their free automotive advertising resource portal to a new level when they began hosting their “Lunch With Phil” and “Dealer Spotlight” shows on their online station – WAAC, All Automotive News, All The Time.

AdAgencyOnline.Net already links their affiliated independent automotive advertising agencies and preferred auto industry vendors online using their proprietary internet based operating system with an integrated communication and distribution system. The recent addition of their co-sponsored free automotive advertising resource portal, www.autoadcreative.com, opened up new opportunities to bring in their present and pending auto dealer clients.

Mr. Zelinger explained the new opportunity that blog talk radio has offered him to pass on cutting edge technologies and best practices to his affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer clients, “We always used the internet to host our internal communication and distribution system. The recent link with AutoAdCreative.Com was intended to attract new business by offering free creative concepts and auto industry news using blog talk radio and an online Dealer 20+ group. Auto industry vendors like Gumiyo, LeadConverter, Ai Dealer, BZ Results, LaserStream Video, NeoSynergy – “Best Deals” & “”Buy Direct”, Kihon Media, CarFolks.Com and 800RESPONSE shared the vision and joined us as preferred vendors after meeting our criteria for consideration by our auto dealer clients. We began using our “Lunch With Phil Show” as an open business meeting because we were adding vendors too fast to pass on individual inter-office memos and our auto dealer audience loved the ability to “listen in” to new opportunities almost as fast as they were added! The “Dealer Spotlight” was an idea that stemmed from our addition of CarFolks.Com, a consumer social networking site for the auto industry. We promote CarFolks.Com as a new channel for automotive advertising agencies to spotlight their auto dealer clients in a free consumer driven portal and the new show features auto dealers that understand the power of the internet to communicate to their customers on many levels.”

Hal Howard, Dealer Principal at Goldsboro Chrysler Dodge Jeep, was the first invited guest and he was quick to comment on his appreciation for being recognized, “Philip Zelinger has always been ahead of the curve when counseling me to use new technologies, applications and processes and he dragged me kicking and screaming onto the internet. His suggestions have always been spot on! As a result of his multi-channel branding of my dealership, including the internet as a core media, we now reach customers as far as an hour away in Raleigh. I was proud to be recognized as someone who listened.”

WAAC – blog talk radio airs shows weekdays from 12:00 noon to 1:00 PM EST. Previous shows are stored on the site, www.autoadcreative.com, and they act as a library of information for affiliated automotive advertising agencies and auto dealer’s visiting the site. The portal is opened to the public and platforms cutting edge technologies and applications that promise to blur the line between the real and the virtual world. AutoAdCreative.Com is billed as a “One Stop Site For All Of Your Auto Dealership’s Needs” and they seem to have earned the title with the addition of blog talk radio.

Necedah, WI-U Choose Network has announced the launch of a nationwide digital ad content delivery service. Digital signage is the most effective and fastest-growing form of advertising today. But the digital signage industry grew so quickly with no “master plan,” that it soon became fragmented — much like a city that grows too quickly with no city planner. In order to get their content on digital signs in a particular region, advertisers and agencies had to contact a myriad of sign owners individually; nationwide coverage was next to impossible.

In response to the market, U Choose Network (UCN) of Necedah, Wis. is introducing a one-of-a-kind nationwide network that allows advertisers to have access to digital signs nationwide from a single Web-hosted portal. The company is offering a free orientation Webinar at 1 p.m. CST on Feb. 27 to show advertisers and agencies how the UCN works and how they can make it work for their clients.

Advertisers or agencies sign up with the UCN and log onto the UCN portal from any Internet-connected computer to upload their content in digital file form. They choose geographically where they would like their ad to run, what types of locations or businesses may display it, what dates they would like their ad to run, and they set their own CPM. Then they set a maximum budget for each campaign.

Sign owners log onto the UCN portal to see the ads available to their businesses. They can select the content that will help them sell more products in their stores, or choose the content that pays the most. As they choose the ads they would like to run on their signs, they see a running total of how much they will get paid for the ads. This gives sign owners two of the things they want most from their digital signage — cash and control.

Once they download an ad, it must run for the duration they set, and the UCN monitors the ads to ensure they are displaying correctly.

Advertisers are billed only for the locations that download their ad, and only after it is verified that their ad did indeed run on the sign. Advertisers or agencies can watch this in real time on their UCN portal.

The beauty of the UCN for advertisers is that their ad dollars are going to the people who actually sell the products – the retailers!

“Nothing builds retailer loyalty faster than incentive programs,” said David Van Meter, UCN President. “UCN is the ultimate retailer incentive program, where your advertising dollars are your incentive.”

UCN is available to anyone with a digital sign or digital signage system. Sign owners purchase a simple piece of hardware, connect it to the Internet and to their screen, and they can immediately begin to earn money through their digital signs.

The UCN is the first network of its kind since the advent of digital signage, and it is available to every digital signage network in the nation. It offers sign owners what they want — cash and control. It offers advertisers and agencies what they want – coverage and proof-of-play. In addition, the primary need of both advertisers and retailers – increased sales – is satisfied.

To find out more about the UCN or to register for the free Webinar, log onto www.ucnmedia.com or call toll-free 866-450-4442.
