Ad Tracking Increases Your Profits
By Stephen Pope
How do you know whether your advertising is effective or not? The answer is to track advertising response for each ad you run.

Whether you operate a retail store, a service business, a mail order operation, or an marketing business, you can measure the effectiveness of your advertising.

1. Which Publications Produce Profits?

When new customers phone or visit you, ask how they found out about you. They might say they found you through your yellow pages ad or your newspaper ad.

Record the responses and resulting sales from each ad. Then, analyze whether each particular advertisement is producing the desired results.

If an advertisement consistently produces profits for you, keep running it. On the other hand, if an ad consistently performs poorly or produces a loss, discontinue it.

In mail order, you can key each ad so that you can measure the resulting sales from each publication.

For example, you could add "Dept. A" to your name or address in the ad to indicate the July issue of a particular magazine. Key it as "Dept. B" for the August issue of the same magazine. "Dept. C" could indicate the July issue of a different magazine you advertise in.

Thus, as orders come in, you can track the response and sales made from each advertisement. From that information, you can easily determine the profitability of your ad in each publication.

2. Which Ads

Produce Profits?

Not only can ad tracking show you which publications are profiitable to advertise in, but it will also help you measure the effectiveness of the ads themselves.

If you change your ad, and the results for the new ad are consistently better or worse, you can take the appropriate action; either continue or discontinue the advertisement.

Change only one element in an ad at a time.

For example, if you decide to change the price, don't change the headline. Otherwise, you won't know if the difference in results was due to the changed price or the changed headline. For greater certainty, change only one thing at a time when testing your ads.

On the Internet, you can use tracking software and services that will aid you to determine the source of your sales and the effectiveness of your advertising, article writing, and other activities.

So, whether you operate a retail store, a service business, a mail order operation, or an marketing business, use ad tracking for increased profits.About The Author: Stephen Pope, President of Pope Consulting Inc., has been helping clients to earn maximum business profits for over twenty-five years.

Suspension de labonnement internet
<a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20080618-france-try-web-subscription-suspension-against-piracy-internet">"There is no reason that the Internet should be lawless,"</a> President Nicolas Sarkozy told his cabinet, as <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/acteurs/biographie_5/christine_albanel_ministre_culture_56390.html">Culture Minister Christine Albanel </a>presented <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/chantiers/culture_851/lutter_telechargement_illegal_oeuvres_1072/christine_albanel_presente_projet_60336.html">a new bill </a>designed to encourage responsible use of the Internet. The legislation would set up a new administrative body that would receive complaints from the music and film industry and track down offenders through Internet service providers. An e-mail warning would be sent to suspected downloaders followed by a registered letter. After two strikes, offenders would risk losing their Internet subscription for up to a year. "We know that we are not going to eradicate piracy 100 percent, but we think that we can reduce it significantly," Albanel told a news conference. Minister of Culture and Communication, Christine Albanel, has made <a href="http://www.ifacca.org/national_agency_news/2008/05/26/albanel-celebrates-french-spirit-responsibility/">the French spirit of responsibility</a> a cornerstone of her portfolio. The new bill follows agreements signed on the 23 November 2007 at the Elys&#0233;e Palace, in the presence of the President of the Republic,<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> by 47 businesses and organisations representing cinema, music and television, and also by all the Internet service providers, </a>who the Minister has compelled to fulfil the agreement. Firstly, the Minister<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> revealed </a>that 74% of French people are in favour of the mechanism of the bill, which would, in the first instance, consist of sending numerous educational advertisement messages to Internet users who use their Internet connection to pirate works. Then, in the case of this behaviour being repeated, the temporary suspension of Internet access. The Minister also revealed that the projected mechanism will be useful from the preventative phase, since 90% of French people would stop downloading after two advertisements. This study also shows the adherence of the majority of French people to the defence of the right of the author, without which ‘creation’ would have its existence threatened, against those who support openly the law of the jungle and permissiveness on the Internet.

Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.
<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/publications/2008/Mapping_Irans_Online_Public">Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.</a> From the abstract: <blockquote>We used computational social network mapping in combination with human and automated content analysis to analyze the Iranian blogosphere. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that Iranian bloggers are mainly young democrats critical of the regime, we found a wide range of opinions representing religious conservative points of view as well as secular and reform-minded ones, and topics ranging from politics and human rights to poetry, religion, and pop culture. Our research indicates that the Persian blogosphere is indeed a large discussion space of approximately 60,000 routinely updated blogs featuring a rich and varied mix of bloggers. Social network analysis reveals the Iranian blogosphere to be dominated by four major network formations, or poles, with identifiable sub-clusters of bloggers within those poles. We label the poles as 1) Secular/Reformist, 2) Conservative/Religious, 3) Persian Poetry and Literature, and 4) Mixed Networks.</blockquote>
