Market on the web forms and web continues to evolve to warp - speed we see some negative and positive changes that occur - our observations du jour:
1 Editors are finally starting to charge for the content of the mark.It is still difficult to do, but we are seeing many editors bulletin 30-100 $ to Subscriber loading anuales.Y, most importantly, many people eventually are beginning to accept the need to pay for quality content.
2. Contrary to popular opinion, epicentre of the web is not San Francisco, Tokyo, Washington D.C./northern VA, Seattle, London or Austin.No... There is no epicenter is everywhere. We now have over 427 million (Dataquest & Nua) people using the web and its become really a road Headquarters/information media and global marketing.
3. More good news for ecommerce-enabled business models. Recent published reports (Boston Consulting Group and eShop) indicate that customer acquisition costs have dropped from $45 per individual client in 2000 to $18 Q-4 Q-1 in 2001.
4 Adobe continues to push the PDF as a standard web format. More 32% of corporate web sites today have their websites that enables Acrobat PDF. (Why should never know ()?), because it is not a standard HTML but was originally developed to facilitate printing of documents.And does not work well in many places on the web, especially for those who come with slow connections or when you try to view more than a couple of pages.
5. Surprise, surprise!Welcome pages continue to grow in popularity, with 18% of websites today incorporate them. Let us be clear: we think are really lame (to use a technical term marketing) .Ellos slowdown the user experience and cause many people to click away from a web site in trouble with no score and no return visits.
6 Opt-in e-mail continues to grow in popularity and to reflect the ability of the web to manage rich media content.The HTML markup is quickly becoming the standard in many email campaigns and we are starting to view streaming audio and video plug in components (run in the background) and even integrated voice mail, as recently announced by YesMail last month.However, to see the conversion rates fall; opt-in e-mail is in danger of becoming advertising banner this year.
7 Newsletters have become major forms of communicating with customers, generate revenues through inserts ad and the unity of a brand in the market.There are now ASP (application service provider) solutions be brought to market by Microsoft and many others that allow a small or large company to manage all aspects of marketing bulletin via a browser.
8. No secret website is gone madurando.Ha a firestorm of media weeks how only four (AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo and Napster) companies under the command of approximately 50% of total traffic on the disturbing web.Más to those of us not with the above-mentioned companies (sidebar: I am sure that Steve Case and Bob Pittman are happy), eleven companies commanded this percentage about a year ago.
9. The traditional media is experiencing the same market that have gone to his recent Newsweek, Der Stern interactiva.Vistazo advertising agencies fall time, Business 2.0, backwards, Fast Company, or Wired and you'll see that they would make Jenny Craig proud - who have lost much weight of ad.
10. Pop-ups, popovers, popunders - whatever term you want to use for those annoying interstitial ad types continue to implement increasingly more web.Pensamos sites which are only bad marketing and are being used by sites or companies that not can learn how to generate revenue with content (see # 1) or, say it, i.e., actual services!
