AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.
It has been projected that interactive marketing spending will hit the $61 billion mark by 2012. With this much competition, a brand needs to make sure the dollars it invests in interactive marketing are well spent or risk being lost in the growing ad clutter. To help ensure its ad money won’t be wasted, a brand needs a blueprint to follow in order to guide it to interactive marketing success.
