Audio, Video and Contextual advertising

Since advertising is so essential for building up an effective marketing strategy, the companies and advertisers are always on the lookout for novelty and innovation.  You have several types of advertising processes right from the traditional print media and vehicle advertising to the latest Internet Advertising.  The web advertising is now taking a new dimension with both Online Video Advertising as well as other types of advertising becoming contextual. 

When the advertising agencies made a comprehensive research on the consumer behavior and viewers attitude towards different types of advertising processes, it was found that most of the viewers prefer the short online video and audio advertising.  In fact in the process of Online Audio Advertising and Pay Per Play Advertising they prefer the online audio though they may not prefer the pay per play advertising as much. 

Results of such research have sufficiently established the requirements of streamlined and targeted advertising that would also be non-intrusive.  One interesting point that came up as result of the research is that consumer attention to online video is much less compared to the online audio.  The audio-video ration is 3:1.  They also like to play both the video and audio contents online rather than download them.  

Contrary to your belief you will be surprised to find that many viewers do not tend to be irritated by the Contextual Advertising while surfing the net like they get irritated with the unsolicited messages in their mobile phone and cell phone.  The only part of the contextual advertising disliked are pop ups. That is why many search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN and others have added the feature of pop-up blocker in their software.
