Bango today published a practical, ‘how to’ white paper on mobile advertising for agencies and digital marketers who want to move into mobile but need some help. The “Mobile advertising for newbies” white paper provides hints and tips on running mobile advertising campaigns and analyzes the approach and results of three real campaigns.

The white paper is available as a free download at http://www.bango.com/whitepaperand is written by mobile guru Peggy Anne Salz who is chief analyst and publisher of MSearchGroove.com.

“We want to dispel the myth that mobile advertising is hard and complex,” said Andy Bovingdon, VP Product Marketing at Bango. “While it does require some knowledge and expertise, this white paper is designed to guide readers through their first steps into mobile advertising. Author Peggy Anne Salz expertly shows us what’s involved in setting up campaigns and how easy and important it is to analyze results with a mobile analytics tool.”

To give marketers the inside track on how an actual campaign works, Bango created a small-scale mobile site called Mobislim (mobislim.wap.com) which is a light-hearted look at slimming diets. Marketers can also visit the accompanying Mobislim blog to see the three campaigns cited in the white paper. As the white paper is just the beginning of an ongoing investigation into mobile advertising, details of further ad campaigns will be detailed on the Mobislim blog and it’s here that people can feedback their own experiences.

“It has been said recently that the size of the mobile advertising market will likely underwhelm us in the near-term and overwhelm us in the mid to long-term,” said Peggy Anne Salz of MSearchGroove.com. “The market is clearly poised for significant growth, but only if the long tail of advertisers and publishers can get on board. They need a roadmap and this is why it’s critical to have a ‘how-to’ white paper at this juncture.”

Marketers can try out their own mobile advertising campaigns, directing traffic to the Mobislim mobile site if they don’t have one of their own. With a free Bango mobileanalytics account they will be able to measure how the different campaigns perform, see the number of unique visitors and where the traffic is coming from plus calculate the conversion rates for all their campaigns.

The world’s first fully-customisable online cap design studio, Designacap.com, became a reality yesterday and is the latest player in the hugely competitive custom promotional merchandise market.

Specialising in custom-designed headwear, the Australian-based new-comer has already caused a stir with arguably the most innovative online presence in its category. More than a simple online design application, designacap.com immerses users within the design experience, facilitating complete user interaction throughout the entire process.

The site allows users to select from a range of exclusive design templates and guides them though each step of the process. Visitors will notice that in addition to being able to adjust the color and text of the cap, they can now also customize stitch coloring and even upload their own images to be embroidered.

“We wanted to put this level of customisation within the reach of our customers without the need for them to contact suppliers directly”, said the company’s Managing Director, Gregg Warren. “We’ve achieved an interface that essentially replaces those annoying sales reps”.

Catering to the needs of general consumer groups, as well as larger businesses, sporting organisations, and multi-national corporations, the company differentiates itself from its more specialised competitors. “We definitely wanted to cater to widest audience possible”, added Warren, “And with a minimum order of 100 caps, we can easily do so”.

The company’s faster-than-average production and international delivery turnaround has also been a hot topic in industry circles. “We can have caps produced within 14 working days of receiving an order – turnaround of this speed is virtually unheard of in this industry”, asserted Warren.

“Our goal is to advance cash to any vehicle owner who needs extra cash,” says Martin Lander, the president of BHM Cash. “This will enable car owners to achieve their financial objectives by providing them with the money they need to help them get by.”

A car-title loan is a loan on which your car title is used as collateral. During the loan repayment period, the vehicle remains in the owner’s possession and in the owner’s name at all times, unless the loan cannot be paid as agreed upon in the contract.

“Car-title loans are a solution for circumstances when you are in need of money, but cannot secure it by alternate means,” says Martin Lander.

“Before you consider applying for a car-title loan, you should carefully consider whether this is the best solution for your financial needs.”

Latest research from bigmouthmedia has revealed that Britain’s biggest PR consultancies are failing to come to terms with the opportunities and challenges posed by the rapid growth in new media.

According to the new bigmouthmedia digital marketing news survey of Britain’s 100 leading press and public relations agencies, 79% of the industry’s major players have yet to develop a set of online and social media services.

Meanwhile - despite the steadily increasing importance of blogging as a media tool - the survey showed that a surprising 89% are still failing to publish their own blogs.

“In today’s media environment it is vital that businesses communicate online, and companies that choose to ignore this are running a major risk. Traditional PR tactics are not going to go away anytime soon, but it is essential for companies to integrate online PR and social media into their existing offline communications strategies,” said Lyndsay Menzies, Managing Director of Bigmouthmedia UK.

Commenting on the research Adam Parker, Chief Executive of online news distribution company webitpr, added: “Despite finding that an increasing number of UK PR professionals are on the ball when it comes to online PR this survey confirms our experience that a high proportion are still more focused on traditional media. However, given that this is most probably a reflection of client budget and resource allocations, perhaps what we should be asking ourselves is what this says about UK business’ attitude towards online communications.”

Flooding web pages with keywords is not only user-unfriendly; it’s also a waste of time. That was the message Search Engine Marketers William Leake and Kelly Meacham had for attendees of the 2007 South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Panel discussion “Making SEO and Usability Work Together.”

“When it comes to natural search results it’s really just a robot analyzing the HTML of a site, with external and internal links being much more important than the text on the page,” said Leake, CEO and President of Apogee Search. Both Leake and Meacham expressed the need for website content to be tailored to the user and not the search engine. “Keeping users engaged, ultimately keeps them satisfied,” Meacham added. “If a site is full of jargon serving as keyword density, a user’s interest and/or sales are lost.”

The SXSW Interactive Festival features five days of panels, keynote discussions, trade show and exhibition events. The wide variety of programming offered at SXSW Interactive in addition to the presence of SXSW Film and SXSW Music helps make it a completely original event. Together, Leake, and Meacham, have over two decades of SEO, web marketing, and website usability experience; and were happy to share their know-how to a room-overflowing crowd of 200+ people.

Attendance at the “Making SEO and Usability Work Together” power session was standing room only despite rainy weather conditions that dampened overall attendance that day. This impressive turnout reflects the intensity of interest in search engine marketing, as almost 90% of all websites are initially found through search engines. For those that missed the session, the SXSW website (www.sxsw.com) will be adding a podcast of the session in the near future.

As for better search engine optimization Leake stressed the importance of putting keywords within a website’s title tags and letting in-bound links serve as the main bait for the algorithm robots. He explained this strategy by saying, “Google’s search algorithms are constantly changing, and keyword density is only a small portion – typically no more than six percent — of what drives those algorithm. Therefore, the most sure-fire way to keep up with their changing patterns is to always have a wide variety of outside sites linked to your site.” Afterwards Leake closed the session by saying, “A proper site is one designed for humans and not robots. So if you want it to rank high and still be user-friendly, write fluidly and link constantly.”
