Online investment increase in 2013

According to one of the last posts published in the specialized website Adlatina, based on a study carried out by the eMarketer consultant, the companies will raise the digital marketing budget up to 71% in 2013, which represents a 3% of increase compared to last year.

The main reason for this rising, reckoned by the 50% of the people consulted on the study, is the simpler possibility of the ROI (Return on Investment) calculation in the digital marketing, at the expense of the offline investment.

It is confirmed in the same report that, the investment made in Search and E-mail Marketing is the most suitable one for the ROI tracking (a 50% more than other options), followed by Mobile Marketing and Social Media. Anyway, this does not deprive the companies from investing in other formats and digital channels.

Mobile traffic keeps going up!

Recent studies about mobile, like the report made by Cisco Visual Networking, confirmed that by 2017 traffic coming from smartphones and other similar devices will be multiplied by five.

The same study has also stated that, between 2013 and 2017, the connection speed from these devices will be multiplied by 7. The Middle East and Africa lead this growth, followed by Asia, Latin America and USA ⎯all of them have a year-on-year growth of over 50%. On top of that, this boom comes with a great increase in video mobile consumption and the 4G-network expansion around the world.

As we pointed out some months ago, considering these numbers are constantly increasing, the key now is focusing on our sites’ optimization and our sites’ monetization manage from this source.

On average, people consume 10 hours and 40 minutes daily, in from of the computer, devoting 50% of that time to social networks. News and publicity, along with social networks, are the most searched and consumed content among digital media.

In this context. Argentina is ranked as one of the countries that still have a mixed media consumption, reaching even 13 hours daily. China and United Arab Emirates lead the countries with the highest digital media consumption, and Phillipines, among emerging countries, is characterized by its most remarkable daily use of social networks in the market.

New Optimization Features for Smowtion Publishers

Taking up suggestions, comments and feedback from all our Publishers, we have implemented two new features in our platform that will help you to control and monetize your inventory.

Ad filter optimization:

From now on, it’s not necessary to enter the whole and specific URL from the ads to block them in the ad filter. You only have to enter the domain in which the ad is hosted and that’s all.

Likewise, we have enhanced our search engine by category, which makes filtering the ads a simpler and faster process. This will make it easier to control the best ads to monetize your inventory.

Auto-Play Ad enhancement:

We have added an “opt-in” feature (a selection option for each Publisher) to display auto-play video ads directly and more efficiently in your inventory. In this way, there’s a wider range of offers for this kind of ad and, at the same time, each publisher controls and is able to choose their favorite one.
