On the flip side, newspapers and magazines continue to command ad dollars far ahead of their importance in consumers’ day. Part of this is due to the cost of advertising—glossy magazine ads and full-page newspaper spreads command higher rates than much digital advertising. But it also indicates that the revenue troubles for print will likely continue as advertisers follow eyeballs and continue to pull spending from these media.

Posted via email from Darealya's resources: marketing tips & tools, social media and advertising for entrepreneurs and small businesses

It seems natural that sites would want to include these share buttons to get more readers and consumers to mention content on social sites, but nearly half of the top websites did not include any of the social plugins studied. When it comes to social media marketing, brands shouldn’t forget about their own websites and should make sure that their owned media is also social—not only encouraging readers to share content, but also noting how they can “like” or follow the company on Facebook and Twitter.

State of the Website Economy: Focus on Website Domains

2011-07-28T23:42:00.001-07:00

What we learned

.ca websites tend to sell for more than .us websites (or most other county domains for that matter).
.me comes from Montenegro (yes, we do know that a number of formally country-specific top level domains are used more globally such as .co, .tv, .me, .ly and .bz!).
Despite domain registrars pushing .co and the number of recent high profile single-letter .co sales, there is not a great deal of demand for .co websites as buyers still seem to prefer .com.
While .info and .net websites predictably sell below the market average, we were surprised to see .biz perform fairly strongly.
Website values drops rapidly once you go past 10 characters in your domain – as evidenced by the recent sale of iWillUseGoogleBeforeAskingDumbQuestions.com
There was an uproar and threats of GoDaddy boycotts from across the globe when Bob Parsons shot an elephant in Zimbabwe, but the event failed to resonate in the long-term as website creators continue to use GoDaddy. In fact, their share of registrations seems to have increased since the shooting, and their share of website sales hasn’t diminished when looked at relative to the rest of the website market. We doubt the event even factored into GoDaddy’s $2.25 billion sale to private equity firms last month!

Either way, it’s not something I want to see on my computer in the morning. And since I don’t think I’m in the minority on this one, it’s probably not something that should be a part of your email marketing.

Affluent members of Gen Y (ages 19 to 33) cited promotions and offers as the main reason for engaging with brands on social media. Women were more likely than men to engage with brands in general and to want to receive offers. However, the survey included those who were “projected to earn $100,000 in the next two years”—meaning the respondents were more aspiring than actually affluent. The second biggest motivator was still an affinity for the brand.

Google Named Most Reputable Company in U.S.

Posted via email from Darealya's resources: marketing tips & tools, social media and advertising for entrepreneurs and small businesses

Google has topped a list of the most reputable companies in the U.S., according to a Harris Interactive poll.

Harris Interactive asked more than 30,000 respondents to identify the 60 most visible companies in the U.S. and rate them based on 20 different attributes, including financial performance, emotional appearance, social responsibility and leadership.

Technology companies dominated the top of the list. At number one is Google, which Harris Interactive rates at an 84.05/100 on the reputation scale (80.0 and higher is consider “excellent”). Other notable tech companies making the top of the list were Apple (#5), Intel (#6), Amazon (#8), Sony (#14) and Microsoft (#16), all of whom received a rating higher than 80.

Rounding out the bottom of the list were insurance conglomerates, banks, and oil companies. AIG received the worst reputation ranking with a 47.77. BP, the company responsible for the worst oil spill in history, had the second-worst ranking. Other companies that made the bottom tier of Harris Interactive’s list include Comcast, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ExxonMobile, General Motors, Bank of America, Chrysler, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.

Despite government investigations and privacy concerns, the world’s largest search engine still enjoys a supremely positive image in the eyes of its millions of users. Do you think the company deserves it? Let us know in the comments.
