JP Morgan Lowers Search Ad Growth Estimates

Internet Attached Storage is Online Backup on Steroids

Rate this: 2.6

JP Morgan Internet analyst Imran Khan is lowering projections for search ad spend for 2008 and 2009. The forecast for 2008 growth is now 23.4% year-over-year, down from earlier projections at 27.4%. The forecast for 2008 is a dismal 17.3%, down from 25.5%.

Khan sees specific sectors as being hit harder than others, particulary travel, telecom, autos, and retail. Still, Khan expects search advertising to hold up better than display advertising.

What do you think of Khan’s revised projections?

WebTrends is rolling out a new feature to help web markters and developers track specific analytics. The tool is called TagBuilder. It’s online, it’s free and it generates WebTrends data collection tags, which have been rewritten as standardized, object-oriented JavaScript code.

Here’s what you can do with TagBuilder:

• Access automated click-event tracking for download links, offsite links, form submissions, image maps and navigation areas
• Automate parameter mapping and the capture of information from custom META tags for detailed reporting
• Flexibly define the site with options for single or multiple first-party cookies and the choice of single or multiple on-site domains for accurate cross-domain tracking
• Integrate conversion tracking with WebTrends Ad Director, an automated search marketing optimization service
• Easily create cookies compliant with the U.S. Office of Management & Budget policies for federal government web sites

“WebTrends TagBuilder greatly simplifies one of the most arduous, error-prone tasks of web analytics,” said Eric Rickson, product manager for WebTrends. “This free utility lowers the barriers to rich reporting and analysis by providing our customers with a direct way to take advantage of our innovations in data collection.”

Monitor, monitor, on the wall, “Who’s the most Internet Famous of them all?”

Wired.com has launched a new, free service for everyone who wonders how Internet famous they currently are.

It’s called the “Celebrity Meter.” It won’t tell you how whether you have celebrity friends, but it will let you know - in rough numbers - how much of an online celebrity you are.

Wired’s Celebrity Meter launched in beta this morning. The program uses data from Google’s Social Graph service to see how many people are following you on MySpace, Twitter, and a personal blog/site. It takes into account things like incoming links and number of friends or followers to give you a numerical score — which you can then compare to other big names in the blogosphere and across the Web in general.

We know Jason Calacanis, Robert Scoble and Mike Arrrington will be battling for the top spot.

Wired writes, “Of course, it’s not a complete view. The measurement doesn’t account for FriendFeed, Facebook, or a lot of other social services just yet. But it’s still hard to resist giving it a whirl.”

We agree.

Google’s Conversion Optimizer was released in January and was designed to streamline the AdWords bidding process. Now, Google has announced that the tool is supported by AdWords Editor and Adwords API.

In order to use Conversion Optimizer, you must have AdWords Conversion Tracking enabled and have accrued 200 conversions over the past 30 days. Conversion Optimizer uses several factors to determine an optimal CPC bid based on the maximum CPA set by the user. Factors include broad matching, content network or search partner site where an ad is displayed, and where the user is located.

Writing on the Inside AdWords blog, Trevor Claiborne explained, “The keyword “flowers” may have a 2% conversion rate while the keyword ‘roses delivery’ may have a 7% conversion rate. That doesn’t mean that you don’t want any clicks on ‘flowers,’ but you probably wouldn’t want to spend as much on that keyword as you might be willing to spend for clicks on ‘roses delivery’ The Conversion Optimizer uses information like this to adjust your bids based on how valuable each click is for you.”
