Strategic Placement Generates Relevant Traffic

Here's a short piece I wrote for a Dealer marketing magazine back in early 2001. The times have changed, but the thesis has not: Strategic Placement Generates Relevant Traffic!

The key to a successful web strategy has been the mantra of the real estate indusry for eons: Location, location, location. So does one obtain great web placement? How can you measure the results of your web marketing efforts?

Services based on 'original hit-count' or 'unique visitors' are misleading, as the majority of those clicks are not consumers, they are hi-jacked surfers! These innocent people have no intention of spending time or money at your site, and now view you as a nuisance.

The practice of unsolicited "slamming" is an invasion of privacy and equated with junk mail or spam. Many major Internet advertisers have fallen prey to the slick promises of "high visibility" or automated optimizing, and dumped huge dollars into pop up campaigns. They have underestimated the caliber of today's Internet consumer.

The collaborative nature of the Internet creates a highly competitive advertising market, with no method of vying for viewers emerging as clearly superior. National ad campaigns are automated with a keystroke, as huge advertising budgets are emptied into the vastness of cyberspace.
