DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs. Monica Tema
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.I am the above name person from Sierra-Leone. I am married to Dr Ebenezer Tema who worked with Sierra Leonian Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happilly. Since his death, I decided not to re-marry.
When my late husband was alive he secured $15Million (Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars) with financial institution here in Cote D'Ivoire. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my Doctor told me that from all the test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, expecially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what disturbs me most now is stroke.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches, Orphanages and Widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians. I don?t want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers, for their own selfish interest and in an ungodly manner. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me sometimes. I don't want them to know about this development, but I know that With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Financial institution in Ivory coast. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your church to always pray for me because God work in misterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Who ever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Monica Tema

Most early attempts at online video advertising involved simply attaching a 30-second TV ad to the front of a video clip. But the industry quickly recognized that recycling an ad format originally meant for half-hour or hour-long TV programming didn't work well for online clips that were often barely longer than the ad itself.

FW: SHIT
From Greg March:
URL: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PNu6xwyRwlk
Call me juvenille, but with all that's ground breaking with digital advertising, just being able to say "shit" is one of my favorites
To go with the post about imaging software video
Greg March:
The precursor of this technology was destination software, like Vindigo, which brought restaurant reviews, movie guides and destination reviews first to PDA's and later to cell phones. Using this technology, you could punch in an address and a kind of cuisine - and get a list of restaurants in response. The difference now is that information is tied to exact physical coordinates and there is much more of it - the world wide web!
But where these technologies become really interesting is when you combine them with cameras inside cell phones. Imagine going out to your back yard, pointing to a tree and asking: What kind of tree is this? or imagine walking around in a new city, pointing to a building and getting its complete history.
Tagging and annotating our physical world with digital tags and other kind of digital information will make our world much richer. Perhaps the device that is capable of creating this experience today is the much hyped iPhone. It certainly has all the ingredients to make it happen - it is the matter of connecting the dots.

Email Insider: What's IN / What's OUT: Email Trends For The Fall Season
I CAN always tell when autumn is approaching: my favorite magazines publish huge telephone-book-sized bibles on the dictates of fashion. While perusing this year's stack, I see an endless parade of "What's HOT / What's NOT" for the upcoming season. Seems this is the time of year to clear out the old and make way for the approaching changes.
Now is also the perfect time for email marketers to a closer look at what we've been doing and weed out outdated thinking. Why not take advantage of the emerging trends this fall, and set your path for a hugely successful holiday season?
IN: Knowing "Reputation" is everything
OUT: Thinking "Permission" is enough
It takes much more than permission to make it into your subscriber's inboxes these days. About 13 percent of opt-in emails end up in the junk folder. According to Lyris' "ISP Deliverability Report Card," there are two main reasons this happens: heavy use of images and user complaints.
There are many variables that affect your email reputation -- complaint rate data, email volume sent, unsubscribe functionality. and more. Start today to take steps to actively monitor and protect your reputation.
IN: Combination emails (HTML with Text)
OUT: All-image emails
Not only can an image-heavy email end up in the junk folder, but assuming it does end up in the user's inbox, it may not render automatically and may require your audience to engage just to view your message. This is neither efficient nor effective, and definitely not a great use of your marketing dollars.
Continue to send all-image emails and you're minimizing results. Quite simply -- all-image emails are passé!
IN: Relevant
OUT: Generic
Today's savvy consumers have little enough time for life, let alone sifting through hundreds of irrelevant emails. Make your emails talk to the core interests of the individual by delivering dynamic, personalized content and imagery based on their selected preferences, and they are sure to respond.
This season, take a pass on sending generic, mass-blast emails and craft an email strategy based on relevance.
IN: CPA List Deals
OUT: CPM List Rentals
When faced with a limited marketing budget, doesn't it just make sense to pay for results -- for what REALLY works for your specific audience? Sure, some cost per thousand (CPM) list rentals may work -- if you're targeting a niche audience, working with a reputable broker and a proven list source. However, most times, results are unpredictable. It's like playing roulette with your marketing budget.
Cost per acquisition (CPA) exchanges have been around for a long time in online media, and finally the email world is catching up. Pay for performance email lists are definitely a trend worth exploring -- you really have nothing to lose.
IN: Acknowledging MOBILE is a way of life
OUT: Pretending your audience isn't mobile
Today's world has become a mobile world. And according to a study by Exact Target, 60 percent of mobile users find that "a mobile device provides a good means of reading email." This new behavior creates new challenges for email marketers. People interact differently with email they receive on handhelds; smart marketers know this and are taking steps today to prepare.
Start today by incorporating a mobile strategy as part of your data collection process, and addressing this within your opt-in policies. Adjust your creative strategy to ensure everything renders appropriately on the small screen -- and don't forget about your landing pages.
IN: Integrating email metrics with Web analytics
OUT: Viewing open rate and CTR as the measure of success
Open rates and click-through rates (CTR) will always be vital indicators of how a specific campaign is performing, and we should not ignore these time-tested basics. However, a campaign that ranks high in open rates and CTRs may not be providing the most conversions.
The hottest way of measuring email campaign success goes beyond the basics and incorporates a comprehensive Web analytics strategy to gain insight into the full picture. Try this out on your next campaign, and you just may be surprised by what you learn.

MADISON AVENUE HAS RECEIVED many calls to action on innovating online video advertising. Heck, I have even gotten caught up in blaming ad execs for the slow adoption. But, I am starting to wonder, is the delay really on them? Or could some of the responsibility fall to publishers, ad networks and exchanges?
Marketers want to get in the online video ad game without a doubt. But a lack of standards and a knowledge gap are affecting the follow-through. Advertisers and ad agencies aren't getting the information they need to justify the value of online video ads.
What do advertisers need to know?
Ad units. With so many ad units, a lack of creative standards has caused a great deal of confusion. Advertisers need to understand and evaluate the options available. Examples include but are not limited to the following:
* In-stream videos -- pre/mid/post-roll, usually accompanied by companion banners (e.g. - 300x250)
* In-stream banners (a.k.a., tickers, overlays or bugs) -- banners that appear in the player at some point during video consumption.
* Direct response banners -- when clicked, the user is delivered to another site. The advertiser is charged on a cost-per-click basis. Typically targeting is context.
* Branded banners
*
* Banner click spawns a new window -- the advertiser is charged on a CPM basis regardless of how the number of clicks.
* User-Initiated video ads --a banner click pauses content and plays a commercial. The advertiser is charged on a CPM basis for banner impressions, regardless of the number of plays that result from banner clicks. Another click delivers users to the advertiser's Web site.
* Interactive video ads -- Placed before or after a video stream, interactive display ads invite consumer engagement before moving on to video content. Interactive elements allow consumers to find out more information without leaving the site.
* Video banner ads -- ot associated with video content, these video ads play automatically (generally muted) on a page or play when rolled over by a mouse.
* Player skin -- sponsored ad graphics that surround a video screen.
Terms. Lack of creative standards encourages multiple business models as well. Advertisers need to know what they are paying for (example, CPM, CPC or CPA) and they need to understand the payment method -- is this going to be an insertion order with net terms, or is payment required up front? Is there a minimum buy, or can the advertiser pull the campaign at any time -- like sponsored search? Also consider, how can the costs be fixed and budgeted over a campaign?
Production requirements, targeting capabilities. Will advertisers need to provide and/or produce new video assets? Do they need to consider specific files sizes or formats, video length, etc.? Depending on the depth of a solutions provider's target ability, how much information can they provide on the demographics they are looking to reach (example, region, city, state, zip, gender, daypart, etc.)? Can elements of the ad be customized dynamically based on the above targets?
Tracking. One of the most confusing aspects of this medium is who actually hosts and serves the ad -- especially confusing with the various vendors and third-party ad servers available. This begs the question, how does the advertiser track the performance of the campaign? Advertisers should find out who serves the ad and how that company applies third-party ad tags to track the amount of a video that was viewed, how users interact with the commercial, and then apply tracking beyond the video ad itself so they can determine performance on the Web site.
Observe and Optimize. This is an emerging media, so it's important that the advertiser's expectations are managed as such. Online video advertising has tremendous potential, but still, it takes time to figure it all out. Track and see what happens with the online video ad campaign. Review results on a consistent basis, tweak messaging and adjust your advertising program and the campaign.
Think back to the early days of search. It wasn't gang-busters in the beginning. But, diligent search marketers mined their data and learned how to develop and execute effective search marketing campaigns. That is what we can expect as online video advertising blooms. To help the process along, let's help the advertisers.

<http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=090557284/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=TVBOARD/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=090557284/QUAL=0> <http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=090557284/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=TVBOARD/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=090557284/QUAL=0> <http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=090557284/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=TVBOARD/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=090557284/QUAL=0> IT'S PROBABLY JUST A FOOTNOTE buried beneath the press clippings amassing in the inboxes of network executives this morning, but I'd suggest that the TV industry take serious note of Yahoo's $300 million acquisition of BlueLithium. "What's BlueLithium," you ask? It's a leading behavioral targeting firm. "What's behavioral targeting, and why should people in the TV industry give a hoot?" Well, that's the reason for today's TV Board post.
Behavioral targeting is a small, but rapidly growing segment of the online advertising marketplace that some people -- me among them -- believe could ultimately change everything about the way advertisers and agencies use electronic media to target their messages to consumers. Unlike traditional methods of targeting, which place ads in editorial or programming content deemed relevant to consumers marketers are trying to reach, behavioral targeting enables advertisers to target people based on their past media behavior. Why is that significant? More importantly, why does that represent a breakthrough in media planning? Good questions. Let me explain.
Behavioral targeting disassociates advertising messages from media content and focuses not on what the media are doing, but on how people are consuming it. Here's how it works. Let's say I'm someone who's in the market for a high-end performance car. As part of my purchase planning I may tool around BMW's site, or drive-by BMW's Web pages. I might also stop by Edmonds.com or any number of auto purchasing sites to do some research on pricing, performance and comparisons between models. Naturally, those are all good places for auto marketers to reach me with their brand pitches, but there is only so much inventory on those sites that can actually reach me. In fact, after doing my initial research, I may not go back to an auto-related site again until I'm ready to actually purchase the car I want. Or I may just stop by a dealer instead. So how can BWM reach me to make sure I don't end up buying a Mercedes, or vice versa? Well, they can use firms like BlueLithium to target me behaviorally.
Utilizing tracking cookies -- simple pieces of computer code that tell online publishers who I am when my computer browser lands on their page -- firms like BlueLithium can tell BMW where I go when I leave the car company's site, or Edmonds. BlueLithium can follow me and serve an ad aimed at me -- and only me -- when I scan the headlines on MyYahoo news feeds, or when I click through to a story on the New York Times Web site. They can get me when I check the weather on accuweather.com, or they can catch me when I click back to the TV Board blog page to see what comments readers like you ultimately make to today's post.
In the old days, placing ads in such content might have seemed completely irrational to a media buyer or brand manager. These days, it's increasingly being seen as the most logical step. Putting aside the whole debate surrounding the so-called "engagement" effect of media, who's to say that an ad placed adjacent to relevant editorial content is the most effective? Isn't the most effective advertising message the one that's most relevant to the consumer at the time he's being exposed to it? If my online navigation behavior shows that I've been frequenting automotive sites, how rational would it be to serve me an ad for Calloway golf clubs when I check out stats and rankings on the PGA tour on ESPN.com? It's not. Ultimately, all that should matter is my consumer behavior.
That's why Yahoo just paid $300 million to acquire BlueLithium. It's also why Time Warner's AOL unit recently agreed to pay an estimated $275 million to buy BlueLithium rival Tacoda. And it's why some other big media concerns are likely to grab other behavioral marketing firms like AlmondNet, Revenue Science, and Undertone Networks. It's because behavioral targeting works. And it's because the secret of its success is starting to get out.
According to the most recent estimates from online industry stats keeper eMarketer, the behavioral targeting market is set to increase to $3.8 billion by 2011, from $350 million in 2006. It could actually be bigger than that if, as I suspect, it ultimately begins to infiltrate the television industry.
To do that, some pretty big changes would have to occur. But from where I'm sitting, they're starting to occur already. The biggest change that would need to happen, would be for the TV industry to begin providing marketers with information on consumers' TV viewing behavior. And I don't mean proxy samples like Nielsen ratings. I mean actual data derived from the set-top devices sitting in their living rooms. This is starting to happen, albeit excruciatingly slowly. TNS has begun working with local cable operators, and has even commercialized a digital set-top data service in at least one market. Rentrak has also gotten into the game, as has Nielsen. And the industry shouldn't completely rule out spunky digital set-top ratings service erinMedia, which is owned by regular TV Board contributor Frank Maggio. While erinMedia has deactivated its operations pending the outcome of its federal antitrust suit against Nielsen, Maggio says he is committed to getting back in the game as soon as the courts or regulators can create an open playing field.
Other forces are at work that could facilitate the free flow of digital TV set-top data. Invidi, a digital switching technology player that could enable that market overnight, continues to court cable operators, which have been loath to come on board to date, citing consumer privacy concerns.
Another big player could be Microsoft, which has agreed to acquire digital marketing giant aQuantive, which also happens to own Atlas DMT, one of the leading online ad serving firms, and one of the few to begin developing ad-serving capabilities for interactive TV platforms.
Another relationship worth keeping an eye on is Google's deal to sell TV advertising avails on satellite operator EchoStar's DISH network. A key element of that relationship has to do with opening EchoStar's database to Google's ad targeting systems.
But the biggest reason why television ultimately will embrace behavioral targeting may have less to do with television and more to do with the Web. As the super targeting ability of the Internet makes it a more effective marketing platform, TV will inevitably have to follow suit. In the meantime, the Web also will become an increasingly important distribution platform for television content, and as TV programming "publishers" discover the power of behavioral targeting, it only makes sense that they will want to migrate that back to their other telecasting platforms.

From: Liana Chang
that's a smart (and also scary) move on their part. you can imagine how with very very targeted and relevant mobile ads nokia can be at the forefront of a new kind of highly specialized ad-to-commerce-conversion revolution. especially if they're smart enough to combine these kinds of mobile ads with the ability to purchase via mobile too at POS or on the fly.

Cellphone Maker Buys Enpocket With Eye on Mobile Marketing's Potential Windfall
By Alice Z. Cuneo
Published: September 18, 2007
SAN FRANCISCO (AdAge.com) -- The world's largest cellphone manufacturer today took another step toward tapping what is expected to a promising mobile-marketing revenue stream.
Nokia's acquisition of Endpocket means the handset maker will go up against traditional online ad sellers.
Nokia's acquisition of Endpocket means the handset maker will go up against traditional online ad sellers.
Nokia announced plans to purchase Enpocket, a Boston company with the technology to display ads on cellphones, including adding video and banner ads to mobile web pages. Enpocket counts Pepsi, Sprint, MasterCard and Match.com among its clients and provides services ranging from planning and creative to delivery and analytics.
The agreement, details of which were undisclosed, is expected to close later this year.
Going up against the portals
It's a move that pits the handset maker directly against rival carriers as well as more traditional ad sellers such as Google, Yahoo and other PC portals. Content providers and media companies, such as Weather Channel and MTV, also hope to rake in additional revenue from mobile ads.
Tom Henriksson, director of Nokia's emerging business unit, said that with Enpocket, Nokia will have "some core competencies which can help us propel that whole market forward." Mike Baker, who will continue in his role as Enpocket's president-CEO, said he expects that with Nokia, mobile marketing will take a leap forward. "If one company can establish a standard, it's Nokia," he said.
Nokia, which has been moving beyond hardware and into software and services, earlier this year announced it was planning to sell ads on mobile phones. It also rolled out Ovi, a service which will include social networks, games, music and maps.
Not sitting by quietly
Earlier this year, Enpocket competitor Third Screen Media was purchased by AOL; Microsoft acquired ScreenTonic. Google, meanwhile, last week said advertisers using its search listings on the PC will also see those ads showing up on mobile phones.
Currently, advertising on mobile phones has been limited. Banner ads have been running on publishers' mobile websites and on Sprint's "deck," or landing page. Marketers also have been testing some early forms of mobile advertising, such as text messaging and coupon campaigns.
Overall, most consumer surveys show strong resistance to advertising on mobile phones, particularly if it comes as spam text messages or old-fashioned telemarketing. Proponents of mobile ads say the marketing will be so highly targeted and useful that consumers will find it valuable, particularly if it's a coupon for a discount at a store nearby. The industry's oft-cited example of this Starbucks using a phone to offer a discount for a latte on a cold day as a consumer nears one of the coffee chain's locations. Naturally, privacy advocates have expressed concerns about ads that determine a cellphone's location. Many surveys indicated consumers will go along with mobile ads only if they receive some monetary value.
Growth expected
According to Informa Telecoms and Media, marketers spent $871 million in cellphone advertising globally in 2006. Kelesy Group estimates search revenue alone on mobile phones will grow from $33.2 million this year to $1.4 billion by 2012. Overall mobile phone advertising has been projected by Informa and others to range from $5 billion to $19 billion in 2011.

Relevant Advertising (Behaviorally Targeted) Yields More Receptive Prospects
Revenue Science, Inc. announced the results of a study on consumer receptivity to online advertising, conducted by JupiterResearch, that found that more online consumers are consistently more receptive to behaviorally targeted ads than to contextual advertising, outperforming contextual by as much as 22 percent in some categories.
Marla R. Schimke, vice president of marketing at Revenue Science, said "... (this report shows that) behavioral targeting is more effective than contextual advertising for advertisers, publishers, and for consumers... This study... reaffirms our belief that Internet users favor advertising relevant to them personally..."
The responses of more than 2,000 people surveyed revealed that, across all advertising, 14 percent more online consumers are more receptive to behaviorally targeted ads than to contextual ads, representing 63 percent of the total audience.
For advertisers, the study shows that behavioral targeting outperforms contextual advertising in terms of consumer attention by at least 10 percent across 14 major product categories, from Financial Services to Consumer Electronics to Pharmaceuticals to Fashion and Style.
Specifically:
* 17 percent more online purchasers of computing products are more receptive to behaviorally targeted ads
* 18 percent more online auto purchasers are more receptive to behaviorally targeted ads
* 20 percent more online telecom purchasers are more receptive to behaviorally targeted ads than to contextual ads
The necessity of using attention-getting behavioral targeting was reinforced by responses regarding online behavior. The study found that more than 75 percent of online shoppers shop once per month or less and that the majority only research a product once or twice before buying.
Schimke concludes that the research shows behavioral targeting is the solution to maximize a limited opportunity to move consumers through the purchase funnel.
The study also found that the behaviorally-receptive audience
* Is more likely to have a higher income
* Spends more money online
* Shops online more frequently than others
According to the study, behaviorally targeted ads fare better among both high and low online spenders. Among people who spend more than $500 online annually, 10 percent more were defined as behaviorally receptive and, among people who spend less than $500 online annually, 17 percent more were defined as behaviorally receptive.
"With behavioral targeting, marketers will be more effective in reaching both a higher value audience and the overall audience of online shoppers," added Schimke.

How Engagement Can Add Up
by Gregory Wilson, Monday, October 1, 2007
<http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=100117488/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=ONLINEVIDEOINSIDER/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=100117488/QUAL=0> <http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=100117488/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=ONLINEVIDEOINSIDER/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=100117488/QUAL=0> <http://mediapst.adbureau.net/adclick/acc_random=100117488/SITE=EMAIL/AREA=ONLINEVIDEOINSIDER/AAMSZ=TOWER/GUID=100117488/QUAL=0> IT'S CURIOUS, AT LEAST TO me, that the dialogue around the concept of "engagement" remains focused primarily on media. Most of the talk you hear today is about how engagement can be enhanced through pod position, time of day, type of program, etc.
And while these are all pertinent to the discussion, it seems to be counterproductive to be talking about engagement while ignoring two equally important components of it: viewer intent. And, the creative itself.
On most digital platforms engagement appears to be a sum game, requiring three very distinct components for it to be able to exist at all. These three components are exposure to the message, viewer control of the message, and involvement in the message itself.
Exposure to the message obviously needs to occur first. While a forced exposure -- pre-roll or in-stream on digital platforms --will certainly guarantee more eyeballs to the message, whether it delivers engagement or entrapment is open to debate.
For engagement to be measured, it's the viewer's intent, not the advertiser's intent,
that's most important. To measure viewer intent, viewers need the ability to avoid
commercials that they don't want to watch, as well as access those that they do.
Giving the viewer this control allows their intent to become explicit, and therefore, measurable.
Once the viewer is in control, view duration of the message depends on the message itself: How it's crafted. The selling proposition. What it says. The entertainment value.
Most advertisers, of course, would like viewers to watch the entire message. After all, if an advertiser spends the money to produce say, a 60-second spot, they must assume that all 60-seconds ads are valuable. Otherwise, they would have produced something shorter.
As each second costs the same to produce, the longer that viewers are involved in a commercial, the better the cost/value for the advertiser.
Add up these three components -- exposure, intent and involvement -- and the equation looks something like this: Engagement = Exposure + Intent + Involvement
What's interesting about this equation is that each of the three components is provided by a different entity.
Exposure is provided by the programmer, bought and paid for through a media agency.
Intent is provided through the control that the platform operator gives the viewer.
As for involvement, it will, or will not occur mostly due to the efforts of the creative agency that crafts the commercial.
Separating the responsibility for each of the components also allows us to separate the accountability for each component.
In this equation, programmers are not responsible for involvement, the creative agencies are. Platform operators are not accountable for exposure or impressions. That's the programmer's responsibility, to create the type of content that draws viewers.
What platform operators are responsible for is giving control to the viewer so that intent can be measured. Viewer intent becomes the pivot point that triggers the transference of accountability from the programmer to the creative agency.
If accountability can be transferred from programmer to creative agency, then advertisers will be able to pay each for what they are responsible for. And, in turn, pay the platform operators for giving them the ability to achieve this.
Dividing engagement into three separate components allows the responsibility for engagement to be properly assigned. And once responsibility is assigned, the financial models can, and will, follow.
Which offers this new math of engagement a chance to add up in more ways than one.
