Advertising At NorthumberlandView.ca

An Internet presence has become part of doing business. Engaging current and potential customers online has become an integral part of any successful marketing campaign.

Terry O’Reilly, host of CBC Radio’s “The Age of Persuasion”, wrote the following regarding online advertising in his book “The Age of Persuasion: How Marketing Ate Our Culture

Click Click = Ka-Ching, Ka-Ching

The success of an online idea is measured, in part, by the number of clicks a website gets. While that number can easily go into the millions, most advertisers are interested in “unique visitors.” These are determined by counting each visitor only once, which reveals a site’s true audience size. While this isn’t an exact science (some computers are shared by two or more users), it’s a fairly good estimate ofthe reach of an ad or website. Other research refines the profiles of users and the way they interact with each site by identifying the amount of time spent on each web page, the pages within a website that get the most traffic, and where the traffic is coming from. No matter what the statistics reveal, however, the is one overriding benefit related to online marketing clicks: the consumer has sought the website out. They may even have made quite an effort to find it. Because interaction with a website is not passive exposure (like TV ads, for instance), a marketer is much more likely to make an impact through advertising online than through other media.

An advertisement at NorthumberlandView.ca drives traffic to websites and increases exposure for businesses.

Moving Day

Once again, NorthumberlandView.ca’s Blog is back. I’ll just give you a bit of background as to what happened…

NorthumberlandView.ca became too popular for our original web host and because of that, the site was using too many resources on their servers. The network administrators decided to shut off the site, rather than slow down every other site on the server. Because of this, I decided to move to a new web host.

The transfer started on Friday, January 15th at about 5:00 pm and the site was moved and back up at about 6:00 am on Sunday, January 17th.

Everything is back up and running at NorthumberlandView.ca and I’ve brought back the Discussion Forum. I have also added Search to the site.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience with the move and for their good wishes.
