What is the secret of success in mobile advertising? The traditional answer is banner ads. But up to 50 percent of clicks on mobile banner ads are accidental -- and the average click-through rate of display ads is just a fraction of a percent (0.1 percent)? Considering that more people are spending more time on their mobile devices, what can advertisers do to improve the outcomes of their mobile advertising campaigns?
Content Monetization
It's widely known that mobile banner ads or display advertising has its flaws. The ads can be annoying and they're not always user-friendly, especially on mobile. However, as we've learned previously, mobile banner ads may boost location-based advertising efforts and can be fairly effective in targeting users. Still, there's more to mobile advertising than banner ads.
Is the secret to mobile advertising content monetization? Engaging content helps attract attention and retain interest from customers. Additionally, non-voice mobile activity accounts for nearly 20 percent of media time. That's a lot of time to interact with blogs, social networks, video and more. It's also an opportunity for companies to leverage that content to your advantage.
Here are three tools you can use to monetize content on mobile.
VigLink
What it is: VigLink is a content monetization companythat helps online publishers (i.e. bloggers, individuals on socialmedia, email marketers and the like) earn from content they create andthe commerce they drive.
How it works for mobile: For mobile apps focused on content or shopping, the VigLink Convert API provides seamless, pixel-free monetization. When users follow a link and buy, site owners get paid. Advertisers can spend time building an awesome app, rather than integrating with countless affiliate programs.
Outbrain
What it is: Outbrain is a content discovery platform that powers personalized recommendations to content on most leading publisher websites online.
