Content Moderation in Digital
Advertising, Up Close And Personal
Content moderation in context of a digital advertising agency is analyzing and editing user-generated material in
order for it to be socially acceptable and Brand approved for the general public to view via Internet-based media.
The Role of User-Generated Content in Digital Advertising Person of the Year
Advertising is a very competitive business, and that isn't going to change soon. The
traditional media are watching their revenues gradually wane, while brands clamour
to get more bang for their advertising buck. Thankfully, some of the attention (and
budgets) is turning to online, where new advertising ideas are born every minute.
User Generated Content (UGC), also known as consumer-generated media (CGM), refers to any
material created and uploaded to the Internet by non-media professionals, whether it’s a
comment left on Amazon. com, a professional-quality video uploaded to YouTube, or a student’s
profi le on Facebook. UGC has been around in one form or another since the earliest days of the
Internet itself. But in the past five years, thanks to the growing availability of high-speed Internet
access and search technology, it has become one of the dominant forms of global media. It is
currently one of the fastest growing forms of content on the Internet. UGC is fundamentally
altering how audiences interact with the Internet, and how advertisers reach those audiences.
In 2006, UGC sites attracted 69 million users in the United States alone, and in 2007 generated $1 billion in advertising revenue. By 2011, UGC sites are
projected to attract 101 million users in the U.S. and earn $4.3 billion in ad revenue.

UGC and social networking as a major force on the Internet represents the greatest opportunity and challenge to marketers since the advent of the Internet
itself. In the larger eco-system, social networking and UGC sites have provided high-value advertising inventory and audience segments needed to capture
more of the market share and targeted audience reach that advertisers demand, e.g. Microsoft’s investment in Facebook, Google’s acquisition of YouTube, and

Today, brands of all sizes are eager to jump into the How does UGC offer something unique?

Comparisons to other forms of advertising
Traditionally, marketers have been able to buy time or space on fi xed media in a controlled context. They knew where their ad would appear, what it would
look like, and perhaps most important, in what context it would be seen. In other words, they could be guaranteed their message wasn’t being delivered in a
hostile or inappropriate environment. Today, such guarantees are harder to make, and that lack of control can be a source of great anxiety for marketers. But it
also represents an unrivaled opportunity.Advertising in UGC requires marketers to alter their approach. Instead of broadcasting one-way messages at their
audiences, advertisers are compelled to engage in a conversation. Doing so carries risks, but failure to do so carries more.

Standards & Policy
Content moderation has grown into a discipline that requires expertise in pattern detection and analysis. Although there are numerous software-
based solutions in the market, they do not address the custom needs of particular businesses. With the right level of investment in moderating
content, Web site operators can create an optimal strategy that maximizes customer satisfaction while minimizing abuse and impact on the
company’s brand and reputation. With the increasing growth of UGC, as well as the technology, cost and scale needed to moderate it, achieving an
optimal long-term solution requires detailed strategic planning and execution. A variety of options currently exist to help Web site operators protect
and optimize their investments and reduce increasing moderation costs. Many organizations have outsourced their content moderation operations
to reduce costs and enable more scalable and predictable business outcomes. Others have implemented both custom and standardized technology
options to replace existing technology or to cut devel¬opment and maintenance expenses.
Some companies have also experimented with content moderation crowdsourcing solutions to replace human moderation, with mixed success.
While seemingly leveraging an unlimited number of resources at minimal cost may seem ideal, crowdsourcing to date still produces poor modera-
tion quality. Other Web sites have gone purely with community moderation to reduce costs, but this also may produce mixed results, as the
moderation of UGC can become overwhelm¬ing even for members
Thus, many solutions are available for content moderation and evaluation, implementation and management. However, finding the right content
moderation solution could be a difficult endeavor without solid strategic advice and a well-thought-out approach, leveraging industry best
practices customized for specific needs, as well as a clear understanding of the objectives and ecosystem of your Web site.

Digital Advertising: Today’s Marketing Approach
Investing in digital marketing pays backs with high ROI. Even a simple tweet or a Facebook post can
bring glory to a business- if everything is performed properly.
In the past decades, businesses were paying newspaper and magazine publications to print their ads.
Public relations departments of big companies played the game by begging TV producers for interviews.
Now, the marketing landscape has changed. Digital advertising gave rise to a new dimension of
attracting and influencing customers. With this new marketing approach, businesses can reach their
customers in a more affordable, convenient and engaging way.
According to pros, digital advertising allows businesses to deal with their customers and consumers
directly via the internet. The former approach deals with businesses approaching media people who
impart the promotional message to the target audience (two-way process).
Viral web materials are a proven ingredient of today’s business promotion. YouTube has been taking part
in helping businesses spread their viral videos. Viral videos, which are mostly humorous clips, are shared
by viewers to others on the internet for free. Thus, successful advertising creations nowadays are mostly
novel, interesting and pop culture-based.
Most businesses seeking for international prominence create a Facebook
page. They get moderators to manage the social media page. Facebook
groups can narrow down the target audience of a business page. Other
businesses use other social networking sites, like Twitter and Google Plus,
to directly socialize with their customers.
Social media buttons and plug-ins are also becoming essential website
components. The buttons allow visitors to share the website link to their
social networking circles.
Tablets and internet-enabled phones are replacing the old version of mobile
phones that only allow calling and texting functions. These new gadgets
facilitate digital advertisements in reaching a wider range of audiences.
Digital advertising sparked a new level of transparency among businesses.
Websites, social networking sites, blog sites and digital advertisements can be
accessed anytime and anywhere by anyone. Information, both the truthful and
fabricated ones, is overflowing on the web. Moderation services make sure
that web entries and advertisements associated to the business do not
damage the reputation of a business.
