33. spamassassin
Can check e-mailâs spam score
Open-source project
In a corporate setting, usually small
to midsized businesses and ISP mail
servers, it runs each email message
through hundreds of tests that
analyze headers, text, and HTML
coding and checks domains and IP
addresses against DNS (define)
blocklists and filtering databases.
When a message flunks a test, it
scores anywhere from a fraction of a
point to multiple points. If a message
scores too many
points, SpamAssassin rejects it.
40. spam lawsuits
Lawsuit: Kodak Imaging Network, $32,000
âThe Federal Trade Commission has charged two internet marketers with violating the CAN-SPAM Act by failing
to offer an opt-out method or honor consumersâ right to opt out of receiving future marketing mailings within
10 days of making the request. One marketer also failed to include a valid physical postal address, which also is
required by the CAN-SPAM Act.â
Takeaway: Itâs been said that the Kodak incident was an accident, where someone mistakenly sent a campaign
before it was complete with unsubscribe links and postal address. Simple, innocent mistakes can be costly
Lawsuit: Jumpstart, $900,000
ââThese defendants intentionally used personal messages as a cover-up for commercial messages,â said Lydia
Parnes, Director of the FTCâs Bureau of Consumer Protection. âDeceptive subject lines and headers not only
violate the CAN-SPAM Act, but also consumer trust.ââ
Takeaway: In your effort to âget the saleâ and make people open your emails, itâs important to not get overly
creative with your subject lines to the point of deception.
Free Can Be Expensive
Lawsuit: ValueClick, $2.9 million
âAccording to the FTC, ValueClick subsidiary Hi-Speed Media used deceptive emails, banner ads, and pop-ups
to drive consumers to its Web sites. The emails and online ads claimed that consumers were eligible for âfreeâ
gifts, including laptops, iPods, and high-value gift cardsâŚâ
Takeaway: Nothing sells like free. But are there any catches to your offer? If so, using âfreeâ in your subject line
might be seen as deceptive.
41. The Canadian Tourism Commission was looking to inspire Canadians to explore their country
and keep the large sum of money spent on travel within the countryâs borders. The campaign
was a national integrated advertising campaign, incorporating print, magazine, television and
online mediums (Cooper, 2009). The online platform was crucial to the campaignâs success with
all creative executions driving the audience to www.localsknow.ca to upload and share photos
âof their favourite Canadian travel spots and great unknown experiencesâ (Cooper, 2009). The
creative approach was to focus on the unexpected and through the imagery, experiences and
deals being offered, build pride amongst Canadians and inspire them to explore Canada
(Cooper, 2009).
Email marketing was one of the digital marketing tactics used to promote the competition being
run in conjunction with the campaign. The email was sent to a database of summer campaign
participants and needed to engage with the recipient in such a way that it brought the essence
of the campaign to life, to explore Canada.
DDB Canada / Tribal Vancouver put together a simple email that spoke to the adventurous
nature of the target audience and encouraged the recipients to discover unknown aspects of
Canada. The email was put together so that it was not visible in its entirety within a standard
computer screen and the recipient needed to use the scroll bars to navigate to the end
destination. An innovative email concept which spoke directly to the target audience resulted in
many unknown Canadian destinations being discovered.
This campaign was voted as one of the top within the travel category by Forbes.com. Over the
eight week period that the summer campaign ran, the website had three million page views and
over 55 000 unique visitors per week. According to conversion and tracking
studies, approximately 200 000 Canadians chose to holiday locally as a result of the entire
campaign (Laird, 2009).

79. INDICATORS USED BY ADVERTISERS IN THE USA TO MEASURE THE
PERFORMANCE OF THEIR ONLINE MARKETING CAMPAIGNS
80. PAY PER CLICK - PPC
The price is based on the number of clicks your ad receives. In other
words, you pay for this ad only if a person clicks on the ad. A typical
price range is 5 cents to $1 per click. Costs for advertisements via
search engines are pay per click (i.e. contextual advertising). The
amount you pay per click will depend on how targeted the keyword is
and the competition for that keyword. The ads are ranked based on
how much you pay to advertise on each search phrase. However, more
targeted ads usually result in more sales.
COST PER IMPRESSION (CPM).
Costs are based on the number of times the advertisements are
viewed. The M in the acronym is the Roman numeral for a
thousand, and as such it is also referred to as Cost per Mille. Banner
ads are generally sold by CPM, but they can also be sold by pay per
clicks. A $50 CPM means you pay $50 for every 1000 times your ad
appears.
(CPA) COST PER AQUISITION
81. AVAILABLE TOOLS

82. AFFILIATE MARKETING
Chaffey (2009) defines affiliate marketing as âa commission based arrangement where referring
sites (publishers) receive a commission on sales or leads by merchants (retailers or other
transactional sites)â.
83. ACTION AND REWARD
COST PER ACTION (CPA)
a fixed commission for a particular action
COST PER LEAD (CPL)
a fixed commission for a lead (i.e. a potential sale)
REVENUE SHARE (ALSO CPS OR COST PER SALE)
an agreed percentage of the purchase amount is
awarded
COST PER CLICK (CPC)
this forms a very small part of the affiliate
marketing mix, and the merchant pays a fixed amount
for each clickthrough to their website
84. TRACKING â THE LIFELINE OF AFFILIATE
MARKETING
THE KEY TO AFFILIATE MARKETING IS BEING ABLE TO TRACK THE WHOLE PROCESS
FROM POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS BEING SENT TO A WEBSITE THROUGH TO A
COMPLETED ACTION, SO THAT THE MERCHANT IS ABLE TO AWARD THE CORRECT
AFFILIATE WITH THE CORRECT COMMISSION
Specialized tracking software (supported by affiliate network) + affiliateâs own tracking

EMAIL LISTS
LOYALTY SITES (POINTS OR CASH BACK OR CHARITABLE DONATIONS)
COUPON AND PROMOTIONS SITES
COMPARISON SHOPPING (SEE ALSO PPC ADVERTISING)
SEARCH AFFILIATES (SEARCH ARBITRAGE)
95. Pinterestâs stance is not entirely unusual. While
sites like Twitter and Facebook have generally
allowed link tracking, not all social media services
are friendly to marketers. Reddit, for example, does
not allow short URLs, is unfriendly to affiliate
links, and has evenbanned links from publications
like The Atlantic and Businessweek for alleged
spammy behavior.
96. OTHER ISSUES TO DISCUSS
⢠HOW LONG CAN COOKIE LAST?
⢠AFFILIATE LOCK-IN
97. WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
MULTIPLE REFERRALS â ONE SALE
Usual practice â most recent referral is
awarded, but some merchants are compensating
their affiliates
COOKIES GETTING A BAD REPUTATION
User deletes cookies because he does not like
how tracking and collecting information sounds.
Limited effect.
PLACING AND ORDER BY ANOTHER METHODS
Looks up on the internet, but places order online.
98. Remaining forms of online advertising
BEHAVIORAL TARGETING
Online advertising can be targeted based on a user's
online behavior. This practice is known as behavioral
targeting. For example, if a user is known to have
recently visited a number of automotive shopping /
comparison sites based on clickstream analysis enabled
by cookies stored on the user's computer, that user can
then be served auto-related ads when they visit
other, non-automotive sites.
SEMANTIC ADVERTISING
Semantic advertising applies semantic analysis techniques
to web pages. The process is meant to accurately
interpret and classify the meaning and/or main subject of
the page and then populate it with targeted advertising
spots. By closely linking content to advertising, it is
assumed that the viewer will be more likely to show an
interest (i.e., through engagement) in the advertised
product or service.

118. COMPARING ONLINE MARKETING TOOLS
A lot of online tools claim to make you a better, faster marketer. Many also
promise to help you easily connect with your customers. So, how do you
choose? The trick is to pick online marketing tools that not only help you
reach your customers, but also are really easy for you to use
Here are the criteria I use to assess marketing tools for entrepreneurs:
â Ease-of-use: Is the tool easy to use and implement?
â Relationship builder: Can you build a database with the tool and--at the same time-reach, strengthen and build relationships with customers more quickly?
â Quick online campaign-tracking capabilities: Can you analyze what you've sent to
customers and quickly find out if your customers are clicking through your e-mail
campaigns?
â Professional e-mail marketing templates: Are there professional campaign
templates that allow for e-mail and direct-mail capabilities, enabling you and your
business to look marketing savvy?
â Cost-effective: Are costs affordable, averaging less than $30 per month?

121. This unusual campaign pushed an idea that seemed too
good to be true: an opportunity to âhousesit the
famously beautiful islands of the Great Barrier Reefâ for
half a year, with a home base on Hamilton Island.
Anyone could apply by simply submitting a video
application for public consideration.
The interest was overwhelming, with the submission
website crashing only two days after the launch of the
campaign due to excessive visits and video uploading.
Tourism Queensland and SapientNitro also had a strong
presence across social media spaces, including
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and MySpace.

sting) and it even went on to win numerous awards at the Cannes Lions
