Puneet Mehrotra has a good article introducing the The World of Contextual Advertising. He writes – ‘How much? Good question. I know of webpreneurs whose earnings range between $200 to $2,00,000 per month. Of course, it’s not child’s play. But no one said earning big bucks is a child’s play!…’
‘So what’s the next boom. Well the web pundits are saying it’s going to be behavioral advertising, where anonymous monitoring and tracking the content viewed, and length of visit are databased and analysed to predict an online behavioral pattern for the user. My say, well I doubt, complicated things seldom do well. And with most computers getting condomed by the day with firewalls and blockers and not to mention privacy violation litigation, I doubt if such a model would succeed. Well, that’s just my say, time will tell what will do well. But yes contextual advertising is definitely there to stay. Notepad is still the favorite editor, no application in the world has been able to replace it so far. SMS is still the favorite text-messaging tool. Bells and whistles might pretend to make noise but simplicity sings its own song.’
