Online Marketing Glossary: Dynamic Content
Dynamic Content:
- Information of webpages which changes, or is changed automatically.
The most relevant dynamic content to online marketing is ad servers. Services like OpenX, Google Ad Manager, and the recent WordPress plugin release MaxBannerAds make it easy to rotate your ads effortlessly to deliver fresh content to your visitors. Widgets also provide great dynamic content.

Online Marketing Glossary: Affiliate Link
Affiliate Link:
- A piece of code residing in a graphic image or piece of text that is placed on an affiliate’s webpage, notifying the merchant that an affiliate should be credited for the customer or visitor sent to their website.
Traditionally these links have been within banner images or text links, but more and more people are turning to dynamic widgets. Amazon has been the one of the best advertisers to come out with new and dynamic widgets, like their mp3 widgets and carousel widgets.

Online Marketing Glossary: Geographical Targeting
Geographical Targeting:
- The analytical process of making decisions on the regions and locales on which a company should focus its marketing efforts.
This is second nature to most marketers, and really on some level is purely common sense. If you own a local jewelry store, it does no good to advertise on national television. Use your marketing and advertising budget to target local consumers on the local network affiliates, billboards, buses, and more traditional regional advertising.

Online Marketing Glossary: Minimum Bid
Minimum Bid:
- The least amount that an advertiser can bid for a keyword or keyword phrase and still be active on the search ad network. This amount can range from $0.01 to $0.50 or more for highly competitive keywords, and is set by the search engines.
You must remember to keep money in your advertising account to meet these minimums. It’s a terrible feeling to see that a top performing campaign has been shut down because you’ve failed to meet the minimums. Most networks offer tools to assist in managing these minimums and avoiding any problems if you have to take an extended absence from monitoring your campaigns.

Not bad considering that I haven’t been posting a lot of good content lately. I admit, I’ve been in a slump. A general lack of motivation and drive has resulted in my taking days upon days off and not blogging that much here. I’ve been spending ample time on Twitter, a good amount of time on my new fancy BlackBerry Curve, and of course doing what it is that I get paid for at PsPrint.
Actually, my hats have been expanding here. I’ve been doing more web development on small projects to assist with our overloaded graphic services department, and I’ve been doing more development of images for our e-mail campaigns. It’s nice to have something new and different to do every once in awhile; it definitely is something I’m very capable and willing to do and breaks up the monotony of staring at CJ weeding through affiliate applications.
I’ve also given myself a sabbatical on the social networking. I haven’t sent anything through StumbleUpon or Digg, and haven’t been stumbling or digging anything lately either. It was getting to be too big of a distraction during the day, and trying to get everything done was a hassle.
Now it feels like things are calming down a bit now that we’re two weeks or so out from the holiday weekend and I’ll probably be picking up where I left off on the social media stuff, ramping up and collecting tips for my roundtable discussion next month.
Do you have any social media and networking tips to share?
