Android Users Consume More Ads

April 23rd, 2010

Android users, only 5.2% of U.S. smartphones, accounted for 42% of ad requests in AdMob’s report. IPhone users generated 44%, nearly the same percentage of ad requests as Android, but from five times the marketshare: 25.3%. Blackberry lags, with 41.6% market share generating only 7% of ad requests.

Worldwide, Android’s share of smartphone ad requests jumped from 2% in February, 2009 to 24% in February, 2010. numbers follow a similar pattern. That 24%, half iPhone’s share, comes from less than 5% of the world’s smartphone market, while Apple generates its 50% of requests from almost 15% of worldwide smartphone sales. Again, Blackberry trails far behind, its almost 20% of worldwide smartphones accounting for only 4% of ad requests.

Ford’s Success In Mobile Marketing

February 11th, 2010

Ford ran a campaign on the Idle Screen and achieved a 20% click-through rate. Compare that with average click-through rates on the 6th mass media legacy PC based internet banner ads, which get 0.2% click through rates. So Ford achieved literally not 10x better response rates, but 100x better response rates. Awesome. They hit 1 million customers, and received 200,000 visits from those.
