Google Analytics – Audio Ads & TV Ads effectiveness tracking in Google
Google Inc, that has been re-branding itself not as a search engine tool innovator, but as a highly effective advertising base, now supports analysis through slice & dice methods for all its Audio Ad & TV Ad customers. These services are launched from March 2008 through June 2008, and intends to provide one, single, integrated platform for tracking and launching advertisements through Google.
The Google Audio Ads program allows its radio ad buyers to track the impact of their broadcast spots on site traffic. The Audio Advertiser could now see where the ads are running, the time of day, and number of audio ad [air plays] overlaid with the analytics data.
The Google TV Ads program similarly allows its TV Advertisers to see when their TV ads ran, the number of impressions delivered, the cost they paid and the CPM. Those reports are integrated with other metrics already covered by Google Analytics, such as Web Site traffic, which allows marketers to see if their TV ads are impacting activity on their sites. Google sponsors about USD 2000 to TV Advertisers to popularize & boost its newly launched TV Ads system.
