Intermediate/ Excerpt... Google+ has figured out a new way to monetize its social platform and drive more traffic back to it from across the web, with a promoted posts feature called “+Post.” The concept of +Post is similar to what you may be used to in other social networks – a brand pays for premium placement of a post – except instead of ads showing up within the Google+ network, they will be placed across Google’s Display Network, driving users back to the brand’s Google+ profile.
+Post ads amplify your brand’s content by easily turning Google+ posts into display ads that run across the web. The live, social ad format allows you to go beyond clicks to live conversations with your audience. People can join a Hangout On Air, add a comment, follow your brand or give a +1, right from an ad.

Twitter\'s advancements in the ad platform combined with a still growing number of active users means that there\'s opportunity for any size advertiser for direct response or social media growth. Digest... The self-service platform is clean, easy to use, and fast (amazing how important that aspect is). More importantly, the targeting features have been expanded and now provide a robust set of options for advertisers. Twitter Ads is unique in the social media ad space, as there are multiple actions, or engagements, to target and track. There are clicks (on links and hashtags), retweets, replies, and follows.
When you set a bid, you are bidding on all of these engagements - thus, the cost-per-engagement (CPE) metric. Important note: the effective CPE (eCPE) metric reported on your Twitter Ads campaigns is not your actual cost-per-engagement. Twitter looks at clicks, replies, and follows that occur after someone retweets the Promoted Tweet. While you didn't pay for those engagements directly, they still occurred as a result of your ad. Just be aware and understand what that stat means!
The latest news from Twitter Ads is the inclusion of Cards. In particular is the Lead Generation Card where you can capture lead information directly in Twitter! For now this is only available to managed Twitter clients, but will soon roll out to self-serve advertisers, too.
Marteq's insight:
It really is easy, and of course, easy to test. The Lead Generation Card is a great innovation from Twitter, so we encourage you to test Twitter Ads now, ahead of the LeadGen Card rollout.

![Facebook Exchange news feed campaigns as powerful as AdWords [data] - Brafton | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/cI-q-kfktuOpX0HQyzMazaWwCjYPSNRaTxwW-1h4YRQ=)
Two case studies suggest that FBX news feed campaigns sometimes outperform name brands' AdWords programs. Condensed... Advertisers who use pay-per-click models to drive traffic back to their websites should investigate potential lead generation and conversion opportunities through Facebook Exchange (FBX). According to a new report from Triggit, an FBX partner, companies can see impressive results through social media marketing via Facebook. In some instances, results rival or outperform campaigns on Google AdX.
[The] international retailer and large apparel site saw CTRs 16 to 24x higher than alternative FBX options, which rival averages from AdWords. The international retailer’s campaign is 38x higher than its Google AdX efforts.
Perhaps more important for businesses is FBX news feed campaigns’ cost effectiveness. Triggit reported that its two clients saw much lower cost per acquisition (CPA) rates than right-side FBX ads and Google AdX campaigns.
Marteq's insight:
If your content distribution strategy includes FB, then you may want to test this program. Although the report focuses on B2C advertisers, there may be an opportunity (thus the "test" recommendation).

Search marketing expert Joe Kerschbaum shares 7 tips for effectively using the Google Display Network for B2B marketing. Key excerpt... Here are a few statistics from a recent Demand Gen report, “2012 B2B Buyer Behavior Survey:” 67% of B2B buyers are using a wider variety of resources to research vendors & products; 55% say they spend more time researching purchases; 60% of buyers state that white papers and other authoritative content are extremely influential in the purchase process. The data from this report is important, especially for the GDN, for a few reasons: In general, B2B buyers are spending more time researching purchases online. This means that the GDN is a perfect match for this mindset. On the GDN advertisers can place ads alongside content that is relevant and timely for their products. Also, the purchase intent of B2B buys is a great match for the GDN. When many B2B buyers are conducting research, they aren’t in the mode to purchase yet. They are still in the research mode. We have found that softer conversion actions such as whitepapers, case studies, free trials and free demos work great on the GDN. So, the mindset of a B2B buyer is focused on research and hunting great content – and the by placing ads through the GDN, advertisers can get in front of the right people at the right time with the right conversion action.

We don't see the ROI here relative to other tactics, but always strive to keep you informed as to the pros and cons of various tactics.

Having worked at a self-serve demand side platform (DSP) for over 2 years, one of the most common questions I get when trying to explain the concept of a DSP to others is: “Isn’t that kind of like AdWords? Excerpted... Most DSPs are similar to AdWords in that they are used to create ad campaigns. But, DSPs provide advertisers access into the vendor-neutral RTB (real time bidding) ecosystem; whereas AdWords only allows campaigns to run within the Google network. The differences go beyond that, as well, especially on the display advertising side of things.
AdWords is obviously the king of search engine marketing (SEM) platforms. But when it comes to display advertising, the industry has evolved beyond what AdWords offers. Superior reach, targeting, and optimization are now found in the realm of real-time bidding technology and realized through demand-side platforms.

IF you're contemplating display advertising, then this should be of keen interest to you.

totally agree with you and it is definitely an eye opener. Some amazing figures. This would be useful while planning your communication mix and how to implement it. If you look closely at the data somehting that stands out is the time each unique visitor spends / month on each site and Facebook leads by four times the time of google so it can be said that facebook may be a more effective tool to penetrate the market?

After spending a year in limited release, Twitter has finally opened its self-service advertising program to the public. Excerpt... Twitter's self-service platform offers Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts as advertising formats. Both formats are labeled as “Promoted” when they appear on the social network so that users can easily identify them as paid advertisements. That said, all Promoted content is displayed next to regular content on a Twitter user’s newsfeed, which means that these ads don’t interrupt the user experience. Promoted Tweets, for example, appear in the newsfeed on mobile devices, desktops, laptops and tablets, while Promoted Accounts are featured in the “Who to follow” area of the homepage.
5 Best Practices 1. Take advantage of location targeting 2. Reach relevant people/groups 3. Target based on device/platform 4. Don’t be over-promotional 5. Amplify existing tweets

Finally. You definitely want to incorporate this into your inbound marketing paid media strategy.

No. I don't think online advertising on social media like Facebook would work.

Posting in it's entirety... Ads on social networks perform better than ads on other channels, according to a study by media intelligence company Aggregate Knowledge. The study, “Q4 2012 Global Media Intelligence Report,” was based on an analysis of 530 online ad campaigns for Fortune 500 brands, with more than 35 billion ad impressions. It found that, on average, ads on social networks perform 2.5 times better than ads on ad networks, ad exchanges and portals. Also, according to the study, ad exchanges deliver clicks and conversions at a cost 29% below other channels, including social networks, portals and ad networks.
Marteq's insight:
Definitely food for thought for the B2B Marketer.

Too broad of a study for our liking, as it doesn't differentiate B2B marketers, however, the overall study's finding may be applicable to LinkedIn. FWIW, and a snippet... U.S. consumers spend 20 percent of their online time and 30 percent of their smartphone time on social media—accounting for a whopping 121 billion minutes each month. And marketers are starting to adjust their ad campaigns and budgets to keep pace, according to a recent survey commissioned by Vizu, a Nielsen company. While 89 percent of the advertisers surveyed said they use free tools—such as pages, posts, likes and pins—75 percent say they currently invest in paid social media advertising, which includes tactics such as sponsored content, brand graphs and driving likes. In fact, 64 percent plan to spend more on social in the future.
