Replacement Advertising on the Web - Is it Legally and Ethically

Advertisements are an important vehicle designed to promote or help sell a product, service or idea (Young, 2014, p.35). As a dimension of IMC, advertising is “…most often associated with offenses that attract attention from critics and regulators alike” (Young, 2014, p.34). This can be

For example virgin media ad was misleading it said that there speed was 40mbps faster however virgin is slower also The Advertising Standards Authority has banned two Virgin Media broadband adverts for promoting “unlimited downloads” with “no caps” on data usage because the ISPs Traffic Management Policy was found to contradict this by imposing an “immoderate” restriction on customers service speeds. Virgin were reducing the download speeds of some customers by -50% and the ASA described this as “not moderate“

For marketers it may help their businesses if people click on the ads. But for consumers they have too much power on their computers. I personally think it is annoying having all these ads on the side on the screen half of them I could care less about. So it does not seem to make sense as to why they have all this power over what we browse on the internet. Unfortunately though internet tracking is dangerous and can go a lot further than using information for ads. CBS News wrote a story on a woman who was stalked and killed through information that is given out on the internet. “Complicating matters further are criminals who break into Web sites, steal the information and use it for personal gain,”(Sullivan.B, N.D). There should be better security tracking on the internet if marketers are going to have control to see what we do. It also seems that we are not always educated either though on what settings we have up on our computers. Most people have their third party cookies enabled because we are unaware of the privacy issues, which result in the cookies, (Fighting Internet Surveillance, N.D.).. “There's nothing necessarily sinister about this subterranean data exchange: this is, after all, the advertising ecosystem that supports free online content” (MADRIGAL.A, 2012). It seems like there is a divide in what people believe is right against wrong. In one sense if they did not track what we did companies would have no ads to use n the side of our screens. With companies tracking what we do it can also lead to more personal issues that could later harm

The emergence of ad-free software has adversely impact the development of music, entertainment, and news industries, which, to a large extent, rely on revenue from advertising for

Direct-to-Consumer Advertisements have both good and bad aspects to it, as discussed previously. The question that comes to mind is whether or not the beneficial sides outweigh the bad ones in the eyes of consumers, physicians, and other healthcare providers. According to Kannan et al (1), 97 physicians of the 155 surveyed, reported that patients asked about a drug advertisement they had seen. Of those 97 physicians, 51 of them agreed that the drugs they questioned about were not useful for their condition. Only 51 physicians of the 155 thought that this would help strengthen the relationship between them and their patients. Rather, 82 doctors thought it would hurt the relationships. This could be due in part that the doctor would be declining

Now, when knowing the placement of where an ad was placed, Karen McGrane was able to build websites that went around these ads to still create something great. With advertisers getting smarter and smarter on where they placed their ads, it was time for the web designers to start upping their game as well. Back in the day, it use to be that the banner was either placed at the top of a web page or the bottom of a web page, but as you can see times have certainly changed. You can see ads in various positions on websites now a days and even get those aggravating pop-ups! I learned that you should always "package your unit as a sponsorship,"(McGrane,2009) since advertisements like to make it seem as if your work was "brought to you" by them. I am actually curious to see how the smart the web will get in years to come. Computer softwares are steadily changing and being generated, therefore, there is no telling what the future holds for the web industry, but it is continuously

Ad. Council is a non-profit company and is also America’s leading producer if PSAs has made a PSA Advertisement (See Figure 1) “Hunger likes action movies, too.” that targets middle and high class Americans that is definitely not successful. The AD has an abundance of emptiness, consists of three colors white barely being used, green being the second most used and the orange being the background and the primary color used. The largest text of the AD consists of a phrase that has no context, and the message of the AD being placed below it in a green horizontal bar.

Any corporation that has advertisements on the Internet is going to depend on location of these ads to bring them business. The placement of these commercials can display as pop ups and can forward you to other different sites that could take away from the business. This can be frustrating to anyone that uses a computer or the Internet to do research.

In this advertisement they use emotions as a persuasive strategy. They are showing this confused, worried, discouraged young man who is about to head to the prom alone and trying to gather himself up to face this situation that even his 6 years old sister finds it wearied. He looks sad with no effect of his mother comfort. Then, all of this changes 360 degrees after his father tosses to him his car key. He looked full of energy and bravery while he was driving the car that appeared as a monster eating the road. Now he is feeling confident with girls looking at him and show their admiration with his car. He is even confident enough to kiss a girl without her permission and do not think about repercussion which is, an expected, a Blackeye. Despite all of this he looked so happy while he was driving his car on his way home as if he had the kiss from the girl of his dreams and spent a wonderful time with her.

The World Wildlife Fund, a prominent organization founded in hopes of preserving the natural environment and ecosystem, published an advertisement in 2008 on the issue of climate change and how it may affect the future of humans. The advertisement illustrates a somewhat dreadful portrait of a disheartened humanoid fish wearing human clothing and gazing up into the faint light. This represents the outcome of the evolutionary changes that humans will be subject to as the climate changes and as the sea level rises as a result. The consequences of climate change affect the entire world. For this reason, the advertisement aims at targeting people of all ages and genders; however, the educated are especially targeted with its incorporation of the
