The Myth of 'Clicks'

When it comes to digital advertising, "click-throughs" are no longer king.

That's what leading online brands such as Facebook have learned. According to Brad Smallwood, Facebook head of measurement and insights, "While designing online ads to garner clicks makes sense for certain types of companies -- such as e-commerce firms trying to ring up immediate online sales -- clicks are not relevant to brand marketers."

For brand advertisers, fine-tuning the number of times a consumer sees an ad as well as ensuring that the ad has reached all of its target audience are far more effective techniques, most leading firms have learned. The best approach, these companies say, is to think of a website as a digital billboard: Put your ad in the right place, and you'll be sure all your prospects see it. That's how you build a brand in the digital age: one viewer, and not one click, at a time.
