Ideas

A great idea! Some of the most interesting video clips I've watched on youtube are ads. Such as the Sony Bravia ads and the Honda car parts made into a Rube Goldberg machine ads. It's a shame that advertisers don't know how much I enjoyed their ads.

Good idea.
What I don't understand:
Incentives are given to users to come to the site to vote for ads, in form of drawings?????

Hi Vanhees:

Sorry for the confusion.
What I meant was in order to get people to vote online (which probably requires registration), they need to be motivated by the sponsors.
The sponsors give away "things" or users can enter "drawings" to win stuff.
The idea was a way to get the people to vote, an incentive of some sort.

I like the idea and it makes sense to include an incentive. Maybe it is something that can be combined with the idea of last week from Moogy (http://www.cambrianh.../ideas-id/BYicDj1/). Good luck!

hmm very interesting

Look at Nielsen Media!! They providing info for years.

its like making a survey via ads....

Or they could suggest and send in "mock-ups" of how they would like their next advert, getting products in return if chosen with some getting goods for second-places etc.

I don't see how you're going to find enough people who feel strongly enough about television advertising to give up precious time to log on every day and rate what they've seen. Even if you do, you're likely only to see a certain demographic, which is of very limited use to advertisers.

Yay! A tool that provides marketers with greater ammunition for more effective manipulation. It's good for the corporations, but not good for the consumers.

Yes, the challenge is to get the consumers to vote.

That's why I thought "maybe" incentives should be given to consumers to vote and the more points they have the better chance they have to get picked for the monthly or weekly drawings.

Since this tool is valuable for the advertisers, they are the ones to provide the incentives; the challenge with that is that the site needs to show existing (tangable) demographics, that excites their appetite. Once the site is in the 2nd gear, then it becomes easier to get more advertisers.

That's the "only way" that came to my mind to generate the traffic.

Or maybe for the first phase to get the consumer's attention, we could offer the first 500 users x-numbers of stock options of the company, which on average generate x-amount of votes per week.
