The iPad is a compelling, revolutionary device and has a lot of features that allow for browsing the web, emails, online games, videos, navigation maps and practically all kinds of multimedia options. The iPad is quite similar to the iPhone and iPod touch when it comes to functionality and uses the same operating system – iPhone OS.
The popularity of the iPad has led to the emergence of iPad development - a service that allows 3rd party service providers to develop iPad applications for users.
Some of the most popular apps under iPad development are the applications for news, entertainment, travel and social networking. Also, there is a growing demand for apps with regard to doing business. Along with regular iPad development, is the bigger challenge of making content available even when ‘offline’. To this end, both content providers and advertisers have to develop apps that can thrive in an offline environment. Ad servers also have to ensure that the quality of web ads is high enough to be visually appealing on the iPad.
Advertising Challenges on the iPad
Managing advertisements on the iPad requires ...
... that the app itself has to be able to serve content even when offline and connect with another ad server once the internet connection is established. One of the most successful aspects of advertising is ‘contextual’ advertising and with apps that may be offline, this important factor may be lost. On the web, within minutes of publishing, the leading search engines get to know and they index the new pages. iPad development need to address this issue. With the new iPad and its demands, advertisers have to deal with this problem and accordingly handle both online and offline ad serving.
Response of the iPad development
“Click-thru” links is one thing that is undergoing a change with the advent of the iPad. With ads being available for viewing, the “click-thru” URLs that take the user to a particular page when clicked (online), are now becoming redundant. Also, these clicks tend to get the user into another app or page and getting back to the original app can be cumbersome.
Ad servers are also looking at the model of having a micro-site which is a complex HTML 5 that can store multiple videos and pictures which allows the user to explore the offerings of the advertiser, without having to leave the app at all. This feature allows the ad server to supply rich content and therefore a more compelling experience to the users. The publishers prefer this because of the premium value they get from ad placements and obviously the customers / users like it because of the interactive possibilities of the brands that they choose to follow.
