Although the Internet provides new scope for creative approaches to advertising, we see its true advantages when we realise how trackable (and therefore measurable) Internet advertising is. It is possible to track all interactions with the advert itself: how many impressions and clicks it received, post click and view data, and how many unique users were reached.
According to Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google “The Internet will transform advertising because of its trackability, not its beauty” (Lieb 2002).
