Pay-for-performance Marketing (my thesis)

The idea for this blog came when i was researching my thesis on pay-for-performance marketing. There were so many good articles, case studies, research reports i found and saved as bookmarks that i thought i’d share them in a blog so that others who are researching the subject or are interested in the business application of it may use the information as well. I still have a huge bookmarks and downloads file that i can post in the blog.

Meanwhile, my thesis was finished in December and defended in January.
My goal was to provide an overview of current online advertising trends, the emergence of performance-based advertising methods, and discuss the advantages and challenges of search engine marketing and affiliate marketing in the context of online marketing.

The thesis provides a comprehensive overview of

  • pay-for-performance marketing, definitions, opportunities and challenges, current trends in the market,

  • a comparison of impression-based online advertising and performance-based advertising
  • detailed analysis of affiliate marketing as an online marketing and advertising method
  • detailed analysis of search engine marketing, both organic search marketing and search engine advertising.
  • a research study of attitudes towards online advertising with special emphasis on search engine advertising among “Internet-savvy” educated Internet users (conducted via a web-based survey)

    Hi,
    I am writing a thesis on technical aspects of SEO. It would be great if I could use your thesis to contrast SEO to other Internet marketing tools. Thank you!
