More on BT and McDonald's

More on BT and McDonald's 01/07/2004 02:37 PM
BT officially announced that it will build hotspots in over 500 McDonald's restaurants in Britain: BT will pay for the install and both companies will promote it and share revenues. BT expects to have 4,000 hot spots by this summer and said it will continue to make roaming agreements with other hot spot operators around the globe. This story offers slightly different details, including some more information on what's happening with McDonald's hot spots in the U.S. A recent survey of McDonald's hot spots in the U.S. showed that customers are predominantly male, many of whom said they would not have visited McDonald's if not for the Wi-Fi. So much for the campaign to encourage people to eat healthier....

McDonald's and iTunes

McDonald's and iTunes 11/06/2003 09:59 AM
McDonalds plans to give away up to one billion iTunes Music Store songs to its customers. Like Pepsi, McDonald's will pay Apple 99 centers per song downloaded as a result of the giveaway. Because not all customers will take advantage of the offer, it is likely that the campaign will generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue for the iTunes Music Store. Apple and McDonald's were not available for comment. [Discussion]

McDonald's Trying DVD Rentals... Again?

McDonald's Trying DVD Rentals... Again? 05/24/2004 05:37 PM
A year and a half ago we noted that McDonald's had decided to run a trial program in the Washington DC area, where they offered DVD rentals out of a large vending machine at their stores. There wasn't much news about the program, and it seemed safe to assume it wasn't going anywhere. However, today, McDonald's is announcing what sounds like an identical DVD rental program in Denver - without mentioning at all that they've already tried this. It's a bit odd that they would roll out a second "test" program so much later, and not even admit they had done an earlier test of an identical system.

No iTunes for McDonald's after all 11/07/2003 11:07 AM
Despite an article in the New York Post that Apple and McDonald's were teaming up to offer one billion iTunes song downloads to McDonald's customers, a statement issued by the fast-food giant denies any such agreement exists. "There are no agreements to announce, so anything else is pure speculation." Were the story true, the promotion could end up costing McDonald's up to $990 million for online music downloads, a figure higher than the company's entire 2002 advertising...

iTunes and McDonald's? 11/06/2003 08:47 AM
The New York Post is reporting that Apple and McDonald's are close to announcing a promotional partnership, with McDonald's offering up to one billion free downloads from the iTunes Music Store. Like a similar deal announced with Pepsi last month, McDonald's will pay Apple the full 99 cents for each song downloaded. This, given that some will not redeem their prizes, puts the value of the deal in the hundreds of millions. The Pepsi deal, which offers 100 million free iTMS downloads, begins February 1, during the superbowl. The McDonald's promotion, still unofficial, has no current start date.

But the more interesting technology implementations are aimed at boosting productivity. Many of them involve wireless, though this article doesn't include many specifics about which applications will use which type of network. 225 managers and other mobile workers will use smartphones instead of laptops and mobile phones and they'll use both Wi-Fi and GPRS connections. That change is expected to save £600 per employee....

Adsense Article

Adsense Article 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

Google's AdSense a bonanza for some Web sites: An article about AdSense that states numbers, which is rare:

Tales of AdSense riches range from a few hundred dollars a month to $50,000 or more a year, though high-dollar paydays are rare. They require a Web site with tons of traffic and the ability to put in 18-hour days working the system. [...]

In his first four months of Web publishing, AdSense brought in $45,000. Some of his blogs produce $3,000 a month. His best do "four figures," Calacanis says, though he's reluctant to fill in the exact numbers. "And that's with zero marketing," he says.

There are some detractors:

"This is a program that rewards people not for creating the best content, but for how to create sites to attract more advertising," says Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Watch online newsletter. "AdSense has nothing to do with search. It effectively turns the Internet into a billboard for Google's ads."

I've been happy with the program, and that's all I think I'm allowed to say about it.
