Steve himself noted at WWDC that iAds would go live for “all iOS 4 devices” on Canada Day, and sure enough, they look to be popping up today. One eagle-eyed tipster has already found one within the ‘Mirror: for iPod and iPhone’ app, shown above. It’s certainly quite a bit more visually soothing than some other ads we’ve seen, but we aren’t here to judge — instead, we’d love to hear your take on it. Have you seen any iAds creep into your apps today? Whatcha think of ‘em? Let us know in comments below.

Update: Looks like a Nissan Leaf iAd has debuted as well; the vid’s after the break of that one.

Update 2
: Oh, and this is just for North America for now. Everyone else will have to wait. Crushing, we know.

[Thanks, Spencer]

paid advertising <-- $1 --> social marketing ?

if you had a dollar to spend today, where would you spend it? on paid advertising or on social marketing? why?

Paid advertising – it’s over once it’s aired

Social Marketing

1. peers telling peers – a lot more effective and trusted by modern consumers than a paid ad

2. archived conversations – when people take social actions like rate, review, comment, recommend, and share, these actions are archived for everyone to see online (valuable to future users doing research)

3. it yields a continuously increasing stream of free traffic (enhances SEO efforts)

after seo paid advertising  <    $1    >  social marketing ?


So whatcha gonna do?
