From Jennifer Laycock... Word is out that 30 second spots during this year's SuperBowl are going for a cool $3 million. That's unattainable cash for most small businesses. Even still, I have to wonder if it's a worthwhile investment for the companies that CAN afford it. Surely there's a better way to leverage $3 million to deliver a solid return and ongoing return.

Even with no budget this piece is a good reminder to get working on some blog posts that can capitalize on Sunday and Monday searches.

Many of the biggest success stories in the new millenium have been built without advertising budgets. Think Facebook, YouTube, MySpace and Wikipedia which all grew rapidly as a result of the social and viral elements of the web (and a very good idea!).

I wonder what the cost of a SuperBowl ad will be in 10 years time. Will the internet have eroded television enough as the primary entertainment medium to devalue television advertising..?
