What if you feel the need to leave your mark? – Is online digital graffiti and fly postering the way forward?

Can the internet cure the itch for tagging and provide a useful outlet for the scourge of the urban environment? Such a thing could tap into an overlooked means of marketing yourself or your business – so would you leave your mark?

Tagging, Graffiti, marking – whatever you call it, it is still one of the oldest means for an individual to leave something for others to see. It has been used since 30,000BCE as cave paintings, marks on walls from the Roman period and from the ashes of Pompeii. These days there are convenient bright colours from cans that could last almost as long but the method still prevails. Some people see it as modern art – others see vandalism and can show social or political issues.

Can the method of graffiti be brought into the 21 ^st century using current advances in the internet and social media? Well people could certainly create graffiti for use online but why would you use spray paint on a wall when you can draw your artwork on paper and scan or photograph it!

Reasons why graffiti artists wouldn’t like this way to show their work:

It’s too tame! – Where is the danger? Where are the police? No land owners and local authorities are going to get annoyed and no rival gangs are going to kick-off! Ok not all graffiti artists are anti-social criminals but the culture surrounding it has ties to some of the less impressive corners of society. They might not want to because of technical reasons – like not being able photograph or scan their work.

Reasons why graffiti artists should use this way to show their work:
You want people to see your tag? – How do 10,000 pairs of eyes a day sound to you? Such visibility is not impossible online, in-fact that is quite a conservative number. Those eyes aren’t just from around your patch either as websites have a global reach, you could find yourself in competition from someone thousands of miles away. You can include links to other websites too and also your social networking pages, what better way to show off to all your friends – and enemy’s. A good reason for digital graffiti would be the cleaner look the city environment and the peace of mind knowing you’re not going to be prosecuted.

It is doubtful that this method will completely replace graffiti being found on the sides of walls and buildings but it does offer an effective alternative, and who knows – it might become popular.

Cementing the digital wall concept - getting it down from a fine art to a commercial reality.

Questioning the online viability of digital graffiti and fly postering and can it be made to reflect the real world equivalent.

There has been a way of displaying a message to the public that is villainized and shunned as a unsightly nuisance to our environment and we have all seen it at some point or another in our lives! We are talking about graffiti and fly postering, usually undertaken by companies that are looking to advertise to a general audience at a minimum cost, in places that receive frequent footfalls and by youths and gangs marking territory. What if there was a way to satisfy these requirements without getting put in prison? Well thanks to the wonderful power of the internet it is possible and many webmasters have been trying to make it a reality for quite a few years - with mixed success!

Why have website creators been unsuccessful?
There have been and are many attempts online to digitise this real world phenomenon - some are quite interesting and the closest that have made money are pixel pages. The common reasons will be of technical issues or individual lack of knowledge of how to market a business online and they give up. As the title suggests it’s a problem of turning an artistic representation into a useful online resource that regular website and business owners can use and benefit from. So in order to be successful commercially such a site will need an above average visitor rate and equally high ranking in searches.

Can fly posters and graffiti be made popular on the internet?
If the right sort and amount of people began to realise the real world and online potential of such a way of advertising than perhaps it would become popular. If you consider the reach of any highly visited site of say a million a month then that would make the real world equivalent seem pointless. Banner advertising is a mainstay of any online advertising campaign and are found on nearly every site but going back to the "wall", "graffiti" and "fly poster" ideas wouldn’t you say it's the same practice? So beyond the artistic side of the concept any site with this idea would need to approach it from a useful SEO and advertising viewpoint and utilise current trends in social and video marketing.
