Effective methods of online ads

By Rohndra Tanderly

Everyone knows that advertising is important in growing a business. You won't sell what you have to offer if people don't know you exist. With the advent of the internet, advertising is a little more complex than it has been in the past. Not only do you have the traditional options for your advertising dollars, you also have many options for online advertising.

Advertising that is targeted to people that already interested in what you have to offer is an obvious choice. Put yourself in your customer's place. If you were looking for the product you are offering, what words would you use to search for it?

Google AdWords is a great example of pay per click advertising. Some times this type of online advertising is referred to as PPC. A link is placed on a page triggered by a keyword and you only pay for this type of advert when someone clicks through to your site.

Another way of advertising online is text link ads. This works by letting you select you keywords within the text of other sites out there and drive those people to your website.

Classified advertising lets you place an ad on a free classified website similar to newspaper classifieds. These options vary from free to paid. If you go this route find a high traffic site or one that offers classified ad syndication so that your classified ad gets the exposure it needs.

Start today. Use these methods to start bringing cheap traffic to your website. - 16003
