Online Web Advertising
Online web advertising includes all of the methods by which businesses attempt to get Web surfers attention and sell their products and services. Pop up ads, banners, sidebar links, social networks, emails and affiliate networks are all methods used by businesses to attract new customers and gain leads for new sales generation. But advertising on the Internet has been around for almost fifteen years and many users are looking at the ads they see on the Web in a different way. Online web promotion is becoming more and more of a science as everyday users of the Internet are becoming increasingly irritated by the many ways that web advertising can often surreptitiously take over a website that one is trying to view. The challenge for advertisers these days is to consider and find other ways of getting viewers' attention.
The methods for Internet promotions haven't really changed much in the past ten years. Pop up ads are still a big staple among a lot of advertisers, but they drive net surfers crazy. Researchers are quick to point out that pop ups are the highest rated form of despised advertising. Ads that try and bait surfers into clicking on it rated almost as low and ads that suddenly appear and hide what you are really trying to view are also widely disdained. When online web advertising doesn't have close buttons, and when the ad floats across the screen, or plays sound without asking for it, the ads are very annoying to Internet surfers according to research. So before a person ever relies on these pass kinds of online web advertising ploys, more time should be spent on highly proven methods of promotion.
SEO, better known as search engine optimization is an important tool that a website must have in order to be page one ranked by various search engine result pages. Search engines have so called robot spiders that scan pages looking for keyword phrases that are used by a surfer when looking for information. The more the website is constructed for optimal discovery and display potential, the more opportunities there will be for sales and marketing. SEO is critical in the overall plan for online web advertising. Research proves that sixty percent of surfers, when looking for specific Internet information, never travel beyond page one of the search engine results in their search.
Probably the most innocuous ads and the ones least offensive come from sidebar invitational links to other sites. These links are usually a part of an affiliate marketing network that attempts to join hundreds of likeminded websites and give each site the opportunity to make money from links to other affiliate sites. Affiliate promotion works something like this. The Way Olde Candle Shoppe joins an affiliate network that joins seven hundred and fifty home decoration, craft, hobby, and holiday and furniture websites. The WOC Shoppe has five pages on its site and so it agrees to sponsor over seventy five links or ads to other network websites and several hundred agree to place the WOC Shoppe's ad on their pages. Money is exchanged through a number of different options in the affiliate marketing agreement including, pay per sales, pay per impression and pay per click although this one is falling out of fashion with many online web advertising gurus. While some sites only make a few hundred dollars a month from sponsoring other companies' ads with this kind of arrangement, traffic to the WOC Shoppe's home site rose dramatically as a result of its participation in the affiliate online web advertising network.
Did you know that Christians can walk through life confident of God's ultimate care and protection? "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1) Affiliate marketing would now be considered a traditional mode of online web advertising, but some marketing experts suggest that companies consider the viral marketing power of social networking websites. Sites such as Face book, MySpace, Bebo and others allow for specific targeting in terms of age, gender, location, interests and have the built in viral advertising potential of being passed to many other friends and colleagues. Specific instructions in how to take advantage of this viral potential can be found on various websites. But there are other ways that can help in a company's quest to increase its footprint on the Internet.
Online web advertising is moving into the realm of being a partner with the idea of helping people find answers, not necessarily making a sale. This is a difficult concept for hardcore business people to accept, but in the process of helping customers find answers to their questions without a hard sell, more business can ultimately be achieved. Internet gurus agree that writing blogs that answer questions without trying to sell products is a powerful 21st century tool in marketing. The blog is a chance to write personally, without a bunch of hype and it allows the writer to become a sort of expert or "turn to" person when potential clients or customers have questions. The blog can have sidebar invitations to visit the company website and an invitation at the end of the blog, but the blog should be used for informational purposes, not product presentation. The idea is to get people to come back again and again and pass the blog on to others for their enlightenment also.
