Advertisement – the cherished tradition |
|
Advertising – the focal point of marketing has cast its spell on the world of web sites. This is an important way to increase the traffic to your website. You will find even the top companies like HSBC/ CitiBank / Paypal / Monster display their advertisements at several popular sites to attract the targeted traffic. So, a popular website, which by default draws substantial traffic due to its nature of business like the websites dealing with Railway, Air Travel, Insurance, Car Donation, Mesothelioma, Income Tax, Cancer Society etc is the right place for you to place your advertisement. The population comes with specific needs of visitors, who visit NOT by choice, but by compulsion. So, a pop-up Ad or a banner Ad or even a box Ad at these sites help promote your website climb a rung higher in the Search Engine ladder.
More importantly these websites divert the traffic to your website which are supposed to bring more potential customers for you from relevant sites who are already convinced of buying such a service. Say, a person visiting an Income Tax site reasonably visits Insurance sites just for the sake of his personal interest or for looking at tax saving schemes. In turn visitors from such sites become prospective buyers for you. Don’t forget the golden statement from top-notch marketing guru of Dell Computers, people who calls you up on their own to enquire about a particular product, 40% of sales is complete, while the remaining is your own conversion capability. Alas! The concept of a web site was not there in those days. According to this philosophy the traffic routed from these sites comprises more prospective buyers than can be found among the normal crowd or even among the traffic drawn by the PPC campaigns. Often the only bottleneck becomes the budget. Generally these sites are offered at very premium prices. The ready-made solution becomes to opt for Google Adsense, Contera and any such advertisement procedure. How do they work? These sites display the sponsors’ advertisement at your site depending upon the theme of your website. You need to register yourself at these advertisement sites and then need to paste the code snippet, generated by these sites in your website. The engine will automatically read the content of your web page and accordingly display the relevant advertisements from their database. This not only helps you in enhancing your search engine ranking but also may be treated as a potential earning tool if visitors of your site click those links. Google Adsense displays advertisements of different shapes and display categories of your choice. Contera generally displays pop-up advertisements depending upon the relevant keyword of their choice. On the other hand, as the payment for becoming an affiliate for marketing your web site is significantly less, most of the websites can volunteer for such participation. The deal is equally simple like PPC, where you pay depending on the number of clicks. Conflicting content can attract misplaced advertisements from sites like Google Adsense that far from serving the purpose render the entire exercise of bringing in new traffic redundant. Hence content of a web site is of utmost importance which must be enhanced and changed periodically to retain the focus of a website. ----------------------------------------------------
