Website Promotion & Online Advertising
Target Marketing
In your history of surfing the web, you must have visited a
site that says it is a "shopping mall" site. It contains
thousands of items from hundreds of different topics. How
often have you purchased from one of these sites? Probably,
not often, unless it was a major website with a huge budget.
Small business websites should consider catering to small
niche
markets.
When deciding what products you are going to sell, choose
just a few products and specialize in those products.
It's much tougher to advertise a site that sells a wide
variety of
products due to generalization. If you have
a narrow, well defined set of products, your whole advertising campaign will be
easier and more effective.
This is especially true when marketing to search engines.
General
keywords are difficult to rank competitively. Specific keywords
can achieve much better rankings. A good article to
read on this business concept is called Narrow Your
focus.

Banner Ads
Banner Advertising can be a valuable way of marketing
your website and business. Banner advertising is
typically purchased in bulk and therefore can be expensive.
Business benefit from aligning their banner ads with only
the most targeted keywords. Banner ads can be charged
per impression or per-click-through. Every time your
banner is displayed is considered an impression. This
is more expensive but is beneficial in building a brand
name. Every time a consumer clicks on your banner and
hyper-links to your site is considered a "click-through".
This is therefore less expensive and focused on generating
traffic.
Keyword Ads
A most effective form of banner advertising is referred to
as keyword ads. Keywords ads get served by provider
sites and search engines when pre-determined keywords are
searched y users on the site. Keyword banner ads can
be charged per impression or per-click-through. Unless
you are advertising on a web site that generally attracts
your target customers, keyword advertising assures that
visitors with interest in your keywords will see your online
banner ad. Several top search engines offer keyword
advertising.
