Banner Ads

Banner ads are advertisements placed into the body of a website. As a simple example, if you have a business that sells golf equipment, you might place banner ads on a golfing website. Banner ads are very much like the internet equivalent of putting up a poster in a public place. They can include pictures and / or text to describe your business to potential customers. Banner ads can either be charged for on a cost per impression basis, or a cost per click basis. Basically, with cost per impression you pay a certain amount for every thousand users who sees your ad, and with cost per click you pay a certain amount for every user who clicks on your ad. Both methods have their advantages in certain uses.

Contextual Ads

Contextual advertising scans the content of websites, and displays ads on the website that are related to its content. Contextual advertising is used on search engines as well to display ads to users based on the keywords that the user is searching for. This is a type of targeted advertising. This makes it easier for you to get your ads out onto websites where the users will be more likely to be interested in your business.

Sponsored Ads

Search engines also offer space for ads on their search results pages. You can pay to have your ad come up on the results page whenever someone searches for certain keywords. Usually, these sponsored ads are placed on the side of the page next to the ordinary search results. Sometimes sponsored ads can be put right into the search results, but they will still usually be labeled with “sponsored ad.” Sponsored ads are another good way to get your ads in front of people who are searching for terms related to your business.
