Introduction

The growth of information on the Internet attracts more and more people all the time. There are now more than 1.5 billion people worldwide with Internet access. Also, the amount of time those people are spending online is on the increase. This has opened a new global market with scope for growth. Currently the United Kingdom is leading the world in terms of web advertising measured as a percentage of total advertising spend. Worldwide, however, the trend to allocate more advertising spending to online media (away from traditional media) is quite evident.

Knowledge is power, and this couldn't be more true when considering web advertising. If you would like to learn more about online marketing, have a look at a series of articles written by Diane Charton and Jacqui Boyd, available from MarketingWeb. The same series is also available on our server as a PDF download. You simply cannot ignore the growing importance of web advertising if you are serious about marketing your brand.

Like all advertising that is undertaken, it is important that your campaign is cost effective and beneficial. Irrespective of your business model, a campaign must result in more revenue. With web advertising you have specific advantages, some of which we'll mention next.

Advantages of web advertising

• Low entry: you can advertise online even if you only have a small advertising budget. For example, banners are much cheaper to create, publish and deliver than a corresponding size print ad.
• Better ad tracking: in comparison to print the Internet offers excellent conversion tracking. With print advertising your only assurance is usually the circulation figure. However, with Internet advertising you can specify the number of ads you wish to publish and you can monitor how many have clicked through.
• Always on: the Internet is a 24/7/365 business. Few people realize that the Internet can work for you around the clock, every hour, every day, every year.
• Targeted: Internet advertising offers you, the advertiser, a much more targeted approach than the sometimes gunshot approach offered by print advertising.
• Speed: from the time you decide to advertise till your ad is published on the Internet can literally be hours or even minutes, especially if you have a creative nick!
• Information: you can access a wealth of information about your visitors such as where did they come from, how long did they stayed on your website, what keywords were they using to find your site, some demographics ie country, browser and operating system. These figures are aggregated and does not reveal the identity of individuals, so their privacy isn't at risk.
