Advertising on Google
If you have decided that you want to advertise online, congratulations on choosing one of the best ways to get your message out to the right people so that you can grow your business. Television, radio, and newspaper ads still work, but if you ignore what is going on through the Internet, you are ignoring a huge opportunity to reach more of your target audience.
One great way to get your company name out there is to place an ad on Google. Google has an extensive advertising program that can put your name out there right in front of those most likely to buy your product or service.
The key to advertising with Google is to understand how their program works. This service revolves around what people are searching for. This means a much-targeted audience for your ads, and you don’t have to pay when the ads hit the wrong people. Adsense is the program that many use to put ads on their web pages.
These ads could be yours. You won’t have to pay for your ad, in most cases, unless someone clicks on it to go to your web site, or if they buy something from you. That means you only pay for an ad on Google that works.
Your ad on Google may appear as a small text ad on the side of a blog or a web site. This may not seem like much, but it is more powerful than you may think. Your ad will only be on sites and articles that are related to what you are selling.
Google accomplishes this by indexing the contents on all sites that are in the Adsense program. They know what sites are talking about what subjects, and they can place your ad exactly where it needs to be so that you reach the biggest pool of potential customers with little to no work on your part.
To understand how it works, you just have to think about finding content related to your business online. Google does that for you. If you have a bridal shop, for example, the customers you want to reach are ones that are getting married. Your ad on Google will be placed near articles that brides and grooms to be are going to be searching out the most.
Expect that your ad on Google will be near articles about wedding dresses, wedding dress accessories, and other wedding related content. This is about as targeted a marketing campaign as you can get.
What your ad on Google will cost will depend on you. You have a budget so see what Google can offer you for that money. If you only want to pay when someone clicks on an ad (remember, even if they do not buy right then, they could bookmark you and come back later), you can have it that you only pay when someone places an order through that link within a certain amount of time.
The program is flexible, so go sign up and see what fits your budget and your needs.
