Advertising The Good The Bad And The Ugly

By: Michael Garrett

In this article we are going to go through some of the different advertising methods that people use with their online or offline business. We will also cover which of these advertising methods work and which ones do not. Basically, which ones are worth your time and money and which ones are simply a waste.

Whenever I hear "advertising" the first thing I think of are TV and radio commercials. This form of advertising has been around since the beginning of radio and TV. And is often thought of as the best type of advertising money can buy. This form of advertising can also be used with any type of business, whether it is a website for a sandwich shop. The drawback is that this form of advertising is the most expensive of all.

Another form of advertising is newspaper advertising. All many people overlook this form of advertising it can truly produce some amazing results. Is also much less expensive than TV or radio ads. You also have versatility on where to place your ads. For example if you have a larger budget you could place a five by seven ad somewhere throughout the newspaper. If you have a smaller budget you could simply place an ad in the classified section which is much less expensive.

If you have an online business you obviously have a website, however more and more offline businesses are also building websites in order to keep up in today's world. One of the best forms of advertising for any website is search engine marketing. This is the tedious process of optimizing your web page and building links from other web pages that point to your site. The goal of course is to have your website appear in the search engine results when you're targeted key words are keyed in. Some people however, choose to use paid per click marketing. Which is where your ad will be shown and you'll need to pay a small fee each time your ad is clicked.

Well you may have heard people say any form of advertising is good advertising that is just not the case when it comes to traffic exchanges. A traffic exchange is when you look at someone else's web site and in turn someone else looks at your website. The problem with this form of advertising is that no one actually wants to see the other person's website they're just trying to get traffic to their own website which makes this a complete waste of time.

Now, there is a new type of advertising which have begun to grown in the last few years due to the advent of the cell phone. This advertising is known as SMS mobile marketing. This is advertising am sure you have seen the may not be familiar with. If you have ever seen or heard an ad telling you to (text "sale" to 637890) that is mobile marketing. When you complete the text message you received a message back, which may tell you were to find sale. Of course this type of advertising can be used for any type of online or offline business.
