1.1 Why Use Online Advertising?

There is an old adage that states, “It pays to advertise”. In those long ago days, BC (Before Computers), businesses could open out in the real brick and mortar world in small towns and never pay for one word of advertising.

But those days never existed on the internet and they never will. If you are to have any kind of business on the internet, advertising is just a given. You might have the world’s greatest product but if you don’t advertise on the internet, nobody will be able to find you at all. It really is just that simple. Internet advertising really serves two purposes. First is tells the world that you HAVE a product and what it is and then it tells the world how to FIND you, your website and your product.

The chances of a single person who would be interested in buying whatever it is that you are selling just accidentally stumbling across your website are probably about a bazillion to none. Yes, you have got to advertise if you have a business on the internet.

There are, of course, many, many methods by which one can advertise. There is paid-for advertising and there is also methods of free advertising that actually work. Most business people on the internet find that a combination of both paidfor and free advertising is the best answer.
