5 Main Types Of Advertising Techniques Online
August 30, 2008 | By
Kenneth Koh |

Many people are confused by the different types of advertising techniques
online. In today’s blog post, my aim is to classify all the techniques into 5
main types. I will also discuss the key to success in each of them.

Ready? Here we go……

1) Content Advertising

The first type of advertising technique is content advertising. It basically
uses content to draw visitors’ attention. It is the main type of advertising
technique because the entire internet is made up of content (or
information).

The following traffic strategies all fall under content advertising
technique:

- Submitting articles to article directories

- Posting articles to Squidoo, Hubpages or Blogger

- Posting articles to your own blog or content website

- Press release

- Paid reviews at other people’s website

- Yahoo answers

- Social bookmarking at Digg, Propeller etc

- Post videos in video sites

- Posting comments in forums

In content advertising, you draw traffic from 2 sources. You either get the
traffic from the website where the content is posted or from the search
engine.

Existing traffic from the website is given. There is nothing much you need to
do other than making sure that your content is good and your title is
interesting.

The real challenge lies in getting traffic from the search engine. Your aim
is to get high ranking in the search engine and direct the traffic from the
search engine to your content and then to your website. This is done through
careful keyword research and search engine optimization.

2) Link Advertising

This type of advertising technique typically uses a short link with some
description to attract the visitors directly to your website. Finish reading, Visit here.

Bringing Your New Home Based Business Back to Life

You drag yourself into the kitchen after a hard day at the office. Staring
glumly at the empty fridge, you try to block out the sounds of the kids
squabbling, the dog barking to go outside, and the blare of the TV in the
background.

You are just so tired.

Day after day, week after week, you promise yourself that you’re going to
work on your home business.

What business, you think bitterly, The one that still hasn’t produced a
single thin dime?

That’s the one. It is incredibly easy to get discouraged when your business
isn’t making money, and even more so when your life is filled with other
priorities. You’re just plain worn out and you don’t savor the prospect of
spending your precious free time struggling with a business that has yet to turn
a profit.

But the simple fact of the matter is: If you don’t work your business, who
will?

To get anywhere in life you have to work hard. It may involve some short-term
sacrifices, that’s where you’ll have to sit down with your family and figure out
whether those sacrifices will justify the end result. Here are a few tips to
help you get back up and work on your business:

Avoiding Home Based Business Scams

Planning on starting your own home based business? Want to
work from home, making money online? Always do your research on
Google. As you may already be aware, not all home based
business opportunities are for real. There are may work at home
scams out there, being advertised everyday and you need to be careful.
Here are some tell tale signs that what you are looking at is a scam:

If a business promises that you will make millions in just a few short
months, then beware. Especially if they also say you don’t have to do anything,
don’t even give it a second look. Every real business opportunity requires hard
work, time and effort on your part to become successful. There’s no way you can
make money just by signing up for a program and then sitting back and relaxing.

If a business opportunity requires you to send in a payment
of any kind just to learn more about the business, that’s another sign of a
scam. A legitimate business never requires money in return for information.
