There Should Be Truth in Internet Advertising

When you decide that you are going to use internet advertising as a tool to make your business more successful, you should be aware that there are rules in place by the FTC or the Federal Trade Commission that protects the consumer from false advertising. Whatever claims you make in your internet advertising must be substantiated. You have a responsibility not to mislead potential customers.

What Kind of Internet Advertising Works Best?

There are many types of internet advertising and what works best for one may not be the way to go for another. There is MLM or multi-level marketing that is a way to sell your products or services using distribution methods that promise those who sign up will receive commissions through sales of their own and those of their recruits.

Pay Per Click Internet Advertising Programs

This mode of advertising has become quite popular with those with businesses that are based on the internet. The way it works is that your ads are placed on web pages and you only pay when a potential customer clicks onto your ad. There are various programs that are available for an internet advertising program and the price will vary depending upon the type of program you choose.
 
Using Email for Marketing Purposes

An effective marketing concept can be a mass email distribution. Using this method to advertise products has become less valuable with the advent of tools to prevent spamming. Finding a list for email addresses can be difficult too and not target the audience you were looking to reach.

Creating a Blog

A growing number of merchants are using a blog as a way of internet advertising. This allows you to deliver up to the minute information to your potential customers. A blog also lets you use the atom feeds or the rss feeds to format the data that is distributed for syndication to the directories.

Pay Per Inclusion and Pay Per Performance Internet Advertising

They offer the consumer a directory of specific products in order for the consumer to use for comparison shopping. You are only charged when a customer clicks to your website when they browse the directory listing.
