Guest post by: Kelly and Andrew

Article Overview: Banner advertising is a form of online advertising which entails placing an ad on to a web page.

Understanding Banner Advertising

Banner advertisements are usually found along the top of the website or along the right or left side; you can also find them in within the content of the website. The positioning of the banner in the website is one factor which will determine the cost of the ad. Another main factor which will influence cost is the websites traffic.

There are certain terminology used with banner advertising, these are helpful to know when placing your ad;

Impression: An impression is the word to describe each time your banner loads on to a website.

Click: Each time your banner is clicked on.

Conversions: Each time somebody fills out your websites form thus becoming a lead.

CPM - Cost Per Thousand: A lot of the time you will be charged for your banner advertisement 'on a CPM basis' which means you will be charged per thousand impressions. A $3 CPM means you will be charged $3 for every thousand clicks your website receives from the publisher's website.

CPA - Cost Per Action: This is another method used to total the amount you will pay for your banner ad. An action can be a click or a conversion. If you are paying on a 'CPA basis' you are only paying when somebody actually clicks on your ad.

CTR - Click Through Rate: This is the ration of impressions to clicks e.g.; if there are 1000 impressions and 10 people click on your ad this is a CTR of 1%

Cost Per Conversion: The price per lead. If you have spent $50 and get 15 leads then your cost per conversion is $3.33. If your cost per action is specified as a click and you spent $45 to get 200 clicks then your cost per action is $0.225.

Publisher: The websites that accept banner advertising.

Advertiser: You, the person placing the banner ad.

This information will assist you greatly when you are placing a banner advertisement. Remember to start small. Don't pay too high and for the initial stages don't sign any lengthy contract until you have tested the conversion with the website you choose to place your banner ad on.

Wishing you Success
