There are many forms of advertising.  Banner advertising if used correctly can be a great advertising tool.  In order to do well with banner advertising you should have a very flashy and image rich banner design.

Different places can create the banner ads for free with a reference to their website but if you want a high quality ad I suggest you pay a small fee to have a web designer create your banner ad for you.

Banner ads are usually priced by Cost per mille (CPM) which is basically the price per thousand impressions.  Start out with a small budget to see how the banner advertising is going before dedicating too much of your funds.

Find out where your competitors are advertising by going to Google and typing in the competitors site like this veteranwebdesign.com and it will list all the places that site is listed.  You can use this to begin your advertising campaign.

You want your banner to catch the potential customers attention so try to get the best possible spot on a site to do that.

Here we will discuss another effective marketing tool called CPA.

We will be discussing effective CPM marketing.

Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is a manner in which people go about targeting keywords people look for on the search engines.  These keywords are words website owners believe people are searching for that might get potential customers to their website.

The more popular the keyword the more it costs.  If you have the budget then paying the price for the keyword of your choice may pay off.  If you have a limited budget then looking for a niche within your market is what you need to try and do by doing an extensive keyword research using great tools like Google Adwords Keyword tool or even the great tool at http://wordtracker.com. The cost of doing a PPC campaign can start at $.01 or go higher than $2.00 per click. 

Pay Per Click advertising is being used everywhere from the search engines to popular websites that receive a lot of traffic. Some popular places to utilize PPC is Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.
