In the article we will try to explain what contextual advertising is in simple words, reveal 5 secrets how to use this tool in practice. Contextual advertising is a powerful marketing tool for high sales. Context is a connection or content (translated from Latin). The article provides a complete overview of this topic. The material is presented in blocks for convenience.
Just about complexThis is a powerful promotional tool for a business presented on the Internet. It consists of launching an advertising campaign, selecting keywords and compiling ads, and is shown only to interested users, on search or partner sites. With the right settings, it has a greater return, increases profits. It differs from traditional advertising in that it is broadcast only on the Internet. To start, you need a website or at least a page in the networks. Displayed in response to the user's input query. For example, if you ask “buy an iPhone” in the Yandex search engine, then this type of advertising will be in the first places, in Google it will be the same.
This area received its first and powerful development in 2009. In connection with the crisis of that year, many enterprises went online and began to advertise themselves using this tool.
To date, two sites with a turnover of tens of billions have been identified - the Yandex Direct advertising network (hereinafter referred to as Direct) and Google AdWords. Also on the market is the Runner, which works on the principle of teaser advertising showing pop-up windows.
Contextual advertising in search engines is divided into two main types. Search advertising and thematic, broadcasting advertisements on partner sites (sites). There are also a number of additional concepts (directions) that have received certain terms and definitions.
In simple terms, Topic Ads - broadcasts the impressions of the advertiser's ads on sites that have become partners with the advertising network. In Direct, this network is called YAN, and in google adwords it is called CMS. Any webmaster, site owner, can become a partner in these systems. It's easy to Google, just send an application with any attendance and after moderation, if the site meets all the requirements, it will be accepted. Yandex and its direct system are more complicated, it requires visits from 300 people per day and an agreement is concluded with the Yandex advertising network.
Ads on such sites (platforms) are shown either strictly thematically, or previously entered commercial requests from the computer of a user who came to such a site are relevant. That is, if you recently searched for a sofa, and then go to the resource for buying apartments, then ads for the sale of sofas will be broadcast.
In the example, one of the resources on architecture, as you can see, part of the ads is not relevant to the topic. Such advertising can be seen on almost all partner sites.
Contextual advertising allows you to broadcast ads to a narrow circle of the target audience. This type of advertising has received the term - targeting, targeted advertising. Its principle and example was given above, using sofas as an example. That is, in the settings of the advertising campaign, you can directly specify certain products (Keys) that were of interest to the user and broadcast your ads to them through the sites of partners of Direct and AdWords. Allows you to target ads to specific gender, age, region, etc.
This type of advertising is widely used in all social networks. Easily customized to the interests of a specific audience. A number of special parser programs help to collect entire segments of your target audience and sell your products and services to them.
What is contextual advertising in Yandex Audiences? Type of advertising targeting based on the collected database of telephones and postal addresses. In the Yandex Audience service, you need to upload the existing database and, after moderation, it is possible to broadcast ads to your hot customer audience.
Note the teaser ad. This type of advertising is broadcast on the basis of pop-up windows. There are several popular teaser networks that have a large pool of partner sites where such ads are shown. Begun specializes in such advertising.
Recently, video advertising has become very popular. These are ads that are broadcast in the video clip display window. Due to the growth of the audience of the YouTube service, this advertising niche is becoming very profitable and popular.
That's basically what contextual advertising is. We briefly reviewed the main types, directions and concepts of this marketing tool. Now, having the initial general concepts, you can correctly formulate a question on a particular direction of advertising and get a detailed answer in the search engine. On our resource, there is also a lot of useful information, and new releases and cases are constantly published.
Consider when it should and will be profitable to launch this - advertising in advertising systems.
— Classic sales promotion;
It is necessary to increase sales volumes in the online store, the number of applications and orders for services, and similar actions on the Internet resource. Contextual advertising in Yandex direct and google adwords will help, they made an ad and in an hour you are in the top of the search results and there are already results.
The same thing, the ability to launch as quickly as possible, no need to wait for the indexing of pages or the release of traditional advertising.
— New product or service;
For example, glasses for observing a solar eclipse. A one-time product, advertised in Google and Yandex, it worked, ensured sales growth. Such a short-term campaign needs to be broadcast on search. Your ad should be at the top of the search results. The user entered a query into the search engine, and your ad appeared in the search results, preferably in the top positions.
— Growth of attendance of the resource;
If the site is young, then traffic is important to it at the initial stage, traffic from search engines will not immediately go. Advertising itself does not affect the promotion, but the visitors who come are targeted and they are interested in the resource, so they will study the information provided, go to a few more pages. Site indicators - behavioral data will go up, and this is already good for promoting the resource.
The benefits are already presented quite well, we will only add that payment is made only for clicks on ads, that is, for clicking on links in an ad to the site, and not for impressions. The ability to fine-tune to a narrow segment of the target audience.
Disadvantages: There are also those, contextual advertising on the Internet is one of the most difficult promotion tools, its configuration is very difficult, if it is not configured correctly, then the advertising campaign budget will be spent, but there will be no return. Since 2009, in some niches, the cost per click has risen to $20 or more per click.
Before launching on your own or hiring a third-party performer, you need to understand the issue and understand what contextual advertising is. To study at least superficially the principle of setting up advertising campaigns in certain services where you are going to invest through specialists. This is necessary in order to correctly draw up the terms of reference for the performance of these services for setting up advertising.
The tool is very flexible in settings and it is impossible to tell within one article. Let's say the main thing. All settings begin with the selection of key queries. Be sure to separately make a block minus words and phrases. Selecting a good core of keys is the key to success. It is necessary to use special contextual advertising services to select key phrases, do not confuse with the selection of keywords for the site.
In Ya.Direct, you can use a special link and involve a personal settings specialist, directly from their service. But they work with big budgets, and they make settings for very expensive keys.
When working with advertising in both resources, it is imperative to separate campaigns into search and thematic ones. There are completely different ad formats and settings. The principle in both sites (Direct and AdWords) is the same, but the settings are different. It is necessary to use UTM tags and constantly monitor the statistics. Any campaigns before launch must be checked with tests on small budgets. Define clickable ads and already, then run ads in full.
Contextual advertising is subject to A/B testing. Always run tests. You need to check everything, headings, texts. Do not confuse with landing page tests, they are different tests. A split test is performed by creating 3-5 advertisements with different text and different headings and see which ad worked best, which has more CTR. Broadcast your ads to a selling landing page. and how to test them, we described in detail in simple words. The landing page also needs to be tested later (conduct an A / B test). Well-tested and well-tuned, these two marketing tools provide high profits and significantly reduce the advertising budget.
- The title in the ad must match the title on the page;
— The landing page must be relevant to the offer;
- The resource where the offer leads should open quickly and have a mobile layout. Check your pages in the google pagespeed service, it should be more than 95%;
Following these rules, the result will be a reduction in the budget, and an increase in sales.
To be able to use these tools means to be in the subject of Internet marketing.
If you have a small organization and are just starting a business, then after studying the material on the topic for a week, you can set up a company for yourself. Even by subscribing to our blog and having studied the material, it will be quite enough to start, of course, you won’t become directologists, but there won’t be a big drain on the budget either.
There are various myths about contextual advertising about what is expensive, others consider it cheap. Don't believe! Costs money! Billions are in circulation in this area today. Yes, and high-frequency niches (keys) are quite expensive. The tool is one of the most effective, if it were not, then such money would not rotate there. To reduce costs, you need to be able to correctly set up campaigns and monitor statistics. Efficiency is achieved by the same actions.
When broadcasting and setting up campaigns, always consider the region. If you need to show ads throughout Russia, then be sure to exclude cities with a population of over a million! In Moscow, all advertising is more expensive, and when broadcasting in Russia, all rates in all cities will go to Moscow! Same thing with Peter. By excluding these two cities, you will really save your budget. For these two cities, you need to make a separate campaign and broadcast to them separately.
It is worth noting the fact that if the site is developed on any constructor, such as Wicks, then the agency or a remote specialist directologist will set up additional work to prepare the landing page. This is due to the fact that websites and landing pages on constructors are almost impossible to sharpen for a normal advertising campaign. There is no possibility of editing service codes to achieve fast page loading, sharpening for a mobile version, etc. A directologist who respects himself and values his reputation will either issue an invoice for additional work or refuse the order.
A good result is 50% profit from the invested budget. Invested 50,000 rubles, returned 75,000 net profit.
Excellent result all 100%. Invested a hundred thousand, received two hundred.
To achieve such results, first of all, it is necessary to take into account the margin, the net profit from a product or service. If it is small, and the cost of a click is expensive, then no competent settings will help. Well, then the matter of technology:
And you will be happy and great sales!

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. If you are a business owner and you have a website (an online store, a service website, etc.), then you will most likely have to attract visitors to it, either with the help of SEO or contextual advertising. And most often, using both of these channels.
We will talk about SEO a lot and in detail within the framework of this section (in relation to a commercial site), but we will consider general issues of working with context right now.
Well, in future articles, perhaps, we will touch on the details of creating and setting up campaigns in Yandex Direct and Google Adwords.
Let's start with the possible placements for your ads when using this contextual advertising system:
There are several ad formats available on Google Adwords:
First of all, Direct is chosen for its huge reach of the target audience (this will be true for most commercial sites). If you need to get real large influx of targeted visitors, then often there is simply no alternative to this contextual advertising system (in Adwords, there may simply not be such a number of users interested in buying something).
The ability to fine-tune a campaign in Direct is somewhat poorer than that of a competitor from Google, and the cost of attracting a client is somewhat higher, but this has to be put up with. Let's see where your ads placed through Yandex contextual advertising can appear:
To be honest, I didn’t even keep track of where their ads are shown lately (probably still in Rambler mixed with Direct and in the affiliate network). A contextual advertising market share of 1.5 percent does not motivate such research. You can try it yourself and draw your own conclusions.
Every entrepreneur who claims to be successful in doing business is obliged to know the features of modern business promotion. As they say, the engine of progress is advertising, the various forms of which today can turn any boring product into an object of desire for millions. One of these is contextual advertising, which has become widespread with the advent of the Internet. Let's talk about it in more detail.
Contextual advertising is a special type of promotion of products or services on the World Wide Web. It is an advertising message, as if reacting to the interests of the user of the network, expressed in the search queries made by him. The theme of such advertising messages coincides with the internal mood and requests of the buyer, which is its strength - it does not impose a product, but rather helps to find the desired product.
This type of promotion is the most effective tool to help organize a powerful flow of new customers. Each of us has repeatedly observed how the search engine offers to view contextual advertising after you enter a specific request. Marketers working with a limited budget are increasingly choosing contextual advertising messages that show good results with active use.
Let's look at the difference between traditional types of advertising and contextual advertising. So, in the first case, advertising messages are placed on:
In addition to advertising, it also hosts entertaining or informative content, which users of all three types of media study in their daily lives when accessing broadcast media, that is, when reading a newspaper, watching TV or listening to the radio in the car, for example. The task of advertising placed in traditional media is to directly distract from this content, interrupting the user's activity. This causes terrible annoyance to users, creates an aura of obsession and raises all the worst feelings, sometimes not benefiting the cause, but, on the contrary, throwing back the enterprise.
Advertising, which is outstanding according to the direction, context extracted from search queries, does not work as a user attention switch, but, on the contrary, as an appropriate semantic message, a new idea, necessary or additional information, the request of which was formed by the user independently.
Compliance with the user request of the issued message is one hundred percent. In order for you to see everything that the companies wanted to show, agreements are concluded with advertising networks of search engines responsible for placing advertising messages. We are talking about the popular Yandex in Russia, the Internet giant Google, etc.
The cost of placing contextual advertising on the search results page varies depending on the prestige of the specific area of the page where the message is placed. Prestige is determined by the effectiveness of promotion, in other words, visibility. The less visible the place, the lower the cost, as well as the effectiveness of the impact.
Typically, contextual ads are placed in the following parts of the search results page that opens.
It is most reasonable to choose dynamic display for companies that want to increase the traffic of their electronic resource. We are talking about news portals and similar organizations that need to constantly generate traffic in order to work.
A distinctive feature of this subspecies is the divided cost of transitions. She shares literally. If search advertising was paid to advertising systems and the dividends were theirs in full, then in the case of thematic advertising, the amount of payment for the transition “falling” into the account is divided in half: one part to the advertising system, the second site broadcasting an advertising message - to the website.
According to the rules, advertising messages should correspond to the subject of the resource on which they are placed, but in practice there may be only closeness to the context or even lack of similarities. This phenomenon is officially called “behavioral targeting”. The setting for demonstrating messages that are not similar in subject matter can be set up by the customer, having discussed this moment with the executing system in advance.
Thus, visiting a site with recipes for proper nutrition, you may suddenly stumble upon an advertisement for the sale of roller skates.
By disabling the ability to set behavioral targeting, you exclude the display of advertising messages that differ from the direction of the site, and the impressions will continue only for those who are similar. Going back to the healthy food recipes example, let's assume that the promotional message based on it is selling immersion blenders, slow cookers, spice sets, etc., similar in subject matter.
The market of contextual advertising since the advent of this promotion technology continues to expand and develop, gaining well-deserved popularity. The dynamics of development is very noticeable. On average, the contextual advertising market is gaining 50% growth per year compared to last year's figures, converting to a monetary equivalent, this figure can be estimated at tens of billions of units of Russian currency.
Previously, large companies used the services of traditional promotion channels, giving preference to television. As you know, the cost of serious promotion on TV is sky-high, despite the fact that the effect of it does not always pay off as expected. Now this method of promotion is considered obsolete, moreover, not as effective as before. Today, the solvent and active part of the population is increasingly refusing television, throwing "zomboyaschiki" in the trash. Their haven is the Internet, which promptly provides all the necessary information that a modern person is used to absorbing in huge quantities.
Clients willingly perceive the advertising flow on the network, turning intentions into targeted actions that are so desirable for advertising customers. Contextual advertising is the most preferred way for customers to present their product. According to statistics, by 2015 it accounted for about 40% of the entire online advertising market, while banner ads accounted for only 10%. Compared to it, the remaining areas are losing ground and becoming less popular. This is especially true for teaser advertising, due to its use to promote sites with false or vulgar information.
It must be said that the Rambler system is practically not used today, preference is given to the Google network (for the entire Internet space) and Yandex (mainly Runet). Their effectiveness and notoriety had the effect of ousting rivals who had no chance of success.
The service from the Internet giant of the planet is called Google AdWords. The platform is high-tech and provides a huge number of functions for use. The settings are so subtle, and the budget is so small to achieve efficiency that the platform has gained a certain level of popularity in just one blink.
Demonstration of contextual advertisements using Google AdWords is performed both on the search results page and on partner sites of the advertising network. Let's take a look at the list of benefits offered by Google AdWords to users.
Now let's talk about the Yandex advertising service, called Yandex.Direct. According to statistics, the impact of this search engine is comparable to the same number of people as the largest channels in the country. Here are the benefits of using Direct.
Impressions in the advertising platform based on the Yandex search engine are selected according to the auction method: who will give more. If the cost per click is higher, the spot is more conveniently given to a generous advertiser. When the amount is the same for several firms, the evaluation and selection of the leader is determined according to the "clickability" of the link. This is beneficial not only for the customer of the campaign, but also for the service that receives payments for clicks.
Direct ads are displayed on the following platforms:
The minimum cost of the transition at Yandex is thirty kopecks, the order is made from making an amount of one thousand units of Russian currency. Divide the second amount by the first and get a pretty good result.
Some features and advantages of such a phenomenon as contextual advertising have today made it possible to conduct business remotely, while the owner can be located in absolutely any populated or non-populated area of the planet, the main thing is that a device with Internet access is always at hand. The geographical remoteness of the market from the enterprise is no longer a myth, but a reality that allows you to develop without having a solid capital to launch and promote the company's activities.
Let's discuss the obvious benefits of this tool for promoting and attracting traffic. Interestingly, many of them apply not only to business owners, but also to ordinary people surfing the Internet in order to find the right information or the right products and services.
As you can see, contextual advertising cannot be underestimated. Reading about it, it seems as if you have before you a real panacea from the world of advertising, working for instant and most effective promotion of goods. However, despite all the advantages and the real uniqueness of contextual advertising, it also has some disadvantages. To get a complete picture of this promotion tool, they also need to be studied.
We want to immediately calm the wary entrepreneurs. The disadvantages of this type of promotion are so insignificant compared to the advantages that they will not seriously affect the impression of this most effective tool. However, in order to conduct successful activities, it is necessary to keep them in mind in order to regulate the consequences that arise in time and eliminate advertising “holes”.
As you can see, the promotion tool under discussion has an overwhelming number of advantages and some disadvantages. Let's discuss how to deal with the negative sides and use the positive ones as effectively as possible.
Having not solid experience with advertising a product or service through the context of user-demanded content, it is quite natural to feel some uncertainty. However, this does not mean that you should definitely turn to the services of professionals in this promotion industry and pay not only to advertising systems, but also to them. Think for yourself, such a budget overrun is absolutely not cost-effective. By working with automated services for conducting advertising campaigns using context, you will benefit much more.
The services themselves help avoid common user errors by providing pop-up guides on how to maximize benefit and efficiency through settings. They actually take over the full functionality of professional agencies, doing it for free.
When a businessman decides to resort to the help of contextual promotion of a product or service, the first question of interest to him concerns the method of forming the cost of a click. We have already said that the two most popular platforms for conducting advertising campaigns on the Internet, Google AdWords and Yandex.Direct, require independent determination of the cost directly by the advertiser, taking into account the minimum set by the system. So, for a service from your favorite Russian search engine, this minus is 1000 units of currency.
A click is a transition to a customer's advertisement, clicking on a link leading to a website that demonstrates the product being promoted. It is for this transition that the advertiser pays, more precisely, the cost of clicking each time is subtracted from the total amount on the entrepreneur's account on the server.
The price of this transition is formed on the basis of the following components.
With this method, you can cut the cost per click even in the most expensive market niche, while maintaining the level of quality of the demonstration and getting visible results.
By the way, you can find out the cost per click for different areas of entrepreneurial activity using various online services. For example, the Mutagen web page knows the Yandex.Direct prices very well.
In addition, the search engine itself will be happy to provide information on the estimated cost of promotion using the budget forecasting service, which allows you to get an estimate and calculate the cost of a month of the service.
Do you want to get clients quickly and cheaply, being sure of the final result? Contextual advertising is an ideal way to achieve what you want. Of course, its cheapness is relative for some areas of business, however, all costs will certainly pay off in the process of using the tool.
When starting to work with promotion services, remember that contextual advertising does not work equally effectively for all existing market niches. If you doubt your actions, we advise you to hire a professional directologist who is responsible for the correct setting of contextual advertising and its subsequent adjustment.
If your company is promoted exclusively on the World Wide Web, contextual advertising can be used solo or in combination with other popular means. Read the article carefully to learn all the features of this tool and decide on its use. We wish you good luck in development and success in the business field!
So, today I have an introductory article on contextual advertising for you. I will tell you what this type of advertising is in general, what types of contextual advertising are, platforms where you can advertise, and I will also write about the benefits of contextual advertising. This is currently one of the most effective sources, so you need to pay due attention to it.
It turns out that contextual advertising acts selectively and is shown only for specific requests, therefore, if the ads are set up correctly, the ad will have a high quality score, which means there will be customers and sales. Therefore, you need to understand that contextual advertising is a tool aimed at increasing sales and attracting new customers via the Internet.
The main feature of contextual advertising is information and the uniqueness of the sales offer. If these two factors are properly built and skillfully presented to potential customers, then there will always be a large number of sales. Therefore, there are so many people on the Internet who make little money, and few who make big money. And based on this, I set my main task so that the readers of this blog begin to skillfully use their online advertising, thereby increasing their profits.
1) Banner advertising is a fixed or animated picture. This type of advertising is quite common, because it is noticeable and has a high conversion, which favorably affects the result of placing a banner on the site;
2)Video advertising is a type of advertising that uses video. To date, a very common method of promoting goods and services and every day is gaining even more popularity. Most often, this type of advertising can be found when watching regular video clips, when a 15-20 second video with an ad pops up at the beginning of the video. There are also various kinds of viral videos, when some large company, using its product or service, creates a short video, and in a few weeks it becomes a hit on the Internet.
3) Text advertising is the most common type of advertising that is found absolutely everywhere. This type of advertising is a regular text ad, sometimes with a picture, and the obligatory presence of a link to the advertised resource. Text advertising is of two types: search and thematic. Search ads appear in search results on the site when there is a specific search query set by the user. A search query can be carried out both on search sites and on ordinary sites that have a search string, so the search can be carried out both throughout the Internet and on a specific site. An example of a search ad is shown below.
Thematic ads are shown on the page of a particular site if the subject of the ad meets the user's needs. Such advertising is shown not in the search results of search sites, but on the most ordinary sites and is an addition to the content of the site pages. Thematic advertising is also called behavioral, because it corresponds to the interests and needs of users.
In order to place a search or thematic site, there are quite a few services, but all of them are mainly aimed at working through two Internet search giants - Yandex and Google. These two search engines have special services for contextual advertising, namely Direct and Adwords, respectively (I will describe them in detail in subsequent articles). Everything that appears in the SERPs on these two sites is search advertising, and everything that is placed on partner sites is classified ads. All advertising is configured through the interface and after moderation and account replenishment, your ads start showing.
I will not write why you need to use these two sites to advertise your products or services. Firstly, Nikolai already wrote about this, and secondly, you should be well aware that these are the two most leading search engines in Runet, which means that the entire population of our country uses these sites when searching for something they need. Therefore, it is when working through these two sites that all the main traffic is concentrated.
Contextual advertising is quite simple. There is always something that needs to be advertised (product, service, website or something else). There will always be those who need what is advertised. And there is always an intermediary - in this case, these are online advertising platforms. The person who advertises, either himself or through specially trained people, places advertisements on these sites. The final result in the form of applications or calls will depend on how well the advertising is set up. Therefore, I constantly tell everyone that if there is no knowledge in this area, then it is better to entrust your advertising to professionals, thereby saving not only time, but also money.
After the ad has passed the test, it is launched. And as soon as the user's query in the search line matches the key phrase of your ad, the potential client will see your ad (although it often happens that ads are not shown in the right positions, but I will talk about this in other articles). And if your ad is of interest to a potential client, then he will definitely go to your site. Further, everything depends on the quality of the site, the trade offer and, of course, the price. Much depends on the price of a product or service. Therefore, when the ads are well-configured, the site is well-designed and the USP (unique selling proposition) is well-designed, then I am more than sure that your business will always go uphill.
1) Attracting only the target audience - as a rule, ads are shown only to potential customers who are already interested in your product or service. At their request, your ads are shown, thereby visitors go to your site, who will definitely buy your product or use your service. At the same time, only you decide for which queries your ads will be shown, and for which not. And I'm not talking now about complex advertising setup schemes that are focused not only on the absolutely target audience, but also on those who are not particularly looking for what you offer. This is a separate category of clients, the so-called "warm" and "cold". For them, setting up advertising is completely different (I will definitely write about this in subsequent articles).
2) Geo-targeting - when launching ads, you can choose the countries, regions and localities where your ad will be shown. And it does not matter here that you are in a completely different region or even country. Thanks to this, boundaries are erased and you can easily scale your business.
3) Pay only for users - no matter how many times your ads are shown. You only pay for specific ad clicks to your site. This is very beneficial for your business, as the efficiency of this only increases. I also want to note that on advertising sites there is a system of protection against invalid (unfair and erroneous) clicks, the so-called ad clicks, thus your budget is safe. And if the system notices that there was a click, then the money will be returned to your account.
4) Full control of advertising - the entire advertising process is under your personal control. All detailed daily statistics are available to you. You are always aware of how much was spent for each transition to the site, how much each application cost you, how many users came to the site, what is the conversion rate of advertising and the site. And if something suddenly does not suit you, then you can stop ads and make adjustments to improve efficiency and re-launch ads, thereby saving your advertising budget. It turns out that advertising is completely dependent on you and the tasks that you set by launching this advertisement.
5) A small budget to start - launching advertising does not require many thousands of infusions of funds. Sometimes 500 rubles a day is enough to receive daily applications that flow into customers. Of course, the budget depends on the goals and objectives that you want to achieve from advertising. But the big plus of contextual advertising is its availability. This is especially important for start-up entrepreneurs. The only thing I want to note is that it is very common that people, having no experience in contextual advertising and limited by a budget, begin to create an advertising campaign themselves and after 2-3 weeks they have neither money nor customers. Unfortunately, this is quite common. Therefore, approach the setting of advertising very responsibly.
6) Quick result - you can create and launch an advertising campaign within 24 hours, provided that the advertising is not large in volume. All you need is to competently and efficiently create ads and replenish your personal account, and on the very first day after the start of the impressions, receive the first visitors to the site and applications. Therefore, this type of advertising has an instant exhaust. If the advertising campaign is large in volume (usually these are online stores), then the creation and launch can take up to 3-4 days. In this case, you will receive the first visitors after 4-5 days.
Contextual advertising has huge advantages over other advertising tools. Currently, without contextual advertising, you are losing a large flow of potential customers, which ultimately affects your profits. It doesn't matter if your business is online or offline. Contextual advertising is ideal for any type and sector of business. Advertising is the engine of commerce. And how you use it will determine the performance of your business. But the final decision is always yours.
I wish you all a large flow of customers and huge profits. To be continued.
Hello dear friends. Today we will talk about contextual advertising in the form of a review.
From the article you will learn what is contextual advertising, its types, advantages and disadvantages, what is its cost and effectiveness - let's look at real examples.
The material below will help you understand the features of contextual advertising and visually see how it is placed on the Internet.
If you are an active Internet user, then most likely you have seen such ads in search results and on different sites. Increasingly, marketers and entrepreneurs are using it to promote products and services.
Appears after a person clicks the “search” button by entering their query in the search bar.
For example, "plastic windows in Moscow":
These ads can be either similar in subject matter (close to the context of the page) or different from it.
If it is disabled, then only ads corresponding to its content will be shown on the site.
(The figure shows the correspondence between the content of the site and the advertisement)
If behavioral targeting is enabled, then the site visitor will see those ads, the topics of which he requested earlier in the search engine.
For example, a site about culinary recipes will broadcast ads for cameras if a person recently searched the network where to buy a camera.
Over the past 5 years, this market has been growing at a gigantic pace and ranges from 10% to 60% per year. In monetary terms, the account goes to tens of billions of rubles.
Companies that used to spend their advertising budgets on TV are moving to the Internet. Banners, SEO articles, teaser ads have become popular tools for attracting customers online.
But here, too, the alignment of forces has changed towards the use of contextual advertising, and this is due to its obvious advantages, which I will discuss later.
The figure below shows the ratio of two popular types of advertising in 2014-2015:
Google and Yandex are now noticeably ahead of Begun due to their popularity and efficiency.
Possessing a number of features and advantages, contextual advertising today allows thousands of people to run their business from anywhere in the world, working in those markets that are geographically distant from the entrepreneur himself.
For example, you can be located in Novosibirsk and at the same time sell cement in Moscow, while earning money based on Moscow prices.
The benefits of its use are obvious both for advertisers and for ordinary Internet users who are looking for goods and services here.
Let's analyze them in more detail.
However, they are not so significant compared to the benefits of its use.
When you have little experience in launching contextual advertising, you do not feel confident or just want to try running a campaign on your own, we suggest using contextual advertising automation services without fail.
They will help you avoid mistakes in setting up campaigns, eliminate cost overruns, and allow you to use the maximum potential of this type of attraction. Such services can practically replace a professional contextual advertising agency, and for free.
One of the most important indicators when using contextual advertising is the cost per click.
Cost per click is directly affected by:
In order to find out the cost per click for various key queries for Yandex, I recommend using the service. Here you can “break through” any keyword and find out from it the level of competition, the average cost per click, the cost of guaranteed impressions, the price of entry into special placement, and much more.
Yandex also has its own tool for estimating the monthly budget of a future advertising campaign, which is called " Budget Forecast"
If you want to get the most out of your advertising budget, but do not have sufficient knowledge and experience, contact a professional director.
So today the demanded profession of a specialist in contextual advertising is called.
This term was based on the name of the advertising network - Yandex Direct, since the majority of entrepreneurs (advertisers) in Runet launch their campaigns through this network.
To find such a specialist, you can go to the site of remote employees fl.ru. Dozens of contextual advertising specialists hang out here.
But, you should not rush to choose and you need to know what criteria such a specialist must meet.
Criterion 1. Has completed projects with confirmed quantitative results
It is very good if you cooperate with a contextual advertising specialist who has positive feedback and successfully completed cases with detailed calculations in numbers.
Criterion 2. Understands key business processes in your niche
The broader the horizons of the specialist with whom you plan to work, the better. Tell him about your business and look at his level of erudition.
After all, this person will be engaged in a very important component of your project - attracting customers.
Now your director is the engine of trade in your business!
Criterion 3. Works with you to develop an advertising campaign strategy
Let your specialist tell you how much advertising budget he plans to spend and how many leads (clicks on ads) he will receive according to his forecasts.
Ideally, the search for a director begins with acquaintances who have already profited from his quality work.
If you yourself become a good specialist in setting up contextual advertising, then at least you will be able to sell your goods and services with high profits, as well as provide assistance to other entrepreneurs (companies) in this for a fee.
