HIT THE TARGET
Why Your Online Advertising Needs To Be Targeted
Many new comers to the Internet business believe that the degree to their
success is related to the level of traffic they can bring to their sites.
There is truth in this sentiment, but it must be molded by the actual
experience of doing business online.
Bringing visitors to a web site is necessary to producing sales.
After all, it is these visitors who will be transacting business with the
site.
Every business owner would agree that the higher the number of potential
customers who interact with his business, the higher the number of sales will
be.
But it is in this statement that an important Internet truth is touched on.
The number of visitors to a site is only beneficial according to the need of
these visitors for the site's offerings.
Interested visitors will respond to a site's offering, while visitors who
have no affinity for the site's offering will simply move on.
Website owners need to ensure that the traffic that they are receiving is
comprised of individuals who have an interest in the market segment being
covered.
Targeted advertising comes into play here.
For a site to be successful it must attract targeted traffic. The visitors
that see the site must have an expressed interest in the products and services
being offered.
Most spam emails are simply deleted because the recipient has no affinity to
the product or service being offered.
On the other hand, medical ads that appear in online medical trade journals
have a very high response rate because visitors have a clear interest in the
medical field.
Effective online advertising is based on matching the ad, or site, to people
who are already interested in the products and services being offered.
From a mathematical point of view, it is easier to produce sales from
targeted traffic than from generic visitors.
Let's assume that 1 out of 100 overweight people will buy a diet book today.
If they see your ad, you have a chance of capturing 1 sale per every 100
visitors you receive from this market segment.
Now let's say that in a random group of 100 people 30 will be overweight.
So you need 330 generic visitors to attract 100 overweight visitors.
This means that you need over three times as much generic traffic to gain a
sale than from targeted traffic.
It is for this reason that successful online businesses use targeted traffic
in their campaigns.
The only exception to this rule is when you can bring in an overwhelming
amount of traffic without breaking your budget.
An exception using the above example would be when you can bring in those 330
random visitors for less than the cost of bringing in those 100 targeted
visitors.
You would actually need more than 330 random visitors to make room for the
odds of there being less than 30% overweight visitors arriving to your site.
