Paid Advertising FAQs.
What’s a display ad?
A display ad is technically a type of Google Ad, but the term also refers to ads on other platforms, like Facebook, that follow a similar format. (They’re also known as ‘banner ads’.) Display ads are normally single images or videos with text and a hyperlink, displayed on the side or top of a web page, as pop-ups, or embedded among native content. They’re probably what comes to mind when you think of ‘digital advertising’.
But display ads aren’t your only paid advertising option. Native ads, which look like the platform or site’s actual content, don’t feel like advertising – which can make them even more effective. Native ads include Google Search ads, Sponsored Content on LinkedIn, and boosted Facebook posts.
What does re-targeting involve?
When you set up an ad platform like Meta or Google Ads, your paid advertising partner will install a tracking pixel – a small code snippet that sits in your website’s header and tracks the people who visit your website.
When those people go to other digital locations that your ad platform has access to (like Facebook), they can be ‘retargeted’ with ads tailored to their demographic and behavioural data. For example, if you provided social media management services, and a user visited that page on your website, they might be retargeted on LinkedIn with an ad that’s specifically for your social media services and tailored to their job title and company type.
Retargeting is incredibly powerful because it works on an existing interest base. You’re not spamming people who don’t care about what you do. You’re precisely targeting users who are already thinking about buying your product or service – and doing it in a way that is tailored to their past engagement with your brand.
What’s the difference between PPC and PPM advertising?
Pay-per-click (PPC) is a paid advertising pricing model that charges you, the advertiser, based on the number of clicks your ad receives. For example, if 200 people scrolled past your LinkedIn ad, but only 20 clicked on it, you’d only be charged for those 20 clicks.
Pay-per-mille (PPM) charges you for impressions, not clicks. (‘Mille’ is Latin for ‘thousand’ – PPM ads are normally charged per thousand impressions.)
Both PPC and PPM clicks have a place in your paid advertising mix. PPC is generally better for ads focused on driving specific outcomes, like online sales, qualified leads, or SaaS signups. PPM is normally used for brand awareness campaigns, where the goal is impressions over clicks.
