Why Online Directory Advertising

The effectiveness of any online marketing campaign boils down to one crucial issue - qualified traffic. Whether a Web site is designed to sell products or promote services, the objective remains the same. You need to identify your most valuable prospective customers and direct them to your company at the exact moment they're ready to buy.

Online directory advertising makes that happen - in a big way. It is perhaps the single most effective marketing strategy for ensuring that online brands and messages connect with targeted online audiences. Think about it - each time a customer clicks to your site from a directory placement, he or she has made four decisions:

  • They decided to look for information online;
  • They selected one of thousands of online directories to locate that information;
  • They typed in a specific keyword or phrase that is relevant to your company;
  • They clicked to your site by selecting it from dozens, hundreds or even thousands of other site links within that directory category.
That's about as targeted as it gets.

Online directory advertising also enables businesses to track results and analyze ROI more accurately than virtually any other type of advertising strategy. Through our ROI evaluation process, you can track inquiries, online acquisitions, cost per acquisition and other crucial Web statistics - and break the results down by online directory category, site, placement, keyword and creative.

Finally, online directory advertising offers unparalleled flexibility. Unlike print advertising, online directory options can change on a daily basis. You have more flexibility in a greater number of areas. You can easily change ad frequency. You can even select how to pay for your program by opting for a cost per view (CPM), cost per visitor or cost per acquisition structure.

Put it all together, and online directory advertising offers one of the best marketing values available. It is one of the most effective means available for reaching targeted customers and building your business.
