What is The Google Display Network & Why Must You Be On It - ISSUE 29 - 3/5/12

The Google Display Network (GDN) is the largest network in the world with millions of ad impressions daily, reaching over 81% of global online users, with an average of 30 ad exposures per person. The GDN also targets a range of sites, across over 60 different individual categories. This means that no matter who you are, or what industry you are in, people are looking for what you have to sell. The number one challenge is putting yourself in front of those people when they are ready to buy what you are selling.

Major players are maximizing this form of advertising and integrating it into their marketing strategies. In fact, the Senior Director of Hilton Worldwide, Dustin Bomar says, "Google's Display Network allows us to reach multiple customer segments at scale and it will continue to be a foundational piece of our online marketing."

When you advertise on the Google Network, you aren't just advertising on Google's Search Engine. You are actually advertising on over 1 million websites around the world. I'm sure you have noticed those pesky little ads on websites that say 'AdChoices' on the bottom. There are text, picture, and video ads. Those are all ads designed by Google and they are meant to help the user search for more relevant information pertaining to the website you are visiting at that time. It's mind boggling that most people avoid clicking on those links.

All the Google products are legitimate. They have worked very hard to make your web experience as easy and effortless as possible so don't be afraid to click on their ads on websites. They aren't going to hurt you. Instead, they will benefit you. However, once you become a Google Affiliate and begin to include these ads on your websites, you must never entice or coerce people to click on those ads because it's considered fraud by Google and you will be banned from the program for life. Google also works very hard to maintain the integrity of the program.
