Advertising online is the ‘done thing’ for businesses in the UK. A major benefit of online advertising on the Internet is that you are not limited by geography or time. Another is that online advertising can be immediate which allows you to check and adjust the information or images to suit.

Examples of online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, Rich Media Ads, Social network advertising, online classified advertising, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam.

Online Advertising in 2009 – How popular is it?

Our experience have shown us a lot of people are asking us to advertise their business this year. Half the problem is that most advertising agencies are very expensive and can seem to offer little.

Advertising spending on the internet has overtaken television expenditure in the UK for the first time, according to a report today.

A record £1.75bn – nearly a quarter of the total ad market – was spent online in the first half of this year, compared with £1.64bn for TV, the study said.
