When it comes down to choosing between online versus offline channels, ask yourself which ones fit best with your budget, audience, and message.

Knowing what kind of content your readers like, where they come from, and what time of day/week they visit is beneficial.

Finding leaks in your ads can be daunting, especially if you are new to them. There are no specific rules as to where to start.

Ad metrics can be deceiving. Many visits to your site mean that only a few people are buying your product. One company with millions of page views but only a small number of conversions will not fare well. Compared to another with a small number of page views and lots of conversions.

All advertising metrics are not equal. It's essential to choose the right ones and know how your ads perform so you can make informed decisions that will move the needle for your advertising campaigns. Historically, two metrics were measured to evaluate the success of an online ad campaign: Clickthrough Rate (CTR) and Cost per Click (CPC).

If you build an online business, you'll find yourself spending a lot of time analyzing the success of your advertising campaigns. As your traffic grows and as people begin paying more attention, it is even more critical to monitor how your ads are doing.

Make sure you cover all the bases of why someone should signup before executing a scale campaign.

The answer is that you don't have to wait! You can start researching and changing your keywords right away! It's a good idea to keep the exact targeting for the campaign's duration, but if you're worried about how long you should keep it the same, give it a month. If you change it early, you're missing out on potential customers who might have been interested in your product. If you're still getting clicks on your ad a month later, you can test out different targeting options to see which ones will work best.
