How much is advertising on the network

The price of advertising on the Internet depends on different factors:

• type of ad - a banner is more expensive than text because it is more visible;
• format - the price of a video ad is higher than a static banner, because its creation requires more time, effort, and budget;
• payment model - per click (CPC) or per 1000 impressions (CPM). In the first case, the company pays for real transitions on the banner, which allows reducing promotion costs;
• region and geography. A publication targeting residents of large cities will cost more than if the client is located in small towns;
• specifics of targeting settings, when the ad is customized for a certain audience, taking into account the age, occupation, and interests of users. Such options will cost more, but will improve the conversion rate.

Prices can change very often, depending on the current market situation. To find out the cost of an advertising campaign for your project, please contact the manager of IT-company MEGASITE.

The main models of paying for advertising on the Internet - what you need to know

Marketers distinguish three main models of payment for advertising on the Internet:

• CPM - payment for 1 thousand banner impressions. The price of advertising on the Internet is calculated based on the fact that if the cost of CPM is equal to $1, then for 1 thousand impressions the company will pay $1. This option is convenient because you can immediately calculate the budget. The disadvantage is low conversion rate. According to statistics, the maximum transition on such links rarely exceeds 10%;
• CPC - pay per click. The company pays for a specific action of the client, but it is not a fact that it will be effective;
• CPA - the client pays for a resultant action of the client, for example, the purchase of goods. The advantages of the method - payment for a specific result, and the disadvantage - the high cost of online advertising, the complexity of customization, the probability of low conversion.

To determine which payment method is suitable for your business, you need to take into account the budget and the purpose of the advertising campaign. For example, CPC is effective for attracting traffic to a website, while CPM is suitable if you want to make your brand recognizable.
