Online Advertising, also known as Digital Advertising is a marketing strategy that uses internet as a medium to drive traffic to your website, reach target audience and deliver marketing messages to the right customers. It is a quick method of promotion of product information. It allows your business to reach beyond your existing customers making it easier for the advertisers to break the barriers of time and locations.
Here are few types of online advertising:

Display advertising not only includes images and text but it also includes videos and audios. It uses more graphics to attract the viewers. The only thing that matters is the quality of visitors. Display advertising is sometimes called as “Banner advertising.”
- CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions)
Here the advertisers pay when their messages are exposed to specific audiences. It is a bit different way of advertising. In order to display your advertisement using CPM, you can pay for a fixed number of times instead of paying for fixed period of times. This number is usually a multiple of 1,000 and you pay per thousand, or per mile.
