Taboola

is a large native advertising platform that has more than one billion unique users all over the world. The advertisement is placed in mobile apps, blogs, websites. The Taboola advertising method is different from other platforms such as Google Ads. The company focuses on the advertising content from other websites for generating traffic and making agreements rather than on advertising brands and promotions. The strategy consists in displaying the content on more visited websites on the Internet so that it corresponds as much as possible to what the user is reading, generating in this way targeted thematic traffic for advertisers.

Despite the fact that Google Display Network is a leader in the reach and the number of partnership sources for display advertising it is not always appropriate to be limited to the launch of an advertisement just on Google. All platforms have different performance metrics and advertising campaign conditions, that’s why combining them quite often allows advertisers to achieve better results.

Before launching an advertisement we highly recommend you to follow these recommendations:

Select a format

Brief information about available advertising formats was given earlier. According to the advertising platforms and your goals try to choose one or two versions.

Determine the budget and advertising purposes

Be sure to determine how much you are ready to spend on advertising and what result you want to get from your advertising campaign. For example, you are interested in increasing the reach or increasing your sales. In the first case you need to set up the payment for impressions, in the second - for clicks.

Determine the target audience and the placement strategies

It is necessary to create a portrait of your audience and to analyze which websites will be interesting for your potential clients. Based on these data it is important to select advertising platforms.

How to assess the effectiveness of Display Advertising

In assessing the effectiveness of digital advertising we need to focus on the following indicators: CPM, CTR, ROI, ad reach, impressions and the conversion from click to lead.

In addition, it’s essential to remember to improve your company’s image and to increase brand loyalty with your audience. You shouldn’t expect an immediate growth performance, it will take some time after the launch or adjustment of digital advertising. It’s worth noting that digital advertising is not the only tool for lead generation, it’s rather unlikely that you will get a huge number of orders right away as it is usually used to tell users about a new product, increase brand visibility and bring users back to the website.
