GDN can be ideal for B2B and small niches by providing instant advertising opportunities on over 2 million websites.

Unlike Google’s traditional search network where access is only on Google sites and ads are triggered by users actively looking for information or products, Google’s Display Network ads are displayed even though the user may not be searching for your information, services or products.  They may be simply browsing websites that interest them.

Google’s Display Network (GDN) is ideal for mass-appeal consumer offers and is capable of delivering large volumes of traffic in tune to millions of clicks per day.  GDN also gives you access to virtually any kind of website, target audience and markets.

GDN requires a different approach than Google’s Search Networks.  Often the best approach is ‘interruption marketing’.  Your ad must present an offer that is so engaging that the viewers will feel the need to stop and give your ad a moment of attention.

Unlike traditional Google Search Network ads, GDN gives you three additional creative options beyond the traditional text only ad.  HTML5 ads are good for animation and more advanced techniques.  Responsive Display Ads (RDAs) is where Google takes various ad assets such as images, heading and descriptions you provide and mixes and matches those assets in real time in an attempt to show the best ad to each viewer as they browse.  (A note, Google favours RDAs over other ad mediums.)  Of course you also have the option of uploading your own ad which is good if you have strict brand guidelines you must adhere.

One of the best advantages of using GDN ads is targeting.  Google provides an abundance of options in which to get your ads in front of your ideal target audience.  Options such as ‘Managed Placements’ gives you the ability to enter web addresses of the sites you’d like to advertise.  There’s ‘Contextual Targeting’ that gives you the choice to choose broad or narrow categories of sites on which to show your ads.  You even have the choice of ‘Affinity targeting’ which allows you to target people based on their long-term behaviour of types of websites they visit and searches they’ve done.  There are many more options including, ‘In-Market Targeting’, ‘Custom and Combined Audiences’, ‘Life Events’, ‘Behavioural Targeting’, ‘Demographics’ and more.
