This is our tribe’s collective brain dump of insights on paid search, display, and PPC channels. You can use this guide to determine if a specific channel is a good pick for your advertising needs.

Paid Traffic That Pays

It’s no secret that the nerds at EmberTribe love paid traffic. It’s our main squeeze, our reason for being. If EmberTribe were a car, paid traffic would be our engine. Who says poetry is dead? 😍

But seriously, we love paid traffic because it works. Using paid traffic at the outset of your marketing plan gives you:

  • A clear indication of what will work to reach your company’s audience.
  • Measurable results and feedback on a very short time table.
  • An understanding of what kinds of content converts best.

We like to call running paid traffic a “rent-to-own” approach. You’re investing money and time in getting your growth system set up (kind of like sweat equity, right?) and getting the information you need to make informed decisions. 

So here’s some helpful information about some of the top display, search, and PPC advertising channels to help you make those informed decisions. We’ll cover what each platform provides, where it falls in the sales funnel, pricing, restrictions, and specific strategies for each channel.
