Unmatched tracking capabilities. You are able to obtain stats on how many views your advert received and how many click-through’s there were to your website. Monitoring the effectiveness of your online advertising through web stats means you can change those adverts that are not working or re-use those that are. Traditional advertising media is like shooting in the dark.

Pull form of advertising. Through the use of keywords on the search engines, you are attracting an audience who is not only searching for your product or service, but is already receptive or open to it.

Highly targeted audience. You can target exactly who sees your advert resulting in a highly receptive audience. Internet users are more affluent, better educated and more willing to spend money.

Availability. Your advert is available 24/7 for the period you have purchased. You have a longer exposure time for the period which you have paid.

These policies are intended to help guide advertisers, but the advertiser is solely liable for the Advertiser Content, notwithstanding My Dream Course’s acceptance of an insertion order or display of such advertisements.
