    did i say that?

    what i mean is that you are paying to get x thousand ciews online, or a magazin will charge in part based on the size of it's readership. if you are paying a generalist site that has a broad spectrum then you are paying for all those views even if the odds are a fair percentage of them are pointless.

    whereas a magazine, a site or whatever that targets a set group will also be charging on that model but you get better value for money because more of the readers will be inside your target audience that might well buy the product

    Yes, you did say that.

    Son, please, no offense, but don't comment on things you know nothing about.

    There is already enough of that crap here.

    patronising, nice. care to answer my point?

    throwing money at broad spectrum advertising does not always give value for money because you are paying for advertising views/impressions/eyeballs/whatever from people that are outside of your target audience.

    it is not a case of getting your advert seen but getting it seen by the right people, ideally in the right environment at the right time.

    i said this

    given what i was saying and the context it doesnt take much to work out that i meant you are paying to get views from target audiences that are no good - so you are paying extra money than if you were just getting views from your target audience.

    nothing you have said has presented a counter argument

    I am not going to further ruin his thread by exchanging posts with some young inexperienced guy (or kid???) who thinks he knows what is going on.

    If I was in one of my usual teasing moods I save for clueless noobs, it would be different. heh heh

    One way I found out is by giving something away free. Say since you are in the health care industry why not have a simple BMI calculator or something that will help people keep a time frame such as a pill scheduler that sends you a text when you should take the next one.

    yes, claiming great experience is wonderful - and yet you refuse to address known marketing principals with regards laser targetting audiences. You believe me to be a kid or a noob if it makes you feel better, I shall let my arguments speak for themselves without insults
