Advertising Model
The web-advertising model is an extension of the traditional media broadcast
model. The broadcaster, in this case, a web site, provides content (usually, but not necessarily, for free) and services
(like e-mail, chat, forums) mixed with advertising messages in the form of banner ads. The banner ads may be the major or
sole source of revenue for the broadcaster.
The broadcaster may be a content creator or a distributor of content created
elsewhere. The advertising model only works when the volume of viewer traffic is large or highly specialized.
Portal -- is a point of entry to the web, usually a search engine that includes diversified content or services.
The high volume makes advertising profitable and permits further diversification of site services.

Personalized Portal -- allows customization of the interface and content. This increases loyalty as a result of the
user's own time invested in personalizing the site.

Niche Portal -- cultivates a well-defined user demographic. For example, a site that attracts home buyers, young women,
or new parents, can be highly sought after as a venue for certain advertisers who are willing to pay a premium to reach that
particular audience.

Classifieds -- list items for sale or wanted for purchase. Listing fees are common, but there also may be a membership fee.

Registered Users -- content-based sites that are free to access but require users to register (other information may or
may not be collected). Registration allows inter-session tracking of users' site usage patterns and thereby generates data of
greater potential value in targeted advertising campaigns.

|
Query-based Paid Placement -- sell favorable link positioning (i.e., sponsored links) or advertising keyed to particular
search terms in a user query, such as Overture's trademark "pay-for-performance" model.
|
| |
Contextual Advertising -- freeware developers who bundle ads with their product. For example, a browser extension that
automates authentication and form fill-ins, also delivers advertising links or pop-ups as the user surfs the web. Contextual
advertisers can sell targeted advertising based on an indivdual user's surfing behavior.
