Blog#9: The Internet advertising

Hello, I'm Kyoko. In this time, I will introduce the Internet advertising and its advantage and disadvantage.

Advertising on Internet is generally called the Internet advertising or online advertising and it means advertisement through pay media. With increasing of the Internet user, online advertising have also advanced. Why do people use the Internet to advertise? There are several advantages.

The first advantage is that you can find only information which you want to know. On TV commercial, you get too much information you don't need then, but on the Internet, you can look for just information you need. The second advantage is that you can order goods soon after you look an advertising. For example, when you want to a computer and get a catalog about it, you have to call or visit the store. However, on the Internet advertising, you can buy the computer only by clicking a button. It doesn't so much time and is so easy. Finally, when you make a page to advertise, you can know responses of who look the page and order some goods. Besides you can communicate with them through the Internet. These merits will lead to making better advertising.

While there are some advantages, there are several disadvantages. The first demerit is that these information have less confidence. As anyone can offer advertising on the Internet, there is also a lot of false and exaggerated information. Thus it is difficult for you to judge whether they are correct or not. Next, the Internet is technologically a developing media, so even if someone lay out a wonderful page, everyone can not look it as what it is.

Now as more people use the Internet, I think, when these demerits are improved, the Internet advertising will be able to be better for us to get information quickly and help our life.

    I think internet advertising is good way to advertise too, tough it has limited veiwers.
    I have a wonder that the advertisement before YouTube video is a internet advertising.
    If so, I think it's not selective as what you say.

  2. Hi Kyoko,
    This is Ms. MacGregor. I think another demerit is that when you click on an online ad, the company tracks you and so does google or whatever search engine you use. So, the next time you go online, you get ads popping up for the things you clicked on previously. It is a nuisance to me. Has it happened to you?

  3. Dear Kyoko,
    This is Ms. MacGregor. I am not sure if the advantages are really advantages - we do get too much information from the internet, whether we like it or now. Every we time we use it, we get more information or are distracted and waste time looking at something which we didn't intend to look at in the first place. And second, it may be dangerous to order something right away after seeing it online. We may be too hasty with our shopping and regret what we have done.
    However! I can't live without the internet, and I bet you can't either.
    Ms. MacGregor
