Cyber Gear Reports Importance of Text Advertising in Online Marketing


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The growing importance of text advertising to promote any product or service online cannot be ignored. Despite all the buzz about rich media lately, the simple text ad is still the most effective way to advertise online.

According to a recent survey by a leading market research firm, it was found that 25% of web site visitors are more likely to click on a text-only ad when they visit a web site, a preference that beat out every other ad format.

The benefits of text ads are:

1. Cost effective
2. SEO friendly
3. Less obtrusive
4. Related to content
5. Easy to implement

According to Sharad Agarwal, the founder of Cyber Gear, "As opposed to banners that tend to be graphically noisy with many colors and animation, and sometimes even literally noisy with sound, text ads are subtle additions to the original content. As website publishers we strive to keep a good balance between content and 'noise' and text ads are a good choice in this regard. Besides text ads do not take any real estate and are a better option for monetization."

Cyber Gear is presently offering text advertising on the following portals:
