Let’s go back to our film review podcast. Let's say you found a specific website you wanted to advertise your podcast on. Well, you have a few options here.
First, you could contact the site directly to work out the details, and that’s certainly something that happens. But with all the websites out there that offer advertising opportunities, you can imagine this can get pretty time consuming. This is where display advertising networks come in. They handle both the buying and the selling of display ads, linking businesses to websites that want to sell advertising space.
Another way to think of it is as a marketplace that brings businesses and websites together, helping manage the transactions. There are quite a few of these networks out there, like Google Display Network or Yahoo, and they all offer different features, but there’s a few things most all of them have in common.
First and foremost, they all offer businesses looking to advertise ad space on websites.
Websites that offer these ad spaces can become a part of these networks, and they can do things like set minimum prices for how much money they expect for showing ads.
Your business can then bid for the spots you want throughout all the websites in that network, deciding how much you’re willing to pay. Buyers and sellers are connected every single time pages are loaded, and the ads that win the right to fill the ad spot are shown.
Of course, each network has its own rules, its own features and its own processes and bidding systems, but the key is that they all match buyers and sellers to fill available ad spots.

Networks can also help you target specific audiences through two main routes:
the topics of the web pages where the ads appear, and general information about the people viewing the content. While the exact criteria you can use to find your audience, or the way you actually go about running your campaign, could vary from network to network, targeting is essential to get your ads in front of the right people.
Another thing networks do is handle the money involved. Buying and selling ads happens every second of every day, and the networks collect money from businesses and pay the websites that show the ads.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, advertising networks collect and share data with businesses.
- They can tell you how many times your ads are shown,
- how many times they’re clicked on,
- how much they cost you,
- where they’ve been showing up,
- and how all of this varies between the websites and audiences you’re targeting.
Many networks even let you add tracking to your web pages so you can see if your ads are resulting in conversions on your website.
If you want to use display advertising to promote your business across the web, advertising networks are a great place to start. They’ll bring you together with the websites that want to sell you ad space. They’ll let you decide where your ads will be seen, and who will see them. They’ll manage the money for everyone involved.
They’ll even provide you the data you need to know just how well your campaign is getting on.
