Introduction

The hesitancy of investing money on internet advertising is understandable when you're not sure what type of return, if any, you'll get. You may believe it is a waste of money, but only if you don't know what you're doing.

That is, at best, defensive thinking. In our opinion, the finest defensive plan is a great offensive. If you want to be the alpha, you must play large. The quantity of sales money that your company may generate through advertising is simply too large to ignore.
