Content discovery – publisher links to relevant content cuts out search marketing

  • News & views

For some time publishers and advertisers alike have been running Cost Per Click (CPC) campaigns in search engine results – the idea being that users who are searching for relevant content will be open to buying a product related to that search.
But what about users who are already engaged in relevant content? Why should a user return to a search engine to read other sources on the same subject?
A recent and growing trend in digital and content marketing has been to run content based CPC campaigns on publisher websites linking directly to other relevant content – even on other publishers. If the user is already engaged in that subject then they’ll want to find more relevant content. From an advertiser perspective, these new campaigns differ to traditional CPC campaigns in that engaging content is promoted instead of a brand or product.
The key is to ensure that the additional content offered is relevant to the user and presented in an appropriate and attractive context – not next to gossip or cat stories.
