12. US Internet Advertising – Definition of Ad Types Search/Text: Text ads that are displayed on the results page of a search query and that are related to the search terms. Also included are text ads that appear on a page based on the context of the content instead of a user-submitted keyword. Display: Visual ads that are placed on 3 rd party websites to drive traffic to an advertiser’s own website or increase product/brand awareness. Can be in a variety of formats including static display (banner ads), rich media (banner with animation/other interactivity) or video. Classifieds: Advertisements that list specific products or services, such as job ads and employment listings, real estate listings, automotive listings, auction-based listings (such as on eBay), and yellow pages entries. Internet advertising comes in all shapes and sizes – Kiva is looking to primarily expand its presence in display ads. Kiva is a Google Grants recipient, receiving free advertising through Google Adwords. Kiva hopes to build awareness and grow its lender base through an online campaign featuring high quality display ads.
