two areas:

the starting point (by creating awareness
and interest) and also the end point,

action...

30. Getting to grips with Google
adwords
The AdWords system
calculates a 'Quality Score' for
each of your keywords. It looks
at a variety of factors to
measure how relevant your
keyword is to your ad text and
to a user's search query before
entering you into the auction
for that keyword.
A keyword's Quality Score
updates frequently and is
closely related to its
performance. In general, a
high Quality Score means that
your keyword will trigger ads in
a higher position and at a
lower cost-per-click (CPC).

Networks such as Specific Media and Aconion trade advertising on the internet, typically with agencies but also with advertisers directly. Some performance networks such as Criteo offer opportunities to retarget visitors to your site on the internet.
Digital advertising is often easier to track than responses from television or other traditional advertising channels. Whilst digital can be used as part of a campaign to promote a brand it’s more often used as a method for harvesting demand i.e. encouraging someone already considering a product or service to take the plunge and choose your brand
New advertising formats release by Twitter, Facebook and Youtube have helped advertisers to see social media as an opportunity to connect with potential customers. Formats such as the Facebook page post format allow advertisers to get their message into people news feed.
Between 30-40% of traffic to your site is likely to be made up of mobile and tablet browsing. Obviously this has a knock on effect as you need to ensure your site caters for the different formats required.
