How to advertise on Linkedin - Site Owners Forums

alen12345 · 12-10-2011, 01:36 AM

Much like Facebook � LinkedIn Direct Ads allow you to target specific demographics (age groups, gender, location). They also allow you to upload a company logo or otherwise relevant picture to accompany your ad. In this way, LinkedIn sets itself apart from competitor Google � who offers only a string of keywords with which to find your target audience.

The biggest concern that we have with the ability of LinkedIn to generate a Facebook-like revenue stream is that that users simply spend less time on LinkedIn than they do on Facebook. Unless a company is looking to hire individuals, or you�re a new user who is setting up their profile � the likelihood that you�ll spend more than a few minutes a day on the site is pretty minute. Thus, a company looking to advertise for a particular event or product is better off reaching the same audience on Facebook with a cheaper cost-per-click rate and a larger possible audience.
