  7. Advantages Can target people who are interested in the material Pay only on an efficient “cost per click” basis Generally low-risk Set what you are willing to pay by bidding Disadvantages Generally low-impact Hard to scale because only so many people are searching for any term Largely driven by news cycles and earned media, so pay-off is hard to predict Hard to do well without being time-intensive Search / Contextual

  8. Search / Contextual Example Paid search results based on keyword. Organic search results. Can’t pay for a higher ranking.
