WHAT IS PAID TRAFFIC Basically, it is a digital marketing strategy that aims to attract visitors to the channels of a company or business. Such as website, channel, blog, social networks, e-commerce, among others. This way, you can generate more leads, conversions and sales for your business.
However, paid traffic works through direct investment through advertisements . That is, you pay to appear in certain spaces. As an example, we can cite the ads that appear in the results of Google search pages .
Or those ads that appear before your videos on Youtube. Or even the ads that appear in the middle of your social media timeline. Thus, we can say that paid traffic is when customers need to be impacted by an ad from your company to access a channel of your brand.
BUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAID TRAFFIC AND ORGANIC TRAFFIC? In a practical way, organic traffic is the one that corresponds to visitors arriving on your company's channels (such as website, blog, e-commerce, social networks, among others). But in a spontaneous way through searches made in search engines, such as Google, for example.
In this case, there was no direct financial investment by the company to attract these visitors, such as advertisements, e-mail marketing, contact list, for example. So, we can say that these visitors reached your company's digital channels because they were interested in some content that was relevant to them. In other words, visitors searched for some keyword and found your company as one of the answers/solutions.
Be it your website, ecommerce or blog spontaneously, after finding one of your pages through organic search on Google, Youtube or other search engines. All this done through SEO, which is Search Engine Optimization. which in Portuguese can be translated as Search Engine Optimization.
Basically, SEO is the process of optimizing websites and content so that search engines like Google, Youtube and Bing, for example, find your website before others, placing it at the top of search results. And in addition to SEO, organic traffic also usually works with Content Marketing. Which, in short, is a digital marketing strategy that aims to engage and approach your target audience through relevant and valuable content for them.
And so, build and maintain a network of customers and potential customers through content that can help them solve their problems or needs.

2. MAIN ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES With paid traffic, your message can be delivered to more people when compared to organic traffic. Because the vehicles used to advertise, such as Google, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, among others, direct your message according to what your company chooses.
That is, it reaches people that perhaps organic would not reach right away. Another advantage is that paid traffic reaches your results faster. It gets more people to see your ads once the campaign goes live.
And this can be a great alternative if your company's goal is to make an immediate impact. That is, the return is usually much faster when compared to organic traffic. Also, paid traffic makes it possible to attract a segmented audience according to your business needs.
Nowadays, online advertising platforms provide options to very well segment the profile of the audience you want to reach. Such as age range, gender, geolocation (which basically is the region where consumers are) and even purchase profile or interests, for example. And even, you can even choose how much you want to pay for each ad.
In a sense, you are in control of where you want to go, who you want to reach, and how much you want to invest. And considering everything we've talked about so far, paid traffic will attract more visitors to your online channels that are relevant to your business's type of content. And so, your company will generate more interest from the public and, consequently, generate leads to be worked on and become actual customers and sales.

That is, for it to work, it is necessary to allocate funds for it. However, this disadvantage needs to be well evaluated by your company because paid traffic usually brings great results when well worked. Paid traffic has low durability.
That is, if you stop advertising, the results will cease to exist almost immediately. And because you have to use external advertising platforms, such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, among others, your company ends up being dependent on their rules and prices. Thus, depending on the case, your strategies will have to be adapted according to each platform.
3. TYPES OF PAID TRAFFIC COSTS As we said earlier, paid traffic works through financial investment in ads or advertising in the digital environment. That is, when opting for paid traffic, you or your company will invest money in specific actions, in advertisements.
Therefore, it is very important to understand and understand the costs involved in order to make sound decisions and maximize your return on investment. In this sense, there are two main pricing models in online advertising: cost per click (CPC) and cost per thousand impressions (CPM). COST PER CLICK (CPC): The pricing model known as Cost Per Click (CPC) takes a predefined amount each time someone clicks on your ad.
That is, you or your company only pay when users actively interact with the ad. In other words, you pay for every click made. COST PER THOUSAND IMPRESSIONS (CPM): In this case, the pricing model known as Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM) involves paying a fixed amount for every 1,000 times your ad is displayed.
That is, your company pays a fixed amount, regardless of the number of clicks that a particular ad receives. With that in mind, it's very important to plan your company's goals in depth. As well as what the budget will be to carry out your campaign or action.
Therefore, in paid traffic, it is possible to monitor the performance of your campaigns or ads in real time. And this is very important and must be done. And a metric that can help you a lot here is the ROI.
Which in a practical way, is an acronym that means Return on Investment in Portuguese. The ROI allows you to know how much money the company earns or loses in relation to the money invested in different fronts. That is, it is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of investments made.
Therefore, we highly suggest working on ROI when using paid traffic because it will indicate whether your actions are profitable or not. So, if you want to understand how it works, watch our video that shows this subject. with examples.
