Let’s say business is called “All The Best Electronics”, you would not want to affiliate your business with any product that is non relative to the main product, which in this case is electronics. The major brands or services on the internet today which are out there in the marketplace are strategically placing ads on their websites that are aimed for a specific target audience. It is not buy mere chance that these ads appear out of no where. So the same you would do as these major brands have done and target your audience so that it complements your major platform.
Another school of thought is to use services that are not related or targeted with the audience you have in mind. It is much more difficult because there is no specifics in mind. You are merely hoping that your audience will see you website and have a need at that time for product or service. If they do, lucky for you! You can still be effective in your brand’s visibility, because your brand is alongside other brands that your audience may be familiar with. Also, this gives you website visitors the opportunity to remember your website and return to it when they are ready to purchase what your brand has to offer. One cannot really determine buyer behavior in any case. You are simply getting your brand out there, hopefully to a captive audience in hopes that they will buy.
