Increasingly, ad revenues are linked to targeted marketing and low-profile ads. Many advertising networks display text-only ads that correspond to the keywords of an Internet search. These ads are believed to have a greater chance of attracting a user, because they tend to share a similar context as the user's search query. For example, a search query for "flowers" might return an advertisement for a florist's website.
Another popular, low-profile advertising method is embedding keyword hyperlinks in a webpage which are redirected through an advertiser. When a user follows the link, they are redirected to a sponsor's website. The user also can preview the ad's contents in a small overlay box by moving their mouse over the link.
