Pay Per Click Overview

PAY PER CLICK (PPC)

PPC (Pay-per-click) marketing is a mode of using adverts on search engines to generate clicks to a website. PPC adverts are most often displayed at the top, bottom and right-hand side of Search Engine Results Pages .Each time a person clicks on the ad, they are redirected to the advertiser’s website, and the advertiser is charged for that “click”.

Pay per click advertising can be a VERY profitable way to increase sales and leads and should be part of every business owners’ Internet advertising campaign.

Unfortunately, managing even a small pay per click campaign can be complex and requires very specialized knowledge and experience. There are several problems that the novice advertiser runs into.

The most complex part of PPC is Understanding Google’s dynamic rules, tips and tricks – Google has lots of unwritten rules for how campaigns should be set up and run. These rules have a direct impact on how much you’ll pay for the advertising. These rules include:

  • Keyword grouping
  • Quality score
  • Ad relevancy
  • Click through rate management
  • Bid pricing (The position of the advert on the page is determined by a bidding system)
  • Keyword research – Most companies have anywhere from 10 to 1000’s keywords and should most likely be bidding on 1,000-3,000. The right tools and strategies can make a big difference in your campaign.
  • Ad testing – If you’re not split testing, you’re most likely getting only 1/2 the visitors to your site than you should be.
  • Conversion tracking – Most business owners don’t know how to track whether a dollar spent on advertising generated any sales. Obviously, without this information, you’re flying blind.
  • Tools – Having the right tools in the market to help create and manage pay per click campaigns is critical.
  • Targeted sales pages – Sending all your visitors to a generic home page isn’t nearly as effective as sending them to a targeted page that tells them exactly how you can solve their particular problem.
