Pay Per Click
Advertising
Pay per click advertising consists of ads (when you do a Google search, they
show up on the right hand side of the page) that are written by advertisers to be triggered when
certain keywords or phrases are searched on. Each time a person clicks on the ad, they are sent 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 (if done
correctly).

It’s fast – you can have a
campaign up and running in less than 30 minutes. Getting your site into the search
engine listings can take weeks or even many months depending on the competition
level. |

 |
If you understand how to manage a pay per click
campaign, you can have immediate feedback and metrics to determine the return
on your investment. You can see exactly how much money you’re spending, what your
potential customers are doing online, and what sales you’ve made. If you think about
advertising in the Yellow pages, it’s the exact opposite…with the Yellow pages, you
never even know if anyone sees your ad! |

 |
It can tell you what the money terms
are! How do you even know what search terms you want to optimize your
site for? You can test them quickly and easily with a pay per click campaign, and then
apply that knowledge to your search engine
optimization efforts. |

Pay per click advertising needs to be a part of every business owners’
Internet advertising campaign. Unfortunately, managing even a small pay per click campaign can be
complex and require very specialized knowledge and experience. There are several problems that the
novice advertiser runs into.
 |
Google’s rules and tips and tricks to
work within them – Google doesn’t make it easy to advertise. There are
lots of unwritten rules for how Google likes campaigns to be set up and run. These
rules have a direct impact on how much you’ll pay for the advertising. If not
respected and understood, many campaigns are doomed to be unprofitable. These rules
include: |
|
 |
Keyword grouping |
 |
Quality score |
 |
Ad relevancy |
 |
Click through rate
management |
 |
Bid pricing |
 |
And many more… |
|
|
|
 |
Keyword research – I guarantee that if
you’re already using adwords, you’re leaving out important keywords in your campaign.
If you have 10-30 keywords currently, you should most likely be bidding on 1,000-3,000.
It’s that big of a difference when you have access to the right tools and
strategies. |
|
|
 |
Ad testing – If you’re not split
testing (comparing a control to a candidate, or a different ad to see which is better),
you’re most likely getting only ½ 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 – There are several very
important tools in the market to help create and manage pay per click campaigns. The
problem is that they are expensive, and don’t make financial sense for one business
owner managing one campaign. |
|
|
 |
Only sending visitors to the home
page – There are probably many different types of potential customers for
your products and services. Sending them all 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. |
