Leveraging Pay-Per-Click to be Found on Page 1 is Critical
|
Studies have shown that 93% of people do not look past the first page of search results when they search on Google, Yahoo and MSN. If they do not find what they want, they simply do another search or give up completely. The engines allow advertisers to bid on Pay-Per-Click listings that feature them at the top of the listings. Being found on the second page will only get you 7% of searchers; page three sees only 1%. This raises a critical issue: you must be seen to be found; you must be found to get the clicks; you must get the clicks to secure new business. Identifying the right keywords and listing them in a managed pay-per-click campaign is essential to driving revenue and achieving a solid ROI. |

Pay Per Click Lists Your Company Ahead of Millions
|
Pay Per Click lets you jump ahead of millions of competing listings quickly. The search engines all use Pay-Per-Click as their primary advertising model. With Pay-Per-Click (PPC) you advertise with the search engines. You select the keywords you want to be found for and Google and Yahoo will feature you above millions. With Pay Per Click you only pay when people click on your listings. The display of your ad (also called an impression) is free. You bid against other advertisers and, in simple terms, the highest bidder gets rank first, the second highest is second, and so on (the actual ranking is based on a complex formula, but this demonstrates the general compcept).These listings receive approximately 40% of all clicks; when looking at clicks that lead to a transaction (a purchase or lead) that number climbs significantly. More importantly, the people searching and clicking are your best prospects - they are proactively searching for what you offer. |
