Pay Per Click Places You Where Your Customers Look: Page 1
|
Recent studies have shown that most searchers are now looking at just the first page of search results on Google and Yahoo. Pay-Per-Click advertising allows you to feature your company on that first page with the keywords you want. Fewer than 7% are looking at page two and beyond. They have less time to spend on search, and do not have the patience to dig through search results. Using PPC advertising to get your message in front of them is the key.. When they search, they are searching with something specific in mind. If they do not see those results, they will either conduct another search or will stop searching altogether. The listings that do appear on the first page will receive 93% of the clicks from the searchers. |

Pay-Per-Click Features You at the Top
|
| With hundreds of thousands - or even millions - of competing pages in search marketing you need to be at the top to be seen - at a minimum, on the first three pages. With PPC advertising you appear ahead of established and new competitors with ease.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. |

Pay Per Click Issues: Top Factors in PPC Campaigns
|
With more than 700,000 companies competing in pay-per-click adveritising how can you compete effectively? Most companies simply try it and test, often spending $5,000 to $500,000, managed by one person in their office who lacks the toolsets, knowledge and automation to truly maximize your advertising dollars. Did you know most campaigns contain at least 40% waste? A campaign with a budget of $20,000 can be throwing away $8,000 every month - $96,000 every year - on keywords that do not drive sales or leads. The problem is either you do not have enough keywords and are missing those that drive inexpensive conversions, you have too many keywords and do not know which are wasteful, or have a reasonable number of keywords but are unable to track and optimize the spend. Suppose we identified and cut that $8,000 in waste. That's $96,000 to the bottom line. But what if we put that $8,000 back into the campaign and spent it on the right keywords. You could increase your sales by 66% for the same monthly spend! Keep in mind, pay per click management is a daunting task for companies that do-it-themselves or look to a general agency to manage their campaigns. Consider this: |
