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 Places Your Ad Above 10,000,000 Competing Pages
|
Many keywords now return 10,000,000 "relevant" pages - or more. With most searchers looking at just the first page of results, you need to be found on top. Pay-Per-Click advertising puts you at the top of the engines. 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).With PPC advertising, pay-per-click lets you decide which keywords to be found for and what message should be shown in the search engine. You only pay for the clicks and not for the impressions (the mere display of the listing). Comparing PPC clicks to a prequalification step, it quickly becomes apparent that these prequalified clicks are more valuable and can be extremely cost efficient. Remember - people who search and click are your best prospects - they are searching for what you offer. |

Experienced Pay Per Click Management Helps You Succeed
|
With so much competition and so much riding on search, experienced Pay Per Click management can help you succeed online. Today, your competition is actively bidding on keywords, driving up prices, and grabbing market share. Without professional PPC management, you are literally throwing money at search, hoping to win the game. Successful pay per click requires expert management. Every click costs you money, and every click must be accountable. Unless you are tracking and optimizing on a real time basis, you are literally clicking money down the drain. Suppose we evaluated your campaign and found 40% waste (which is typical). On a $20,000 per month campaign, that's $96,000 wasted annually. That could be money in your pocket, or, if channeled back into search, could increase your revenue from good keywords by 66%! 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: |
