While our prospects use search every day, what steps are you taking to compete?  Advertising for Car Sale.  Promoting yourself online.  The concepts are the same: position yourself where your prospects are searching.

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..

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 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 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.

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.

Do you think your PPC bid management strategies are working?  If you said "what strategies" you are in the right place.  But seriously, most companies are scrambling to keep up, leaving most of the profits on the table.

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.
