Your prospects are using Google and Yahoo to find companies to work with.  The Pay Per Click listings identify sponsors who offer the products and services they seek.  So what should you do?  Internet Advertising for Backup Software.

Marketing has changed radically over the last five years.  Unlike other forms of advertising, Pay Per Click Advertising allows interested prospects find youwhen they decide they need you.

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%.

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.

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 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.

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!
