When Should you opt for Pay Per Click Advertisement

There is doubts in the fact that all sites do require search engine advertisement. But what is necessary is that you do a study of your website performance and decide when it requires Pay Per Click Advertisement.

There are primarily two types of search engine advertisement techniques that 99% of the website adopt in order to stay popular and within the reach of people. But there is a slight difference in the way it works. While all sites do need the organic search engine marketing services, it is not necessary that all businesses invest in pay per click advertisement.

While 99% of the sites opt for search engine optimization services also known as the organic SEO technique, only a 40% of those sites opt for PPC advertising. The vast difference in their usage is definitely because of the money factor. While organic SEO is free of cost, PPC requires investment. Payment is released from your PPC account every time a click is generated on your site.

Hence the number of people who opt for this are less. Even though pay per click advertisements are a comparatively expensive advertising technique, it is quite beneficial and productive too, and the reason is that they are targeted and focus the audience directly. But since they involve bidding which is quite an expense on the pocket it is suggested that you begin your search engine optimization with pay per click advertisements as they provide instant results; you site will be visible online in just a few hours. Simultaneously you should also begin promoting your business with search engine optimization techniques so they reflect on the SERPs soon.

Once your organic listing begins to show results, you can suspend the pay per click advertisements and enjoy the consistent and free listing of natural SEO.

PPC Advertising – What Are Its Types And Benefits?

To get immediate responses to your online advertising campaigns, use PPC advertising.

PPC advertising is the tool or a search engine marketing technique that indicates a process of bidding for the keywords to attain top rankings. Advertisers bid or buy popular (or the mostly clicked keywords by their targeted prospects) keywords related to the products or services they are offering.

Positions or rankings attainable through this means of advertising depend on the bidding – higher an advertiser bids, higher positions he or she achieves at the SERP. Since, higher rankings assure greater visibility, more people (or prospects) will click on the ads and visit advertisers' websites. For example, when an advertiser bids the highest for a keyword, he secures the top most position or number one ranking at all the search engine result pages.

PPC advertising has different variations such as pay per performance, per per placement, cost per click, pay per rankings and pay per positions. Whatsoever be the naming variations it has, it is widely one of the most favorite Internet advertising tool to advertisers worldwide. Why not? Advertisers can achieve top rankings without being tech-savvy or computer expert. Moreover, they can expect instant responses from ads withing a few days without conforming to the rules imposed by search engines to attain rankings. Advertisers can choose any search engines and keywords for PPC advertising – therefore, choices and freedom are paramount for advertisers.

Offline Conversion in PPC Advertising

There are a number of incidents which claim that pay per click advertising is not as profitable as it seems.

You too must have come across a number of incidents, when your click rates are lesser than your conversion rates. This is a very popular phenomenon in online advertising. Even though PPC Advertising is comparatively much more beneficial than other means of online advertising, the issue of conversion rates being less is a very common complain.

The major reason for this, is the fear of fraud in people. What they do is, indulge in extensive online research about the product they are interested in and then go offline to by it physically. This practice has resulted in poorer performance of the PPC advertising methods, which otherwise is quite a beneficial way of increasing sales in a website.

It is not that all users prefer to buy offline. There is a considerable rise in this number over the past few years, but it is yet to reach the level where it can be called beneficial to the company. In order to attain 100% conversion from PPC advertising, what the web masters must do is win the confidence of the users in making safe and secured transactions from their site. Is your website ready to make such a promise?

Pay Per Click Campaigns Enhance the Fortune of Search

The Top search engines these days are flourishing due to the amazing performance of the pay per click campaigns that are carried out by them.

The pay per click campaigns have made the top search engines, extremely powerful, both in prefession as well as in pocket. I say this because, I recently read an article, which stated that, one of the top search engines Yahoo, has a market value of $45 Billion and could be even more now, coz the article I believe was written a couple of months ago. This shows that, the growth of online marketing and pay per click campaign in particular is amazing and has got a lot to do with the current outburst of e commerce, where more and more websites wish to be visible online.

The increase in the demand of pay per click campaigns in the search engines, also indicate a paradigm shift of people's interest from the typical search engine organic methodology to the comparatively swifter paide service. This interest can be supported by a number of reasons and the primary one amongst them is the fact that paid campaigns are comparatively faster in responding to results. They are quicker in nature and have a more flexible results indication in comparison to the organic searches. Where organic search results are completely in the hads of the search engines and its indexing algorithm, the pay per click campaign can be tracked by the users, they are monitored and decided by them too.

The only problem with these search results is that they are more commercial in nature and at times are not very reliable. They are nore promotional than user friendly. Though they are financially more beneficially to the search engines, just hoping that they do not capture the entire search market making it more of a commercial hub than a place of information.

Earn More With Pay Per Click Advertising

You can now earn more with pay per click campaigns by actually paying less. Know how...

Pay per click is an easy to understand and easier to operate search engine marketing technique which is gaining tremendous popularity these days. The reason for this popularity is primarily because of the tremendous search results that these search engines gain every day. I have heard that Google actually receives more than 300 million searches every day, can you beat that?

Pay Per Click is the mode of advertisement by choice for many,since they are targeted, fast and focused. Pay per click ads help you get the top position in the search engines, so that you attain greater clicks on the keyword that you have registers. But for that it is essential that you make the right selection of keywords.

Websites that take too demanding keywords are unable to retain the top position as it is a highly competitive one. And at the same time it is extremely expensive too. Instead I suggest that you bid for a comparatively lesser keyword which is not so much in demand. This will not only prevent you from the high competition that other keywords run, but at the same time, it will also be comparatively much lesser in price too.

But do not worry about the traffic, traffic is equally compressed in thee keywords too, so you need not compromise on that.

One last thing, do not forget to add a few specific keywords to your search too, they make your PPC campaign exclusive and ensure good website traffic.

Learn To Write a Good Pay Per Click Ad

The most important part of pay per click campaigns are th ads that the website owners publish. It is the ads that attract traffic and not the keywords.


Most of us always concentrate on the keywords for which our website is suppose to rank in the search engines for our pay per click ad. We forget that the keywords are not the end of the PPC ad. The ad content is still left.

I agree that it is the keywords that help you attain a rank in the search engines, but have you ever thought why and for what shall people click on your Pay Per click ad campaign if the ad content is not written well.

The keywords act as just the index for search. The actual query is solved only when the user, reads your ad content which appears below the title in the search engine resulting pages and then clicks on the page to enter your website.

Some of the important features that your pay per click ad campaign must have includes, a descriptive yet attractive title. The title of your ppc campaign must be written extremely well, carrying your keyword too. The keyword will tell the users that it is similar to their search key phrase and the following content will tell them how close it is to their search. The user will click on your ad only when he is satisfied with what you have written in the ads.

I advice, to keep your pay per click ad content simple and to the point. Try and describe what the resulting page can offer to the user. Meaning its core ingredient. If possible incorporate the keyword in your ad description too so that the user can connect with it faster. At the same time you should also ensure that you are not be-fooling the users. Do not write things in your ad description that are not true, they will misguide the user, and you too will not be able to benefit from them.

Don't Forge To Monitor Your Pay Per Click Ad

Pay per click ads are great means of growing your Online business, but it is extremely important to keep a track on what is going on with your campaign in order to stop being mislead.

Every time I talk on par per click, I tell everyone to keep a track on their pay per click campaigns. When I say keep track, I do not intend to aim at only the scam bit of the campaign, which definitely is a serious matter of concern and requires attention, but I also want all web marketers to check the efficiency of their campaign itself.

Beginning with the basics first, let me tell you that it is always beneficial to run your PPC campaign on a number of keywords. Not only this, make sure that the keyword content in each case is different from another and each of the keywords are bid for different positions in the search engines. As a matter of fact I would also recommend that you run the campaign in a number of search engines at the same time, in order to take out the best of your search engine marketing campaign.

While you are doing this, you will be able to find out which ad type, which keyword and which position is most beneficial to your website advertisement and you will be in a better position to market your products in future.

Talking about performance, it is not always that the clicks that are generated in the search engines, necessarily lead to sales. It often happens that the content of the pay per click campaign in not well written and tends to mislead the visitors, who click on the ad but do not find it relevant to their search. Therefore, it is extremely important that your clicks be well written rightly explaining the purpose of site so that no click is wasted as irrelevant.

Many a times, even though your content is perfect and your positioning is right your campaign tend to generate clicks that are empty. These are false clicks which are also known as click fraud. If your keep track of the IP addresses that are generating these clicks, you can charge the search engines for them.

So here I go again! Be careful with your pay per click campaign and don't forget to monitor them.

Get Better ROI from Every Click

Pay per click can get you the business you are waiting for, you just need to get a little focused in your approach.

All web masters work towards the same aim. They wish to see all their leads converting into sales one day. Each click that your pay per click ad generates is that of a potential customer, and if all these clicks could be converted into customers there would be nothing stopping your Online business campaign. This definitely seems to be a difficult task but is not an impossible one for sure. Lets see how you can make your click business work on the internet.

Most Online advertising experts, I know and whom I have read, back the benefits the PPC (pay per click) campaigns in earning leads from websites. But at the same time, they also talk about some specific changes or rather upgradations that one needs to carry out in the websites in order to make them user friendly. Most of the write ups on the secret of the success of pay per click campaign talk on how the webpages should be optimized and how right keywords should be used for bidding. What they forget talking about is the latter part of the game, where the users have landed on the page and are ready to interact with you.

Here we are going to take a peek into those aspects of pay per click campaign that come much after the visitor have clicked on your pay per click search engine ads.

The first thing in this regard is to remain consistent throughout your website. Many websites do not realize the importance of remaining consistent in site flow. What they convey in one page is generally not to be seen on other pages, this is a conflicting issue which might disturb the visitors. Guys, let this not happen in your website. Remember the mantra 'Consistency'

Next, don't say too much at the same time. Yes, talking about too many things in one go is confusing to the visitor and he might juts go away without understanding anything. So stick to one thing at a time.

Keep things simple, and focus on the plan of action. The action plan is what you want your visitors to do in your website. Focus on it and try and direct your user's attention to it also.

A web page is ideally considered to be the best place where you can advertise other pages of your website. Meaning when a visitor is in one page, give him the hint of what else you have in your website and direct him to other pages of your website.

These little things in a website matter a lot, and will help in converting your visitors to customers. These will definitely make your pay per click campaign journey smoother than what it has been so far.

The Side-Effects of Google Keyword Trademarking Policy

The new trademark policy introduced by Google has already moved several bidders out of the game.

Even before the new trademark policy for Google keywords was launched, it was predicted that the policy would result in a massive fall in bidders. According to the changed keyword policy, brands can now bid on their competitor keywords too.

Looking at the search results for some famous websites after the policy was brought into effect, it seems like a lot of advertisers are making good advantage of the situation. The big brands ar the biggest victims of the policy. Lastminute.com is having to face issues with other smaller companies who are making use of its popularity. As a matter of fact Lastminute.com is also suing Google for its Policy.

This policy is definitely a blessing to the SMEs as they can make use of the bigger players to play their game, but what about the credibility of the pay per click campaign which Google had enjoyed so far. Most established PPC campaigners are strongly opposing the new policy launched by Google.

Advertisers who are still left in the bidding game will have to maintain a high enough click through rate, in order to maintain their minimum CPC levels, in order to fight and survive in this game.

In one of the blogs I was reading on the topic today, I came across a great observation which stated that this upheaval in the pay per click market due to this policy is just a matter of time, and mostly out of the curiosity aroused in most people, and that this will soon come to a much more stable platform in a few days time.

Thanks friend, for your consolation. Hope things actually turn the way you predict.

Bitten By the Click Fraud Bug?

Click Fraud has hampered a lot of businesses with its inflated business budgets.

Today businesses are scared of investing on click business, meaning pay per click job. Have you ever though what is the reason that even after persistant reporting and threatening, the click fraud business has not come to an end yet.

The paid search engine ranking is the most effective Online marketing tool which is widely used across the globe for advertising websites and to attract traffic to the website. But the threat of click frauds has dampened the spirit of Online marketers who are now sceptical about investing money in the business now.

The spreading plague is posing a big threat to the Internet advertising tresure box. Click Fraud is the most troublesome question that the world leaders in the market- Google and Yahoo, are having to face everyday. And why not, the search engines are being accused of recycling the ads they buy to other sites in order to boost their profits. There have been several cases reported where website owners are being charged for clicks that are being generated at far end corners of the world where their website has no trace or existence.

Internet marketing spends are growing at a much faster rate than of any other industry. The internet marketing spends is expected to rise to $29 million by the end of 2010. This is no doubt a huge sum that is capable of taking internet marketing to new heights. Only if the diminutive practices can be stopped.

The unruly practice of these search engines is just like a friend sneaking into your house at mid night and stealing money out of your wallet and poor you, you will never suspect it. Google and yahoo say that they reimburse the money or do not charge for clicks that are doubtful in any manner. But the question is, why at all allow click Frauds? Can't they just for once, be satisfied with what they are getting in first place (and that itself is a HUGE amount no doubts.) instead of acting as a foe in disguise.

How to Bid for Pay Per Click Campaigns

Pay Per Click is a quick and effective search engine optimization tool. Here are some techniques which you can use in order to bid for pay per click campaigns.

By now you have realized how essential it is to have your website ranking up there in the search engines. Getting a website to rank on the search result pages is quite a difficult task. Search engine optimization through organic search techniques is a slow process and takes a long time to show results. Where as search engine ranking through pay per click techniques is a comparatively easier task. All you need to do is bid for some targeted keywords and pay the bid amount to the search engines every time a visitor clicks on the add that you have placed.

The whole trick of success in pay per click campaigns depends on the bidding technique that you adopt. Let us now have an overview on the kind of bids that can be placed and which amongst these are the most beneficial bids.

The success of a bid depends on the competitiveness of the keywords that your demand ranking for. The fact is that higher the keyword demand greater is the bid amount and tougher is the chance of securing the top position. Instead it is much wiser to select a moderate keyword and bid on it so that you can easily get the top position for the keyword.

Another feature that you need to keep in mind while bidding for a pay per click campaign is to select the ranking position carefully. Most of the times, website owners wish to appear on the top of the list. But it is not necessarily the best position always. Web surfers have become wise enough to realize that the top few positions are reserved for paid searches hence, they tend to avoid them. So it is not always right that your website will do well if it is ranking on top. The suggestion here is that try experimenting with different positions in the SERP, but remember to stay in the top five so that your link is visible within a scroll.

Pay Per click campaigns are no doubt risk games which might click or might not click. Be very careful while you play this game and keep enjoying it too.

Is Pay Per Click Really Value for Money

Pay per click is big business but is it big engoung to invest millions of marketing money into the industry?

A survey revelas that pay per click advertising accounts to as much as 40% of the national advertising spends. Whoops!! isnt that a HUGE amount? Well no doubts about it that Online marketing and interent advertising is a growing phenomenon and pay per click is the hottest buzz in town. But is investing such a huge amount in this stream relevant enough?

I raise this point because I have seen many business going down the drains with the wrong usage of ppc campaigns. Yes it is true, where PPC campaigns have the ability to bring a business to top it has also exhausted a nember of businesses. The main reason for this is that they did not know th eright processdure to carry out the campaigns.

Like any other marketing technique, the pay per click campaigns too critical and involve a lot of money. The earlier versions of PPC i.e. PPA pay per action were still more convenient as the user had to pay only when the pre-set action was attempted by the user, but with PPC, the user is made to pay a pre-defined money as soon as a visitor clicks on the advertisement. This becomes a huge risk. And the fcat is that not always do all the clicks convert into leads or sales. Rather only 10% of the clicks really do.

In order to make sure that your pay per click campaigns are beneficial and help you in progressing with your account, make sure that you have made the right selection of keywords and that you are making good use of the position where you are placing your ad. Keep rotating your places to make full utilization of all the positions and check for yourself which is most beneficial to you.

What I understand is that Pay Per Click is a risky game, a gamble to me, and only those who click win. So if you opting for PPC, be careful, keep tracking your account and bid cautiously.
