What is Pay Per Click (ppc) ?

Filed Under advertising | Comments Off

Amit asked:


“What is Pay per Click (PPC)?

PPC stands for Pay Per Click. It is a method of paying for advertising on the Internet search engines. More people know as an Adwords or Paid Advertising.

Users who are searching for the products/services you are selling are in a receptive mode and most likely to convert to paying customers.

How does Pay Per Click (PPC) work?

Taking Google search engine as an example, when a user is searching for “”ppc advertising”", your PPC ads will be displayed as right hand side part of the search engine results. Depending on how compelling your ad copy is, a user can decide to click on the ad for more information.

Upon clicking on your ad, the user is redirected to your website and your account is charged a fee per the click on the ad. The most compelling aspect of PPC advertising is - you pay only when user clicks on your ad. Or in other words, you only pay for qualified traffic delivered to your website.

How Google decides the position of your Ad Word?

The Position of your adwords for particular keyword depends on your campaign budget and CTR (Click through Rate) of that keyword. Getting Maximum CTR for your targeted keyword is the key factor to rank your key phrases in Google Adwords.

How do I Maximize my earnings from Pay Per Click (PPC)?

1) Relevance is key:

More time you spend on selecting your keywords to be as relevant to your web site as possible and creating a relevant focused landing page, more will be your conversion rate.

If you attempt to use a lot of broad keywords, you’re probably going to be disappointed with the performance of your campaign. Google rewards publishers for a high CTR (Click through Rate) it means having keywords that are highly relevant to your web site will decrease CPC (Cost per click) bid amount you pay for each click.

2) Write strong ads:

Each one of your ads should have strong copy. You should write in manner that gives users a call to action. The quality of your ad copy can make or break a campaign.

After the selection of keywords, ad copy is the most important skill to master. Inventa Technologies typically spends a few hours for the creation of a single ad creative (headline + two lines of text). Google helps by automatically serving the ad creative with the highest CTR (Click through Ratio), however as is the case with all other advertising channels - it is important to test, test and retest.

3) Opt for Search Engine Results Only:

If the PPC engine you are using has a content network, turn it off! Google allows it and Yahoo allows it.

For most industries, the content network delivers lower conversion rates compared to the search network. The best way to ensure that you get the most targeted traffic for your investment is by only displaying your ads on search engine result pages.

Conclusions:

Having a Pay Per Click (PPC) can help your business to gain significant competitive advantage and good Return on Investment (ROI).

Scott Michael asked:


A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an “oversight” on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his “secret” is illegal - nor does it require that you know someone on the “inside” at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it.”

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses - all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses “I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …”

I must say it really is a new twist on an age-old concept. You may have seen what are called “Ad Sheets” in business opportunity newspapers over the past few years. The designer of the Ad Sheet buys full-page print ad space in bulk so as to receive a sizable discount in the publication. Next, advertisers who could not afford to place ads at regular rates in the publication, instead send their ads to the Ad Sheet organizer who then arranges the ads onto a blank template the size of a full page in the publication and inserts the full-page ad into the magazine or newspaper at his discounted rate.

The net result is, advertisers get the same exposure for a fraction of the cost, while the Ad Sheet organizer makes a healthy profit. It truly is a win-win-win situation for the Ad Sheet organizer, the publication, and the advertisers.

This same concept can be applied to a web page where ad space is sold in the form of banners and text links in order to cover the cost of pay-per-click advertising. The resulting PPC traffic is monetized by offering them ad space on the web page, in addition to presenting offers of interest initially described in the PPC ads.

It’s a most ingenious concept to generate free advertising, and surprising that it had not surfaced on a widespread basis much sooner.

Pay Per Click Programs

Filed Under advertising | Comments Off

Groshan Fabiola asked:


When you start internet marketing you will have many questions: How to generate online traffic? How to get traffic to your site? How to make money online? The best answer to these questions lies with Pay Per Click (PPC). Pay Per Click advertising involves creating an ad with a link back to your web site. You do not pay for displaying the ppc ad on a web site; you pay every time somebody clicks on that ad and is sent to your web site to become a new customer.

One way to drive traffic to your web site and make money is with a PPC affiliate program. A program, like SearchOnlineDaily, will pay you up to 60 - 90% of the bid amount plus 5% of your referrals earnings. This way you can make money each time somebody click on your PPC advertisement. It is often free to join a PPC affiliate program and you can earn a residual income every month in addition to site visitors.

Your site can get the most traffic when it has advertisements in a variety of search engines and Pay per click directories. A PPC search engine will let visitors search for keyword terms and select the best choice from search results derived from that PPC site’s pay per click advertisers. Using pay per click marketing you can make money both through effective pay per click directory sites and PPC affiliate programs and also from the added traffic to your web site.

Many of the top search engines like Google, yahoo and MSN can charge more than one hundred dollars for one single click on very competitive keywords. There are pay per click sites that can give you more traffic and site visitors for your money. You can offer a smaller PPC bid and still get listed on the first page. And, unlike a PPC affiliate program, you pay the top search engines for each click and you do not receive compensation in return.

Look for innovative and interesting Pay per click directories and pay per click affiliate programs to help maximize your PPC advertising budget and get the site traffic you want for your web site. When you look online, you will find sites like SearchOnlineDaily.com that have PPC programs that give money back to all of the ppc affiliates.

John Hayward asked:


Both pay-per-click and SEO are targeted to get your website placed as close to the top of search engine results as possible. One of the differences is that it takes minutes to set up a pay-per-click campaign versus months for a good SEO campaign.

Pay-Per-Click is a simple type of paid advertising that most search engines, including some of the largest ones, now offer. It requires a bid for a “per-click” basis, which translates to your company paying the bid amount every time the search engine directs a visitor to your site. There is the added bonus that when a per-click site sends your website traffic, your site often appears in the results of other prevalent search engines.

As with all marketing campaigns, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you understand the process and monitor your pay-per-click campaign frequently, it can be very effective. One of the greatest advantages is that you never have to tweak your web pages to change your position in search engine results, as you must do in a typical SEO campaign. What you do have to do in a pay-per-click campaign is pay a fee.

Another advantage is the simplicity of the pay-per-click process. You just bid and you’re up and running. It doesn’t demand any specific technical knowledge, though the more you know about search engines and keywords, the easier - and more effective - the process will be.

The downside is that pay-per-click is essentially a bidding war. A higher bid than yours will lower your position on search engine results. This means that you will have to raise your bid to regain your position - which can obviously become quite expensive, especially if you are bidding on a popular keyword.

In order to determine if pay-per-click is a cost effective form of marketing for your business, you must do some computing to figure out how much each visitor to your site is worth. You can compute this value by dividing the profit you make on your website over a given period of time by the total number of visitors for that same time period. For example, if your site made $5,000 in profits and there were 2,5000 hits, each visitor would be theoretically worth 50 cents. The basic formula is profits divided by visitors.

The figure of 50 cents per visitor is the point at which your business breaks even. The idea, of course, is to show a profit, not to merely cover your costs. Therefore, you are aiming at a figure less than 50 cents per click.

Be aware that the most popular keywords often cost considerably more than 50 cents a click. The only way around this is to bid less for these phrases or you will be paying too much for each individual hit.

The key (pun intended) to success is to learn everything you can about search engine keyword research. The good news is there isn’t a limit to the amount of keywords you can add to your bid because additional keywords do not add additional cost. This translates into a lot less hassle for you because there is no need to optimize your site to index a particular set of keywords.

Obviously, some keywords are much more effective than others are, but they will not cost you anything except time to set-up your account in your pay-per-click bid. Of the popular search engines that offer pay-per-click, one called Overture provides an online tool that will give you the data on how often particular keywords are entered into their search engine. They also offer suggestions for keywords after you enter a description of your site.

In pay-per-click, this written description is crucial. You must understand that the object of your description is not to generally attract visitors, but to be as specific as possible so that only those visitors who are likely to buy your service or product go to your site. You must use expert marketing copy to guarantee that your description is both precise and enticing to attract the most ideal candidates to your site. This description is your most powerful tool to insure that your bid is profitable.

Another essential element of pay-per-click advertising is that you constantly monitor your bid. It is very important that you bear in mind that the results of the top search engines providing pay-per-click advertising, which are Overture and Adwords Select, usually appear on other popular search engines. Because of this, the competition for top ranking is intense, and very often you will find that the bidding price balloons too high for pay-per-click to yield a profit.

If this happens, it is advisable to withdraw your bid on that particular keyword and try another one. Remember: when you pay too much per click to make a profit, you are in essence losing the bidding war.

Since losing is not acceptable, you must have a plan in place to closely track the effectiveness of your keyword. It is advisable to monitor your keywords on at least a monthly basis.

Not only is careful monitoring important, but the analysis of visitor behavior can produce invaluable knowledge about consumer motivation, habits, and trends. Expert monitoring and consumer analysis is essential to your overall business needs, and will also insure that your pay-per-click campaign is a success.

Thomas Pretty asked:


Anyone who is involved in online business will recognise the importance of increasing traffic to a website. More traffic means more visitors and hence an increased chance of making sales. The result is more trade and hence more profit. In general there are two methods in which to do this, one of these is organic search engine optimisation, the process of changing the make up of a website so that it ranks higher in search engines. The other method of increasing traffic is through pay per click advertising.

Pay per click advertising is extremely popular, in fact whenever we use the internet we are exposed to it. The majority of search engines support pay per click advertising, for those in the know these are usually the links on the results page that appear at the very top or along the right hand side. It is not just on search engine results pages however where pay per click advertising can appear. Adverts appear on thousands of high traffic sights all over the web.

Without search engines however it is doubtful that pay per click advertising would be as profitable, even perhaps in existence. Whenever you type something into a search engine, termed as a search query you are presented with a list of links that take you to relevant websites. Typically the top two or three and the links down the side of the page are pay per click adverts. Search engines such as Google offer anyone who wishes to utilise pay per click the chance to do so with Adwords and Adsense programmes.

In order to place a pay per click advert the first step is to find a suitable list of keywords that customers are likely to type into the search engines when searching for your products or services. These keywords are then submitted to search engines to be part of the pay per click advertising structure. In many cases no charge is required for placing the advert but instead a fee is paid each time the link is followed; as with many things in life, the clue is in the name. The fees applicable depend greatly upon the popularity of the search query. For instance, a term such as insurance is likely to cost much more for each click than say, wicker chairs.

Selecting the keywords for your pay per click campaign requires a great deal of consideration. Many may be inclined to advertise for queries such as Britney Spears or golf as these are excessively searched for every day, however remember that the point of PPC is to attract worthwhile traffic, if a visitor comes to your website expecting to see items pertaining to golf they are likely to be disappointed if they do not find them. The result is that you have wasted the money spent on the click. Above all the words you choose should be relevant to your business and the products or services you sell.

It is not just the keywords however. Designing the adverts is also an essential part of a pay per click campaign. As your link will be presented with many others it is important that they are written in a way that is enticing, if you create boring and uninteresting adverts it is unlikely that you will receive the desired levels of traffic. Keep the adverts short and punchy, by doing this more people will follow the link.

Hopefully this article has given a brief introduction to the process of pay per click advertising. It is no way intended to be an all encompassing reference point but instead an introductory guide to PPC. The ultimate objective has been to highlight the worth of this type of advertising and how it can reap benefits in terms of increased trade and higher levels of profitability.
