What
is Pay Per Click?
Pay Per Click is an advertising model used by many search engines and advertising networks where…as the name implies, you are charged for every click your advertisement generates. The process starts by bidding on keywords that will trigger your ad to be displayed to the user. Once the keyword is searched, your ad will appear along with any other competitors targeting that same keyword. If your ad is clicked, you are then charged for that click and the visitor is sent to your landing page or destination. |
If you use Google, Yahoo or MSN…odds are you have seen the sponsored or pay per click ads within their search results pages.

The
purpose of this process is quite simply to identify what appears
to be working. Now we say “appears” because we can only
do our research to a certain extent…we can identify potentially
profitable ads and campaigns of your competitors but the only way
to be 100% certain of the profitability of an ad or PPC campaign
is...to run one. However, this process of identifying the potentially profitable ads provides great insight into the overall development of the campaign. Once the research process is complete…we then begin crafting ads that attract buyers to your offer. |
| The
goal in writing pay per click ads is to zero in on searchers that
are most likely to purchase your product or service.
You want to eliminate as many information seekers as possible…a click from an untargeted visitor costs the same as a highly qualified, targeted visitor! Although this is done mainly through the keywords targeted, ads are also created with negative qualifiers to try to eliminate any unqualified visitors that may view your ad as well. When researching and crafting ads, we also do our best to determine the type of wording or the approach that is accepted by your target audience. In some markets, Shock style or Informative ads deliver the best results, however in other markets these approaches may be completely opposite. Once the ad writing is complete it is now time to go live with your pay per click campaigns. Developing keyword lists and ads is not where the campaign ends…once your campaigns are live…testing and tracking must be implemented to determine what is performing and what is not. Pay Per Click…to be effective as possible should be constantly tracked, tested and refined. The goal of Tracking and Testing is to locate your most profitable keywords and ads…then once they have been identified to expand upon them. But, at the same time continue to refine them. Simply put, do as much as possible of what works! This can be achieved by adding in related keywords, expanding to other major search engines and / or 2nd Tier Search engines, Placement Targeting, and other methods of traffic generation. The
