Pay Per Click Beginner's Guide.
Pay per click commonly refered to as PPC among the savy internet marketers. If you have been marketing online for any length of time you have probably seen PPC eat up your advertising dollars with little or no results.
You research and choose the keywords for pay per click, then burn through your daily budget in an hour with no sales. The myth that mega pay per click traffic produces mega profits is just that. A myth.
Traffic is great. Traffic improves your pay per click search engine ranking. It increases word of mouth advertising. Traffic gets you more traffic, but when you are pay per click you want sales.
You may remember the class action law suit against Google. A group of businesses sued Google claiming the company didn't do enough to prevent pay per click fraud so they lost money in their pay per click (PPC) campaigns.
In my less than humble opinion, pay per click fraud was not the culprit. For those who don't know, pay per click fraud is when someone who publishes Google Adsense ads clicks on ads on their own sight to make money with no intention of purchasing the product advertised by pay per click.
As I said, in my opinion pay per click fraud was not the culprit. It was badly chosen keyword phrases. Instructions on how to choose and bid on keyword phrases are available on the pay per click (PPC) sites so I won't go into the mechanics of bidding.
The important thing is, if you chose the most popular pay per click keyword your ad will show up in hundreds maybe even thousands of searches an hour. This means you will recieve hundreds maybe even thousands of clicks a day.
They will click on your ad without reading the whole thing and go "This isn't what I want." and hit the back button. Remember, it cost you money for them to click. It costs them nothing, so people aren't careful about pay per click advertising
Choose your phrase carefully. You want clicks from visitors who are looking to buy what you are selling. Target your of upholstery cleaning Bid on "porceliain hand painted piggy banks" if that is what you are selling. People who do broad searches are just looking. People who target their searches are looking to buy. So be careful with pay per click advertising.
Will you get less pay per click traffic? Yes. Will you make more sales? Maybe, depending on your product, how easy your site is to navigate, your prices, etc, etc...
The point is, with pay per click, looky loos cost you money. Save the most popular keywords for your free traffic sources. Target your pay per click so that only credit card in hand buyers click your ads.
