Pay Per Click Advertising

Filed under: Pay Per Click — admin @ 7:57 am

If you have a new website ppc advertising may be the way to go to get visitors to your site and hopefully convert them to paying customers. Pay per click advertising can start making you money right away if it is done right.

I think I made every mistake there is to make when I first started using ppc. It took me quite awhile to figure out what I was doing wrong. I had spent in excess of $500 and hadn’t made a single sale. I was at the point of throwing in the towel with ppc advertising. The only thing that stopped me was that I new it must be effective because day after day, and month after month the same paid ads displayed on google. I figured these people must be making money otherwise they still wouldn’t be using ppc.

I have since fixed the problems that I was having and did recoup everything that I had lost in advertising expenses.

When using ppc advertising be sure to do the following. I didn’t do any of them in the beginning. That’s why I didn’t convert any sales. Hopefully this will save you from making the same costly mistakes that I made.

  • Make sure that the main keyword you use is very targeted to your sites content and product.
  • Your product must be related to your content. It can’t be something like your content. It must be directly related to your content. This is extremely important.
  • Link your product to every page on your website. Don’t make your product hard to find or your visitor may never see it.
  • Place your main keyword in the first and second lines and in the body of your ppc ad at least on time.
  • Write multiple ads using a different keyword for each to test to see which one converts the best.
  • Target your visitors who are directly interested in your content and supply a product that is directly related to that content and your sales conversion will be a lot higher than you could ever imagine. Again, do not provide a product that is something like your content. Provide one that is directly related to your content. For example. If you were the owner of a juggling site, you wouldn’t want to be selling rubber balls. While rubber balls are something like juggling balls they are not juggling balls. You’ll make sales with juggling balls, you won’t with the rubber balls. Be very descriptive with your product. People will not buy if they are unsure of what it is that you sell or unsure of what your product does.

    You can make sales very quickly with ppc advertising if done right. You can lose money just as quickly if not quicker if done wrong.
