Does Pay per click scare the jeepers out of you?
Because pay-per-click ad campaigns are such a great source of targeted traffic, I've scheduled a series of posts over the upcoming weeks I think you'll enjoy. I plan to share what I consider the best tips for running a successful pay-per-click search engine campaign. I consider a 'successful' campaign one that generates destination page visitors that are likely to respond to your ad offer and visitors whose clicks don't cost you a fortune.
Unless you have very deep pockets, or you're completely nuts, or you have a solid money-making conversion rate, paying big bucks for clicks that don't pan out is busines seppuku .
What follows here and continuing for the next few weeks are my 'insider secrets' for setting up and managing a pay per click campaign that won't keep you awake at nights with worry.
Tips for your PPC campaign:
- Remember that with PPC campaigns, you are not sending search visitors to a site, you are sending them to a web page (called: a destination or landing page). You must discover keywords and set-up ONE page at a time.
- Remember that people search by typing in more than one word:
- The 7 most used word phrases in search engines according to OneStat.com:
- 2 word phrases 32.58%
- 3 word phrase 25.61%
- 1 word phrases 19.02%
- 4 word phrases 12.83%
- 5 word phrases 5.64%
- 6 word phrases 2.32%
- 7 word phrases 0.98%
- Start your "keyword discovery" process by visiting the destination page you intend to send your search engine visitors to. Put on the 'reading glasses' of a customer and look at your page through their eyes.
- Ask yourself this: "What keywords might a person type in a search box where when they arrived at this destination page, they'd say 'BINGO' this is what I was looking for?" Find these keywords and you've discovered your best keywords.
Remember that if you run any PPC search engine ad campaign over a few weeks and you get unsatisfactory sales or sign-up results, the problem is most likely NOT the traffic you're generating from your ad, rather it is your site, your landing page, your product, your service, your price or some factor other than your PPC visitor hits. The first thing I'd look at ( if things aren't going satisfactory) is your landing page. Fish just don't bite when the bait is no good.
