Search Engine Tips May Offer Deep Impact On Your Site Or Blog Traffic

| "If this doesn't make for a spectacular July the 4th, what does?" |
Why all the comet talk you ask? Well the truth is, I found this news story fascinating (as did thousands of other people would agree) and felt it was rather topical for this 4th of July holiday.
It just so happens that being "topical" and relating what you do with Unicity to news and current events is also (should I say it?) an out-of-this-world marketing strategy. Millions of people are on the net today, tomorrow, and at all times, seeking news or details about all sorts of current events. If you're writing about that event or news item, you can increase the odds that searchers will find you. If what you do (or what you market) is related in some way, then like a toad on a hot road, you'll see your results leap to much higher levels.
The increase level of visitors such a campaign can achieve by riding on the comet tail of current events and news stories can be as spectacular as one might imagine. The impact on your business can be equally stellar.
In my previous blog entry we started our series of PPC search engine tips that can help your campaign for better targeted earthbound visitors. So without further comet (or is it comment?), let's continue...
PPC Tips:
- Forget stupid characters. We are talking search engine listings (not eBay) so cool the clever punctuation it L@@KS stupid!!!!!!!! Don't make SOME words CAPITALIZED; it looks like you're shouting desperately for business. Respect the people who read your search engine listings.
- People are by nature often interested in things like 'saving money', 'making money', 'curing something', 'striking a deal', and getting anything of value that is 'free'... but be careful. The addition of such self-interest phrases in your ad copy may skew your clicks upwards while leaving your sales flat. If you're tempted to try such phrases... test, test, test... while keeping an eye on your bottom-line.
- Bluntness works: 'Refinance 4.5%', 'Viagra $39', 'No Interest VISA', etc
- These are the type words that appeal to searchers: more information, complimentary, love, youthful, safe, new, benefit, gain, money, happy, glad, proven, guarantee, resource, fast, results, discover, how you, how to, your, yours, you'll, healthy, natural, magic, secret, comfortable, save, proud, secure, solution.
Check back next week for the next in this series of PPC tips... Until next week, happy PPC campaigning...
