Archive for the 'Ppc Advertising' CategoryAuto Repair Advertising – What you Must Know to Win OnlinePPC auto repair advertising has become one of the most costly ways to get the word out online. The reason for this is because almost every shop with a website is bidding on the same keywords. Do you really see yourself spending up to $5.50 each time somebody clicks to your page? Most of the facility owners are hard pressed to find an edge in the massively over-saturated online market. But as luck would have it, there is a way to win… local focus. Google adwords has a nice little function where a shop owner is able to focus the keywords into a small geographic region. You can specify what states, cities, and metro areas you want to hit. You can also increase/decrease your budget and set parameters around how fast or how slow you want to spend cash. But the main focus to always keep in mind is that you’re not always better off spending money on the major traffic keywords. Another very important point is to not look like every other ad out there. Do a search, analyze the competition, and then do something more creative. Think about what the customer sees when he hits your site. Does it look like your phonebook ad? If so, you may wish to make some changes. Since you’re spending all this money anyway, you may want to construct a website that sets you apart from the competition. Offer useful information and a ‘user friendly’ reason for consumers to stick around and do business with you. Always remember: If you become an information resource for your customers, you will blow the doors off the competition. |

Archive for the 'Ppc Advertising' CategoryPay Per Click Advertising – a Comprehensive GuideSearch engine pay per click advertising has become one of the most popular advertising methods used in internet marketing, and once a person understands the potential of this kind of advertising it’s not difficult to figure out why. With pay per click advertising, instead of you going out and searching for customers; the customers actually go searching for you. In adition to that, customers that see your ad are specifically interested in what you have to offer. There’s more…you don’t pay for the ad until someone actually clicks on it. Sounds great! But as with most things in life it’s not that simple. Because of the above mentioned positives for pay per click advertising a whole bunch of people have jumped unto the bandwagon so to speak and so there is tremendous competition for the top ad placements. The question is; how can you squeeze out a sensible profit from pay per click advertising? Choose the right things to advertise. If you’re advertising something using a pay per click program it’s very important that you choose something that people are interested in actually paying for. And that is because pay per click (PPC) advertising costs you money. You don’t want to be paying the advertising company to advertise something that won’t bring you returns. Do some marketing research before hand to find out how much your product or service is in demand and if people will be willing to pay for it. Choose The Right Keywords Keywords should always be customer oriented. If you’re selling ipods for example, it might not be wise to use a keyword like “mp3 player”. Not only is that keyword not targeted enough in that it does not specify which mp3 player you are advertising but it is also not customer or buyer oriented. It would be wiser to use a keyword like “buy ipod”. An even better keyword would be “buy ipod now”. People who type in keywords like “buy ipod now” mean business; they are buyers and those are the type of people you want clicking on your ads. Of course you’ll need a keyword popularity tool to determine the best keywords based on what people are acutally searching for. I personally recommend wordtracker. Write A Good Ad Of course that goes without saying, you already know that you need to write a good ad. But the question is; what constitutes a good ad? Search engines don’t allow you much space for your ad, so you’ll have to use the small space given to the best of your ability. If you’re selling a product, mention the price in the ad. That way people can make a decision as to whether or not they are interested in your price before they click on your ad. If you don’t mention the price and someone clicks your ad then decides your product costs too much, you’ll lose money for that click. Always capitalize important words in your ad, this makes your ad stand out and people are subconsciously drawn to your ad as opposed to one written in only common letters. Make your ad seem different from the others, take a look at the other ads that your ad will be competing with and create an ad that will stand out as different. Spilt Testing Split testing is when you create a number of ads and run them either simultaneously or one after the other and then compare them. This will enable you to determine which ads are making the most money for you and so you’ll be able to improve your return on investment. Never stop split testing, this should be an ongoing endevour. Pay per click advertising can be costly and challenging if you approach it without sound guidance and a plan of action. But if you remain conscious of your customer base and offer them just what they want, you’ll be surprised at how rewarding this advertising method can be. In my experience, the number 1 secret is choosing the right keywords…once you’ve selected ’buyer-oriented’ (not popular) keywords for your ad, all you need to do is to observe and tweak your ad as you manage your campaign. And you’ll certainly profit. |
