Another way of getting traffic is through Pay Per Click Campaigns (PPC). Which is the best site to do the PPC campaign with? I personally use Google, for obvious reasons, it is the biggest search engine

Pay Per Click allows your advertisement to appear when users search keywords related to your website. Your advertisement will appear on the right side of natural search results.

The cost of doing PPC is determined by you. You can set a limit to the amount you want to spend on advertising per day, e.g. $30/day.

It is easy to calculate your cost and potential returns when doing PPC. If you set a daily limit of $10 and each click you pay $0.10, potentially get $1800 per month if your website is able to convert traffic to sales at 3%.

This calculation is based on the assumption that your website manages to convert and each day you maximize the clicks you can get.

To score better results with your PPC advertisement, you need to take note of 5 points

Research your Keywords

When you do PPC, you need to consider the keywords you use. If you have done other forms of traffic generation and you are ranked high with a particular keyword, you probably want to use other keywords to establish your presence in the search engine.

There are some free tools you can use to determine what keyword to use. Google Keywords and Google Trends are 2 very good tools to determine which keyword is a better choice.

Writing a Good PPC Advertisement

- Headline

The headline is very important to capture readers’ attention and make them want to click on your advertisement. Make your advertisement stand out from your competitors.

- Offer

Keep the text of your advertisement focused to the purpose. If you are selling products, it will be good if you add details like the price, the more details the better. Use words like “you”, “your” instead of “we”. Add call to action words that gives people reason to click, “earn”, “enjoy”, “relax”, etc.

Plan your PPC campaign

Have a strategy on conducting your PPC campaign. What results you want to achieve, what is the time frame? How should you plan the cost per click to get into a better spot and what is your cost limit?

Think of the main purpose of your PPC campaign, stay focus to your goal. Think of how is the PPC going to enhance the results of your total marketing efforts.

Keep in mind the returns from your PPC, keep track of your cost and returns. Analyze the effectiveness of your advertisements.

Bid Within Your Budget

It is important to manage your advertising cost when you do PPC. if you don’t manage your costs and conversion, you may end up paying for than what you earn. Analyze your results to increase your advertisement’s effectiveness.

Step 1: The top position may not be the best

When you do PPC, you need to set your budget in a manner that will give you higher exposure and click through. If you set the limit too low for a very competitive keyword, your advertisement may not appear in as frequently of in the first few pages of the natural search results. Set a limit to ensure your ad gets seen on the first 2-3 pages of the natural search results in the first few position. You will probably get more sincere buyers if your ad appears in the 2-4 position.

Step 2: Use traffic statistics

You must know your crowd, understand their behavior so that you can use your time and efforts more effectively rather than blindly.

Step 3: Keyword Decision

For keywords that are not converting traffic or sales to you, do not hesitate to drop them. Use www.google.com/keywords to check the average searches. Or you can use www.google.com/trends to compare keywords. Since the number of words you can put into your PPC advertisement is very limited, you need to find the most effective keywords to use.

Step 4: Calculate

Manage your advertising expenditure, in general, keep your expenditure to below 10%, to get higher returns on effort.

Monitor Your PPC Campaign

It is important to constantly check your statistics to be informed about the costs incurred and the results generated to fine tune your advertisements and identify any underlying problems.

Review your campaigns regularly to increase your effectiveness of your campaigns while keeping costs to the minimum
