PPC - Pay Per Click Advertising

Smarter advertisers prefer to target how they spend their money. In the past most advertising was done using a broadcasting model. Mass amounts of newspaper advertising, magazines, radio and television were used in the hope that enough exposure would result in the right person finally hearing or seeing your ad. And given the complex nature of modern culture, finding the demographic that is a good fit for your business is more challenging than ever. Social Networks

What demographic were you trying to find?

The internet is changing how search is done from broadcasting to “narrow casting.’

In other words, your chances of getting your message in front of the person who is ready to see it have increased dramatically.

Still, unless you are offering a one-of-a-kind item, there will be plenty of competition for your customers’ attention. Therefore, it may take thousands of image displays before the right customer clicks on your ad. As long as you don’t pay anything for those exposures then that kind of advertising is effective. That’s what PPC, pay-per-click, does. It enables you to only pay for the ad when someone actually uses clicks on it and successfully lands on your page.

PPC is easily measurable, offers immediate results and can provide reports about the connection between the keywords, the ad copy, the route your customer took to find you and where they ultimately landed. You can even go so far as to track conversion rates for on-line sales.

How NOT to use Pay-per-click

The success of any PPC campaign is based on the selection of the appropriate keywords for the customers you want to attract. You also need to place your ads in a context you trust. Unfortunately, there are groups that offer lots of “traffic.” However, traffic can be generated with a couple of computers and a sweatshop that’s getting paid for each ad they click and that’s not what you want.

Do not place your campaign in a setting where you can not speak with the company representative, or where you are promised large volumes of traffic the next day.
