Would you like to bring targeted traffic to your website in
as little as 15 minutes? Then you should learn about
pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, especially if you are
starting to optimize your website for the search engines.
There are four advantages to pay-per-click advertising.
1. You only pay for the advertising that works...
... because you only pay for your ad when someone actually
clicks on it to visit your website.
2. You can get your website in the search results within
just a few minutes.
With search engine optimization, it can take several weeks
to get listed in the search engines, but with PPC, you can
literally jump to the front of the line.
3. You can be listed in prime advertising space...
...by simply outbidding the other advertisers. There's a
bit of science + art to this, but it's still a much more
simple process than trying to figure out the secret formula
to the organic (free) search engine rankings.
4. You can have a very small budget and still make
pay-per-click advertising work for your business.
In fact, my own ads are in the best positions on the first
pages for several of my targeted keywords, and I've only
spent about $50 to get there.
And it's not hard to do what I've done!
Just open a free account with Google Adwords, follow the
easy steps to setting up your own advertising campaign,
decide on a handful of keywords you want to bid on (the
words that people in your market are searching for online),
put in a few dollars as a daily budget, choose the amount
you're willing to pay-per-click, and then watch what
happens.
Some people are skittish to do a PPC campaign because they
are afraid that it will run away with their money. But you
can eliminate that fear because you have total control over
how much you spend. Once you reach whatever limit you've
decided upon for the day, your ads are no longer shown
until the next day, so you'll never spend any more money on
your PPC than you decide. You can also pause or delete your
campaign if you need to at anytime as well.
If you choose good keywords, write an effective ad, and
track your results, PPC advertising can be an excellent way
to drive targeted traffic to your website, which ultimately
will lead to more sales for you, in the form of new clients
and customers.
Just remember that PPCs should be just one part of your
overall marketing strategy. In fact, a balance of search
engine optimization as well as running a PPC campaign is
usually the most effective strategy for bringing your
website the most targeted traffic overall.
