Some Tips When Planning On A Pay Per Click Campaign

Below are some important things to consider when planning on a pay per click campaign:


1. Know your product. Take an inventory of the product or services that you have to offer.


2. Stay within the budget. Determine your daily or monthly budget and stay with it. This means keeping your budget in mind, avoiding bidding wars if possible.


3. Bid just right. Know how to bid right - a bid that is too high can exhaust all of your money, while a bid that is too low can make you lose that spot.


4. Watch the bottom line. Measure your profit margin against your spending or expenses. Know when to stop and terminate your PPC program - if you spend more on advertising but have little or no sales at all.


5. Find the right keywords. Do some keyword research, either by actually looking at existing search terms or with the use of online keyword suggestion tools, to know which terms are mostly used when searching for items that are related to your business. Focus on specific keywords, not on general ones.


6. Write effective ads. A good PPC ad is that which can persuade and move a searcher.

There are several approaches to this:

· Discount offers

· Testimonials

· Money-back guarantees

· Free trials or sample offers

· Freebies

· Reverse psychology

· Weight Loss

· Direct instructions ("Click here")


7. Maintain a professional-looking site. Your web content should be regularly updated and checked for spelling and grammatical errors. There should be no broken links or images. The website should be simple and easy for visitors to navigate and load. Include contact details to create a good impression among potential customers.


If you done properly, PPC advertising can be an effective marketing tool that will maximize the return on your investment.
