Paid Search Engine Marketing & Advertising
Pay per click, as its name indicates, sounds like an advertiser’s dream come true. By using pay per click, also known as “PPC”, ads shown on search engine pages and on other websites, you only pay when a visitor clicks on your advertisement. And your ad only appears in response to certain keywords that you have selected. The major search engines offer pay-per-click advertising and typically have comprehensive online interfaces for setting up and starting your campaigns.
Because a “click” can cost as little as $0.05 and there is little or no upfront investment, pay per click is extraordinarily accessible. Yet PPC has its own set of rules, which need to be understood to get the right results. When we discuss PPC campaigns with our customers, we point out the subtle interplay between a number of different factors, such as:
Cost per click – On the face of it, the simple concept of how much it costs you when someone clicks on your ad. Yet cost per click can vary widely according to the keyword you have chosen and the way that your ad has been written.
Click through rate – The number of times people click on your ad, compared to the number of times it is displayed. A higher click through rate may be seen by a search engine as a sign of quality, in which case your cost per click goes down, as traffic to your site goes up.
Keyword matching – PPC systems are smart. You can choose to have your ad appear on exact matches of a keyword or also on similar matches. It’s a way of instantly broadening your appeal.
Ad wording – Small differences in wording can lead to sizable differences in click through rate and follow-on sales. As a consequence, you may also see your advertising costs decrease on a per click basis.
