Online store not selling so well? Just slap together a pay-per-click campaign and you’ll be sure to sell out in no time!

Not getting as many online leads as you would like? PPC can fix that too!

Clients skipping out on their bill? PPC can fix ANYTHING!

At least, these are the sentiments that seem to be floating around the virtual water cooler. PPC marketing is often approached as a magic wand that can make all of your marketing woes disappear with a flick of the wrist and a theatrical “poof” of smoke.

Wouldn’t that be great? No wonder people like to believe that all-too-tempting idea!

I’ve seen instances where pay-per-click campaigns really do seem to work magic for clients, but in every case these clients were willing to work at it. They were willing to build a really great PPC campaign and support it with other efforts.

And trust me, it was hard work.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for PPC! In the end Pay Per Click is just another piece of the marketing puzzle, and when you hope against hope that a lone PPC campaign will prop up a failing business or product then it’s bound to come crashing down like a flimsy house of cards.

So what steps can you take to make sure that your Pay Per Click campaign has the best chances for success?

#1. The first step is to know what is going on with your marketing efforts, offline and online. When I say “know what is going on”, I mean having solid, factual data on what is going on behind the scenes – proof about what works and what doesn’t.

For this, you need a web analytics package. There are a lot of solutions available in every price range. Of course, Google Analytics is a popular choice considering that it is free (always a great selling point!), easy to use, and powerful.

I work for ROI Revolution, which offers a pretty neat free 60-minute informational web on Google Analytics if it just so happens you are interested in exploring that web analytics solution.

Once you have web analytics up and running you will be gathering important information on what is going on with your marketing efforts. When you know what is going on, you’re in control!

#2. The next step is to work like a dog and try everything your mind can feverishly conceive to get your marketing to work better. Doesn’t sound like a day at the beach, does it?

Maybe not, but in the end it really pays off! When you use your Pay Per Click campaign with your web analytics to test, test, test different variables, options, and price points you will find things that you can prove work better than others. That’s extremely satisfying, and it’s the best way to claw your way to the top.

Thomas Jefferson said “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” With a little “luck” maybe you can turn that Pay Per Click campaign into a magic wand, after all.

Pay Per Click Keyword Discovery

2005-11-20T23:34:00.000-08:00

Keyword research is the "meat and potatos" of the PPC world. You have to find keywords that are relevent to your product, but are not so competitive that you can't afford them. This requires a little creative muscle. There are several tools out there that help in this process.

The number one greatest tool is the famous Wordtracker which pulls from various actually searches on the web and has such nice features as a related keyword function, a popularity database, and misspellings. They offer a free trial so you can judge for yourself.

Google Adwords offers their keyword suggestions tool. This is an excellent first stop. Of particular note is their Similar Keywords section. This gives you a hint on what Google considers related to a main search, and is useful for using the "broad" match feature in AdWords.

Following this are two excellent tools from Overture - the search term suggestion tool and the current bid tool - both of which are essential tools in a webmaster's toolbox.

All these keyword tools can be addicting, and there are many out there. An excellent page to find more good links is from the Open Directory Project. There is enough on that one page alone to keep anyone busy for several days.

Pay Per Click advertising

2005-09-15T22:38:00.000-07:00

Quite like search engine optimization, PPC advertising is a lot about getting the basics right. If you have solid foundations, your campaigns will invariably be a success. Let's go through the core elements of any PPC campaign.

PPC advertising allows you to bring traffic to your website in just minutes .
PPC pays for itself AND your other SEM expenses (like link-building) while leaving you a decent profit margin .

Keyword Research

When compiling your keyword list, consider using a professional tool such as WordTracker or NicheBot instead of coming up with all the keywords yourself. Why? Because quite frankly, no one has the time to manually compile a list of several hundred keywords. Also, these tools will tell you exactly what people are searching for AND give you a lot more options that you may never have even thought of. Using either WordTracker or NicheBot, you can easily compile a keyword list of even a thousand keywords in under an hour.Another tool that I highly recommend is a program called Keyword Locator. You can have a look at that program below. It does a heck of a lot more than WordTracker and Nichebot.Once you have your keyword list ready, break it down into sub-lists. Essentially, instead of lumping together all the keywords, you can use the main keywords as “headers” build your list around them. These headers will be the keywords receiving the most traffic. To give you an example, take an online soccer store. Possible headers would include adsense pay rate , Google AdSense , adsense pay per click text ads, pay per click, Yahoo AdSense, pay per click advertising and even overture pay per click. All these terms have hundreds of related keywords .

What's the advantage of creating sub-lists? For one, it helps you focus your campaign even further – you can send visitors clicking on your “Google AdSense” ads to an internal page on your store that is dedicated to Google AdSense, and so on. Second, your campaign becomes more manageable – if one theme of keywords is not working well, you can improve it without affecting the rest of the lists.

However, the most important reason to using sub-lists is that you can create ads that are customized towards your header keywords. An ad for overture pay per click will not be as effective as an ad for pay per click if they both appeared next to search results for the term Yahoo AdSense. Customized ads will give you higher click-through rates , and a high ad CTR can help lower overall costs .

Ad Copy

Your ad copy will make or break your pay per click campaign, so it is important to get it just right. There are two sections of your ad, the title (or the heading), and the ad description . Apart from adhering to the basics (place your sub-list “header” once in the title, and once in the description), there is a lot to learn about writing winning ad copy. Think of PPC ads as intensely summarized version of a regular sales letter – approach ad copy with that view will help you write better.

The ad copy has two key components – a riveting title/header, and a compelling description. Taking Google's example, you have space to write 25 characters in the title, and two lines of 35 characters each in the description. Eventually, writing winning ad copy boils down to convincing the skeptical searcher into clicking on your ad (amongst several others) in a maximum of 95 characters.

Put each ad that you write through a stricter test than you would put your sales letter. The title is the key to attracting the searcher's attention – if it contains the keywords that are being searched for, the keywords will show up in bold and help make the ad more visible. The description, on the other hand, has just two short lines to convince the searcher to click on the ad. Focus on the user and the benefits your website / product will provide. If it helps, you can make a bulleted list of key terms that highlight your business and spread them throughout your ads.

Use the title to grab the searcher's attention , and then reel them in with your ad description. If you follow the principles you have used to write your sales letter, you'd be at an advantage compared to most of your competition.

Ad Optimization

Setting up the ad campaign is, believe it or not, the easy part. Managing it is tricky (though your work is reduced if you get the basics right). There are two main challenges facing a PPC campaign:

You don't know how well your ads will work
You don't know which keywords will convert into sales

The result is that managing a PPC campaign is a continuing process of tweaking your ads based on results – it ultimately involves regular improvements in your ad copy, to keyword lists and maybe even in your website.

The main aim of managing a PPC campaign is to constantly try to increase your CTR . While the quick and dirty way to do this is to pay high enough to rank on the top of the ads list, this can easily break your budget. A better option is to regularly review your ads, weed out the ones that don't work and improve on the ones that do work. Like sales letters, this involves reusing the working elements (titles and descriptions) and modifying them slightly to test if the CTR improves.

Who Benefits Most From Google AdSense?

2005-09-15T22:27:00.000-07:00

Here are 10 types of websites -- with who benefits most -- from Google's AdSense program:

Google AdSense is a fast and easy way to generate revenue from your website. However, not all websites and website owners benefit equally from this program.

Here is a list of 10 types of websites that can benefit most from Google AdSense:

Great information sites with lots of content -- whether or not they have started generating revenue.
Narrow niche sites that haven't yet started generating revenue.
Sites that provide great information about high paying keywords.
People who have a passion for a topic but have not yet created a website on that topic because they didn't know how to earn money from it.
Sites that currently use banner exchange programs and want to start generating some revenue instead.
Sites that currently offer banner advertising and want to increase revenue.
Sites too small to attract advertisers (or those who don't want to go through the time and effort to find relevant affiliate programs).
Sites with affiliate programs that aren't generating any or enough revenue.
High traffic sites that contain sections or pages that aren't currently generating revenue.
Website publishers with extra advertising inventory.

In other words, AdSense allows publishers and web designers to focus on what they are interested in and do best -- producing the content of their sites -- without having to worry about finding advertisers or affiliate programs to make their sites profitable.

Who Benefits Most: Sites That Will Not Benefit From Google AdSense

Here is a list of some of the types of websites that won't benefit from AdSense (or won't be accepted to the AdSense Program):

Sites about drugs and drug paraphernalia
Pornography sites
Gambling or casino-related content sites
Sites with hacking or cracking content
Personal pages
Sites under construction
Sites containing excessive profanity
Sites with broken links
Sites promoting hate, violence, racial intolerance, or advocating against any individual, group, or organization
Sites offering any incentives whatsoever for users to click on the ads
Sites that are difficult to navigate
Sites with "excessive advertising"
Other content-targeted or text-based ads on the pages that display AdWords ads
Sites containing pop-ups that interfere with the navigation of the site
Sites that get no traffic.

With the exception of the last item, sites that get no traffic, all of the other types of sites on this list will not be accepted to the AdSense program.

Subcontract Affiliate Work with Pay-Per-Click Programs

2005-09-10T20:20:00.000-07:00

Do you feel like it takes too much work to earn a decent buck from affiliate programs? Well here's an idea work trying... subcontract the clicks in pay-per-click affiliate programs.

For example, you join a pay-per-click program that provides ten cents for every click to a Web site that sells baseball cards. Sure, you could create a great page to entice people into clicking through to that site, or you could buy those clicks from GoTo.com for as little as one cent per click.

Just join up with some pay-per-click programs that have a defined demographic and apply for tons of relevant terms on GoTo. If you haven't used GoTo, there's a great tool on the site that breaks down the number of searches for any term (and related terms) to help you pick the keywords with the highest traffic.

Go to http://www.goto.com/d/about/advertisers/othertools.jhtml and click on "Search Term Suggestion List." Then enter relevant keywords. When I tried "baseball cards", I found out that nearly 3,700 people searched for "baseball cards" on GoTo last month, nearly 700 looked up "baseball price," etc.

In all, there were nearly 100 words related to "baseball cards" that had been searched last month. Buy every one of those for a penny and you're making money on every click. If nobody clicks, you pay nothing.

Sure, you're not going to get rich doing this, but you're certainly going to bring in more cash money that you would by just posting the links. It just makes cents.

One last thing... make sure that you are not violating the operating agreement of the affiliate programs before you go ahead and subcontract the work!

Online Marketing: The Rules Change Again at the Search Engines

2005-09-10T20:18:00.000-07:00

I have been telling people for some time about the “the secret of the search engines,” which is, if you pay-per-click for a search, you don’t appear in the “organic,” or free results under the same search. This is because those who create the programming for search engines began to realize that people wouldn’t want to pay if they landed on the first page of the same search organically.

Three months ago, we let the “cat out of the bag” and wrote about it.

Now, I am happy to announce that at least one of major search engines has discontinued that practice. You can now be in the sponsored results and the free, first-page results with the same site on Google.

It’s important to understand that these two spaces—the sponsored results and the free results—are two completely different markets.

Here are some points to consider when thinking about the sponsored results area:

- As a rule, do you click sponsored links or the free results more often?

- If you don’t click sponsored links or pop-up banners, who does?

- Are they customers, salespeople, “Internet surfers” or potential prospects about to buy?

- How can I control who searches my site by the search words I choose to be found under?

Here are some more little known facts about search engines:

Overture, Google, and others will stress the value of very large, very broad, four-word searches (for instance: city, state, real estate) because they are searched for more than others.

This is a good strategy for pay-per-click models, because broad searches don’t bring up very many relevant results on the first page organic results. For example, the Florida filter assures that with Google, so that the surfer must either refine the search by adding words, or resort to the sponsored links that are not their first choice.

But consider that many of us, even when we start with a broad search that doesn’t yield what we want, will add words, until we find what we are looking for.

While a very specific search, for instance: “luxury homes, San Ramon, California,” will get less hits, those searching under those words are more likely pre-qualified buyers, not salespeople or “spammers.”

People have a tendency to simplify these issues to streamline the selling process, but a full understanding is necessary for actual success online. If you resist the idea of paying for that advice, you may consider the profits you may be missing with your current system.

Traffic is the key to genrate $

2005-09-10T03:37:00.000-07:00

Here some Strategy for Genrating :---

- identifying the most frequent keywords with tools such as the digitalpoint keyword suggestion tool. I generally choose a combination of two or more words, because it is much easier to achieve one of the 1st Google results for "Paris Hilton" rather than for "Paris" or "Hilton".

- check how much those keywords pay (with overture's tool or, better, with a google adwords campaign ). For example Paris Hilton is not interesting (at least in France).

- Choose the best compromise between traffic, keyword price and difficulty of achieving a high position in Serp (this can be assessed with SEomoz.org's tool) and build pages accordingly.

95 % of my trafic come from search engines. I don't know if my strategy can apply abroad and especially in America. I live in France, where there are very few SEOs. The people in charge of the websites in France are 95 % programmers. They know how to type a line of code, but they are not familiar with e-marketing and most big websites are not at all SE-friendly. Thus the competition is not that hard.

From 5 to 300 usd adsense revenue per day in two months

2005-09-10T03:33:00.000-07:00

Here are few advices for adsense newbies (I am not anymore one, but either an expert), that allowed me to climb from about * 5 usd per day to about 300 in two months.

I started the 29th of june this year, and my goal was just to try. The first day, I got 5 usd. Then I put adsense on all my pages and it climbed to 14 usd. After that I bought one of those adsense courses for 29 usd.

I learned there almost everything I know about it, especially that:

- the 468*60 format is not as effective as the square box (250*250).
- the ads should be inside the page rather than in the upper part.
-the colors of the ads should be similar to the colors of the website
- one ad box with only 3 ads is preferable to 3 ad boxes with 4 ads, because only the best paying ads are displayed.
- it is profitable to create pages targeting high-paying keywords (finance-related, seo, etc.)
- the link ad unit is effective (almost half of my revenues)
- it is effective to monitor the performances of the pages and transfer traffic through serp and website structure to the most profitable
- a google search box can be added (just 1% of my revenues, but it is an additionnal service to your website).

That gives, for example a page such as: http://www.centreurope.org/france/cr...ing-france.htm

There is just one thing I have read in the adsense course and that I would not advise. They write that if you create a page with very little content, the probability of receiving clicks is high. It is true. But it also increases the risk of having your adsense account closed.

I have noticed that the revenues are increasing almost proportionnally with the traffic (especially when your website deals with many different topics, countries, etc.), so now I am working at generating more traffic in order to be granted a premium google adsense account. And to reach the 4-digit revenue a day I also try to give more content to my visitors with mostly commercial services, which reduces the probability of seing my adsense account closed and lower the importance of adsense in my total ad revenues (in French, we say it is not good having all our eggs in the same basket).

This is all I know of Adsense. I sincerely hope that it will serve members of this forum as profitably as it has served me these last 2 months.

* I write "about" because I do not want to give the exact figures, as it is explicitely prohibited by Google.

Online advertisers turning to pay-per-call

2005-09-09T03:18:00.000-07:00

DALLAS -- Personal-injury lawyer Frank Frasier wants the world to know about his business but didn't think much of the search-based Internet advertising that's all the rage these days. Potential clients wouldn't learn much about him through it, he figured, and he really can't tell if they have a case without speaking with them directly.

But Frasier's opinion of Internet search advertising changed recently with the recent arrival of pay-per-call. This technique prompts Web surfers looking for lawyers in his hometown of Tulsa, Okla., to pick up the phone instead of clicking an ad or sending e-mail.

"We've gotten about a dozen calls and half turned into cases," Frasier said. "I'm a believer. It fits my needs."

Pay-per-call could be especially powerful for local businesses that have ignored the Internet, including those that don't even have a Web site, its advocates say.

Most search advertising now takes a pay-per-click approach.

Search engines such as Google Inc. auction the right to have a company's ad display alongside regular search results when a computer user types certain keywords, such as "Tulsa lawyers." Advertisers pay each time someone clicks on the ad link.

In pay-per-call, keywords also are auctioned. But instead of a link to click, the ad directs the user to the telephone. In one version, the user calls a special number that is forwarded to the advertiser's regular phone. In another, users type in their phone numbers and get a return call from the merchant. Either way, the advertiser is billed for the referral.

America Online Inc. and smaller Web portals have partnered with a pay-per-call pioneer called Ingenio Inc., whose investors include eBay Inc. and Microsoft Corp. MORE .....

Thomson follows Miva and Yahoo! to launch pay-per-call service

2005-09-09T03:15:00.000-07:00

LONDON - Thomson Directories is the latest company to join the pay-per-call market, putting it in competition with rivals Miva, formerly FindWhat/Espotting, and Yahoo!.

Thomson Directories is planning to introduce a pay-per-call service for SME advertisers in the UK by the start of 2006, while Miva revealed that its pay-per-call model will launch in the UK on September 13. Yahoo! UK & Ireland launched a similar service in August.

Jill Pringle, internet product manager for Thomson Directories, commented: "We see pay-per-call as a natural fit with our SME advertiser offer."

The model, which Miva chief marketing officer Seb Bishop says "has the potential to be bigger than pay-per-click", allows search advertisers to pay for phone calls rather than clickthroughs.

Miva's system will let advertisers bid on keywords to have their phone number listed alongside standard paid-for search results. They are then charged for each call they receive.

Yahoo!'s model charges search advertisers a fixed rate for calls. Both take users through to a landing page with more details of the advertiser and links to their web sites where they have one.
