Pay per click can be a super way to begin your Online Marketing campaign. However it is easy to get into a uncomfortable situation if you are new to the procedure or if you do not keep a close check on the statistics that will be offered by your pay per click provider.
The concept is simple, you task you provider, usually a search engine company, to display your advert in one of the non organic areas of the Search Engine Placement listings ie the search results. You tell them to only display the advert when chosen keywords or phrases are entered into the search by the searcher. The beauty of the deal is that there is no payment for that advert until a customer actually clicks on the advert to take them straight to your website. So in theory you are only being charged for customers who are in fact interested in your goods or services.
The first problem to be extremely careful about is which keywords or phrases you select. Too broad a choice of key words may give you hundreds of clicks (and therefore a large pay per click bill) but hardly any sales, as only a small amount of the searchers using those words and phrases were either interested in your exact product, or ready to buy straight away. The trick therefore is to be as precise as possible with your keywords. If you only producesell pens it would be far better to have all the customers keying in “pens for sale” see your advert than it would to have the much bigger group of searchers who would input just “pens” or even “stationery for sale”. With “pens” the searcher could be looking just for information on pens, when they were invented, different types, reviews etc. They may all click through to your site, costing you money but not with any intention of actually buying one! With “Stationery” of course you will get a large number of people searching for the word but only a percentage of them will be looking to purchase a pen. So the advert may be listed often but have a low “click through” rate.
Once you have determined the keyword facet of the pay per click you really do need to watch the whole campaign vigilantly. It is vital to know how much you are spending and what you are getting for your money. The search engine frequently asks you to place a daily limit on the amount you want to spend, this can be misleading as
