An Introduction To Pay Per Click Advertising For Internet Marketers

So you want to increase your PPC earnings by 100%? Do you believe it is possible? Your mindset about this will go a long way towards making this statement a reality.

In most forms of advertising, the highly successful ads first grab the viewer’s or reader’s attention, however they can. Consider the old auto parts ads with the pin-up models. They worked. The advertising funnel begins with general readership, is selected by gaining the attention of some, and then further refined to those interested in the product being offered. This strategy also works on the internet, but only so long as the advertising is paid for on a CPM - cost-per-thousand-impressions - basis. If you pay for impressions, you want to grab attention first, and then sell your product.

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) is a game-changer. If you use the old strategy of attracting attention first, and then selling your product, you end up paying for the clicks of the voyeurs, those viewers who are curious about your ad, but either don’t understand your product yet, or perhaps already know that they don’t want to buy it.

PPC ads cost nothing to the advertiser unless they are clicked, meaning that the advertiser is assured of a visit to their site, if not an actual sale every time that they end up paying for their advertising. Compare this with print or television advertising, where the advertiser has far less control over whether their ads are viewed at all, let alone generating the sort of interest represented by a website visit.

When you are paying for your advertising on a PPC basis, provide as much detail about your product and your offer in your ad as you possibly can. If you can’t fully describe your product and your offer in 95 characters, consider running an image ad, but one that is rich in text. Another game-changing aspect of PPC advertising is that you don’t pay much more for big ads than for tiny ones. An ad as large as 336×280 pixels costs somewhere between the same and three times as much as a 95 character text ad on a PPC basis. If you need more space to describe your product in enough detail to avoid curiosity click-throughs, go for an image ad.

If someone isn’t going to buy your product, you want to discourage them from clicking. Don’t worry that having a low CTR will hugely inflate the price you are charged for your ads. Within limits, this is a vastly over hyped fear. With PPC, low-key highly descriptive ads are the real winners.

One of the biggest advantages of using PPC advertising is that you can easily monitor and track their results and fine tune your campaigns on the fly; something which is impossible to do with traditional media formats.
