How To Run A Cost-Per-Click Campaign
Article Summary: Helpful hints for running a highly successful cost-per-click campaign
Search engines are the main way customers search for products they want, so it seems obvious to run a cost-per-click (cpc) campaign to advertise your business. It can be highly effective if done right, but get it wrong and it can cost lots of money for little return.
If you have a popular keyword product ie make money online, weight loss, holidays etc, you could end up spending lots of money for your cpc and still not get a good position in the search engines.
Before you even put your ad together, you need to decide what keywords would be most effective for getting your website to the top of the search engines. The more specific your keywords that you wish to bid for are, the cheaper they will be and the more successful they will be.
For example, the keyword 'printer cartridge' would be costly as many others are bidding for those very words. Unless you over bid, you will not get high enough up the page to be seen and if you do, you don't know if someone searching under this keyword is a customer or a browser. If you bid on very specific keywords, ie actual phrases that people enter into seach engines, then not only will the bid be much lower (no one else is bidding for such specific phrases) but your prospect is likely to much more targeted.
Although there may be fewer people typing in these very sentences, those that do are highly likely to buy. This makes it much more cost effective way to run a cpc campaign.
Once you have bid for the right keywords, make sure your 1 or 2 line ad is snappy and separates you from your competition in some way. Offer something that your competitors are not offering. This may be a reduction in price, a focus on quality not price, something for free or a unique product. Whatever you do offer, make sure it is appealing to the buyer you have in front of you.
It is so important to test all the ads you use. Testing is the real secret to success. Make very small changes to your ad and see if this makes any difference to your sales. Keep making these changes until you come up with the most effective ad overall. Testing AND recording are the most essential elements of marketing. If you don't write down what works, how will you know what works.
