Start 2011 with effective Internet marketing by using pay per clic and boost your sales.
If you want to boost your sales fast in January, Pay-per-click (PPC) is a method of search engine marketing that allows businesses to reach consumers when they are actively searching for products and services. It can be launched very fast and it can be stopped anytime. The ultimate goal of PPC is to funnel qualified buyers to your website or customer landing pages instead of your competitor’s at critical moments in the buying cycle.
How does it work? When someone searches for keywords specific to your business, your site will appear in relevant positions in the paid sponsor section of the search engine. This means that visitors searching for your products or service can easily find your business, resulting in an increase intargeted traffic to your site and a “magic moment” where the buyer meets the seller.
PPC is only cost effective if you do it right
In comparison to other marketing methods, pay-per-click can be a very cost effective marketing technique to build volume to your site, provided you are doing it right.
Anyone can buy keywords and drive large volumes of traffic to your site but if that traffic leaves as soon as they get there because your offering isn’t relevant to what they are looking for, then you’ll end up wasting a lot of money (remember you pay per each click). The key is to know exactly what keywords your target audiences are using to search for services like yours and then purchase those keywords. Using the correct keywords can be used to create a targeted paid search marketing campaign for your business. This involves setting up, managing and monitoring the results of all your pay-per-click activities.
Make it easy for people to do business with you
A sure-fire way to sabotage the success of your PPC campaign is by sending visitors who click on your ad to a generic page like your website homepage. Consistent communication and a Digital Media Plan is the key to a campaign’s success. When you target your online ads to a specific offer and users click on that ad, they expect to land on a page that communicates details related to the ad they clicked on. Their goal is to learn more about your services and decide whether or not to do business with you. But when you link your PPC ad to a generic homepage, visitors become unclear about your offer and are likely to click away – costing you money.
Create a seamless experience for your visitors by eliminating all elements of confusion. Rather than linking your PPC ad to a homepage, consider designing a landing page that is in sync with the message and theme of your PPC ad. This way, the experience for users will be seamless, increasing their likelihood of doing business with you.
