How to Set Up a Successful PPC Campaign
By Kate Dallas on July 12, 2009
What is the best way to find out which tactics works best for you when it comes to increasing conversions? Do you know that Pay Per Click is exactly what you need, but it can be quite expensive if you dont know how to set it up correctly.
So how can you too take advantage of this great online marketing tool and avoid loosing money on learning process? If you would like to discover the most essential principles of PPC, just follow this article.
First of all, in order to set up a great PPC ad, you need to think of relevancy. Imagine, you are going to pay money for every single click on your ad. You definitely dont want people not to find what they were searching for.
Plenty of internet entrepreneurs make the mistake of picking general keyword combinations which will drive the greatest numbers to their sales page. This is a great way to go broke fast: paying for unqualified people to come to your website only to find that they are really not going to buy anything. Make sure that you pick specific keyword combinations that best describe your offer and you are sure to make more conversions.
The second principle is urgency. Lets face it: if someone wants to buy your product that does not necessarily mean that they want to buy it right now. So you may get them interested, but then they go to do their research somewhere else. By the time they come back, your ad is nowhere to be found. Either that or they find something else that is similar and has a more urgent offer. The ability to build urgency is the key difference between being a well paid salesperson and being an unpaid consultant. Find a way to create urgency and get your buyer to take action before they have a chance to change their mind.
The third principle of PPC advertising is testing. Testing is very often neglected, but it is not possible to improve something which cant be measured. So, when you set up your ad campaign, have some pages to rotate and determine which one has better results. Try to test only one variable at a time, like only headlines, or only headings, otherwise it will be hard to see which one really make the difference.
As you set up pay per click ad campaigns, it is important to treat them the same way that you treat all marketing campaigns: as an ongoing process instead of a project. Great marketers are always testing and adapting to the behavior of the public. They understand that no matter how many great ideas you have, the customers are the ones to decide what is working and what is not.
Apply these principles when setting up your own Pay Per Click advertisements and soon you will be able to witness how profitable and forceful they can be.
