Eight PPC Marketing Pros And Cons

PPC is one of the most popular marketing forms in the internet market today. It involves the use of Key Words to directly translate traffic to your site. All you have to do is simply register the keywords that you are using for your site with a click provider and then they will appear in the form of an advertisement that potential customers to your site can click on.  Every time a person clicks on your link it will cost you a small fee.  There are many different aspects that you as a new web owner and new to PPC marketing should be made aware of.

1. Relevance is key in your PPC Marketing campaign. People will click on your keywords and expect upon arriving to your site whatever it may have been that you were advertising with the ad If you do not have a point to direct the customer too you will not have only disappointed the customer but also a dissatisfied customer. If they do not see what was offered in the link they will simply leave and you will be stuck with marketing dollars loss. Basically you pay for the customer clicking on the link but you will not get a profit in return.

2. When you are getting ready to use your KeyWords you should always check them with the search engines themselves. The keywords that get higher the results on the search are the ones that you should use in your marketing campaign.

3. You are also allowed to budget the number of paid clicks your site can receive in any given day. This is a big plus for the new web business owner. They can control the amount of money that they are willing to spend on advertising each day. This would be a good practice for them to get into until they get a better understanding on how PPC marketing works.

4. Most of the PPC providers available on the internet today usually require a balance in your account with them to manage your daily budget. Most of them require that account balance to be three times over the normal advertising budget for a day and still others require a minimum account balance at all times.

5. You have the ability to pause your PPC Marketing Campaign at any time.  If you are unable to monitor your account for a few days or even weeks then you will be able to pause your account and you will not have any advertising money spent during this pause.

6. Almost all of the PPC provider sites require that you adhere to a certain set of rules and regulations. Each of these rules and regulations are different for each provider. You need to be sure to read through these rules carefully and follow them constantly. This will save you a lot of time, frustration, and headache later due to being rejected by the provider for not originally following the rules.

7. You will need to constantly monitor the number of clicks that you receive on your site and where they are generating from.  You will want to continue bidding only on the keywords that are actually bringing the traffic to your site. You should delete the keywords that are not bringing the results that you are looking for.

8. The most important pro to the PPC Marketing Campaign is to have patients.  Almost all the PPC offer help and you should contact them before calling your PPC marketing campaign a complete failure. They can usually provide you with possible solutions to get better results on your site.

As you can see there are many different pros and cons to PPC marketing.  Learning what they are and how to work around the cons will be the key to your successful PPC marketing campaign.

Effective Internet Marketing Business Plan

Effective internet marketing begins with the business plan. One of the reasons that franchises are such a popular offline business model is that they present a plan for making hamburgers or tutoring kids. Having a plan is one of the most important things in business and a key component of effective internet marketing.

The first thing I want to ask you is whether you want to have an internet marketing business or an internet marketing hobby. There’s nothing wrong with making a couple hundred dollars a month doing something that is kind of fun. But it’s not a business. It’s a hobby. Effective internet marketing means treating it like a business.

The first step of your plan needs to be your long range strategic goals. How much do you want to be making? What are your resources to get there? Steven Covey made popular the saying “begin with the end in mind.” That means, look down the road 5 years or so and find out where you want to be. Then you can plot backwards what milestones you need to meet to get there.

Your plan should be divided into long term (5 year), mid term (1 year), quarterly, monthly, and daily objectives. This way, you stay on track.

Additionally, you need to develop systems for everything you do. If you plan to outsource your article writing, set up a system for everything from hiring your writers to how they deliver the content to you. If you systematize the plan, you will get better results. One person posted a question about why his writers never gave him titles to the articles. A responder asked him whether he had asked them to. If you have a system in place, when you bring on a new writer, he or she will know exactly what you expect of them.

Effective internet marketing also means developing a budget and sticking to it. Internet hobbyists buy every WSO or course on the market. They dabble in one thing, listen to an ecourse, buy a domain name they never use, etc. Someone who is marketing on a business developed budget will buy only the things he or she needs to move their business forward.

As you put together a real business plan for your internet marketing business, you will find that you are making a lot more money. It stops being something you are playing at on the evenings and weekends and starts to take shape as a “real” business. Pretty soon, you will find that you can leave your day job and make the online world your primary source of income. Many people have done this before you. More, though, have played at it, and said, “internet marketing doesn’t work.” Those are mostly people who didn’t have any real plan.

Do you want to have a hobby or a business? The answer to that will determine how successful you are. Always remember that effective internet marketing is a business and you need a plan.
