The journey into paid search advertising or bidding on display networks can be a little frustrating to many new AdWords users. Beginners keen on making progress in their advertising should focus on several key areas in PPC campaign development.
 Below are four tips to help even the most inexperienced PPC advertisers optimize their accounts.
Optimize advertisement text
Though PPC campaigns on the Display Network can also include video and image advertisements, it is the accompanying text that contains the call to action. PPC advertisements should be crafted in a creative way that drives the user towards your website. The words used should be attractive to your ideal customers and unappealing to everyone else. Including prices or descriptive words such as “affordable or premium” can give your audience an idea of whether or not the product or service is suitable for them. This is a fine art, so start practicing your pitch. Read the rest of this entry »

While 2013 is considered the Year of the Snake by Chinese astrologers, for Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign managers advertising on the Google Display and Search Networks, it may as well be known as the Year of the Tablet.
 Last year 128 million of these devices were shipped, an increase of 78% since 2011. PPC campaign managers must engage these as well as mobile users in 2013 as they represent a large and promising slice of potential conversions.
Integration of devices
Google has recognized the importance of the tablet market as well as the similarities between tablets and desktop computers. In both cases, the display settings are quite comparable as website surfing on tablets offers the same look and feel as the desktop computer experience. The similarities also mean that people search the same way on both devices, often utilizing the same type and number of keywords. In the future the two will become one, with tablet bidding merging seamlessly into desktop campaigns. Read the rest of this entry »

Advertising on the Google Search Network through Google Adwords can help your business to generate traffic and conversions on your website while building brand power. Google uses an algorithm to determine the PageRank of your website which, among other factors, is determined by the quantity, quality and relevance of the links other websites make to yours.
 Recently Google announced that it would be streamlining activities it deemed as “unnatural links schemes”. Essentially, this is any behavior that manipulates links to your website or outgoing links from your site. It’s a broad definition but the company clarified by giving users a detailed list of these activities.
As expected, practices that were considered unfavorable included exchanging money, services or products for links, using excessive link exchanging or “link to me and I’ll link to you”, linking to spammers or unrelated websites to improve PageRank and utilizing automated programmes to create links to your website.
If these links are not removed, your company risks being banned from the Google Search Network and paid search with Google Adwords. Though removing these links can be a challenging process, it is a necessary one if you are to safeguard your PPC campaign. Read the rest of this entry »

Effective Pay Per Click branding campaigns should be supported by what marketers refer to as “link-building”. This is the dynamic process of driving traffic to your website via links from other website sources.
 You can create links in many ways. Popular methods include: contributing content to other websites operating in your industry, posting information on online forums and message boards and writing replies in the comment sections of blogs.
The higher the quality, quantity and relevance of links leading to your website, the higher your website’s PageRank or appearance in Google search results. A high PageRank will positively affect your Quality Score and since the success of your PPC branding campaign is in part tied to Quality Score, link-building is just as essential for the PPC manager as it is for the SEO specialist.

Do you have a link building strategy or do you simply send a few articles out to other websites every now and then and hope for the best?
Link building is one of the best and free ways of building up the strength and credibility of your website. It is also a great way of driving traffic to your site too.

Most experienced pay per click advertisers know that long tail keywords offer high conversion rates for less money and as such they help to generate a much healthier return on investment at the end of every month.
Experienced pay per click advertisers know this about long tail keywords because they understand that people searching for “cheap hostel accommodation Cusco Peru” has been doing a lot more research than someone who types in “hostel Peru” and is therefore more likely to convert.

What do online advertisers want more than anything? Lots of conversions. When we get conversions, we pat ourselves on the back and add them to the success pile so that we can keep count.
As our successful conversion number rises, we feel happier, but conversion analysis should really go a lot deeper than this if we are looking to find ways of making more people convert on a regular basis and turn our happiness into online marketing euphoria.
If we only ever measure the amount of successful conversions, we only ever get access to half of the data and this kind of analysis is seriously lacking in so many respects. Analyzing and having access to the amount of “almost conversions” that occur on your site is even more valuable in some ways than knowing how many people have actually converted.
Why?
If you know how many people almost converted, you can use this data to develop ways of remarketing and making those people follow through to full conversion the next time. Read the rest of this entry »
