Before we touch on any of the reasons as to why PPC Advertising is better for almost any kind of online marketing campaign than SEO, let us just say that SEO is not a complete waste of time. Our intention is not to bad mouth SEO.
SEO can be very effective, particularly when used in conjunction with PPC Advertising Campaigns, and this is not something that we are trying to refute entirely.
However, in our experience, PPC Advertising is better than SEO if you are looking for online marketing results and you want them fast. If speed and profit are the top two aims of your online marketing strategy, PPC is always going to be the best form of online advertising. SEO is always going to be running up behind.
Why?
Because SEO takes longer, you have less control over your audience, less control over who you compete with and less control over where your audience navigates to when they go to your site. With SEO you have to cover everything! You have to account for all possible events and this is, quite simply, a huge amount of work. Read the rest of this entry »

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. However, if you are hoping to generate links without having a real link building strategy in place, which you monitor and update accordingly, you are doing your site a substantial disservice.
What should be included in the average link building strategy?
The term “link building strategy” implies a great deal of information in the title alone. “Strategy” signifies that time, thought and real consideration has gone into the development of whatever matter might be at hand. Therefore in order to generate an effective link building strategy, a plan must be put in place. Read the rest of this entry »

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.
Therefore, it is abundantly clear that investing in long tail keywords is an effective step in the right direction for any pay per click advertiser. Long tail keywords should feature in every single pay per click management campaign in some way. The point of focus, however, is to work out how best to incorporate these keywords and how to manage them without letting your keyword lists and ad groups get way out of control.

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 »

It is essential to understand that keyword research for PPC is very different to the kind of research that is done to find new keywords in SEO. It is also vital to understand that the margin for error with keyword research in PPC is much less forgiving than the error margin for SEO.
This is why so many advertisers seek out the expert advice and management skills of PPC specialists when looking to better optimize their use and choice of keywords. If you take your time investigating into SEO keywords and you make continual changes to the keywords that you focus on, you do not run the risk of losing out financially.
On the contrary, PPC keyword research can be costly. You need to be very clear about the kind of keywords you invest in, how much money you invest in them and what you are hoping they will do for you in return.
Breaking down the differences between keywords research in PPC and keyword research in SEO for better online advertising success all round. Read the rest of this entry »
