The Benefits of Pay Per Click Advertising
Why use Pay Per Click advertising?
1: Pay Per Click Advertising is by far the most direct
marketing system ever invented. You actually get to place
your ad directly in front of a prospect that has searched on a
term related to your product or business. Your prospect is
proactively looking for what you have to offer. You cannot get a
more targeted form of advertising.
2: Market research has never been easier. You now have
the opportunity with Pay Per Click advertising to measure a
markets value quickly and cheaply simply by targeting a few ads
at this market. With a few targeted Pay Per Click advertising
campaigns you can now measure potential ROI across a whole
market within a few days for pennies rather than the months and
big bucks it used to demand.
3: Market to the planet or just your small hometown. With
the introduction of local targeting last year Google have opened
up a whole new opportunity for small businesses. If you offer a
service such as a garage or hairdressers etc. before now there
was little point in using Pay Per Click advertising. You can't
offer this service over the web. But now with local search you
can pinpoint a district for which you would like your ad to
appear. Your ad will then appear only to your most likely
prospects. At the other extreme if you offer a product that is
not reliant on physical location you can now get highly targeted
visitor from across the planet or country.
4: Get traffic to a new site fast. If you have a new site
you will struggle for a long time to get anywhere near a good
listing in the search engines. Pay Per Click advertising will
allow you to take your business straight to market the day your
website goes live. Saving you months in potential lost earnings.
5: Recent Pay Per Click innovations have seen Advertisers
given more control in where their Adwords Ad will appear.
You now have the option to advertise on specific sites. Even
more recently site owners now also have the option to place a
banner on their site advertising the opportunity to visitors to
advertise there.
6: Variety. Although Adwords is the leading Pay Per Click
advertising system it's
by far the only one. Yahoo have their
own system known as Yahoo Search Marketing, formally Overture.
MSN are about to bring their new system online, MSN adCenter.
Then there's Findwhat, LookSmart, Miva etc. Are your chosen
keywords to costly on Adwords? Try one of the other Pay Per
Click advertising networks.
7: Opportunity favours the quick and the prepared. Pay
Per Click and online advertising spending in general is set
rocket over the next few years as more and more businesses
become disillusioned with the results of their traditional
advertising avenues. By learning to utilize Pay Per Click
advertising properly now you can position yourself to take
advantage of future developments fast.
Pay Per Click Advertsing in Conclusion
As more businesses come online SEO competition is hotting up.
Google already implements a 'Sandbox' which will see new sites
get very little traffic for 8 to 12 months after going live. The
sandbox is a 'holding pen' for new sites. Google introduced the
sandbox as a means to monitor and control new site listings.
This was introduced as a defence against the rash of Spam sites
that where appearing across the Net.
This being the case don't expect a good ranking or any traffic
from Google for a long time after your new site goes live.
Some cynics will accuse Google of leveraging their position as
market leader in the Search Engine arena to force the owners of
new sites to join the Adwords program as the only option for
traffic from Google.
To be fair it has crossed my mind in the past but then I
remember the Spam results Google suddenly started serving back
in March 2004 and I'm thankful I don't see those anymore, thanks
in part to the Sandbox.
