Pay per Click - A Marketing Revolution

 

The most important Pay per Click Secret - that even Google does not want you to know

The unspoken truth about Pay per Click, that only a handful of business owners and PPC specialists realise, is that the system massively rewards those smart enough to master the advanced PPC strategies - and drains money out of the mass of PPC Advertisers who have no idea how much more successful their campaigns could be.

It's very important to understand that even when done badly, Pay per Click tends to be profitable. This may appear to be a good thing, but it means that many businesses do OK with it when they should be doing brilliantly and spend far too much getting their website visitors.

There has never been a marketing system where a series of small changes, costing nothing but your time, can improve your response rate - and therefore your profits - often by 50, 100, 200% or more.

My Goal for You: If you are currently involved in Pay per Click, you should aim to be able to double your number of website visitors while reducing the amount you pay for each click by 20-50% plus. In addition, you should aim to at least double the number of people visiting your site who take action.

If you are new to Pay per Click, the secret is to get good at this BEFORE you start advertising. It will save you a fortune.


Be Careful who you Listen to


 

Seven Pay Per Click Essentials to Maximise your Profits
 

1 Pay per Click - What is it

Pay per Click Advertising can best be described as paying to get to the top, or near the top of the search engines. Technically, your listing is supposed to be an advertisement - but it's designed to look similar to the other listings. On Google, the top placed ads run along the top of the page, the rest down the side. Here's an example of the page when you do a search for 'plasma tv'


You do not pay for your ad to appear. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad - hence 'pay per click'

3 Keyword Selection

One of the first big areas where people fail to maximise the potential of Pay per Click is with their use of keywords. If you don't get this right, everything else will be on 'go slow.'

Note for PPC Beginners
Your 'keywords' refer to the words that, when people search for them and they get a page of results - your ad will appear on that page of results. In the example below, a company selling accounting software might choose 'accounting software' or 'finance software' as its keywords. So we're entering your customers' minds and working out what they might be searching for when they go looking for your type of product or service.
 

In the market place that relates to your business, there are almost certainly going to be two or three (sometimes more) very obvious keywords. For example, if you sell mortgages, the big keyword is obviously 'mortgage.' 

These obvious keywords will be the most competitive and therefore the most expensive. The average pay per click advertiser gets into a battle for these top keywords. They pay huge amounts per click, their budget quickly runs out, they often don't get good results and quickly give up.

What most PPC advertisers do not realise is that there are dozens, often hundreds of related keywords that are much, much cheaper and that your competition are far less likely to be bidding on. Here's an example:

Suppose you sell Accounting Software. What's the obvious keyword to advertise for? 'Accounting Software of course. It's the most popular, the most competitive and the most expensive. But here's a list of searches relating to the phrase 'Accounting Software' done last month:

If you were advertising in this category, an essential element of your PPC campaign would be to advertise using as many of these keywords that are relevant as possible.

 

4 Testing - conversions
Part of the magic of Pay Per Click and most good Internet Marketing is that it lets you test and measure what is working, very quickly. Google provides an excellent conversion counter which you should be using to track sales and conversions.

Points 5 and 6 - VERY IMPORTANT - What you end up paying and your position on the page are not just determined by how much you are willing to pay.

5 The importance of Click through rate and 'Quality Score'

PPC on Google is not a straightforward auction. How much you are willing to pay for each click is only part of what determines how high up your ad is going to appear. The other key factor is your Click through Rate (CTR) Your Click through Rate is the percentage of people who see a page with your ad on, who click on your ad.  Google rewards you for a high click through rate because it means that your ad is more relevant.

The secret to getting a high Click through Rate is hidden within your Google campaign. It's the ability that Google offers for you to test two ads together. The aim of the game is to be continually trying to beat your best performing ad. Do this over time and you could end up with a CTR two or three times that of your competitors - which could mean you paying half or a third of what they're having to pay for each click!

Here's where you create a new ad:


 

What you'll soon discover is that small differences in each ad can make a huge difference to the click through rate. Here's an example:


 

6 Relevancy - landing page

The Google search engine is built on relevancy. It's what made it so successful, so quickly. They have continued the relevancy theme with Pay per Click by rewarding relevant ads. Now they have gone a step further. When you advertise with them, Google will also scan your landing pages for relevancy. What does this mean for you? You can actually pay less per click by making changes to your landing page.

7 The most tragic PPC mistake of all - Not converting the maximum number of Visitors to Customers
So you've got your Pay per Click campaign up and running. You're running ads on a large selection of keywords, you're split testing your ads and your landing page is relevant. You're finally getting large numbers of qualified visitors to your website.

But are you getting the sales?

The world's most finely crafted Pay per Click campaign means nothing if we're not able to convert visitors to customers. This is why Website Conversion is
an essential part of the mix.

You improve your website conversions through:

And Finally ..... Could this soon be you.......

Hi Gail,

Hope you and Chris are keeping well.

I keep meaning to get round to dropping Chris a line to let him know how I'm getting on but just haven't had the time!

...........here's a few quick stats for the master to look at......

I've improved my CTR from a start 12 weeks ago from 8.81% to an amazing 20.79%.

I've halved my CPC from £3 to £1.46 and am regularly in the top 3 on Google.

I'm getting a 11% sign up rate to my landing pages and also about another 5% who call with actual enquiries.

Last month the web accounted for 50% of my turnover! and it created 27 new customers with an average spend of £1000.

Lastly, I have 3 huge enquires outstanding with prospective orders of over £1 million.

And all of this from about 10% of what I will eventually be advertising on the internet - there just doesn't seem enough time to add new adwords, reports etc.......but I'm sure some how I'll do it.

Anyway thanks in advance and send my regards to Chris.

Matt
