PPC Advertising

PPC Advertising

What is pay per click?

Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is a way of advertising through search engines. An advertiser pays for each click that sends a visitor to the advertiser's web page. The PPC search engine offers top positions among the sponsored search engine listings for the particular keywords or phrases you choose. The idea behind PPC bidding is such that you buy/bid on keywords that are relevant to your product or service. The highest bidder gets placed at the top of the sponsored search results, the second highest bidder gets the next listing and so on. Every time someone clicks through to your website, you pay the amount that you bid on that particular keyword.

How it can increase traffic, leads, and sales?

-Pre-Qualified Traffic

Bidding on keywords that pertain to your product or service, actually pre-qualifies the people that visit your website. You determine how much you are willing to pay/bid for each click and you only pay when someone clicks through to and visits your website. This suggests that PPC search engines can cheaply lead qualified visitors to your website.

-Instant Exposure, Immediate Profits

Generally, it takes search engines weeks and sometimes months to put up your website. If it is difficult to get to your website via search engines or if you would like to get the fastest results from the search engines, then PPC is the most efficient and cost-effective option. Most PPC search engines will have your website live within a couple of hours, which means that the your site traffic and sales increase immediately.

-Consistent Top Listings

PPC is the classic method of getting your website at top of sponsored search results for free. All you have to do is choose keywords that are related to your website and place them within your web pages.
