How To Pay Less & Get More With Pay Per Click Search Engines
Pay
Per Click Search Listings
Pay
Per Click Search Listings is the best way to get cheap, targeted
instant traffic to your site. You don't have to wait for weeks and
months for search engines to index your site. All you have to do
is open an account and bid for your positions! And you will start
receiving traffic in just a matter of days or even minutes! What
can be easier than that?
Pay
Per Click Search Listings is the only definite way to get your site
displayed on the first page of major search engines like Google,
Yahoo and MSN. And the best thingis, there is no need to worry about
optimizing your site and finding ways to improve your search engine
rankings!
While
there are hundreds of Pay Per Click Search Engines out there, you
should focus only on the major ones like Overture.com, FindWhat.com,
7Search.com, etc. These should give you 95% of the traffic you can
get from Pay Per Click Search Engines without bothering you too
much with bid management.
With
Pay Per Click, you pay only for actual results, i.e. you only pay
when someone clicks on your listings to visit your site. Hence,
the name Pay Per Click. Generally, success with Pay Per Click lies
with three factors:
| 1.
|
Choosing
the right keywords. Wrong keywords = low click through rate
& non-targeted traffic!
|
| 2. |
Developing
a keyword-rich Title & Description. Studies have shown that
if your keywords appear in your Title & Description, there
will be higher click through rate and hence more visitors to
your site
|
| 3.
|
Bidding
for your position effectively. To get your site listed on other
partnering search engines and to get higher click through rate,
you need to get in to the top 3 positions. However, before bidding
blindly for the top 3 positions, you have to work out your maximum
bid so that you don't lose money!
|
This
is how you calculate your maximum bid:
First,
work out your conversion rate which is the percentage of visitors
who becomes your customer. Say if 2 out of every 100 visitors buy
from your site, your conversion rate would then be 2%.
Next,
check your profit per sale. In this example, say you make $8 per
sale.
After
that, multiply your conversion rate with your profit per sale. Here,
it would be $0.16 (2% X $8).
This
$0.16 is your maximum bid!
This
the first lesson in Pay Per Click Listings. Work out your maximum
bid and never bid higher than that! Otherwise, you are losing money!
For
complete tricks and strategies on how you can improve your click
through rate and minimize wastage, I strongly recommend this E-Book
"Mastering
Your Pay Per Click Performance".
Sidenote:
As the minimum bid is getting higher (Overture has recently increase
the minimum bid to $0.10) and top bids skyrocketing to Dollars,
it is more important than ever to learn how you can improve your
Pay Per Click Returns!
Google
Adwords
Besides
Pay Per Click Search Engines, you should also check out Google Adwords.
Since Google now is the de facto king of search engines, getting
your site listed on the first page of Google will literally bring
you tons of traffic overnight.
Unlike
Pay Per Click Search Engines which rank your site strictly based
on the amount you bid (the higher you bid, the higher you are ranked),
Google Adwords looks at your click through rate as well. This means
two things:
| 1.
|
The
highest bidding site will have the top spot for a start. But
over time, with a low click through rate, its ranking will be
dropped.
|
| 2. |
A
lower bidding site may rank higher than a higher bidding site
simply because it has a higher click through rate!
|
Hence,
Google Adwords presents wonderful opportunities for small startups
to out-rank the big boys without having to spend a fortune to outbid
them. Also, thewre is still lots of untapped opportunities in Goolge
Adwords! And with minimum bid at just $0.05 for a lot of keywords,
it is easy for you to have top premium positions for pennies!
If
you are using or plan to use Google Adwords to generate traffic
to your site, make sure you check out "21
Ways to Maximize Your Google Adwords ROI". Not only
will you learn how to improve your ad rankings without increasing
your bid, you will also learn different ways to target and qualify
your visitors to save unnecessary clicks!
PS
- Within the first few days of using the strategies outlined
in this book, I have seen my click through rate increased from the
low 1.5% to 3.7% for one popular single keyword! As a result of
that, my average position for the word has shot up to 1.5 from 4.2!
And I achieve all these without touching my bids!
Do not advertise
on Google Adwords without reading this book!
Just
think of the increased traffic you can get with the same advertising
spending!
