How Does Pay Per Click Work?

In short, “pay per click” is an Internet advertising model where advertisers only pay when their ad is actually clicked. Typically, advertisers will bid on keywords or phrases relevant to their target market. PPC can also use the “affiliate” model, where financial incentives (a percentage of revenue) are offered to affiliated partner sites that host the ads. Google Content Network is a good example of this. The system is actually pay-for-performance as far as affiliates are concerned; if they don’t generate clicks or impressions, there’s no cost to the merchant. Sponsored links will show up next to or above organic results on search engines, along with relevant content or search results. Thus, the actual cost per click will vary according to the demand for the keyword and the search engine itself (pricing models differ). Google and others have automated systems to head off abusive clicks from competitors and other types of click fraud.

Do I Really Need SEO (Search Engine Optimization)?

Do you really need SEO? Let me first address your question with another question: do you want traffic on your website? Do you want highly targeted, highly interested traffic coming to your website? Do you want to experience this traffic day in and day out for a consistently long period of time?  If the answers are yes, then, yes, you undoubtedly need SEO. It is a virtual certainty that somewhere out there in that vast internet world, someone, or many someones, want to read what you have to say or buy what you are selling – you just have to reach them. That’s what SEO (Search Engine Optimization) offers; you are simply reaching your target audience by making your company, your products and services visible for exactly the right people; those that are searching for you but don’t yet know your name.

Link Building Methods & Opportunities

Just as friends are important to your authority (influence) on Facebook, and followers are important to your authority on Twitter, Backlinks are important to your website’s authority within search engines. Backlinks are inbound links originating outside of your website to pages within your website.  However, not all Backlinks are created equal; Google et al value Backlinks differently based on how they are achieved and the source of the link itself.  You can buy your Backlinks.  You can register your URL on thousands of Directory sites … this will create Backlinks but it will score few points with the search engines as they are not highly valued.  The most highly valued Backlinks are driven by great content that is adopted or linked to by high value websites.  High value websites include those websites that have high Google PageRank (PR).

When Should You Start A PPC Campaign?

Pay per Click is a form of paid online advertising that, in most instances such as in Google Adwords, provides advertisers the ability to bid for ad space on the first page of Search Engine Page Results (SERPs).  The chief advantages for the advertiser are:

  1. The ads are keyword-based.  This means that your ads will only appear if the searcher has entered a keyword search that matches the keyword you have a successful bid for.  In addition, there is no cost for the display of the ad; you only pay when the ad is actually clicked.

When Is Google AdWords Necessary?

It’s important to have an understanding of what Google AdWords is and how it works. With AdWords, advertisers pick keywords they believe will be relevant to their website and their marketing strategies. They then bid on the keywords and phrases, with the highest bidders having their ads above the top search engine results (shaded in yellow) and/or along the right side of the first Search Engine Result Page (SERP). The cost per click (CPC) is then formulated according to how the bids were priced; what makes AdWords so unique, though, is the advertiser doesn’t pay for the placement itself. What’s paid for is each click on the ad that brings the web surfer to the advertiser’s optimized landing page.

What No Longer Works in Internet Marketing

Internet marketing and SEO has finally grown out of its infancy. Over the last few years, several strategies have been developed that have allowed online businesses to market their business and increase their market share. Many of these strategies still work well, however, technology has changed, meaning some of these technologies are not as effective as they once were.

Mainly, the thing to understand is that search engines have gotten smarter. Because of this, some strategies that used to work very well are no longer be effective; or at least as effective.  When looking at your marketing strategy, one of the first questions you should be asking yourself is if each of your strategies will be effective with search engines. You will quickly see that some of your strategies must be tossed out.
