Before you begin your next pay per click ad campaign it is a good idea to sit back, take stock, and learn these three tips you can use in order to increase the profits you bring home from these campaigns. Not only will you find ways to build bigger profits but also ways to make your campaign run more smoothly listed below.
Keywords
The importance of proper keywords can never be over emphasized. It doesn't matter how many campaigns you have under your pay per click belt you can ruin a good run with one bad batch of keywords. Spend a great deal of time narrowing down and refining your list of potential keywords so that you have a nice selection of high search volume and low competition keywords at your disposal. This will allow you to test out several keyword combinations in order to find the keywords that provide the best results and most qualified candidates for more profitable clicks.
Landing Pages
Another important factor in the overall success of your pay per click campaign is your landing page. It is a good idea to test several different landing pages with various keywords. You may find that some keywords and phrases work better with one landing page than another, that some keywords don't work well at all, or that some of the landing pages aren't really closing the deal and making those big sales that are vital to the success of your pay per click efforts. Your landing page needs to let visitors know what you have to offer and make the hard sale for you. If they aren't delivering it is time to either rethink your landing pages, your overall strategy, or pay per click in general—especially if you are getting the traffic you should be and have ruled out the possibility of click fraud.
Analysis
Analyze everything. Rearrange things and analyze them again before making the final determination. You never know when the ideal combination will present itself but constant care, attention, and analysis of your pay per click efforts will announce loud and clear when you've found a winning combination that you will want to capitalize upon. The ultimate goal is to have a substantial return on a minimal investment. Your ROI should weigh heavily in your decisions to make changes, continue, or discontinue any aspect of your pay per click campaign.
It may seem a little over simplistic at first to rest the success and/or failure of a pay per click campaign solely on a few details. The truth remains that paying attention to the tree details above can make a world of difference in how successful your campaigns are. Once you learn these tips and repeat them throughout a few campaigns you will find that they are as second nature as breathing. You may sometimes also feel that they are as necessary as breathing. It all comes down to how you want to do business but if you are ready to bring your pay per click business up a notch or two, you can't afford not to pay attention to the details of keywords, landing pages, and the importance of analysis for the health and well-being of your campaign.
Beginning your first, second, or fiftieth pay per click can be a little intimidating. There are moments of fear and excitement as well as moments where you face a great deal of uncertainty. Of course, there are things you can do that will make the process go a lot more smoothly and give you a better sense of control as to how your campaign will go.
Keep these steps in mind when beginning your pay per click campaign and you should enjoy greater success than if you didn't let these steps serve as your guide.
Set Goals
No advertising campaign is going to get off the ground much less be a raving success if you don't have any stated goals for the work you're doing to get it up and running. Goals are fluid and can be adjusted as you go but it is important to have goals so that you can create a plan to work toward those goals. Even if you need to establish small goals in the beginning just to get your feet wet and try to get a clearer understanding of how the pay per click process works, you need goals before diving in or you may find that you are really in over your head.
Establish Budget
You must establish a realistic working budget for your pay per click advertising campaign. Whether this is your first campaign or your fortieth, you need to set a limit on your budget in order to keep things from getting out of hand quickly. Even the most experienced advertisers have an occasional dud of a campaign that loses money. Setting a budget will limit your losses if this is the case.
Select Keywords
Hopefully by this time you've learned a few secrets for keyword research. You need to carefully choose the keywords that you will be using in your PPC advertising efforts. Once you've created these keywords you can begin building your advertising campaign and setting things up to get started.
Landing Page
This is one of the most important aspects of your pay per click campaign outside of the keywords you select. The keywords serve to pre-qualify the visitors you are getting while the landing page is what you are using to close the deal and make the sale. You need to create a landing page that is designed to make the hard sale and deliver results.
Analyze—Adjust
Finally you reach the stage of your pay per click campaign where you will study the results. Find out where your strengths and weaknesses lie and make the changes needed to prevent them from being problems or minimize the impact that your problems have on your budget and the success of your campaign. By keeping a close eye on things you can find out quickly where things begin to go wrong and stop the campaign quickly. You can also find out where things are going well and make adjustments to other test campaigns you have running to reflect this new knowledge.
Knowing these five steps can get your next pay per click campaign off to one spectacular beginning. What are you waiting for?
