Pay per click advertising can be one of the best ways to make money online. With ppc advertising you have the opportunity to access almost instant targeted traffic and thus it can really help to increase sales for your product or service. However ppc advertising can also become very expensive, very quickly so it is important to know what you are doing in order to succeed.
Google adwords is the biggest pay per click service out there. Yahoo and MSN also have their own programs but they are not quite as large but can be still worth looking into. It is best to learn how to use adwords because it can deliver the most traffic at the fastest rate. The first step is to select appropriate keywords for your campaign.
Make sure that the keywords you pick are as relevant and targeted as possible to the product or service you are selling. If you pick general keywords then the conversion rates will not be as high. Create small very relevant ad groups because this will help to improve the quality score of your account.
The Google adwords program uses quality score to determine the effectiveness of your ads. It is important to build up a good quality score because then you will pay less per click and your ads will also rank better which means more clicks. Improving click through rates is one of the best ways to improve the quality score of your account.
Having lots of ad groups with small amounts of keywords per ad group is a good way to create relevant ads that draw the most clicks. Also add some keywords to the title and even the body of your ads. Remember that keywords get bolded in the search results so this will help to improve click through rates. Also add some relevant keywords to the landing pages of your ads. This will also help to improve the quality score of your ads.
Also you can check the quality score of your ads in your account at any time by turning it on by selecting it from the dropdown menu in the keywords section of your adwords account. It is also a good idea to run multiple ad variations for each ad group.
Tracking conversions is also very important so make sure you take advantage of this feature in your adwords account. All you need to do is place some code to the thank you pages of your products or services after a transaction is made. This will allow you to know which ads are converting so you can spend more on those. If you are an affiliate then see if your merchant will consider adding this to their site, approach them professionally and you may find that many merchants will comply
