Become a Pay Per Click Expert in 5 Quick and Easy Steps!

Ever heard of the 90/10 pay per click rule? Basically it says that 90% of PPC success is enjoyed by only the top 10% of advertisers who know the inside methods to getting the most from their PPC campaign. And oddly enough, it’s basically true. Especially when it comes to Google’s AdWords, which offers the most advanced methods to help advertisers get their money’s worth (and then some!)

Some people use pay per click (PPC) as their primary source of search engine marketing while others use it as a way to get steady supplemental targeted traffic. As an SEO professional I’ve developed PPC campaigns for my clients so they get targeted traffic while the organic optimization is ramping up, which often takes weeks or months. Whatever the reason, PPC is a good way for any online business owner to get targeted traffic and a great way for those who know how to use the system to their advantage. And that’s exactly what this article will do for you.

But before we dive in, just why is AdWords so valuable? There are plenty of reasons but for starters…

1.) AdWords listings are seen by more than 80% of all Internet users on millions of sites ranging from Google and AOL to very specific niche locations it would otherwise take forever to research and manage independent advertising accounts with.

2.) Your ads can be targeted specifically by region or language.

3. ) Ads that you can constantly update and test are a great way to test what keywords are really best for targeting in your organic SEO efforts, which can be very time consuming and expensive.

Step 1: Get an AdWords Account

If you don’t already have an AdWords account, it’s easy enough to sign up for at http://adwords.google.com. Once you have your account you can begin creating ads and finding the best keywords. Actually, you can use Google’s free AdWords keyword research tool even without an account by visiting https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.

Step 2: Develop a Killer Ad

Here are the things to know about ad development broken out by Title and Body…

Ad Title:

1.) Use targeted keywords NOT your company name

2.) Mention a benefit, rather than a feature.

3.) Take advantage of the “Dynamic Titles” feature by entering the following code in your title “{KeyWord: Your Keyword}” (without quotes.) This allows you to use the same ad body text with a dynamically generated title that matches exactly what the searcher is looking for and makes your and the most relevant it can be. By the way, this is case sensitive; “{KeyWord: Your Keyword}” will make the first letter of each word capitalized while “{keykord: your keyword}” will make it all lower case.

Ad Body:

The body or text of your ad need only do two things; hook ‘em and then reel ‘em in. The hook is something that peaks their interest such as “Increase your Profits with XYZ software.” While reeling them in involves what traditional marketers refer to as a “call to action.” This might be “Download your Free 30 day Trial now.”

Note: Do not over capitalize your ad. At best just capitalize the words you feel are most important to the viewer. It’s OK to capitalize the first letter of each word in the title but not the body.

Step 3: Maximize URL Usage

While we’re on the subject of what the searcher sees in your ad, we need to consider the URL. Google will let you make the visible URL different than the actual URL leading to the landing page where the visitor will end up after clicking your ad. This is huge! Take advantage of it.

This feature will let you test multiple landing pages in your ads to see what pages are converting sales best while showing the visitor the “display” URL for your product. Let’s say the landing page being tested in this particular ad is “…com/XYZ/purchase3.htm.” When that ad gets clicked you will soon see if “/purchase3.htm” is converting better than “/purchase1.htm.” But here’s the magic… By using a display URL of “…com/XYZ/” , and actually having the product there as well, you are building your brand and providing a visual queue for users to manually type in the URL if for some reason your landing page is unavailable.

Step 4: Use Special Keyword Advantages

Obviously keywords are a very big factor in the success of your campaign. Choosing the best keywords is extremely important and using Google’s “Keyword Matching Options” can help take your great keywords one step further. Just click the “Advanced option: match types” link when setting up your ads and choose from the following…

1.) Broad Match: Is the default and will show your ad each time all of the keywords in your keyword phrase are entered.

2.) Phrase Match: Looks for the order of words in your keyword phrase and only shows your ad if the order matches. Your ad will still show if your phrase is any part of the search query, but only if the word order is the same.

3.) Exact Match: This is the most stringent and will only present your ad if your exact keyword phrase, and ONLY your exact keyword phrase, is used.

4.) Negative Match: This is a nice feature that will stop your ad from showing if a word appears in the search query that you don’t want to get clicks for. The most common example is “free” which would eliminate you paying for clicks from people who just want a free version of what you offer.

Step 5: Find and Use the Best Keywords

Now for the most important aspect of your pay per click campaign; keyword selection. The more targeted keywords you can find, the better. Google offers a great free keyword tool as we discussed early on. Here are the qualities to look for in your keywords:

1.) A good “Average Search Volume” rating (check out the blue bars)

2.) A high search volume for the previous month (especially true for seasonal topics)

3.) The lowest possible “Advertiser Competition” rating

4.) Look for common misspellings and use the “exact match” feature to get plenty of low cost targeted traffic.

5.) Scroll down the page and find hidden gems that others miss. There are a lot for those who look carefully enough.

Insider Tip: You can also collect hundreds of low volume keywords, put them in a spreadsheet for easy upload and use the “Dynamic Title” feature we discussed earlier to generate hundreds of low cost highly targeted leads.

Professional Tip: SEO professionals typically use specialized keyword selection and spy software because it does weeks worth of work in a matter of hours. Keyword Elite (http://www.KeywordEliteWeb.com) for example, can generate thousands of valuable keywords in minutes and does “ethical spying” that exposes the competition and makes placement takeover easy.

That’s all you need to know to join the top 10% of PPC advertisers getting the most out of their campaigns with minimal effort. Best of luck!

Some Quick Notes On Web Marketing

Some Quick Notes On Web Marketing

Web marketing is a long-term commitment to get targeted traffic to a website, business, or affiliate network page. Before embarking on the longwinded journey, it should be noted that there are key points of interest to look at before you dive in headfirst. By doing some preliminary thinking, and even hand written thought processes, you’ll be able to navigate the ocean of marketing easier and gain tremendous results.

Before you move forward with any sort of web marketing plan, make sure that you answer some simple questions. The first thing you need to know is that you need to understand the target market you’re looking for. If you can’t answer generalized questions about the general public that you’re aiming for, you’ll fail. You need to understand that thinking your audience is the entire world wide web, is only a delusional point of reference, and isn’t realistic. One you narrow down your target audience you can carefully plot where to go next.

Web marketing should not just be a cut and run type of scenario. You have to invest quality time into outlining the information you’re going to use to get people to your site. Whether you’re writing reviews, building websites, paying for PPC campaigns, or others, you’ll have to make sure that you’re in it for the long haul. Many start up and experienced marketers have given up too soon, and yield little to no results. The winning marketers are the ones that stick around and analyze each phase of their preliminary plan.

X10 PDA With Android Like Features – Quick Preview With Pros, Cons, & Some Specs

X10 PDA With Android Like Features – Quick Preview With Pros, Cons, & Some Specs

Here is the X10, which like the China G2, tries to emulate Google’s Android operating system.  Let’s take a closer look to see how good this phone really is.

Why Google’s Android OS can even be mentioned is that this phone attempts to recreate the feeling of Google’s OS in terms of home screen icons, and internal browsing.  Quick note, this phone does not use a true Android system as its internal chipset doesn’t have processors that have enough power.  That being said, the X10 does have some nice things going for it.

Spec wise, here is what the X10 sports.

It is GSM quad band, and carrier unlocked.
It has dual SIM ports with dual standby also included.
The primary material used for construction is PCP (Polycarbonate plastic).
The screen measures in at a large 3.8 inches, has 320×480 resolution, and made of TFT materials.
It weighs 95 gm.
Measurements for the phone are L114xW57xH14 mm.
Mobile internet can be accessed via EDGE/ GPRS/ WAP 2.0 and Wi-fi.
It features a 3.5mm standard earphone jack.
When needing to browse the phone or input text, touchscreen and a virtual QWERTY board are used.
Standard use will net you 46~60 hours of battery life.
Extra apps are based on the java platform, and the phone includes pre installed ones as well as letting new ones be downloaded and installed.
A MP3/ MP4 player combo, a camera with 1.9MP plus a camcorder, an eBook reader, an analog TV, Bluetooth with A2DP, internet chat programs, and a FM radio are its largest media offerings.

Here are a few pros and cons the X10 includes.

Pros
Though fake, the Android like system does permit some customization options in regards to the home menu screen.
With such a large screen (3.8 inches) everything comes in nice and large, and the colors are both bright and sharp.
Its pre installed java apps work very well, and include some very nice ones such as Google maps and Snaptu.
Online syncing for your phonebook, calendar, and your tasks is available.
Internet came in strong and clear.
Non proprietary earphone jacks that are 3.5mm are not that common and are nice to have.

Cons
Resembling but not actually being an Android phone is a off putting if you are expecting typical performance from an Android based phone.
Though able to access email, I found its email client not very user friendly.

Though not a Android phone, the X10 stands pretty well on its own accord if you don’t think of it a smartphone.

Quick Keyword Research

Conducting keyword research so that you have a solid listing of highly targeted keywords to use within your affiliate campaigns as well as your content is an essential part of developing a successful affiliate campaign.

By implementing keywords that consumers are actively entering into the search engines, you will be able to help your website, landing and content pages rank higher for relevant keywords, generating a nonstop flood of organic, TARGETED traffic from the major search engines.

Keyword research doesn’t have to be a difficult task, however. All you need is to become acquainted with Google’s free keyword tool and get into the habit of using it for every single niche market that you are considering promoting.

Visit: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal to begin. Enter in a keyword string or phrase that identifies the product or niche that you are interested in evaluating.

Click on ‘get keyword ideas’ to generate a list of possible keyword phrases as well as to gauge how competitive the market is. What you want to do is find a market with existing demand, (based on existing traffic), that also has existing competition and products readily available, but that isn’t so competitive that it would be impossible to penetrate.

However, you should always explore alternative keyword phrases that are still generating a good amount of traffic with less competition, if your primary keyword is simply too difficult to rank for, or too costly to promote with PPC.

Still, evaluating the number of existing competitors who do use PPC to promote websites and products within the niche markets that you are considering is a good indication of whether or not there is substantial interest and activity within potential markets.

Pay Per Click – Quick Result

PPC or pay per click advertisement is the latest tool for Search Engine Marketing. Today, PPC advertising has spread very rapidly all across the online market, especially for a specific section of the Internet audience.

Anytime a website uses specific keywords which you choose, your advertising will appear on their website. But, you will not be charged for your advertising on their website, until and unless a visitor from their website actually clicks on your advertisement. This means that hundreds of people may see your ad, but you will be only charged when that person will click on the advertisement.

Pay per Click advertising is considered to be a very effective way for the promotion of the product. . For instance, if you sell Textile products’ on your website, and you use Pay per Click advertising, your advert may appear in a blog wherein a visitor has just searched for textile products.

Now, this visitor is looking for information on these products, which means that he actually wants what you have to sell. If they look up and see an advertisement for your company and they see that you are providing some discount to them, then they are likely to click on that advert and visit your website. Once again, this visitor actually wants what you have to sell! That is the best part behind Pay per Click advertising, which is one of the most effective ways that you can draw in new customers and visitors to your own website.

There are two primary models for determining cost per click: flat-rate and bid-based. In both cases, the advertiser must consider the potential value of a click from a given source. In the flat rate model the advertiser has to pay a fixed amount whenever a customer clicks on the advertisement

In order to maximize your PPC ad impressions, it is very necessary to modify the advertisements time to time and test whether they are able to appeal to the search engines. Most of the PPC campaign management services allow online advertisers to display multiple ads and thus, it is important to make sure that your ad impressions are able to generate the required appeal so that they get noticed by the search engines.

5 Quick, Easy, And Free Keyword Research Methods

After you choose your niche market the next step is to find out if there is a big enough demand for your product.  Keyword research can be a long tedious process, and there is tons of information on the subject.  For those of us who do not have the patience to go through the painstaking process associated with keyword research, I put together this list of 5 quick, easy, free keyword research methods.

Since the majority people who search for stuff online use Google you will find that most of the tools that I recommend for keyword research are owned by Google.

5 Quick, Easy, and Free Keyword Research Methods

1. Google Adwords Keyword Tool- This is my favorite keyword research tool and also a favorite tool of a lot of marketers.  It is a simple and effective keyword research tool.

All you need to do is enter your primary keyword and this tool will generate a list of related keywords and it also lets you know the amount of montly searches for each of those keywords.

This is valuable information when you are trying to find out the demand for a particular product or niche.

2. Microsoft OCI- This is a keyword research tool created by Microsoft that measures the buying intent of a customer.  The way this keyword research tool works is that when you enter a keyword it will give you a rating from 0.00 to 0.99.

If the commercial intent is high that means that when a person uses that particular keyword to search for something online that there is a high possibility that they are a buyer.

Inversely, If the commercial intent is low, it means that if a person is using that particular keyword to search for something, the chances  that they are looking to buy something are low.

3.Amazon- Most people use Amazon to buy books and other products, but it can also be used as a keyword reaserch tool.

You can search for items on Amazon by looking through the different categories.  Find a category related to your niche and check both the “Best Sellers” list and the “Movers and Shakers” list.

These lists will show you the best selling and hottest items on Amazon.  If people are buying these items on Amazon that is a good sign that you have located a viable niche.

4. Google Insights- This tool allows you to compare the search volume patterns across specific regions, categories, and time zones.

After you realize that there is a good amount of demand for a specific keyword, this keyword research tool will let you do more in depth reasearch by letting you see even more statistics on your keywords.

5.Google Trends- This is a handy keyword research tool that will let you know during what season or time of year a keyword is most popular.

These are just a few of the many keyword research tools out there. I like them because not only are they free, but they give you enough information about your target market so that you will not go into business blindly.

Much Success,

“4 Quick Tips to Get People Interested in What YOU Do”

admin    Twitter Marketing     Do”, Interested, People, Quick, Tips, “4

By Victoria Player, the “Online Marketing Coach”

I recently put a survey together asking my list what their most important question was in regard to marketing and growing their business. The results showed a common theme. Many of you enquired, “How can I get people interested in what I do?”

In this article I share some tips to increase your visibility, get the attention of YOUR target audience and help elevate your expert status, making YOU the natural choice.

This week whilst I was working with a client I was asked a similar question. Jane (not her real name) explained that she’d been attending a number of local networking events, collecting business cards and following up with those that she’d met. She’d also spent time using Facebook and Twitter. Despite consistent effort she’d been unable to generate attention and still had nothing to show for her efforts. Jane wanted to know how to capture interest and then turn that interest into income!

1. Demonstrate your expertise

This will quickly filter out anyone who is not part of your target market and immediately give you a greater return on your investment of time. You’re ONLY communicating with those that WANT to hear your message. Marketing becomes much more enjoyable because you’re not forcing yourself on people who don’t want to hear from you.

2. Write an article on your area of expertise

Your article should recognise your target audiences’ wants, needs and problems just as I’ve done here. I’m answering my readers’ questions and challenges whilst simultaneously building rapport and breaking down the scepticism associated to buying. Publish your article within your ezine and post to article submission sites across the internet.

3. Repurpose your content

In light of the current economic downturn it’s vital to make a PERSONAL connection with your audience. Use media such as video or audio to repurpose your article. Chop it up into 140 characters for Twitter tips. Post it at your blog and drive traffic from Facebook. Chop it into sound-bites for a series of audio tips to share on Friendfeed or video yourself and post it to YouTube.

4. Use social proof

Nothing builds credibility more than other’s showering you with praise. It’s also a powerful tool in leading people to buy. It works on the idea that, if everyone else is doing something then you‘re going to want to do it as well. Here are examples of Tweets I received yesterday that I re-tweeted (RT) to my social networks: –

RT: @SusanSavery @VictoriaPlayer Hi Victoria – great coaching call yesterday, I spent the rest of the day doing research lol thanks again for your fantastic marketing ideas! xx Ps the video diary is great : )
