Are you the proud owner of a website ? Have you tweaked it until you cannot imagine how it could be improved further ? Your certain that any visitors will be impressed and probably buy your product or service. Therein lies the problem, how exactly do you generate this flood of traffic ?
Driving traffic to your site is a huge subject and it seems someone comes up with a different way of doing it every week. There are tried and tested methods including writing for forums, blogs and social websites as well as links of all kinds and the frequently misunderstood S.E.O., search engine optimisation. However if it’s speed your after one method stands out, you’ve probably guessed it, Google’s PPC ads can have prospective buyers coming to your site in a matter of hours.
I?m sure you know what a PPC ad is but, just in case, they are the advertisements that are listed on the right hand side of any Google page after you have typed in a search term and clicked ?Google Search?. The idea is, of course, that you click on the ad and go through to the website and if you do that the advertiser who put up the ad in the first place will be charged, by Google, for your click. Most people who try using PPC ads do so in a way that it a million miles from how the ?professionals? do it.
Entrepreneurs who make the big bucks online organise their pay per click campaign in an altogether different way than the majority of those who perhaps give it one or two tries then give up without sufficient sales and minus some of their hard earned money.
Here’s how the big boys organise their adwords campaigns. The first stage is to compile a list, often running into thousands, even tens of thousands, of relevant keywords. A good place to start is Google’s own, free, External Keyword Tool. I know some successful marketeers who use nothing else. Stage two is composing the four line ad, in fact two ads, as you need constantly replace the one that performs least well. Line one of the ad, the headline, should be the keyword phrase, lines two and three extol the benefits of the product and line four is the url of the website. Each of these ad groups has only that one keyword in it !
There is an obvious flaw to this method, or at least that’s what I thought, how can anyone write and handle that number of ads and keywords ? Spending every waking hour at the computer could put a serious strain on your domestic relationships as well as your brain ! Not all keywords are 25 characters, or less, long and as that is the maximum allowed by Google, what then ?
You may be thinking that the answer is simply not to have such huge campaigns. The smaller the list of keywords you have the less likely you are to find the ones that convert into sales. The financial implications of this will be discussed at another time but scale is important.
O.K. so we create adwords campaigns on a large scale to find those elusive, order producing, keywords but clearly this cannot be done manually. Adwords software is the only way forward. It needs to be able to create and handle hundreds even thousand of keywords and ad groups and have them set up to be easily uploaded to the web. Moreover it needs an automatic device to deal with the situation where the keyword headline is longer than 25 characters.
Time to kiss the old manual approach goodbye and embrace technology. All very well but I?m technically challenged and at the time of doing this less than prosperous.
To begin with all I could find were programs that I would have spent months trying to understand and were, in any case, far more expensive than I could afford.
Finally I stumbled upon inexpensive adwords software that was superb and even I could use . It was one of those eureka moments and financially speaking a new day dawned and could for you too !
