What Are the Benefits of Pay Per Click Advertising

Going by some recent messages I have had and some of the comments I have seen within WA Pay Per Click advertising seems to be intimidating to some. From reading those comments and replies to them I believe they do not completely understand what PPC is and fail to see the benefits of using something like this for their own business. So to shed some light on this subject - this blog.

Pay for click is a great way to grow your business online and to increase the return on investment. PPC is simple, once you really get an understanding of how it works. If you are new to Wealthy Affiliate and a complete ‘Newbie’ to internet/affiliate marketing and you are still trying to figure out the ins and outs of running an online business, you need to do a lot of research.

Although there is some training here within WA you might want to work with an expert who is willing to show you the ropes and guide you through the process of setting up successful sites and turning your basic ideas into ideas that generate money. At the very least, you need to do a tremendous amount of research in order to find success in the internet/affiliate marketing world.

Basically PPC is an advertising method that allows you put your advertisements in text on a search engine page. Think of one of the popular search engines and what you see when you type in a search term. Several results pop up, both in the center of the screen and off to the side. Some are sponsored results, meaning you are paying for them to be there and others happen naturally based on how well you have built your site. PPC usually appears on the natural list, sometimes called the organic results, and you only pay when people choose your entry.

Using PPC also allows you to target a specific geographical area. If you find that customers are more interested in your product from a different part of the world, PPC allows you to focus on that country or region. You do not need to set up a shop in a certain country to achieve results. You simply select a given country as your target and those people are going to be driven to your site. If you think your product or service is better suited for a particular region of the world, this is going to save you money because you can set your focus on one place.

PPC also gives you control over the cost of your campaign. You decide what you want to pay for each visitor that follows the ink. This enables you to outbid those who might want to use similar search result terms and get more attention and more visitors than you. However, if you want to keep your costs down you can avoid the expensive terms and stick with the amount you want to pay.

The best part about PPC is that you get fast results. Visitors come to your site and you have little to worry about in regard to building an optimized site to get higher rankings. It can take weeks or longer to build a site that is capable of producing the results of PPC as quickly. Once you set up your PPC campaign, you are set to go and you will see visitors increase.

Although I don’t use it much now I personally believe that pay for click is a great way to increase your online business. Why not give it a go.

The link to a web page will give you loads of info and links to more.

I tried out a small campaign and it worked quite well I feel I do need to understand it more and that is on my list to tackle

Follow the link Katie coz there's loads of info there.
My blog was really only a pointer in that direction coz there is so much to learn about PPC that I could write dozens of blogs and still have lots of info to pass on.
Thank you for the comment.
Robert

hey, what kind of campaign did you try Katie?
Was it an info product or amazon product?
You used a landing page or direct link to sales page?

Hope you dont mind the questions. I was just thinking of trying out ppc and wasnt sure how to proceed. bing ads, facebook, etc. there are so many and it seems a bit confusing. Therefore, I felt like I had to ask.

not long after I started WA Bing did a promotion give you £50 to spend on keyword PPC so I set it up using keywords and a daily budget it was quite good, but I really did not understand it too well and decided I would go back when I have learned a bit more, I will go back to it... this might be of interest to you

Thanks Katie,
That was very helpful.

Robert, thanks for the calm cool approach to a subject that sometime makes one sweat- spending money when you are not yet making any. I feel better about adding this to my wish list now.
Sami

You have a wish list Sami.
You know what they say - be careful what you wish for lol.
Hope you're successful when you do give it a go.
Thank you for your comment.

Hi Robert you mention that there is some training re ppc here at WA but we might need the assistance of a professional. Do you have links to who that might be?
Trevor

I definitely use PPC on some, but not all, of my posts.

It can be a very worthwhile venture once you know what you're doing and keep those costs down.
I wish you well in you campaigns.
Thank you for the comment.
Robert

A very worthwhile post sir Rob!! Enlightening!

Glad you liked it and perhaps you might get your feet wet - one toe at a time of course.
Thank you for your comment.
Robert

Thanks Bob. Useful information. I'm on WA for just about a month. I believe I may need to sell online to other countries so PPC may be useful. But wonder if there is any solution for drop shipping small (unit) quantity of product internationally.

Hello. I'm afraid I have never dabbled in Drop Shipping.
I personally believe it is not worth the risk because you could lose Big Time because there are lots of scams so beware.
Each to his or her own though as its down to personal choice.
Thank you for your comment.
Robert

Thanks Bob.

No probs and have a nice day.
Robert

Great post. It is great for fast results. But you can lose your shirt if you do not know what you are doing. I am waiting to get to it in the training here.

Then don't wear a shirt lol
Hope you make lots of cash coz if done right you will.
Thank you for the comment.
Robert

This is something I dabbled with earlier (b4 WA) but really want to give it another go soon - my site is almost up to standard to make it worthwhile. I'll look at further details and do more research / planning.
Thanks
Richard
