Denver Pay Per Click Advertising
Pay Per Click Advertising
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, and in particular Google AdWords, is the only guaranteed method for controlling where you appear in search engine results.
How does Pay Per Click Advertising work?
Using Google AdWords as an example, you setup an AdWords account, create your advert (within a campaign and group) and then bid on the keyword search terms where you would like your advert to appear. Once activated, your advert will start appearing in the sponsored link adverts alongside search results.
Your advert can appear millions of times at no cost. However, as soon as somebody clicks the advert to reach your website, you owe Google an amount for that click.
Nobody Trusts the Sponsored Adverts
Most clicks from search engine results pages are on to the natural (organic) links, but sponsored links can still be useful. Remember, you do not pay to have your advert appear, you only pay when somebody clicks it.
Pay Per Click is Open to Fraud
While it is true that your unscrupulous competitors could occasionally click your advert, fraud is fairly uncommon. Search engines naturally want to protect you from fraudulent clicks, so they have gone to great lengths to detect invalid activity, such as multiple clicks from the same IP address, repetitive clicks, the timing of clicks, and so on.
Pay Per Click is Too Expensive
We often hear clients complain that they have already spent too much money on an unsuccessful PPC campaign. It is actually very easy to waste money with pay per click advertising. Here are some of the things that can go wrong:
These are just some examples – the list goes on. If a campaign is created correctly, pretty much any company can succeed with PPC advertising.
