To Pay, can Pay!
To Pay can Pay!
When I started out, I was determined to pay for as little as
possible. Search engine submissions seemed relatively simple;
just type in your details and "let it off". I was set to be a
millionaire in a few months. Why didn't I do this years ago
instead of working like a slave in a thankless and tough
engineering industry?. However, I was somewhat naive. There is a
lot to learn but the good news is that it can be learned so
following is the essence of Pay Per Click search engines . PPC
or "pay per click" search engines, are a way to get guaranteed
and targeted traffic. To take any mystery out of it, you just
place a bid on the words of your choice. These words are
typically words one would type into a search engine that would
eventually lead them to your website.
If you are marketing "BREAD", then this would be one such word
or keyword. You put yourself in the shoes of the person looking
for your product or a product like yours. This should sensibly
be uncomplicated. For example, you shouldn't select "bread for
beginners" or "bread that will melt in your mouth". Your bread
might very well melt in the mouth, but the regular Joe or
Josephine wouldn't typically know that and therefore would not
type it in as a search keyword. The market on the internet is
anyone and everyone that is connected so some consideration for
the way they think is required and essential.
Targeted traffic is the only traffic of any commercial use and
this is possible with PPC's. If you have the highest bid for
"BREAD", then you will automatically be number one with that
particular search engine, and maybe others allied to it. It is
then up to your product/site to do the business. Its
straightforward enough and may only need a bit of practice.
Examples of such PPC's are; Overture, Google, 7 search, and many
more. All you have to do is type in PAY PER CLICK in google or
any search engine and you will have loads to choose from.
Remember, and this is important, to think the same way as your
market when selecting keywords. They are more likely to type in
a few words than many and it is not a safe assumption that the
majority are even good typists. In fact, they don't have to be,
if you make it as simple as possible.
The bids that you have to beat are displayed for you so you can
easily estimate how much you will be charged per click. This is
not a credit system and you may have to load your account with
the particular engine with money. Your clicks will then be
deducted from this agreed amount, so you will get a hit to your
site, assuming that the word or combination of words that you
selected, are reasonably likely to be typed in. Sadly though, it
doesn't guarantee a sale.
In conclusion, PPC's are not too difficult to master and are a
good return of investment.
