PPC Internet Advertising Today
All advertisers go through the trouble of finding the right balance for their pay-per-click campaigns. Only by endless testing and tweaking can advertisers hope to achieve the maximum conversion rate results they want.
Are you getting the right kind of people in front of your PPC ads who will click through and be converted from viewers to customers? This is the question you should have a positive answer for. If your ad is not targeted to the right audience, no matter how huge it is, you can’t convert that audience to customers, can you?
Internet advertising based on pay-per-click results in higher conversion rates if the campaigns are running with clockwork precision and traffic arrival is at a 24/7 frequency. What will assure you of this is by running testing. The most effective way of testing is to run split tests. This method involves running 2 ads at the same time. You can do this by putting together both ads and matching to the ad groups. What will show more often is your best performing ad. You have the option of altering the settings in your ad serving from optimized to rotate, which you can do yourself if you want. Then your ads will show at the same intervals. How effective a PPC campaign is can be determined by analyzing the test results after about 200 clicks. What you are trying to determine is which ad copy in your headline attracts more viewers and drives more traffic to your site.
The other method you can use is to work around your quality score. You can do this by properly setting the ad groups so that they deliver visitors to the exact page relevant to your ad. To give you an example, suppose you’re running a shoes e-commerce site. You would have men’s shoes, women’s shoes, children’s shoes, etc.
You couldn’t send your traffic from those 3 searches to one page. Different sections would be needed for your site. If you match your search phrases to your website content, you will be delivering your visitors to what they are searching for faster. If you get a higher quality score, the result will be lower CPC (cost per click).
By using varied testing methods and having ad groups serve up different ads, your PPC advertising campaigns will be more effective, thus allowing you to earn more.
