Written by ppcmetho on February 25th, 2009

avaberne asked:


Lately I see a lot of people joining all these paid-for-click sites and I’m curious because some consider it as a legit sideline/extra job. Or at least that’s what they say. So what I want to know is, is it REAL? or just a scam?

So you register, apply for paypal (or other online payment facility), surf and get paid, like, 10 cents per click, for example. Will you really get paid to surf? Have you done this job and got paid for it?

Pls. share your own experiences. I’d appreciate it though if replyers be honest and not just say things to recruit me or other people. I’m asking to get more info only.

When you use a Pay Per Click Option in your marketing plan, do you think that some are clicking just to click?

healthsys2 asked:


I want to know that if I ever choose to use a PPC option, that it will not be money wasted by some people who really don’t want to visit my site with an interest in making a purchase. I have even heard that some experienced competitors will try to drive “newbies” from the PPC scene by wasting their marketing funds.

Pay Per Click Marketing 101

Written by ppcmetho on February 22nd, 2009

Jake Riley asked:


PAY PER CLICK ADVERTISING

Pay per click advertising. When this first came out, the prices were insane. Then the prices dropped like a rock and Google was just the best place to advertise. Then, Google got too big for its own shoes and were back to where we started. Keywords that used to cost 7 cents per click are now going for 40 cents to $1 or more.

Okay, maybe for those of you who dont know what pay per click advertising is, I should give a brief, but by no means a complete definition as pay per click can get very complicated.

Pay per click advertising is the method by which advertisers pay a particular search engine, such as Google, Yahoo, etc., a certain amount of money for each visitor that is sent to the advertisers website.

Please believe me, this is a VERY complicated process and the above definition doesnt even scratch the surface.

The truth is, pay per click advertising is so involved that books have been written on the subject. Some of them are best selling books too. Unfortunately, all of those books are worthless when it comes to trying to explain how to use pay per click advertising. And trust me, if this book tried to do the same, it would be JUST as worthless.

Pay per click advertising rules change so often that there is just no way to keep up with the changes. A book written tomorrow is outdated in a month.

So, were going to take a different approach to pay per click advertising. Instead of trying to teach you every little thing about it, were going to give you a guideline of rules to follow that must NEVER be broken. If you do JUST this much, then the rest of it wont matter. Why? Because regardless of what anyone tells you, pay per click advertising is very hard to make profitable these days. There are too many problems with it.

Here are the main problems.

1. Cost per click costs are unpredictable from one day to the next

2. Because of the problem of click fraud, too much of your costs are basically thrown in the trash.

3. Each search engine has a different setup which makes trying to teach you HOW to set up a campaign totally futile.

4. Most search engines have very little control options as far as WHO you want your ad to be seen by, such as ONLY English speaking people.

5. Most search engines require you to pay up front even before you get the clicks, at least for the first month or for so many clicks. For example, Miva makes you deposit $50 up front, so you better make sure you get enough clicks to use it up or the money is thrown away. There are NO refunds.

These are the main problems. Believe me, there are more. My point is this. If you see any book teaching you HOW to beat pay per click, run for the hills because ultimately, very little of whats in those books is going to make much differenceNot today.

But like I said, there are certain things you need to know that will at the very least save you money.

The most important thing is to take the selling price of your product, whatever it is, and figure out how much it is going to cost you to make 1 sale.

How do you do that? Simple.

If youre selling a tested affiliate product (not your own product) then the industry average is 1 sale for every 100 clicks.

So, if your product sells for $49 and you get a 50% commission on that $49 sale, then your earning per sale is $24.50.

If it costs you 10 cents per click and you make 1 sale for every 100 clicks, then 100 clicks will cost you $10.00. That means your profit is $14.50.

However, if it costs you 30 cents per click to sell your product, then 100 clicks will cost you $30 and youll actually LOSE $5.50 for every sale. So in that case, pay per click advertising doesnt pay well enough to use it to promote your product.

So, the key to all this is to figure out what its going to cost you per click to advertise your product.

That is where this gets VERY involved.

Here are the basic things you need to know.

When selling ANY product using pay per click advertising, your results are all going to be based on the keywords you use. All bidding for position (where you land on the search engine page) is done by keywords.

For example. Lets say you are selling a natural cure for acne. If its a product being sold that is made by another company in which you are an affiliate for, email the company and ask them what keywords you should be bidding on to sell their product. If you cant get a hold of the company, dont panic. The keywords will be listed in the source code of their HTML on their sales page. Just view this source code and see what keywords theyre using. These are the keywords you want to use when setting up your pay per click campaign.

To find out how much these keywords are going to cost you, you first want to decide what positions you want to land in on the search engine results page. And no, you DONT want to be in position 1. Why? Because the freebie seekers will eat you alive. You want to fall between positions 7 and 12. Those are the BEST positions to fall in between to make the most sales for the least amount of money.

After you decide on the positions you want to fall in, you then have to figure out how much youre going to have to spend per click to achieve those positions. This is trial and error.

What you do is go to the pay per click sites cost estimator, if they have one, and start putting in some amounts for the keywords you want. Start with 10 cents per click. If 10 cents per click only lands you between positions 12 and 20, then youre going to have to raise it up a bit until you fall between positions 7 and 12. Lets for arguments sake say it costs you 15 cents per click to get between positions 7 and 12. That means, 100 clicks is going to cost you $15.00. That means you have to be making at least $15.01 per sale or it doesnt pay to do this.

But

Making a penny a sale is a joke. You want to make at least 100% over the cost of the sale. So if its going to cost you $15 to make 1 sale, then you need to be paid a commission of at least $30 for that sale. If youre not, then selling that product using pay per click is not worth it.

There you go. I have just taken the most complicated advertising system in the world and simplified it down to this.

Here are the steps.

1. Pick a product to sell.

2. Pick a pay per click search engine to use.

3. Get the keywords needed for the product.

4. Figure out how much it will cost PER CLICK to promote that product, shooting for a position of 7 through 12.

5. Figure out how much profit you will make based on 1 sale per 100 clicks.

6. If the profit is less than 100% then do NOT use pay per click to promote this product.

I just saved you about $49 on useless pay per click books.

If you need a list of pay per click sites, here are the best ones according to their Alexa rank. There are plenty more, but they get such little traffic that its not worth using them. The number to the right of the pay per click site name is their current Alexa rank as of this printing. These do change daily, but shouldnt change too much.

MIVA - 923

http://www.miva.com/

SEARCHFEED - 2,414

http://www.searchfeed.com/

7SEARCH - 4,538

http://7search.com/

LOOKSMART - 4,545

GOCLICK - 5,543

EHANCE - 5,737

KANOODLE - 7,178

http://www.kanoodle.com/

EPILOT - 8,289

http://www.epilot.com/ePilot4/AdvertiseWithUs/landing.asp

Remember though, this is the most unpredictable form of advertising on the Internet. And please understand, this is in NO way meant to be a COMPLETE tutorial on pay per click advertising. There would be no point to it. Each search engine has a help section on setting up your ads so there is no need to cover that here, especially since each one is different. Generalizing about how to word ads and what keywords to choose is also useless because these things change as well. Besides, an ad that you ran yesterday may not work today, depending on changes in the Internet environment.

Yes, you want your ads to stand out. Rich Jerk did a great job on this but now that so many people are using his method customers are becoming immune to his theatrics and all the copy cats hes spawned.

So here is the best advice I can give you as far as pay per click. If you get to step 6 and the product is worth selling, come up with a good 3 line ad (thats all you get) and test it out for 100 clicks. If it doesnt get you 1 sale by click 200, chuck it and take the loss. You dont want to throw good money after bad. Theres a chance that product will never sell because the sales page is garbage.

Dont let anybody tell you its the ad because if they liked the ad enough to go to the site then theres nothing wrong with it. If the ad stunk, people would have never clicked on it. Theres only so much you can do with 3 lines, so dont get ****** into the Its your ad argument. A lousy ad doesnt get clicked on. A lousy sales page, thats different. It wont convert.

Good luck!

The Secret To Profitable Pay Per Click Marketing

Written by ppcmetho on February 18th, 2009

pay per click marketing
Richard A. Martin asked:


THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR…

Imagine you’re at a social event & someone asks you politely what you do for a living. For those of us who spend our time developing websites & marketing them, this is seemingly the LIT FUSE in the powder keg….After they hear your answer, you see their eyes light up & they want to know how to increase THEIR traffic..(It seems that EVERYONE has a website these days…)

The result is always the same: you find yourself suggesting a few tips & when you mention Pay Per Click, you always hear back: “I tried Pay Per Click & I lost my money..!”

Anyone who’s been driving traffic from search engines for more than a few years knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about…As soon as you tell someone that you work online, they automatically make you kind of a “representative” of the online marketing world.

And you WILL hear stories about how people lost their money on PPC…repeatedly.

Mostly, these people merely suffer from an “information deficit.” And it’s this information deficit that keeps their campaigns from turning a profit…

So, if you are like me, you eventually start thinking: “This is too much. I need some sort of PPC ‘tip sheet’ to help them.”

The Same Old Story

However, once you start thinking it through, you realize something. Your realize that web marketing (& PPC alone) is a MASSIVE topic. And there are THOUSANDS of issues related to driving traffic…

Trying to develop a “one size fits all” tip sheet is kind of like a doctor preparing a ‘health tips’ newsletter…While it would generally be helpful, many situations require custom advice….

Similarly, different websites serve different purposes for different targets…and when you add in competition & the occasional overlap of keyword phrases & markets, the layers of combinations, problems, & solutions gets very large, very quickly…(And to boot, depending on who you ask, some PPC markets are extremely difficult to profit from. But, luckily those markets are few & far between.)

However, everyone who is advertising a site through Pay Per Click needs basically the same thing: They want to quit losing money on PPC & start generating traffic at a price that is profitable….

How hard can that be…right?

Well, it IS hard…Especially if you don’t understand the basic mechanics of PPC marketing to begin with. (This is the “information deficit” mentioned earlier).

The Real Secret To PPC

So, what can you do to help these people?

You need them to realize something. They need to realize that a LOT of hard work has already been done for them. They need to tap into some of that data to cure the “information deficit” mentioned above.

This is because every time they launch a PPC campaign, sadly they are trying to blaze a trail that’s probably been blazed before…The top 3 search engines sell BILLIONS of dollars worth of pay per click traffic every MONTH. And someone has surely already tried whatever it is that they are trying to do now…No matter what you are selling through pay per click (or through any other means), someone has already tried to sell (or is currently selling) something similar. And someone out there has lost money trying to get their campaigns to turn a profit.

…If only you could get access to your competitors data, that would be ideal, right..?

Well, you can…The secret is to profit from your competitors’ hard work. To kind of “peak behind the curtains” & figure out what ads work for your market & which keyword phrases are the profitable ones. This is much easier than having to constantly test, lose, & test again…each time losing HUNDREDS or even THOUSANDS of dollars in the process…

There are a MILLION ways to tap into your competitors’ research. And each has its advantages & disadvantages. But, the good news is that from just doing a little extra work, you can shoot WAY ahead of the competition…

Here are a few methods to experiment:

1. Enter your competitors’ URLs into a new browser window (Avoid clicking on their ads, that isn’t polite). Visit their sites & Press “Control U.” Look through their meta tags & note any unique looking keyword phrases you see.

2. Examine your log files…3rd party services & tracking software exist to help discover where your visitors go AFTER they leave your site. Try repeating step #1 on those sites…

3. Track your competitors’ PPC words using a 3rd party service. Look for popular terms that have continual bidders. This is by far the easiest way to stop focusing on unprofitable http://keywords…phrases getting lots of repeat bidders are gold…

For even more sneaky ways, try brainstorming just a little bit. Try combining these tactics. But, do it…don’t just blindly bid on terms…put in a few hours of research & you’re campaigns will be profitable before you know it…

Now, get going & stop losing money on PPC…A world of profitable traffic awaits!

The Pros and Cons of Pay Per Click Marketing

Written by ppcmetho on February 13th, 2009

pay per click marketing
Naman Jain asked:


Websites that wish to attain high traffic to their websites in less time, have resorted to pay per click. PPC campaigns by far, are the most effective search engine marketing campaign that helps in bringing traffic to the website and at the same time it also helps in the branding and promotion of the website.

PPC unlike other marketing processes requires the minimum effort. The only thing that your need to do in pay per click campaign is to find the most relevant keywords to your website on which you can bid in the search engines. The greatest advantage of having a paid campaign is that you need to make changes in your website every time in order to maintain the position of your website. The position of your website will remain the same in the search engines until your campaign is surviving.

The greatest advantage of using PPC campaign in your business, is that they are simple and do not necessarily require any sort of technical training ion order to run the business. Though additional knowledge of search engine marketing is always an added advantage.

Pay per click advertising has been termed as the most profitable form of Online marketing. More so, it has also been stated to be the most effective revenue generating Online business. Search engines that have introduced the service have been extremely successful in increasing their website database due to popularity and also their revenue.

Paid click marketing is an obviously a faster means of getting into the search pages. When compared with the search engine optimization techniques that take a much longer time to reflect changes, the PPC campaigns are swift and prompt.

One of the major drawback of pay per click campaigning is the fear of high bidders. It is primarily a sort of gamble. A bidder who is ready to pay higher than what you are bidding at, will replace your keyword position. One needs to keep tracking the the bids regularly so that no one is able to replace your position.

Pay per click has been threatened by the fear of click frauds, that ruin the entire campaign. For this reason many web marketers are still afraid of bidding on the search engines for a PPC campaign.

I’ve been approached by a business that charges per lead referred to me, not per click and not a flat monthly fee. I think this sounds like a great approach to only pay for new warm leads but want to know if anyone has personal experience (good and/or bad) with this type of approach.

Using Pay Per Click Marketing - the Basics

Written by ppcmetho on February 11th, 2009

pay per click marketing
John Baril asked:


lick (PPC) is one of the four basic types of search engines. PPC remains one of the most effective methods for acquiring targeted traffic to your website. A recent article from Forbes Magazine stated that in 2008 alone, 8 billion dollars will be spent on pay per click advertising.

Below is a basic overview of how PPC search engines work.

PPC search engines create listings which are based on keyword phrases that people are using in their internet searches. Webmasters who are seeking to market their websites will bid against other webmasters for each keyword phrase. Each of these phrases will have a number one spot, then a second and third spot, and so on. The winning bidder for the number one spot will show up at the top of the search for that keyword phrase. The same thing happens for the winning bidder of the second and third spots, and, well you get the idea. Ultimately then, when somebody types one of the keyword phrases which were bid on into a search engine, the pay per click listings will show up first. The pay per click ads will be easy to spot, as they will be labelled as sponsored links. These sponsored pay per clicks will either be in a shaded area at the top of the search result or in a sidebar on the right (and sometimes both).

One other place that pay per click ads will show up is within the Google Adsense system. You will commonly see these on web sites in a separate box with the notation: “ads by Google”. Ultimately then, when someone clicks on an ad, the original webmaster who bid on this ad is charged the bid amount. Depending on the popularity of the keyword phrase, this charge can vary between two cents to a dollar or more.

OK, let’s see how we can use PPC to make money with an affiliate marketing website.

First of all, you can use PPC to send immediate targeted traffic to you site. In this case, you will be one of the webmasters described above who will bid on keyword phrases. Once you have an account with a particular PPC search engine, and you complete your keyword bidding, your ads will go live very quickly (usually the same day). When someone does a keyword phrase search in their favorite search engine, and this keyword phrase matches one of the phrases you bid on, your website will show up on page one (usually at the top) for that search. If the user clicks on your ad, they will be taken straight to your website and you will be charged the bid amount. In this way, you can get almost instant traffic to your website. Keep in mind, however, that you need to have a budget for this method.

The second method that you can utilize to make money using pay per click is by incorporating Google Adsense into you site. Before I continue, I want to clarify a couple of terms for you. Google Adwords is the Google pay per click search engine. Google Adsense is the advertising platform that you see on many websites (and the ads here are pay per click). You can join Google Adsense for free, and with a little bit of work, you can have their ads running in a sidebar on your website. This will be an extra stream of income for you. If a visitor doesn’t purchase one of your affiliate products, they may click on one of the google ads. If they click on a google ad, you will get paid for this click through. Google will automatically place ads which are only relevant to your website. Google Adsense is completely maintenance free once you have it set up on your site. Typically, the people who click Google Ads on your site are not interested in your products so they will leave and never come back. You may as well make a small amount of money from them on the click, before they depart. Typically, Google will pay you between 30 to 80% of the advertisers’ bid amount.

In closing, you will definitely want to incorporate pay per click into your overall marketing strategy at some point. Even though it will cost money to run a pay per click advertising campaign, the pay off should be much greater if you go about it correctly. Additionally, if you want to incorporate Google Adsense into your website, it is entirely free so you have nothing to lose. Good luck with your internet affiliate marketing program.
