Using Pay Per Click Marketing

The main benefit of pay per click marketing is how in a relatively short period of time, the amount of traffic a web site receives can be increased dramatically. For a while now, people have been using this technique as it is clear this type of marketing comes out far ahead of other methods of advertising. Many internet users will see the ads but don’t fully understand how pay per click works so below are listed a few hints to make this easier to grasp.

The concept is simple; by placing a text advertisement with a link to your site on a larger website that is very busy, you can direct traffic to visit yours. Very simply, you will pay the site (that the traffic comes from) a small amount from your account but only providing the visitor stays more than 10 seconds. There are a couple of pints to remember about this: your advert will be related to the subject of the site it is being used on and these sites are generating huge amounts of traffic. However this is not the only advantage because you only pay for the advertising when it is used, which means if someone doesn’t visit your site through the link you do not pay.

Unlike regular advertising which you pay for whether someone takes any notice or not, this way you pay for what gets used. Some people are worried about competitors clicking to run up their bill or lose them from the screen completely but in practice this rarely happens. Pay per click is one of the most targeted types of marketing available which means it is extremely cost effective for businesses that often lose a great deal advertising to those with no interest in their product. People who see your ad are already interested in the product or service you are promoting.

There are a number of these pay per click programs available but it is Google who have captured the market with their Adwords system. Your small ad will show up when people search on Google for a phrase or term that you designate. Next to the natural search results, you’ll find that your ad shows up along the top or on the sidebar.

These instant results cannot be beaten in any other advertising medium and it is that attracts pay per click customers. Many companies use this technique to gauge how good their advertising copy will be before they use it in more expensive areas. This is a simple and easy system to understand that is incredibly powerful and effective at the same time so it is not surprising that almost all companies use pay per click search marketing.

Unlike search engine optimization, which can fluctuate according to the search engine’s whims, pay per click marketing is the only guaranteed way to reach a top listing for any given word. Most most businesses and marketers will use PPC as a dirt-cheap way to do keyword research for the longer term SEO campaigns.

Use Article Marketing to Create an Avalanche of Online Traffic

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
by Mark Hall

New methods of getting traffic to your site are being devised constantly but article marketing is still the best way to drive visitors without having to pay anything out. Articles can be used for almost anything on the Internet from social networking sites to blogs and each one can contain a one or more links to your main website. The best place to submit articles is site where you know they have a great deal of traffic every day; an increase in visitors to your site should happen quite quickly. Top sites are also viewed by search engines as authority sites so it is to your benefit in many ways to have your content accepted; you will become a ‘trusted’ person which means a great deal in the virtual world.

Article marketing carried out regularly can bring fantastic rewards as people begin to see you as an expert in your field. Showing people you are knowledgeable on certain topics means they will trust whatever you write and bookmark your site. Incoming links to your site from people that trust your work will boost your ranking with the various search engines; the benefit of this is there will be an increase in people that find you through the search engines. Links from other sites (especially if they are popular) just improves your ranking and exposure; the greatest benefit of this is none of it is costing you a single dollar!

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page. When other internet users find your articles good, they tend to insert them into their own sites with all the back links to your site which just helps its ranking. Unfortunately you cannot normally expect your site to be listed straight away with the search engines. The process can be speeded up a little if the sites where the articles are submitted are popular and you continue to write and submit articles.

The content on your website is what brings the search engines and hence visitors so therefore part of your article marketing campaign should be to continually add fresh content to your website. Bear in mind that when people visit your site, they are unlikely to want your product without learning more about it. The majority of visitors are just searching for more information about something. This is the ideal time to highlight the benefits of the product or service to the visitor. This a little like taking them by the hand so they know what they are buying and most importantly, why. By doing this you are securing any order you make and will receive less refund requests.

If you want visitors to your websites then you must continue your article marketing this way; regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. Remember, if you have an interesting site you will also receive links from other website owners who may also use your article as well; having your articles on numerous sites just improves the exposure of your site. Article marketing is still by far the easiest way to drive traffic to your website and it doesn’t cost a cent; all you have to do is ensure your content is ‘on topic’ and unique to have constant visitors.

Search Engine Marketing - What is Search Marketing?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008
by Terry Stanfield

If you run a business that operates on the Web you’ve probably heard that you need to do some search marketing but you might not know what search engine marketing is. Search marketing is the process of getting listed higher on search engine result pages so that your website is more visible to potential customers. Studies have shown that people are most likely to click on the top three or five sites listed on search engine result pages and probably will never look at the other pages that are listed. So you need to get your site listed on those pages in order to increase web site traffic that you need to really be successful. You can use search engine marketing to get your website listed higher on search engine result pages and get more customers.

Traditionally there are three different ways that you can use search marketing to get a better place on the search engine result pages. You can use SEO content or search engine optimization to make your site show up higher on the search engine result page or you can use ad placement or ad inclusion in search marketing. Paid placement ads are also known as pay-per-click ads and paid inclusion ads work in a similar fashion although they are different than paid placement ads. Most businesses choose to use the search engine optimization method.

In order to get great results when using search engine optimization to increase your search result page status you need to make sure that the SEO content you put up on the website is original and uses the keywords or key phrases that are related to your business the right number of times. If you use the keywords too much then the search engines will think you are stacking your webpage with copied content and your site will be dropped to the bottom of the list. If the keywords or key phrases are used too little then your page will end up not being on the first page of search engine result pages and if your business isn’t listed on the first page you might as well give up because chances are very high that no one will see you website.

Search engine marketing might seem sort of difficult to figure out at first but it’s just a necessary part of doing business on the Web. It would be nice if your next YouTube video went viral and millions of people found your website but unfortunately you can’t count on that. But if you learn more about search marketing and use a lot of search marketing to drive customers to your website you’ll see you a large increase in the amount of traffic that your website gets. And since the main thing that you need to be successful on the Web is to increase web site traffic, if you can successfully use search marketing you will start to see great results for your business in no time. Search Engine Marketing is really the best way to get noticed on the Web.

Top 10 Tips for Video Search Optimization

Thursday, May 1st, 2008
by Mark Robertson

All have heard about the online video phenomenon that is hitting the internet. Viewers by the millions are going online to upload and watch online video content each day. Often, videos are a more effective way to convey an advertiser’s message than typical offline advertising. And because video is becoming so mainstream, the cost to create online video content is extremely low and affordable for almost anyone. Online video has seen massive improvements in the past 2 years with regard to broadband connectivity, streaming, etc… Keeping in mind the vast popularity of online video as a method of internet marketing, it is important to learn the techniques most effective for optimizing your video for search engines.

1) All SEO specialists know that the search engines are built to index and rank text. Being that it is more difficult for the search engines to understand the content within a video (though they are working on it), it is a good idea to include as much text surrounding the video itself if possible. One excellent way to do this is to include a text transcript of your video alongside your video with keyword rich title and descriptions.

2) Don’t forget to encode the keywords you are targeting into your video. Try to use the word “video” as much as possible, make sure the word “video” is used in your title, description, meta data etc.

3) Just as with normal techniques for SEO, it is just as important that you develop links to your video for off-page search engine optimization. Try to get as many quality links to your video as possible. Perhaps submit to social bookmarking sites and friend’s blogs.

4) Create a video sitemap exclusively for your online video content so that engines can find all of your videos and understand the structure of your site more easily. This helps the web crawlers to locate your video files speedily and effortlessly.

5) If you are hosting the video on your own site, it is advisable to do your best to utilize a player that is not flash as search engines have difficulty understanding flash content. That being said, it will be difficult to empower video on your site without a simple flash player. If you can not get around it, do your best to take advantage of the other SEO techniques since search engines cant understand the flash technology.

6) It is advisable to optimize the URLs of your video pages for the search engines with the help of mod_rewrite function so that the pages are freely assessable by the search engines.

7) More than anything, I have learned that the thumbnail that you choose for your video is one of the most important factors in terms of the number of people that choose to view your video. With that in mind, try to experiment with various thumbnails until you have a good idea which images attract the most views from the audience that you are targeting.

8) When hosting videos on your own site, keep your videos one per page and put all the pages with videos into one directory. This combined with a video sitemap will help search engines find and index all of your important videos.

In addition to the specific optimization techniques listed above, make sure that you also follow some common guidelines for online video content:

9) Keyword research, as with search engine optimization for other online content, is crucial for targeting the audience you desire most effectively. Use keyword research tools available in order to identify those words that most often are searched for when searching for related content online.

10) Allow users to submit comments and feedback on your videos. Studies show that viewers who offer feedback are those most likely to convert and take the desired action that you are trying to solicit, whether it be an email, website visit, or purchase.
