The Internet has created the most exciting new ways
to obtain understanding the world has ever seen.
Unfortunately, there are about a billion web sites
on the net.
A web search could be
a nightmare if you have to dig through
tons of dirt to find flecks of gold. Some internet page
creators
even add
"phony" keywords (that have nothing to do with
their content) into their page
so theyll appear on every
search listing. Its a waste of measure
, effort and money.
How do you get past those "cheaters" and get people to your
site when they absolutely need it? By using a "pay-per-click" [PPC]
site, a search engine that goes straight for the gold.
"Pay-per-click" means you pay an branding fee to be listed
with them. You choose keywords or search phrases that describe
your site contents. In return, when a customer searches with
a PPC engine, the PPCs advertisers are on the top of the list.
Research has shown that the top ten sites on a results list
are clicked through 3 times more than all others combined.
These are the people who actually want the info, products
and services you offer.
Suppose your visitors
doesnt increase? You may adjust your
keywords until you have something that works for you.
Want even better accomadation
? Some PPC sites call themselves
"pay-per-performance" meaning they guarantee youll get
responses because youve paid a higher fee for a higher
listing. The most popular keywords are auctioned off, and the
high bidder may pay several dollars for each click through.
But these are the keywords that are creating the most
results, so your marketing dollars are still well spent.
Some PPCs are tightly controlled, limiting the number of sites
linked to any keyword, or reserving keywords and phrases to a
small number of clients. Some even have evaluators that review
each page
to guarantee that keywords match page
content.
With this class of PPC engines, when someone clicks through
to your web page
, you know you have a serious prospect.
The cost on PPC sites is usually only a few cents per click
through, and might
represent the best selling
money you will
ever spend. That doesnt mean you only spend money on PPC
branding. Some PPC engines allow you to earn funds
by
referring other website owners to the PPC.
You may earn a commission on every accomadation
they purchase, or
you may earn a few cents for every customer who clicks through
to a page
you referred. If you refer a lot of sites, its
possible that your income will be more than what youre paying,
and youll be branding for costless!
The Internet has become so big that its like standing in the
middle of the Library of Congress trying to find a single book.
Let pay-per-click put your potential customers right in front of
your pages.
