Other Added - Pay Per Click Marketing - Does It Still Work
As part of a series of articles on how to survive as a small retailer, this article is about the decision to refit your store.Most stores, large and small, will be refitted at some time or other. Refitting is carried out for a variety of reasons, including the following:1. The fixtures are getting grubby and are in need of refurbishment or replacement 2. Inevitably products will have changed over time, rendering the existing fixtures unsuitable 3. New merchandising ideas have come along that promise greater sales and or profit, warr
Just so we all are on the same page, let’s look at the basic goal of PPC campaign. It’s all about the conversion rate. That’s how many products you sell per the number of visitors (200 visitors and 4 sales gives you a 2% conversion rate).
You need to determine if the keyword cost will pay through on the revenue generated by the sales (exam
Over time, concrete sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, and other structures will begin to show their age. Cracks, uneven pavement, crumbling, and loose joints are just a few of the visible problems that will occur. This is due to water damage, stress and strain, and the movement of the earth. Cleaning and resurfacing concrete structures is important, especially in areas that receive a lot of rain. Using water blasters to do concrete repair restoration are becoming more popular for many reasons. Since concrete is coated with a water resistant substance tha
Buying traffic via a Pay Per Click can be a viable way to get instant-targeted traffic. And a few years ago it was quite cost effective. It was fairly easy to hit a 4-6 times pay through (spend $100, sell $4-600) on a well-designed campaign. Now it’s tough to get 2 or 3 times your investment back.
Why is it so difficult to get a good payback now? There are several factors that can have a huge impact on results.
Competition – There are many more advertisers and web sites now vying for the same keywords Google Arbitrage – This is mainly an Adsense ploy to buy clicks to create higher paying Adsense clicks Affiliate Sales – These are folks who advertise products for others and make a commission on the sales Google Crack Down – Google has realigned their algorithms to insure more accuracy in search results Google CTR Factor – If you don’t get a good ratio of clicks verses views, your cost goes up
Also throw in the fact that you need to write a short ad (25 characters for the headline, 35 for the two lines of copy) that gets clicks, and find keywords that are very target driven before you even get to the cost.
These factors have all caused the price of a keyword to skyrocket. If you look at a basic $35 digital product and below price level, it’s getting pretty tough to make a profit on high cost keywords. And consider the fact that many web sites sell a physical product that may only have a 50% markup, this can get real ugly if your campaign is tight (low return).

This awareness to signs allows these leaders to think both creatively and strategically.First, what makes an exceptional leader?

Many of you are in businesses where a customer’s credit history is an important piece in the qualifying process. The social security number is just as essential as the name on the application. But what do you say to increase the likelihood of receiving that increasingly important “444-55-7777”?After building a bridge of rapport with your customer, asking questions to dig for the true needs and hot buttons, and summarizing your understanding - you are ready to receive permission to look at their credit. Don’t even bother unless you have earned the ri
Just so we all are on the same page, let’s look at the basic goal of PPC campaign. It’s all about the conversion rate. That’s how many products you sell per the number of visitors (200 visitors and 4 sales gives you a 2% conversion rate).
You need to determine if the keyword cost will pay through on the revenue generated by the sales (example: if each click costs you .35, and your product sells for $35.00, and you only convert 1 in 100 - you will lose money). Keep in mind that you will normally pay 2-6% to your payment processor so even though $35 is paid you only net $33 or less. So if you spent $35 on 100 clicks, you just went backwards.
Which means if you have a $35 product, you need to convert at least 2 out of 100 to make a profit on the campaign. Several years ago it was very possible to stay around .05-.25 per keyword click cost. Now it is much more difficult to find keywords below the .30 and many times it’s much higher than that.
There are other means to improve your conversion rate. A well-written and effective sales pitch can increase sales. Running promotions, offering special incentives, and offering solid value helps too. I know people who get a 6% conversion rate so it is possible to have a larger budget for keywords.
I also know people who have no problem spending $1000 to make $2000. If you look at it in a pure business sense, you’re doubling your money. But if something goes awry, or Google makes a right turn and you still go straight ahead it can get darn expensive.
I know folks who are spending $3-4,000 a day on their PPC campaigns. And they are at least doubling and more the return on investment. But the sad thing is they used to spend $1-2000 a day to make the same amount of money. So in many cases the cost has doubled, the profit remained the same.
This does cut a lot of people out of the game. Between the high dollar costs and the lower return, many won’t or can’t risk that type of money. And learning how to find the right keywords, and then write an effective ad is
