Killer Pay Per Click Advertising in Five Easy Steps

Yahoo, MSN, and Google, with the invention of their pay per click advertising model, also called PPC, have created simple and effective online advertising opportunities. These easy to use systems of advertising have encouraged so many business owners of different sizes to unleash thousands of dollars into online advertising campaigns. But, as often happens online, these PPC advertisers often don't understand just how to create effective PPC campaigns that generate more sales for their companies.
There are many tricks you can use to create killer pay per click advertising campaigns. These five tricks will help you maximize your return on your PPC investment while minimizing costs and generating a solid conversion rate.
5. Display URL. Once upon a time, Google allowed advertisers to put whatever they wanted into their display URL, the website address visible on the PPC advertisement. Now, your ad needs a real URL that everyone will land on when they click on your ad. You can't even use a URL that redirects to a different website. For this reason, your display URL is even more important. Make sure you capitalize the first letter of each keyword in your display website name. For example, my website URL is www.creative-emarketingsolutions.com. When I use that URL in my PPC campaigns, I set the display URL as www.Creative-eMarketingSolutions.com. This capitalizing helps your business URL stand out from the pack.
4. Keywords in your first line of the ad. You only get four lines for your entire ad, and one of them is your display URL. The first line of your ad needs to grab the browser's attention. It needs to set your ad apart from the dozens of other ads out there. It needs to tell the potential costumer, "Hey, I've got exactly what you're searching for."
3. Benefits vs. Features. The second line of the PPC ad needs to explain the important benefit of your services or products. The next line should explain an important feature of the services or products you offer. How is that different? A feature is why that customer should purchase your services or products. A benefit is how your potential customer's situation will get better because of your services or product line.
2. Keywords. Take the time to use Google's Keyword tool to find keywords that are searched for often, but for which little competition exists. The right keywords will determine the prices you pay for your clicks.
1. Ad rotation. Run at least two different PPC ads at the same time. By creating two different ads and running them in competition against each other, you are able to test which messages convert into sales. Don't let Google decide which ad is best. Check in your campaign settings to have your ads shown evenly over time.
You never know what might make a difference in your CTR or click through rate. Sometimes just switching the text in your second and third lines increases your CTR. Different titles convert differently. Different display URL's convert at varying rates. You'll never know until you run a couple ads in competition against each other. Then, when you've generated enough clicks, you can decide which ad works best, drop the losing ad, and create a new ad.
These tricks will help increase your return on investment in the tough world of PPC advertising.
