Filed under: Pay Per Click (PPC) Glossary by Alan @ 11:32 am

ROI, or Return On Investment, is in no way a term that is solely used in PPC marketing but it is a term that is applied to Pay Per Click. The ROI of a PPC campaign determines how much money has been spent on a campaign and also determines the financial return of that investment in order to calculate whether a specific PPC campaign proved to be financially viable and profitable. This is essential for businesses because it helps to identify whether PPC has proven an effective form of investment or not.

Determining the ROI of a PPC campaign requires the careful management of a campaign as well as the recording of important data and statistics regarding a campaign and the resulting traffic. This is an important stage in the cycle of a PPC campaign because it can also help to identify areas for improvement, detail those keywords that are ineffective, and reinforce any PPC marketing techniques that you have employed during the establishment and management of the campaign.

It can prove difficult to closely measure the exact level of ROI with some forms of online marketing, but with PPC the process is considerably easier. Each click through that you receive from a PPC ad will cost you a specific amount of money, determined partially by your maximum bid price, and by consequently tracking that visitor and the action they take while on your website it will prove possible to ascertain whether that click results in a sale. Obviously, for true figures, ROI should be calculated over much larger data sets than an individual click but this information can be monitored and tracked over any length of time.
