Keep International Campaigns Targeted

posted on: January 13th, 2010

With international markets playing an ever-increasingly important role in PPC advertising it’s time to understand how you can ensure your PPC campaign settings are set correctly to get the best results. Here are some tips from us at Click Consult on how you can optimise your international PPC campaigns: Identify which campaigns in which countries generate the best leads whilst having a low CPL.  You can do this by running a report to show geographic results in AdWords.  Then revise any campaigns that are underperforming and create campaigns for any countries that you have missed. Think about what languages you would like to target.  You may initially opt to select only English.  This will help to keep a high Quality Score and prevent English ads being shown in response to foreign keywords.  This can have a negative impact on the score due to the keywords being in another language to the landing pages and ads. You may also choose to ditch the broad match and opt for target phrase match instead.  This gives you greater control. There is a Google translation tool which can help you to create ads in different languages but you may struggle to maintain control of your PPC message this way and translations are not always accurate. By keeping your ads targeted you have a better chance of getting top results.  At Click Consult, we can help companies of all manner of sizes create focused international and domestic pay per click campaigns.

Teasing Your PPC To Death

posted on: November 19th, 2009

When it comes to advertising, teasing can be a very good thing. That means offering tantalising morsels and glimpses that are completely truthful about your site. What it does not mean is to play on your viewers' emotion, to lie to them, to deceive them or to make false promises. None of those are good when it comes to pleasing the people you depend on for your bread and butter. What you need to do is become less of a false tease and more of a real one. Learning how to tease What many people do not seem to get about pay per click advertising is that the normal tricks of the trade do not work with this specific type of advertising. With other forms of advertising - your website as well - you can tease your visitors into coming to your website or to your store. Once there, your visitors may well find that they are not impressed with what you claimed and what the reality of the situation is. However, they are already at your store or on your website and they are likely to look around at something else to spend their time while there. This is where these mislead visitors can often still convert to sales for you. However, for PPC advertising campaigns, this does not work as well. You need to tease visitors with true promises and true glimpses of what you have to offer them. When they get to your landing page, they need to find what they expected, if not more. To tease them and watch them leave is only going to cost you money for every wasted click. Soon, your bank account will be empty and you will not have any more sales than you did before you started your PPC campaign.
