Pay Per Click (PPC)

Identifying Ways To Meet Your Monthly Budget

posted on: August 9th, 2010

If you had the chance to work with an unlimited PPC budget wouldn’t it be just wonderful? Yet as all pay per click campaigners know this is just a daydream and working to budgets is a fact of life. If you are projected to stray over your budget at the end of the month here are some tips to keep you on track: Tip 1 - Find the search engine causing an ‘issue’ Most PPC campaigns are run on Google, MSN and Yahoo and it can be a common mistake to focus solely on the top spending account, which will invariably be Google. However, by focusing on Google you could overlook a bigger issue elsewhere. If a search engine is taking up just 10 per cent of your budget, it is a significant amount of money to lose if there are no leads being generated, and that account should be tackled first. Tip 2 - Drop daily campaign budgets Look at all your pay per click campaigns and highlight those that are reaching their daily limit. Tackle the ones that are converting least and slash the daily budgets. You don’t want to cut them too much so take time to work out the savings you are likely to make. Tip 3 - Analyse by Cost Per Lead By looking at the top CPL level you can identify the big problems that are eating into your budget first. Use the interface to search for campaigns that have a large monthly CPL. At Click Consult we can help you get the best out of your PPC campaigns.

Why Affiliate Marketing Is Popular

posted on: June 1st, 2010

Affiliate marketing is immensely popular with many businesses primarily due to its low cost. A merchant will only have to pay for a resulting action such as a sale or referral, whilst other forms of media advertising such as Pay Per Click are very expensive and do not guarantee results. Alternative forms of advertising can also take a considerable amount of time to perfect, such as the writing of advertisements or articles. You will also be able to recruit affiliates globally, which will give a viral effect with your brand being advertised widely all over the world. The global reach of affiliate marketing is huge with positive consequences for you, the merchant, all at very low cost. Creating an affiliate web marketing program is akin to having your very own sales team, but instead of you employing them and the sales team only working certain hours, your team will be actively advertising your merchandise twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You don’t have any of the employment issues that a regular employer would face as the affiliates are responsible for their own tax liabilities, with no extra work for you. Of course, the affiliate program will have to be managed to some extent, making sure the affiliates are paid promptly and other routine tasks which can take up a large proportion of your time. Outsourcing to a professional company such as here at Click Consult will enable you to reap the rewards of affiliate marketing while we take care of the affiliate program for you.
