Tips For Ad Scheduling – Part 1

posted on: January 18th, 2010

The concept of ad scheduling or day parting is not a new one in the world of PPC but it is still a widely under-utilised tool.  If it’s something that you are considering doing then here are some tips you should read before you switch off your ads or even adjust bids for a certain day or time. Set up the right reports By getting your reporting right you will be able to make an informed decision about ad scheduling.  If you have an account based on leads look at the PPC spend versus the amount of leads generated at a particular day or hour. However if you have an ecommerce website you’ll need to monitor the value of PPC spend against the level of revenue generated. In both cases you should look to analyse the day or time the cost per lead is the highest.  If there are times in the middle of the night for example where the cost per lead is high, bids can be adjusted to reduce within that time span. Select a large sample It is wise to run your reports over a long period of time so you are gathering enough data to produce a large sample size. If you have an account that generates large amounts of leads and spends a lot of money within a couple of months then you may get enough data to make a judgement.  However for most accounts you’ll need to trawl back further. At Click Consult we have plenty of ideas to improve your pay per click campaigns.

Use PPC For A Fast Boost

posted on: November 16th, 2009

Pay per click advertising is a well established marketing strategy for all online businesses. People often are divided about whether they like PPC advertising and whether they consider it cost effective. The key to success in running a PPC campaign is to get as many conversions as possible.  Yes, you are going to pay the PPC company each time someone clicks on your ad so you need to make each click count. Factors to keep in mind To grab the attention of your target audience you must make your ads as exciting as possible. You must make them interested enough to click on your ad with the exact emotional trigger. You need them to not only click on your ad, but once on your website you need them to convert. So you need to word your ad to only attract your specific targeted audience and your call to action must be incredibly strong. Then your landing page must overwhelm them with the benefits you offer. The one drawback to PPC advertising is unscrupulous people using it for click fraud. There are business competitors that will pay people to click on your ads continuously, thus making you waste your PPC budget needlessly. That is why it is important to keep an eagle eye on your click numbers daily. This will alert you if you suddenly get numerous clicks from a specific IP address. When thinking of doing a PPC advertising campaign you are doing so to boost your sales over a short time period. This works great, but you should not neglect your other marketing techniques while you run your PPC campaign. If you are in any way unsure of handling PPC advertising, get an expert PPC company to do it.
