Pay per click (PPC) marketing is essentially the display of a website as a search result on a search engine or other content website. These results are often displayed as ‘sponsored links’ at the top of the page, affording you a better ranking than what would have been organically achieved.

What makes pay per click advertising much different from other advertising methods is that you only pay every time a users clicks on the ad. The goal of pay per click advertisements are to increase the visibility of your website on the web and attract more visitors to your website.

What to look out for

Marketing is an expensive exercise, and as with any other form of marketing pay per click advertising must be managed correctly in order to maximise performance. It is vital to choose the keywords correctly when setting up your pay per click ad.

Try to think what a user would search for when looking for your product or service. Be specific in order to avoid masses of people visiting your website and finding it irrelevant to what they were searching for. Attracting the right people is key in pay per click advertising.

Pay per click marketing offers many management tools in order to ensure that you do not go over your budget. Most pay per click programs can also produce very informative reports about the visitors to your site.

Use these reports to establish whether visitors are translating into sales. If this is not the case your ad should be reviewed in order to ensure that you are attracting the right customers.
