Search Match Or Content Match PPC Ads
September 19th, 2008 by Alan
When using most PPC programs there are essentially two types of advertising that you can embark upon – search match or content match. Both can generate excellent traffic results for a website when managed properly. Targeted visitors that are poised, ready to move to the next step in the marketing or purchase process.
Search match ads are those that you see on the side and at the top of search engine result pages, usually tagged as being sponsored ads. You bid on keywords that users search on and when somebody does search using that keyword your PPC ad is displayed in the position your bidding secured.
Many of the search engines and advertising networks also have a program for website publishers to monetise their own traffic. A publisher can place contextually relevant advertisements on their own pages and be paid every time a visitor clicks on one of those links and visits the resulting page. This opens up the PPC market so that advertisers are able to gain increased exposure for their ads and subsequently drive more targeted traffic.
PPC advertising requires the right balance of cost per click and return on investment. The more targeted and responsive the visitors that are generated through a PPC campaign, the greater the level of profit per visitor and the greater the return on investment. By carefully managing both search match and content match PPC ad campaigns, each of your web pages could be enjoying large levels of incoming traffic at reasonable prices.
