Keeping A Watchful Eye With Pay Per Click Tracking

April 30th, 2009 by

When you are involved with a PPC campaign, it is important to keep track of the traffic flow to and around your website. This is because you are paying for the traffic and will need to optimise the campaign to increase the return on investments (ROI).

PPC tracking for optimisation

In order to maximize your return on investments, be sure to know the flow of your traffic. You may achieve this with the use of third party website tracking tools. Some are free online tools but will have certain limitations. For comprehensive tracking and reporting, a good PPC agency can take care of tracking, monitoring and adjusting your PPC campaign to maximise your ROI.

Generally these programs will show the user the number of visitors gained, the average number of page views per visitor, visit duration, most popular pages, popular landing pages, possibility or bounces, exit pages, visitor path and the source of the traffic both geographical location and from which links they come from.

With this information, you can optimise your PPC campaign accordingly so that you can try to aim for as many profitable clicks as possible. You may want to add content to increase the visit duration to further convince the user of your products.

On the popular pages you may want to update regularly or add media that would catch the viewer's attention or try to convert the potential buyer into really buying. Look for bounces and the source of the traffic to optimise the webpage or the advert to ensure relevance. Finally, target keywords to traffic in specific geographical locations and increase the targeting or certain keywords to get more valuable traffic.
