Tracking PPC Data
September 11th, 2008 by Alan
A lot of people shy away from PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising because they have read horror stories about how it costs a lot of money and generates less than favourable results. While this is certainly true in some instances, managed properly, a PPC ad campaign can generate a lot of targeted traffic and it really doesn't need to cost a fortune.
Bid management and performance benchmarking are two aspects of PPC advertising often overlooked by the amateur and good skills in these areas are what separates the professionals from the amateur services. As well as tracking the data, it is vital to know how and when to act upon that information.
Before you start a PPC campaign it is best to gather existing data that you might have regarding average sales figures. Throughout your ad campaigns you will need to ensure that the final bid price for each of your ads does not stray above the average profit per customer. If this happens then your PPC advertising is not only ineffective but it is costing you money.
Some ads may require time to bed in, but acting in a timely manner to those that are losing money is vital. It's possible to improve the performance of unprofitable ads by reducing click prices, improving ad copy, and ensuring the landing page is relevant and optimised to convert visitors into customers. Always track the changes you made in order to ensure that they were effective and also to determine the effective and ineffective methods of PPC advertising and bid management.
