How To Make Sure That Pay Per Click Advertsing Is The Right Choice For You
Topics: Pay Per Click, web marketing, conversion rate, Internet marketing, search engine optimization
It is not merely a rule of thumb but a foundation for various business models on the Internet: Your web site either receives traffic for free through so-called ‘organic’ search engine results and linking strategies or you simply have to buy traffic. Free search engine results are sometimes being called organic as they are untainted by commercial pricing and conditions.
If your website is to be found among the top-ten search engines results for a competitive term like for example ‘Hawaii rentals’ on MSN Live Search you have to beat 20700000 other web pages that Live Search has listed in its index for this keyword (retrieved in January 2008). This is not an easy task – and that is why buying instantaneous traffic from a Pay Per Click Program is such an excellent online marketing technique and wonderful business for the providers alike.
Pay Per Click (PPC) describes an advertising method in which advertisers pay each time someone clicks their ad. The major PPC systems include Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing Solutions and MSN adCenter, all of which place PPC ads along with their search engine results and their network of website as well. The cost per click can range from some 5 Cents to as much as 50 USD and more, depending on the competition for that particular keyword. If clicks are very expensive, the cost might eat up your complete margin and hence render this online advertising tactic impractical.
Cost is the obvious disadvantage, while advantages include that is very quick and reliable to generate traffic (literally minutes), which is on top easily measurable. Measuring results is crucial to determine whether a PPC system can be profitable for your website:
The key metrics to understand are conversion rate and breakeven click value. The conversion rate is the proportion of casual visitors to your website who become paying customers. A conversion rate of 2 percent would mean for example that 2 out of 100 visitors buy from your site. The breakeven click value then is the maximum amount of money you can afford per click in order not to loose money.
At this point it is simply a numbers game to determine if Pay Pay Click Programs are feasible for your website or not. And this obviously is also determined by the nature of the products you are selling: The higher the value and margin of your products, the higher the breakeven click value and thus, the higher the likeability that PPC system do make sense for you.
