Online marketing is popular with PPC (pay-per-click) advertising. PPC advertising is something that you have probably seen, even if you don’t know it.

Take a look at our PPC Services

Below is a screenshot showing which search engine results are naturally occurring and which ones are paid. This is due to Google’s Ad tags.

These ads are part of a PPC marketing campaign. They are designed to get users to click on them and go to their websites.

Google does not know which ads to show when you type in a long-tail keyword or a short-tail keyword.

A brief overview of PPC bidding

The object of an auction is to outbid other bidders. Others in the room may have different opinions about the table’s value.

The highest bidder will win the item. This is also true for PPC advertising.

When you create a PPC advertising campaign, you’ll be asked many questions. One question will be asked: What price you’re willing to pay to have your ad clicked? It is difficult to tell if your proposal will be less or more than another bidder for the same targeted keywords.

Advertise on PPC to people looking for phrases such as “Buy antique clocks Vermont” or “Vermont antique clock sellers”. Pay 20 cents per click to place your advertisement.

After doing some experimentation over the next two days, you discover that your ads aren’t appearing very often. Google knows that each click will bring more money so their ads will appear more often.

Do that make sense?

Pay attention to the original ad and you can change the bid amount to a higher level. Just like at a brick-and-mortar sale, your budget shouldn’t go bust.

Another option is to say you will pay Google $1 per click. This could help you appear more frequently. However, it is possible to increase your marketing budget in smaller increments to reduce the need to spend too much on one campaign.

How can you improve your PPC bidding skills?

Get to know PPC bidding better and be able to decide how high to bid to get the exposure you want. 

Pay attention to your analytics and create reports

You might want to review your PPC campaign analytics at least every other day. If your campaigns are producing a lot of junk clicks it is time to end them.

Too broad keyword targets are a common cause. People may click on your ads even though they don’t want to buy your products.

Advertising can be combined with sales or events.

These are great ways to reach potential buyers immediately. If you have a close sale within three days, a PPC campaign can quickly be launched.

You also have the option to set a budget for the PPC ad you wish to run. It will help keep your bids under control and your budget in check.

Update your bids, especially for high conversion

Did your conversions on PPC ads increase? Perhaps you are tempted to spend more because you know that you will get a good return.

Take immediate action if conversion rates start to rise. You can always lower the price.

PPC is a powerful tool for getting your company noticed online. If you bid correctly and consistently,
