The trends in internet marketing has been shifting but one method still remains to be the most effective form of online advertising – pay-per-click or PPC marketing. PPC marketing works by sending banners, email campaigns, and now, Google Adwords and Yahoo! Search Marketing to different websites and driving direct traffic to your website. As limited space is allotted for these marketing techniques, using the right keywords and words in order to grab the attention of the right people is a must. As it is, you need to be selective of the keywords and words that you use. Below here are some tips in choosing keywords to use on your PPC campaigns:
1. Bid for keywords which are closely relevant to your website, product, or service.
As tempting as it is to bid for all the keywords relating to your golf accessory business, from PGA tours to Tiger Woods, keep your keywords that are relevant to your business like golf shoes, golf balls, or golf clubs.
A link is not a link unless it sends the traffic to more profitable pages. Create a landing page for each keyword you bid on and offer something useful on that page to make the searcher stay like a mini-course, tutorial, teleseminar, or a free ebook. Just remember that they must be related to your service or product.
3. Filter your traffic.
You might be pleased about how many people visit your website daily but keep in mind that most of these are just curious clickers. You can choose to opt out of Yahoo and Google’s non-search traffic so you can direct your focus on traffic that is actively searching for what you are offering.
4. Use RSS autoresponder or email in delivering freebies.
This ensures that you stay in contact with prospective customers. Remember that people who click on your link are already interested and intrigued about your business; you just have to reel them into making a purchase. You cannot do this if you let them go after the first click.
5. Deliver value into their inbox.
In the email you send to potential clients, state that they will be included in your newsletter or blog updates. Make this offer as persuasive as possible by pointing out how these updates or newsletter can benefit them. By developing relationships, you do not only get customers but repeat clients as well.
