PPC Advertising
PPC advertising in Atlanta can bring in a lot
of business. In fact, in some cases it is a necessity if a company
is to bring any visitors and hence potential buyers to a website.
Many Atlanta-area
businesses spend a lot of money on websites that are dynamic
and attractive but few take into account that their site was not
built with the search engines in mind. Search Engine Optimization
(SEO) is a technique that can help a website naturally rank at the
top of search engines. To account for this, many companies now use
Pay-Per-Click advertising.
Pay-per-click
advertising is one of the hottest trends in advertising. In
the 1990s, this form of advertising was restricted to banner ads,
which quickly bored Internet users. The latest version of online
advertising is to have text-based ads which is intuitively makes
more sense (and more cents!).
An Intro to Pay-Per-ClIck Management
This is how it works: Suppose your store or company
sells flowers. Demand for your product increases at certain times
of the year such as Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and the Christmas/New
Years holiday season. As such, more people will be looking to buy
flowers online during that time (just as more people will be buying
them at traditional brick and mortar stores).
To increase traffic to your website and take advantage
of the increased demand, you sign up with a PPC publishing company
and bid on keywords. Note that this is different from hiring a company
(which are listed below) to take care of it for you (which is frequently
a smart idea). The two biggest PPC publishing companies are Google
(Google Adwords program and Yahoo (Yahoo's Overture program). For
example, if you bid on the words "Chicago Flower Shop"
then your ad will appear at the top of the search engine results
page as many times as possible, as long as your budget can afford
it. You could pay anywhere from 10 cents to a few dollars each and
every time someone clicks.
One of the drawbacks to this form of advertising
is that as you soon as you stop paying, the sudden spike in website
visitors disappears. Also, PPC can become expensive and is frequently
too costly for smaller companies which is why Search Engine Optimization
saves money in the long run.
While PPC campaigns can be run by non-professionals,
they can become quite complex depending on the number of keywords,
competition, pricing and so on. As such, it is frequently recommended
that PPC companies handle the campaign. Typically these companies
take a percentage of the budget as payment or ask for a flat-fee.
Experience with PPC management can help.
Lastly, many web design companies as well as advertising
agencies run PPC campaigns on behalf of businesses. It is simply
another form of Internet marketing. If you cannot find a company
