[T1035]To Play It Safe

by Newt Wayne, New

There are many ways to generate web traffic. Many of them are free. However, free traffic is not entirely free. It will cost you many hours of your life. In addition "Free Traffic" does not always mean "Quality Traffic". Pay Per Click advertising delivers quality traffic and allows you to step into any market within a few hours. But PPC marketing can also be quite risky. How to avoid the risks and what's the best way for a beginner to start?

Paid advertising costs money. The lesser you pay, the higher your chance of making a profit. What you are after is the right mix of product, landing page, ad text, keywords, daily budget and ROI. There are a lot of variables there and if you get any one of them wrong your campaign will fail. How does Google determines the cost of your ads? Relevancy is what it's all about. There are 3 factors to determine the relevancy for keywords when using AdWords:

1 - is the keyword used on the landing page and if so how often?

2 - does your ad contain the keyword?

3 - How often is your ad clicked by people searching for that keyword?

For low costs our ads should be super relevant to the keyword and the landing page. Extreme relevancy can be achieved by using only one keyword for each campaign. Look for a promising keyword with at least 100-150 visitors a day. Use that keyword as well in your ads as in your landing page. In addition use split testing to improve The CTR of your ads. Advertising costs will be as low as possible and visitors will exactly find where they were looking for. Laser targeted visitors, lower advertising costs and a higher conversion are the major benefits of this pay-per-click tactic.

A hundred visitors a day for the search page and with a CTR of may be 5%, your campaign will only result in about 5 visitors to your website every day. Closely monitor your campaign to see if it will be profitable. If not, your loss will be kept at a minimum. Even when on a low budget one can start many campaigns like this.

PPC is all about testing. You'll also find that you need to launch a lot of campaigns and most of them will fail. May be only 5%-10% will be profitable. By that I mean they might not lose money, but the ROI might be poor or you just don't get enough traffic that converts. In the long run, finding some profitable campaigns, providing you with a long term income, should not be too difficult with this method.

Starting a campaign, writing ads and building a landing page for each keyword is a lot of extra work. But when engaging in pay per-click advertising one cannot afford to make mistakes. One has to be at least even good or even better than the competition. One-keyword-campaigns are the most precise way of approaching PPC advertising and the best way for starting on a low budget.

Meeting people online is a fast and easy way to meet potential dates. But it can be a bit intimidating when you plan to meet someone for the first time. You've heard many first date horror stories from your friends and don't look forward to the same experiences. But after weeks of emails, text messaging and phone conversation, you start feeling comfortable and are ready to meet for that first date. However no matter how comfortable you feel, you should always play it safe when it comes to meeting in person.

When you think of a safe meeting place, does your mind go immediately to the old idea of restaurants or cafes? Of course these places are great because they are public as there are lots of people around. And in case your date turns out to be a dud, you can simply finish your meal and end the date early.

But if the typical dinner at a restaurant isn't your idea of a fun date, there are other great places that you can meet where you can feel equally as safe. What about meeting at the zoo where you can walk around and enjoy the animals? The zoo is a great opportunity for amusement and humor. If you meet up at a coffee shop, you can always go for a walk in the park and see some of the local scenery. If you like to be outside, meet at a local skating rink in the winter or a mini golf course in the summer. Use your imagination to think of some great places for a public date.

Besides meeting in a public place, there are some other safety precautions that you should take into account when you are meeting someone for the first time. Always let someone know where you are going and who you are meeting. It is a good idea to give as much information as you can to a friend or family member just in case they need to reach you. Don't forget to include your cell phone number, where you are going, when you plan to return and the name and information of the person that you are meeting. It's not a bad idea to phone and check in with someone as well.

Another safety tactic when you meet someone is to use your cell phone. Always have someone phone you about twenty minutes or so into your date. If you are feeling uncomfortable with your date, you have a way out of it. Just tell whoever is calling to say that you have to get home right away. If things are going well, simply tell them everything is fine.

Even if you are feeling very comfortable, it is probably not a very good idea to go to someone's home on the first date, even for a nightcap. You do not want to be in a situation where you will be alone in unfamiliar surroundings. Play it safe, and leave that for future dates.

Chances are good that everything will be fine when you meet an online date for the first time, but you never know. A little precaution will go a long way in making you feel more comfortable for your first meeting. After all, you'll be nervous enough.
