[P129]Pay Per Click Optimise

by Scott Lindsay, Sco

What that means is you can decide how you want to use Pay Per Click and when you want to use it.

Pay per Click is a feature of two companies, Overture and Google Adwords. These firms allow you to bid on targeted advertising. The more money you are willing to spend in PPC advertising the more often your advertisement will come up on higher ranking websites. The price you bid is the price you pay for every visitor to your website that was directed through Pay Per Click.

You could pay for the management of your PPC advertising, but with a little research you should be able to manage your own account without too many difficulties.

When you sign up as a client for PPC you fill out information about what keywords or phrases you are seeking to target. You also devise a brief advertisement generally consisting of text only (this text can be altered at any time). You also include the web address you need the PPC link to send customers to.

Strategies for experienced users of Pay Per Click allow you to place your bid based on the Return on Investment (ROI) performance. This allows for ad price adjustments based on the purchasing performance of your visitors.

Some PPC clients will maximize certain time frames and turn off advertising during other parts of the day. By doing a little research and conducting some initial micromanaging many PPC customers are finding they are better able to increase their ROI.

If you are concerned that there may be more potential clients that will use PPC it is possible to place a cap on the maximum clicks you are willing to pay for in a day. When that click count is reached the ad is removed from circulation.

If the idea of PPC is new to you it is possible you may wonder where these ads are placed.

Your PPC ads will show up on potentially hundreds and even thousands of websites that provide information or services on the keyword or phrases you've chosen. These sites have elected to place these ads in exchange for a commission on any PPC that originates from their site. This commission is managed by the PPC company you are dealing with and is not an added expense to you.

For many web owners this is a win-win situation. They are confident your product has a tie to what they offer and when someone clicks on your link the web owner gains some residual income. In some cases that income more than pays for the costs associated with operating their website.

With pay per click affiliate programs you need a website of your own in order to participate. When you join these types of programs, they require you to add some HTML to your website. What this does is put different text, or banner test ads on your site. Then when someone clicks on one of these ads, they will be taken from your website to a different site. The way you make money is when someone actually reads the ad, and clicks on it. The advertiser is spending money on that ad, and you get a small portion of the ad revenue.

One thing you need to realize is that you will need to learn how to get traffic to your site. If you don't know how to do that you will not make any money on pay per click affiliate programs. Traffic does not mean "hits" that are generated by search engine robots. It means real visitors or unique visitors. People who will actually read the ad, and click it.

There are all kinds of ways to get traffic to your website. There are free, paid, short term, and long-term advertising ways. To learn how to do this, you need to educate yourself on how to market your website. Do a search on any major search engine for internet marketing courses. You can also find ebooks, or a mentor to help you learn how to do it. However, this is a must if you want to make any money with pay per click affiliate programs. Without the right education you will not get anywhere.

So what are some good pay per click affiliate programs? The first one is Google Adsense. I am sure that you have heard of it, but if not here is how it works. You need to have a website to place their ads on. You also need to be able to provide good unique content. If you can provide this content, you will start building traffic to your site over time. Google is one of the biggest search engines on the internet. So they already have a huge network of advertisers.

Another good one to use is SearchFeed. This is similar to Google Adsense. The one difference with this pay per click program is that you can choose which keywords you want to target for you ads. They also have different ad options that you can use. You need to decide which ones would work better for your website. Check it out to see what different ways you can make money with this program.

Then there is the Yahoo pay per click affiliate program. Their program is called publisher network. To be able to participate in this program, you need to have a couple of different things. One of them is a valid US social security number or a tax ID. Your website also needs to be targeted to people in the US, and majority English. If you have all of these, than you can participate in their program.

There are a lot of good pay per click affiliate programs out there. You just have to do a search to find them. I have only given you a few of the bigger ones on the internet. These are by no means the only ones. Pay per click affiliate programs are a great and easy way to make money. As long as you have a website to place their ads on, and you know how to drive traffic to your website. So learning about and using these types of affiliate programs will definitely be to your benefit. Just make sure you take the time to find out about the affiliate program, and educate yourself so you can make money with these types of programs. Believe me, you will be more than happy that you did.
