By MLMAbsolute

Another way of getting traffic is through Pay Per Click Campaigns (PPC). Which is the best site to do the PPC campaign with? I personally use Google, for obvious reasons, it is the biggest search engine

Pay Per Click allows your advertisement to appear when users search keywords related to your website. Your advertisement will appear on the right side of natural search results.

Advertising on Google through PPC is not free, you pay whenever someone clicks on your advertisement. However, the cost of advertising is controlled by you. you can set the daily limit and the per click cost.

Say the amount you pay for per click is $0.10, and the daily limit is $30 the maximum clicks you can get in a day is 300clicks. Assuming your conversion rate is 3%, everyday you will make 9 sale. And if the commission you get per sale is $30, every day you will earn $270 from one website.

Well, this is of course a very optimistic projection.

To score better results with your PPC advertisement, you need to take note of 5 points

You must select your keywords (search terms) for your Google advertisement. If your website is already ranked on the first page of natural search results, you probably do not have to waste anymore money on PPC. You might only want to consider using PPC on search terms that your website which you do not appear on the first page.

There are various tools you can use to determine which Keyword to use. You can go to www.google.com/keywords to search for other popular keywords to use, as well as the average search volume for each keyword. After you chose a few keywords you wish to use, compare it at www.google.com/trends to view which is a better keyword to be used.

The headline is very important to capture readers' attention and make them want to click on your advertisement. Make your advertisement stand out from your competitors.

- Offer

You should try to keep your advertisement short and sweet. Give readers the benefits they will receive if they click on your advertisement. Use action words that will make readers want to click.
