PPC Information

Pay per click-(Also called cost per click)

PPC is an internet advertising model used to direct traffic to websites, in which advertisers pay the publisher (typically a website owner) when the ad is clicked. It is defined simply as “the amount spent to get an advertisement clicked.”
With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system. PPC "display" advertisements, also known as "banner" ads, are shown on web sites or search engine results with related content that have agreed to show ads.
PURPOSE
Pay-per-click, along with cost per impression and cost per order, are used to assess the cost effectiveness and profitability of internet marketing. Pay-per-click has an advantage over cost per impression in that it tells us something about how effective the advertising was. Clicks are a way to measure attention and interest. Inexpensive ads that few people click on will have a low cost per impression and high pay-per-click. If the main purpose of an ad is to generate a click, then pay-per-click is the preferred metric. Once a certain number of web impressions are achieved, the quality and placement of the advertisement will affect click through rates and the resulting pay-per-click.

CONSTRUCTION
Pay-per-click is calculated by dividing the advertising cost by the number of clicks generated by an advertisement. The basic formula is:
Pay-per-click ($) = Advertising cost ($) ÷ Ads clicked (#)

There are two primary models for determining pay-per-click:

1-     Flat-rate
2-     Bid-based

Flat-rate PPC
In the flat-rate model, the advertiser and publisher agree upon a fixed amount that will be paid for each click. In many cases the publisher has a rate card that lists the pay-per-click (PPC) within different areas of their website or network.
Bid-based PPC
The advertiser signs a contract that allows them to compete against other advertisers in a private auction hosted by a publisher or, more commonly, an advertising network. Each advertiser informs the host of the maximum amount that he or she is willing to pay for a given ad spot (often based on a keyword), usually using online tools to do so. The auction plays out in an automated fashion every time a visitor triggers the ad spot.
The following steps are important when launching a PPC campaign:
ü  Industry Analysis
ü  Target Audience
ü  Keyword Research
ü  Landing Page Optimization
ü  Campaign Structure
ü  Ad Copy (which is the text you will use)
ü  Campaign Settings
ü  Statistical Analysis
ü  Bid Management
Main two points are very important for PPC:
1-    Keyword Optimization
2-    Landing Page Optimization
Keyword optimization (also known as keyword research) is the act of researching, analyzing and selecting the best keywords to target to drive qualified traffic from search engines to your website.

Keyword search optimization is a critical step in initial stages of search engine marketing, for both paid and organic search. If you do a bad job at selecting your target keywords, all your subsequent efforts will be in vain. So it’s vital to get keyword optimization right.

Landing page optimizationOnce a user lands on your page, your message must match the offer. So the optimized keywords that were present in your ad text, must be present on your landing pages.

Ideally, you’ll be promoting a website with high-quality original content that’s well-structured and user friendly. This will allow the customers that you deliver via PPC campaigns to easily make a purchase or navigate through the website.
Unfortunately, you’re not always faced with the ideal situation, and sometimes you’ll need to tweak the landing page to deliver the most returns to your clients. Make sure that the main keywords you’re targeting for any given ad group are contained in the page title and within HTML heading tags.

Each landing page needs to:                                                                                              

ü  Effectively communicate the product or service with which you’re trying to engage users
ü  make it easy to take the required action or business goal with as few clicks as possible
ü  contain original content relating to the product or service
ü load fast—remember, page load time is a factor in determining quality score and ad rank

In short, the landing page should communicate what your offer is and why it’s relevant to the visitor. A good test is to ask you, “Can a visitor understand the key benefits of this product or service in less than ten seconds?” If the answer is yes, chances are your landing page is on the right track.
