Killer Pay Per Click Advertising in Five Easy Steps

By: Darren Barkett

Google, MSN, and Yahoo have created amazing advertising opportunities with their pay per click advertising models. Their simple systems have encouraged thousands of businesses to dump countless millions of dollars into their online advertising campaigns. The only trouble is that far too many people don't know how to effectively create powerful PPC campaigns that convert into leads or sales.
Creating effective PPC campaigns can be simple. Below are five tricks you can use to be well on your way towards powerful and effective pay per click advertising campaigns.
5. Utilize your Display URL correctly. Google used to allow advertisers to display whatever URL (website address) they wanted as long as the advertiser had a legitimate landing page URL. No more! Now, you need to have a real URL that links directly to your advertised website. This makes your display URL all the more important. Capitalize the first letter of each keyword in your URL. For instance, my website, www.creative-emarketingsolutions appears like this in my PPC campaigns: www.Creative-eMarketingSolutions.com. It draws the eye and looks sharp in your ad.
4. Keywords in the fist line. The first line of your ad should have your most important keyword phrase in it. When you get only four lines of advertising for your ad including your display URL, the first line of your ad is the best chance you've got to grab the potential customer's attention. Your first line should grab attention and set your ad apart from all the other ads out there. It should tell the person searching that you've got exactly what they are looking for.
3. Benefit vs. Feature. The second line of your ad should have a benefit of your product of service. The third line of your ad should be a feature. A benefit is how your potential customer's situation will improve because of what you are selling. A feature is why that customer should purchase your products or services.
2. Keywords. Well researched keywords will make the biggest difference in your pay per click campaigns. Use Google's free keyword tool to select the best keywords by discovering which keywords are frequently searched for but have little competition. Keywords determine much of the pricing you pay, so do this step right!
1. Ad rotation. Run at least two different PPC ads at the same time. By creating two different ads and running them in competition against each other, you are able to test which messages convert into sales. Don't let Google decide which ad is best. Check in your campaign settings to have your ads shown evenly over time.
You never know what might make a difference in your CTR or click through rate. Sometimes just switching the text in your second and third lines increases your CTR. Different titles convert differently. Different display URL's convert at varying rates. You'll never know until you run a couple ads in competition against each other. Then, when you've generated enough clicks, you can decide which ad works best, drop the losing ad, and create a new ad.
These tricks will help increase your return on investment in the tough world of PPC advertising.
