Transcript of The Advantages of Pay Per Click
The Advantages of Pay Per ClickPay per click advertising is one of
the most popular and effective forms of online advertising today. Aside from
being accessible and easy to use, it offers marketers many advantages
that make their job a lot easier while yielding amazing results. To fully
appreciate pay per click advertising, one would have to experience it to get a hands-on feel and taste of just how
powerful it can be.
What is Pay Per Click?
Pay per click is an online form of advertising wherein the marketer or
advertiser only pays for each time the ad is clicked.
The whole objective of pay per click is to lead the user to your company’s
website where you can engage them with engaging content and
calls to action.
With Google, marketers typically bid on keywords that are most relevant to
their market. Whenever these keywords are typed during a search, your pay per click ad then appears in
the search engine. Google usually charges a fixed rate per click, rather
than implement a bidding system.
Cost and Targeting
For starters, pay per click advertising is much cheaper than other forms of traditional and online advertising. In the short term, you pay much less as
people are still discovering your website. Only when traffic to your
website has increased through word of mouth should you reconfigure your pay per click settings so as not to pay for
more click than is necessary.
Secondly, pay per click allows for refined targeting, which basically means you can narrow down your
search by refining your target audience. This might be through age or geographic location. By making the appropriate adjustments, you only pay for meaningful clicks by
people who you have deemed likely to make a purchase based on your
parameters.
Testing and Reinforcing
Third, pay per click allows you to test any ideas you might have before your
product or service even exists. It enables you to create an ad and get an idea of how popular it is by the number of clicks it receives. This obviously provides a much more
affordable method of testing than a focus group discussion or simply
taking a risk without testing would entail.
Last but not least, pay per click advertising works great as a
reinforcement tool for well-established companies. Given
that you are already ranking high in all of the search engines, adding a pay per click ad to the mix will ensure that
your company maintains that top position in the listings, so that people continue to see it and click on it. In a
way, it does work as an online sustaining advertising campaign.
