PPC Beat is the place for information on Pay Per Click Advertising

Archives for September, 2009

Anyone knows which marketing/affiliates websites will be ok with paying them per lead or per action rather than per click?

Secured loan leads pay about $250 per lead.

I’ve applied SEO techniques in designing websites with Yahoo Site-builder and have had great success. The only time my site didn’t come up on the first page of a keyword search is when we paid for a sponsored appearance with that search engine. The site came up first on all other major search engines except the one we had a sponsored position with.

The following is one of the myths as given out by StomperNet in their 7 Deadly SEO mistakes e-mail course. I believe the same applies to all search engines.

Myth #5: Buying placement in Google Adwords will help your organic placement.
The REAL Truth: Nothing could be further from the truth!
There’s this little group in Washington D.C. called the Federal Trade Commission that is charged with protecting consumers from fraud and to keep companies from engaging in unfair trade practices. These are the same people that successfully stopped Microsoft from using operating system dominance to take over the web browser market.
For Google to allow Adwords to aid in organic placement would not only be a lie to consumers, but would also serve to extort money from web businesses.
Of course, I’m not a lawyer, but there are some Google board members who are!

Hope this helps.

My friend artist asked me (he does not speak English) to find out if there is a free specialized website where he could place his portfolio and add AdSense or Yahoo ads to make some additional earnings, except blogs. Thanks for your answers

Hi There!

Now, I’m probably going to get yelled at for telling you this (by other users who have had no problems with AdSense) but when I started up my website I was really disturbed by the Intellectual Property Rights clause that google has in the agreement. I’m not sure what context it was in for the website you are looking to build, but for my google would’ve actually owned the copyrights of my artwork. My mom is an attorney and she looked it over with me - I was uncomfortable putting it on my website.

I’m really sorry to rain on your parade and please just check into it before you put AdSense on the same page as your artwork. I would go to websitebabble.com and ask your question there. It is a forum of webmasters that might be able to help you with this question where I can’t.:-)

All The Best,
Lexie

Will I be able to clear it in one go ? Though I have total 5 yrs of work exp. in diverse field please guide me with necessary details if you are a GAP certified professional.

Why not..
you sure clear it..
you are having five years of exp from that field..you try it..

I am currently looking into Yahoo, Google and Myspace. Has anyone had any experience with them? Know of anywhere else I should look in to?
If it matters, the site I am working with is video game related. Thanks.

The best is still Google. Yahoo is better than MSN adcenter. Although Google is more expensive, the quality and quantity is good for PPC marketing.

The other search engines give significantly less traffic and it’s probably not worth the effort.

I’ve not tried My Space yet.

PPC management companies?

I’m looking into getting a pay per click management company to manage my Adwords account. My question is, what is the normal monthly management fee that I should expect to pay? I currently have 280 or so keywords spread across several campaigns.
Thanks.

There are a couple of pricing models out there but your question can’t be answered accurately without more details e.g. what niche are you competing in? are your landing pages optimized for a great quality score?
The most popular pricing model is the "percentage of ad spend" and most charge 15% + setup fees.
I would try to stay away from super cheap offers like "flat fee $99/mo" as you’ll most likely not get great results.
I know that http://www.trivalley.com in California charges 20% but they are doing something right as they have some high end clients.
Happy hunting!

I have searched all over the internet for the absolute best offer.
So far the best I found was at http://moveto.ws/dh55t2k8g
Anyone know of a better deal?

What affects on how much money I get per click? I know it’s something about keywords, but which keywords are most effective? And is it true that english adds make more money than other?

Making maximum possible money with AdSense depends on three factors:

- Maximizing your CTR (Click through rate)
- Maximizing the targeted traffic
- Maximizing the pay per each click.

The techniques you follow to maximize your CTR can not only increase the user responsiveness but also increases the targeted traffic.

Let’s see what Google AdSense Engineers has to say about AdSense CTR:

"Due to the dynamic nature of Google AdSense, fluctuations in your revenue will occur. Your earnings will depend on a number of factors, including the types of ads being served to your pages, the cost per click or cost per impression of these ads, and your users’ click through selections. Regarding ad placement - the best ad format varies from page to page. We’ve observed that, in general, wider ads perform better because of their reader-friendly format. We strongly recommend putting your users first when deciding on ad placement. Think about their behavior on different pages, and what will be most useful and visible to them. You’ll find that the most optimal ad position isn’t always what you expect on certain pages."

What should you do to increase AdSense CTR?

Webmasters have very diverse views on how to increase CTR. It largely depends upon the the quality of its content, keywords you are targeting, design and layout of your website, placement of AdSense ads, page optimization and various other factors. Generally, AdSense blocks wrapped between the quality content works the best. For the websites having poor quality content, placing the Ads before the start of the content works best.

*Quality Comtent: If you develop a poor quality content website, even if you have high CTR and clicks, you will be getting low priced ads and also nobody will like to add your url to their favorites. But if you have quality content, that keeps the visitors glued, even if you get a little low CTR (not that you will), but you will be getting high priced ads and regular visitors, too. So the bottom is concentrate on providing quality content that provides value to your visitors. For AdSense, quality content is the king.

*Proper Ad Positioning: Proper positioning of ads on your website has direct impact on your CTR. Change the location of the ads and watch changes in your CTR regularly. Try to locate the area of the page where the focus of the visitor can be. Generally, AdSense ads near the quality content or other crucial areas like navigation bar tend to perform better. But it really depends upon the keywords you are targeting, and the traffic you have.

* Right Ad Formats: As the Google engineers say, more user friendly ads, more widespread tend to do better than towers and others. But you have to decide what work best for you based on your site layout, design etc.

* Right Ad Colors: The colors you use for your AdSense Ad Units also affects the CTR. As a rule you have to use those color that will make the Ads look like an integral part of your content. Blend in colors are often recommended. For more information see our article "How to Optimize AdSense Ad Colors"

Tweak and Experiment

Experiment and experiment a lot, till you are satisfied with the tweaks you have done to achieve highest CTR. Track your page performance by making channels of ads in your AdSense Control Panel and experiment till you are satisfied with your CTR. Though, each such experiment will make you loose money for a day or two, as Google may take time to adjust with new changes, but it will be beneficial in long run.
