SEM: Managing Pay Per Click Campaigns

published by Dan in SEO | SEO Strategy with No Comments

How useful and effective are pay per click campaigns? The answer, like anything in SEO, depends on how well managed your campaign is. Pay per click campaigns can be very effective increasing both the inquiries and the conversions of your website, however, if mismanaged you won’t be see much (positive) results.

There are several key things you should know to be able to manage a good pay per click campaign including:

• Keyword selection - The keywords you select is critical for the success of your PPC campaign. Selecting keywords that do not perform well is not that big a problem although it will not maximise your profits for you but forgetting or excluding keywords that would have performed really well can mean a big loss in potential profit. This is why you should carefully do keyword research.
• Pricing - Make sure you do not overbid on keywords. Even if a keyword performs really well and it would make sense to bid a little bit higher for that keyword compared to non-performing keywords make sure you do not bid to high as to sabotage your profits. The first thing to remember is that you shouldn’t be paying more for the clicks than the amount you’ll be getting for sales or subscriptions. Breaking even is also not good at all since you need to make a profit!
