All About Ad Words

Pay Per Click marketing, known as PPC is here to stay. For some people the world of PPC is a nightmare that they do not even want to touch (or is a reality that they lost so much money on they will never dream of trying it out again). For other people PPC marketing has been a god send that bring them in thousands of dollars every single day.

It’s amazing that this marketing method can create such disparate results.

The king of the PPC world is Ad Words … also written as Adwords. So what is the difference between the Ad Words winners and the PPC losers? What makes one person an internet millionaire and another a pauper? The difference between the two is very simple actually. Success or failure with this marketing technique comes down to one thing: Education.

Now I am not talking about a college education here. I am talking about an Ad Words education. An understanding about how and why PPC works. You see there is an absolute right way and a wrong way to utilize PPC marketing. Being able to quickly identify whether or not the product you are promoting will play nice with Ad Words is crucial to success. The first thing you should do is a real simple sniff test … metaphorically that is.

Let’s assume for a moment that you are promoting an affiliate product. Let’s call it Product X. Now you think that Product X is pretty cool. In fact you might even think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but guess what? That does not matter. It does not matter what you think about the product. The product might even be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but that does not matter either. Do you know why? Because it turns out the commission on Product X is only $15.

Google Ad Words Is Not For Small Commissions!

Google Ad Words is not a friendly system to affiliate products that pay out small commissions. The average conversion rate for most affiliates is only around 1%. In other words only 1 out of every 100 people who click on your ad will actually go on to purchase the product you are promoting. Even if I was going to be generous and say that you were able to get clicks for .40 cents each (with some work you might be able to get it down this low, but that is not all that likely) it will still cost you $40 to get 100 people to view your ad and out of those 100 people only 1 person will make the $15 purchase.

So what’s the Ad Words campaign end result? A LOSS of $25.

What’s the moral of this story? It is very simple actually. Whenever you are evaluating a product to decide if you should market it using Ad Words the very first thing you should look at is the commission on the product. If the commission is less than $30 the chances are that you will never make is profitable using Ad Words.

Adwords Google – More Thoughts On PPC …

Do you know why I love PPC marketing? Because it is FAST! I have no patience, I guess you could say I am kind of an instant gratification guy. Do not get me wrong, I am not opposed to do hard work to get the results I want, but if I have the choice between taking a slow meandering path to reach my goal, or a quick straight shot that will get me where I want to go 5 times faster … I am taking that quick short shot.

And that is exactly what Adwords Google is. It is a PPC marketing system that will catapult you to success far faster than you could ever reach it if you focused on stuff like SEO. You see the primary problem that all Internet marketers face is traffic generation. It does not matter how great your pitch or product is if you are incapable of getting it in front of prospective customers. Adwords Google solves this little problem for us and it solves it EXTREMELY FAST. Why?

Because we pick the search terms that we want to target, we pick the ads that we want to run, and we know that those ads will be seen be our prospects … it’s virtually garuanteed – of course just because your prospects will see your ad does not mean they will click on it or purchase anything from you – but that is not the point. The point is that we KNOW that our message will be seen. After that it is up to us to capatilize on that visibility.

Adwords Google does not guarantee you sales, it does not guarantee you conversions, it does not even guarantee visitors to your site … what it does guarantee is that your ad will be visible to a whole lot of people. This means that we need to spend a lot of time structuring our ads in such a way that WILL increase our chance of landing sales, closing conversions, and getting website visitors. But how do we do that?

First you need to think about your niche. What kind of people are in this niche? Who are they? What is their life like? Why should they buy into whatever it is that you are pitching. To be able to capture an audience in Adwords Google you must first be able to think like that audience. Everyone has a problem. Everyone has a need that they want to have filled. It is your job as PPC marketer to speak to that need and tell those prospects that you have a solution to their problem. That is what the purpose of your PPC ad is.
