Pay Per Click Management (PPC Management)

Many search engines, such as Google and Yahoo!, use a bid-based method for keyword-related ads to be displayed on search results pages. These are regularly called pay per click (ppc) ads. These are small, unremarkable text ads on the side or top of the page. These ad links do not make as much traffic as organic search results, but some research has indicated that the quality of traffic may be advanced. So combine a Pay Per Click Services with a search engine optimization campaign can be a powerful combination.

Running a keyword ad campaign can be costly but complicated. We will work with clients to come up with a strong list of keyword phrases to goal and then manage the ad campaign to maximize its go back on investment. It's not sufficient just to be the top bidder for any particular search phrase. If no one is searching for that phrase, or if the phrase targets the wrong market, you will receive few clicks. Often, a ppc ad does not win the top position exclusively based on having the highest bid, but by a grouping of bid and click-through-rate. If your ad is badly written and generates no clicks, your ad location will fall even if you are the high bidder. That's why ppc ads should be suspiciously constructed, and special ads should be created for different keyword phrases.

There's a strong chance your keyword ad campaign could contain hundreds or even thousands of search phrases. Managing all of that can be a terrifying. That's where we come in. If you don't have the inside resources for ppc management (and don't want to stay up all hours of the night doing it yourself), call Work Media.

pay per click ads are very popular now days where the ads are displayed on the google search results and when any person clicks the bid amount is deducted. I hope combining a ppc campaign with a search engine optimization campaign can be a powerful combination that brings the effective results.
