It doesn’t seem very hard to implement pay-per-click or “PPC” advertising into your website marketing plan does it? You decide on some keywords, write your ads and watch your business soar. While it’s true some internet marketers will be very successful instantly, many others lose money because of the lack of strategy involved in their PPC campaigns.

The major search engines such as Google and Yahoo! will allow you to place bids on keywords to drive traffic to your website, for a fee “per-click”. Yahoo!’s program asks for a non-refundable deposit, a minimum click bid and a minimum monetary amount you have to spend each month. Google’s AdWords requires you to pay an account activation charge and a minimum per-click bid. Normally, the highest bid will get the highest position and you will be charged only when someone clicks on your ad, leading them to your website.

Pay-per-click advertising can be great for your small business website marketing strategy, but while it can take only a few minutes to set up a campaign that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t put more thought into it. Make sure to choose very highly-targeted keywords that are popular enough to get some good traffic without depleting your budget within a day. If your intention with this website marketing strategy is to have your visitors take some sort of action, or opt-in to something once they reach your website, it’s imperative to track the leads and sales you are getting at the keyword level. You have to know which of your keywords perform and which don’t so you can get the most out of your advertising spend.
