Pay Per Click Advertising Generates Targeted Leads
Pay Per Click (PPC) is a form of targeted Search Engines and Internet Advertising that allows your company to bid for ad placement on certain search terms. With Pay Per Click, advertisers are charged a predetermined amount each time a visitor clicks on the ad and is taken to the advertiser’s website.

When planning an Internet advertising campaign, some of the factors that our PPC consultants take into consideration are as follows:
What is the Your Primary Goal of Your Campaign?
- Leads, Sales, Brand Building?
How Do You Define Pay Per Click Advertising Success?
- Online vs. Offline Sales Conversions
- Steps on the path towards sales conversion
How Do You Measure Success?
- Google, Yahoo, and (soon) MSN Conversion Tracking
- 3rd Party Web Analytics Tools (Hitslink, WebTrends, Webside Story, etc)
- How much the phones are ringing
- Hybrid reporting approaching using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
PPC Conversions
Your ability to afford a click is based on your ability to improve success metrics
(typically conversion).
Where you send the click is at least as important as how you buy the click.
- The second part of the PPC campaign is the landing page
- Do segments expect different experiences?
- Should you be personalizing?
Post-click Behavior
- Use cookies to track delayed purchases
- Sales lead software/funnel
- Lifetime customer value
Pay Per Click Advertising Campaign Budgeting
- Reality check: daily budgeting technology isn't perfect, it usually underdelivers or overdelivers. Use projected distribution/clicks to spread your budget across 24-hour period
- Google is set up for daily budgeting
- Yahoo defaults to monthly budgeting, but daily budgeting is available (we don't use the daily budgeting feature if you're on credit card
payment terms) - MSN will allow daily caps on a monthly budget
- Most Tier II engines are monthly budgets
