Best method for PPC on a budget

15 years ago

Paul,

I would highly suggest using PPC banners instead of PPC Text. There is less competition, the results still come in, sometimes even better, the only con is, it takes longer to rach a visitor goal.

However, top keywords $.10 on banners compared to $1.50 on Text

Thanks

This may be a great idea. Adwords is a beast. It will take you for every penny you put into it if you aren't careful. Take it slow. Try to target buyer keywords.

That's a good Idea, you should maybe also consider targeting phrase match if your getting few impressions.

When I create an ad campaign I almost always only target USA, UK, Canada and Australia.

in my opinion, if you know your target audience and you are on a very tight budget I would go with Facebook ads or atleast give them consideration. You can geo target down to a zip code, you can age/gender target and all on a CPC. def worth a look.

I would recommend going for long tail keywords that the buyers would use in their searches.. yes you should target exact demographic as well as turn off context advertising... As far as adwords is concerned, try to save every penny as it is easy to blow one month's advertising budget in a day.. And one more thing, do not forget to split test your ads...

Good luck

Thanks

Start with banners and if you decide to go into text ads, make sure you use long tail keywords.

Only problem with Facebook is that it doesn't convert!

I agree with the general consencus here, go for long tail keywords and banners! Use exact and phrase match and use broad very sparingly.

Obviously, you'll need to keep the ad groups incredibly 'tight' by ensurting highky targetted keywords and ad copy only. You can also run ad scheduling but you may miss a whole lot of potential customers unless you know your target market comeons online at specific times.

I've done $800 in profit a day off of $200 spend on FB. I'm glad some of my competitors feel it doesn't convert. I mean, why would it? You only have access to 250m people broken down by demographic

Alright smaty pants, How the heck do you get any ads approved in FB. I've tried numerous times, but my ads always get denied, I can't figure out what the hell they're looking for? Also, are you doin affiliate or CPA offers with FB?

That's really strange. I just started advertising with facebook yesterday. I made my first ad last night and it was approved when I woke up this morning.

Did you read the "rules"?

Hey nettech,

Facebook converts bro, trust me. It's just a pain to get ads on it, and you really have to know your target demographics in order to get it to work. Sorry for semi-hijacking here. OP: As suggested, try doing some banners on the google content network otherwise target very specific long tail keywords, usually you can get those on the cheap.
