I really wanna do PPC

9 replies
Hello warriors,

I got bitten when PPC came out and now I am a little scared.

My sites convert very well and I think with good PPC I can make some serious money however I want to test the waters first and well I need some help.

If there was a PPC expert out there that would like some extra £'s or preferable free I am young and willing

Failing that some ebooks or just anything so I dont cock it up again!!

Desperate sound I know

thanks for your time

Danny

    Hey Danny,

    I am also trying to make it big in PPC. Did you take a look at ppcformula.com? Go to the blog on that site and check out the free videos and mp3. I am thinking about buying that course. Once we purchase, they provide recorded webinars of setting up a profitable campaign from start to finish.

    Hey Danny,

    There are some simple rules I use which you may find useful:


    1 - Don't spend money you can't afford (sometimes it takes time to get a campaign in profit.

    2 - Make sure you include negative keywords (don't waste money on the wrong traffic)

    3 - Be congruent (set an expectation in your ad and match it with the link - people don't like having their expectations unmet, so make sure you send them somewhere that ties in with what your ad said) I know this is common sense but a lot of people write their ad without thinking of where they're about to send that person and what they want them to do.

    4 - Start big a trim down (make a big keyword list and then trim off what doesn't convert. Sometimes it's the keywords you don't expect that turn into sales)

    5 - Use Adsense to test (it often helps to make a simple blog/site with information and Adsense and track what people click so that they tell you what to offer.

    6 - As per 5 - Track everything so you know what's working (and not)

    7 - Give it a big enough test (don't just send 100 people and make assumptions, but watch your budget)

    8 - Try and get a $50 Adwords voucher, there are a lot of them being given away by hosting companies etc, so you can get $50 of ad credit by spending $5 in many places.

    9 - Learn about copywriting (writing effective ads is more complicated than you might think, so you can start right away but take the time to learn how to do it properly and you'll ultimately make more money)

    10 - Watch and learn. (there are a lot of existing successful PPC campaigns running which you can watch and learn from. There are also tools which will help you do this and also create and run your campaigns on a more effective level. check out SpeedPPC - Pay Per Click Marketing Campaign Building Tool )


    I hope that helps.

    WOW! thanks for that! now thats what I call an answer... that tool is some shillings... I think I might have to wait a little bit for that...

    My online income is good but I cant justify that at present ..lol

    I am planning on promoting carsukforsale.co.uk I did the conversion from BANS to drupal and google seems to love it.... seo is all well and good but takes time.

    from what I remember last time I did PPC I started off with a long list of keywords then as they did not perform google stopped them.

    The vouchers are a good idea I think I will do a search will be good for testing ect.

    Thanks again for the reply

    Ive always been a disaster waiting to happen when it comes to adwords. No matter what i do it seems to go wrong. But you get to the point were you think that if you dont give it a real go then you are missing out on something special.

    So about two months ago i went into it a lot more seriously spent about three days working on it and i must admit it has paid off. I started with a huge amount of keywords and have cut it down to the ones that work for me and even though i wasted money until i got my system working it was worth it in the long run.

    Before i get bombarded with pms i think i wasted about £150 which isnt a lot really compared to how much some people on here have spent on it.

    I would just experiment with small sums f money with a range of keywords until you come up with a long term campaign that works well for you.

    i also get great results from facebook ads which is very similar but can be more specific.

    good luck.
