INTERNET MARKETING

I'm getting ready to began using PPC.

But not on my own, I am outsourcing it for a PPC firm.

I know the basics of it, but I don't have the time or energy for it, so that's why I'm going to let another company handle it.

I've got a list of 8 companies.

What questions should I ask the PPC firm before I hire them?

  I've always been curious about the strategy of outsourcing PPC. Is the cost covered by the profit? Any guarantees? Anyone with any success with this?
  
  Thanks

"Capone" - I can tell you PPC really works. But the problem is you need to have some bankroll to test the market. Not all products will be a winning product, not all keywords will be a winning keyword.

Even trademarks keywords, not all of them have a good conversion rate.

But I can tell you PPC really works.

Before you hire anybody...I'd really recommend you get a good grasp of PPC for your own edification.

Here's why--PPC has too many reasons things can go wrong to just turn it over to someone else, and if you don't know how to find the holes in a leaking ship (bad campaign), it is easy to be sold on why it's draining your bank account (which may or may not be accurate.)

Spend some time really getting up to speed on PPC first, before you hire someone, in my opinion, then hire away--you'll be better prepared to pick a good company/person, plus you'll be able to smell a rat.

And there are a lot of rats out there.

Forget PPC and save your money. Try CPM.

I've went thru both Commission Blueprint and PPC Classroom and both programs gave great info on PPC. Plus be sure to read Perry Marshall's book. That was a great help and was free!! Thanks library!!
