2. Search Advertising
Search advertising helps you reach targeted leads that will be
funnelled to your website instead of your competitor’s.
How does it work? When someone searches for keywords
specific to your business, your site will appear high up in
the paid sponsors’ section of the search engines, directories
or other advertising portals. This means that visitors
searching for your products or service can easily find your
business, resulting in an increase in targeted traffic to your
site – people who are interested in purchasing your offering
– immediately.
3. Pay-Per-Click is Only Cost Effective if
You Do it Right
In comparison to other marketing methods, pay-per-click
can be a very cost effective marketing technique to build
volume to your site, provided you are doing it
right. Anyone can buy keywords and drive large volumes of
traffic to your site but if that traffic leaves as soon as they
get there because your offering isn’t relevant to what they
are looking for, then you’ll end up wasting a lot of money
(remember you pay per each click).
