The simple way to Publicize Your Pro Photography Business Online Part 2 of 3 PPC

We saw in the first article that there are many strategies to generate clients online. These are:

1. Generic listing in the search engines like Google
2. PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising
3. Paid ads in online websites and directories

In this article we'll look at the second of these techniques.

PPC Pay Per Click

This is the way Google makes its income! You find a keyword that you would like to rank for and you place an attempt to see if you can 'win ' the right to have your ad placed on a Google page. Depending on how competitive the term is, could pay anything from one or two pence to many pounds. The advertisements will appear on the right hand side of the search results for the Google screen. It is critical to recollect that if somebody clicks on your advert then you have got to pay Google, even if you don't get a sale from the click!

Although it is easy to setup and start a PPC campaign, it is worth doing some web research first to be sure that your money is wisely spent. By selecting a less competitive terms, you will get more clicks for less investment "more 'bang for your buck ' and do not forget to set a sensible daily budget or you will go broke fast.

The most important thing to remember with PPC work is to check your ads. It's possible to run different advertisements based mostly on different wording and also to change the landing page where the clicks first go to. By replacing only one or two elements of this 'landing page ' you can increase the conversion rate for your campaigns. Here are a few key points:

• Keep the page free from other distractions and debris
• Remove any navigation links that permit the visitor to move away from the page
• Prove a clear 'call to action ' ie tell them clearly what they have to do
• Explain what will occur when they follow this action
• Use Google analytics to track your different campaigns and change them based on the results you get back.
