The success of Keyword Advertising / Search engine advertising, often referred to as Pay-per-Click (PPC), is based on the fact that potential buyers recognize your portfolio and offers when they ask/search for sth. That is what it is all about - The consumer will find exactly what he`s looking for, which is YOU. As a merchant who operates online you seriously need to take this into consideration.
Although theory sounds simple (you just need to set up your keywords on the most relevant search engines programs like Google AdWords, Yahoo Search and MSN), the following critical aspects need to be taken into account:
- Definition of goals (traffic, email registration, bookings, orders, ...)
- Transparency of cost (cost per sale, cost per registration, ...)
- Desired return on investment (ROI)
- Know-how and technical expertise
- In-house resources vs. Outsourcing
These aspects not only ease the measurement of your performance but also the elaboration of the perfect balance for your overall performance marketing mix.
