Allen D Thomason asked:
PPC or Pay Per Click is an advertising form used in blogs, websites, and search engines. In this model, the advertisers pay only when their ads are clicked by the users to visit their bog or site. The advertiser or website publisher lists a set of specific keywords that describes his content best. When the web users search for the same topics by typing same or similar words in the search engines, then this query matches the advertisers list of keywords and his/her ad appears on the same page.
These ads are generally are termed as sponsored ads or sponsored links. The revenue generated from these links goes to the providers as and when the ads are clicked. Therefore, the cost incurred in this model is from pay per click, is the basis of revenue generation in advertising in internet marketing.
Google AdSense, MSN AdCenter, Yahoo! Publisher Network are some popular advertising networks that help publishers to put relevant ads that matches their search engine queries. The minimum prices per click begin from US$0.01. However, this model is more vulnerable to click fraud if reputable and renowned search engines are not engaged in the process. Google, Yahoo, and MSN have automated fraud protection techniques to prevent such click frauds.
Optimizing the PPC campaign depends on the nature and strength of the blogs and websites. Micro tracking of keywords often helps to enhance the indexing of sites in the search engines. Often website owners tend to overlook keywords that are weak and rarely used. Rather than dropping them, the best way is to accommodate these keywords in some way that relates to your content. This will optimize the search results and your ads or links will never be missed from any search result hunted by the web crawlers.
Many prospects enter the internet not knowing which are the products or services they would go for. They are indecisive about their choices and preferences in spite of sharing similar tastes that your blog or website projects. Therefore, if you are targeting only those who have researched and ready to be your customer there is a high chance that you lose out a section of targets that indeed had strong potential to become future prospects. Therefore, a good marketing strategy is to target people in almost all stages of their buying cycle- those who visit just by accident, those who know exactly why they have come to you, those who are the typical shoppers and are more or less decisive about their actions and lastly the window shoppers.
Do not ever forget dormant clients who could actually contribute to PPC optimization after taking much time to decide what they should do. Therefore, advertising should always be followed by a period that incorporates the chances of visitor latency.
To optimize your revenue from clicks you should also be sure about the return you get from investing on each keyword or key word phrase. Calculate the maximum ROI that you obtain from your chosen keywords. These keywords should be given equal importance to other keywords that has low return but generates more traffic.
Your ad copy should match the keywords perfectly so that visitors know that you deliver exactly what they are looking for. You should also develop plans to guide your buyers through the marketing maze in decision-making and action taking. Ads not only promote your business just by attracting traffic towards your blog/site, they should be deigned in such away to persuade visitors to act on your terms .i.e. terms that are more favorable to bring success in your business.
In summary
PPC Advertising flat works, but chart the waters carefully. Make the click flip your revenue side up. This is where PPC is optimized to support internet-marketing efforts.

Way back when overture came up with pay per click advertising, a trend started. Lot of search engine companies introduced the PPC program. But they could not make it impressive. However Google with their adsense program get hold of the market. As their search engine was most popular, they captured the market quite easily. Based on the market response Yahoo launched their contextual advertising program. MSN will also be starting their program. Chitika developed on similar concept but their format is different which will make their program popular.
The bloggers are quite happy with the Chitika program. They have given the unique spin by combining the tabbed structure, which gives the user facility to check the specification, review of the product, pricing and search option. Lot of bloggers are quite happy and promoting the program.
I applied the program and they approved it within 24 hours. Their response is quite fast.
Similarities between Chitika & Adsense
Both have contextual mode. The ads will be based on the content of the page. Both offer search options. The business model is advertising on the website on revenue sharing basis. The webmaster will get the money based on the no. of clicks. You can have different colors for background, border.
Difference between Chitika & Adsense
Chitika can work in non-contextual mode. In this mode, you can specify the keywords and ads will be displayed based on the keywords. Right now stats are updated once per day. But in case of google, you get real time stats. Google has smart pricing structure. Because of this, if you are low in search engine results, you will get few cents. However the top results sites will get much higher rate.
Results with Chitika
Many bloggers were able to get 30 – 50% higher returns with Chitika ads compared to Adsense. Some of the bloggers could literally double their revenue with Chitika. Again it depends on topic.
I think, it’s time to try Chitika on your website. However please check out Chitika tips to get the maximum returns.
