The Pros and Cons Of Using Google Adwords...
For many webmasters, Google AdSense has become a great source for generating revenue. Since the program pays the
webmaster every time a visitor of their website clicks on the ads that Google displays in their web pages, this has
become a truly viable and profitable option to earn a living online. As a matter of fact, there are countless webmasters
who have dropped their day jobs so that they could focus on the AdSense program.
They build dozens and dozens of
websites, all of which carry their AdSense code, hoping to generate amazing earnings from such an approach. After all,
if one website can generate $25 per month (a low average at that), how much could 100 websites be able to produce for
the webmaster? Others are picking up regular checks from google as a nice source of residual income.
But success with the Google AdSense program depends on threee critical factors:
1. Cost Per Click (CPC) attached to the ads that will be displayed;
2. Page impressions, or the number of people who will actually visit the website; and
3. Click Through Rate (CTR), or the ratio of people who will then click on any of the ads vis a vis page impressions.
The CPC can be approximated by checking out the going rate of the keyword to be targeted before building a website. The
resource that can be found at www.adsensearena.com is an excellent tool to help anyone in determining the possible CPC for
certain key search words or phrases.
The CTR can be improved by arranging the AdSense blocks in a manner that would make them look like organic parts of the
website and its pages. The look and feel and overall positioning of the Pay per Click ads should not be underestimated.
But page impressions can be a little more difficult to achieve.
Page impressions are actually equivalent to what is generally known as web traffic. Web traffic, of course, refers to the
volume of users who manages to load up a particular page of your website. It has been said that traffic is the lifeblood
of any online venture, and this couldn't be truer for websites that earn via Pay Per Click (PPC) programs.
Simply, the success of your Google AdSense campaign will depend on the volume of traffic you'll be able to
generate for your website, or websites.
You could try a lot of marketing tactics, but often, these strategies take time to take effect. Additionally, each and
every competitor of yours would be trying out the same techniques, and there is no real guarantee about how much traffic
you could generate from them.
========SIDEBAR========
Affiliate, Article and Internet Marketing in general isn't as easy as many would have us believe. I fully understand
(through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier said than done. However, you are here, right now, because you
have a desire to improve your business, grow your business, and be more successful. These articles are here with
the sole intention of helping you to make the whole process a lot easier.
======END SIDEBAR======
This has led many webmasters to try out PPC advertising for their own PPC earning campaigns. The way it goes is that they
will advertise their websites through Google AdWords. Google will then display their links the way it displays AdSense
ads. The webmasters who decide to take this route would then have to pay Google every time a user clicks on the ads that
lead to their websites.
How do these webmasters earn their revenue?
Most of them build websites that are exclusively made up of AdSense ads. Hence, whenever a user is led to their pages,
he'd have no choice but to click on the relevant ads that appear there.
There are some webmasters, on the other hand, who rely on the strength of their content. They use
AdWords to expose their websites to people, hoping that those very users would love what they'll see and they'll keep
coming back every now and then.
There are pros and cons to this strategy, however. Let's take a look at the advantages first.
You will attain guaranteed traffic.
You will attain highly targeted traffic. Since your visitors will be composed of people who are interested with the
subject of you website, there is a higher likelihood that they will click on the ads that would appear on your pages.
You will only have to pay for the traffic that your website would receive. Nothing more, nothing less.
But all is not well with this approach. Here are the disadvantages.
You'd have to spend on an ongoing basis.
There is no guarantee that you'll be able to recoup your financial investment.
Google is cracking down BIGTIME on websites that are merely composed of AdSense ad blocks. If you opt to use this
approach, and your website is composed exclusively of AdSense ads, chances are, your website will get de-indexed and your
AdSense account will get suspended if Google catches you.
The best way to go is to rely on the strength of your website. Prepare unique, premium content and hook
your visitors with the same. Content is king in the World Wide Web. It was, it is, and it always will be!
If you decide to use AdWords to get some traffic, make sure you have a mailing list in place to capture their contact
details and ensure repeat visitors for yourself. PPC advertising should only be used to gain initial traffic, until your
other marketing strategies start to finally produce the desired results you are looking for.
