What is Pay per Click / Search Marketing and why does it work?
Search marketing is the fastest growing advertising medium in history. It is the evolutionary leap that was needed to realise the marketing potential of the Internet. Search marketing or pay per click advertising is unique in the world of advertising and marketing as it is a complete "pull" advertising medium.
To explain, most advertising relies on "push" strategies. TV, billboards, press, radio etc. all rely on pushing marketing messages to you while you are in the process of doing something else and whilst involved in these other processes you come across these marketing messages.
For example you are watching TV and during the commercial break you have a dozen companies all try to push their messages to you, although you have not expressed ANY interest. The same as when you drive down any road and billboards push their advertisers onto you... and so on.
Search marketing or Pay per Click totally reverses this and advertisers only appear to people who are looking for exactly what these advertisers offer at the EXACT time that they are looking for it.. in other words "pulling" advertisers to them. This immediately puts the advertiser at a huge advantage as they can choose when to appear and to appear ONLY to people who are interested in their products or services.
Pay Per Click Marketing represents one of the most cost effective forms of advertising available. Because you only pay for a visitor to your website who is already searching for your product or service, conversion ratios are extremely attractive.
Consumers are actively looking for information about products and brands online all the time and therefore the universal need for trusted, relevant Internet search has created an enormous opportunity for businesses to reach, with precision, people who are actively seeking information at that very moment about the goods and services that businesses provide.
In addition you can track every single click that delivers a sale or a lead back to the keyword or ad that delivered the visitor in the first place. This allows you to totally control your budget with more ease than ANY other marketing medium.
With search engines (mainly Google) becoming used and trusted more and more by consumers and businesses every day it is essential to have a professional search marketing strategy in place to ensure that your website gets seen by the correct audience.
