In the world of online advertising, nothing is more effective at traffic generation than pay-per-click marketing. For decades, advertisers and marketers have been searching for ways to deliver targeted ads to consumers. In the past, magazine, newspaper, television and radio ads have delivered that content beautifully. Then, the internet came along. Pay-per-click advertising platforms soon followed and advertisers were hooked. Finally, ads can be delivered to consumers in real time and they can be targeted specifically towards the search engine users’ interests. If you’re selling power tools, your ads are going to show up whenever someone searches for electronic drills, nail guns and cordless sanders. However, for PPC marketing to be effective you must learn the basics. The following will help you get your PPC marketing campaign started so that you can get your Internet business off the ground.

Running A Google Adwords Campaign? What You Need To Know
If you want to drive crazy amounts of traffic to your website, sales page or any other landing page, you can’t go wrong with a Google Adwords campaign. Actually, that’s only partially correct. Google Adwords is Google’s paid advertising platform. It’s how Google makes its money, for the most part. It can be an effective means for driving serious amounts of traffic to anywhere you wish online. However, it will only be effective if you know exactly what you’re doing.

Google AdWords Mobile Predictions Happening NOW

In the past, AdMob has concentrated on mobile display ads, while Google has focused on search ads.

(For those not intimately familiar with AdWords, if you are bidding $.05 for the keyword phrase “best keyword ever”, you may have to increase your bid anywhere from $.20 to as much as $10.00 if Google thinks your landing page is too slow.)
