Increase Web Site Traffic with Pay Per Click

Whether you want to move more widgets, sign up more people for your e-zine subscriptions, or just generally create buzz about your brand’s web site, you can use pay for performance (e.g. Pay Per Click) campaigns to generate fast traffic. What’s more, you can “take the pulse” of your ad campaign at every point along the process to maximize the return you get for each keyword and make sure that the viewers who arrive at your site take the kinds of actions your want them to take.

Pay for performance advertising can be optimized due to the principle of “gestalt.” This idea suggests that, while it’s impossible to predict the actions of any individual web surfer with a degree of certainty, it is possible to track and guess general trends among groups of web surfers.

Tactics might include: tinkering with the wording of your ad, placing your ad one degree higher in the search engine “food chain,” and neatening up your landing page to make it more of a shopping cart and less of an undifferentiated space. These tactics may or may not generate interest from one randomly chosen individual. But, taken together, these factors can dramatically influence the actions of the collective.

Having said this, bear in mind that traffic increases don’t necessarily translate into positive results for your company or your web site. Indeed, it’s possible to create lots of buzz and bluster using Pay Per Click ads only to lose a tremendous amount of money in the process. After all, you must pay for every click through (or every acquisition in the case of CPA pay for performance advertising). If the actions taken by your visitors don’t result in revenues to offset the costs of advertising, your PPC venture will eventually founder.

True, there are inherent brand benefits to heightened traffic exposure. People may visit your web site to gather more information and thus become aware of your brand. And even if these visitors don’t buy today, they may be inspired to remember your service days or even months down the line and may be able to spread the word of your company to other potentially interested buyers.

However, these benefits notwithstanding, you generally want at least a break even ROI for your pay for performance advertising campaign -- if not over the short-term, then definitely over the long-term of two-plus weeks or longer.
