There are times when it is good to have a listing or service advertised on the major search engines quickly and highly ranked. While SEO programs and other Search Engine Marketing programs are very powerful in the long term, sometimes a Real Estate Company or Agent wants exposure quickly and maybe for only a defined period of time. In those instances and more, Pay-per-Click or PPC is an alternative to consider.
Pay-per-click advertising is a search engine marketing technique that requires you to pay a fee every time someone clicks to your website from an ad that you've placed in a search engine's results. Simply stated, you will "bid" a price per click to be in a specific position of the online ads for a particular search keyword or keyword phrase. The more you agree to pay per click (or bid) for a specific keyword, the higher your ad will rank in the paid search results. The paid search results are usually marked as advertisements or "Sponsored Links" and appear above or beside the search engine's organic listings. The #1 position on a search phrase requires a bid higher per click cost, whereas the lower positions require much less of a cost per click. Although your website name or URL will be displayed in the search results at your bid for position, you are not charged the pay-per-click "bid" until a searcher actually clicks on your website URL.
Pay-Per-Click Marketing - A Short Term Strategy
As a short term strategy, PPC marketing offers one tremendous advantage. It enables you to achieve a top or high ranking position almost instantaneously. If you want to draw traffic to your website fast for any reason, pay-per-click marketing can make that happen! The primary benefits to PPC advertising are the immediate results and complete control it offers the advertiser. You may target one set of keywords today, and if they don't work out you may target an entirely different set of keywords tomorrow. What position you strive for and what you are willing to bid to achieve the position is totally under your control!
Pay-Per-Click is Great for a New Website
If you recently purchased a brand new domain name and you have no links, you are going to have a hard time jumping up in the rankings for any competitive keywords. PPC allows you to be at the top and start getting your ROI quickly.
Sales, Services and Specials
If your business is having a special online sale over the holidays or offering a new service, Pay-Per-Click is a tremendously effective way to help get the word out. PPC should be used after SEO to target special sales, or services.
