Not All Free Advertising Is Created EqualWritten by Kori Puckett
Chances are, no matter how long you've been online, that you've used some pretty popular advertising techniques that produced no results for you. Some of you might even still be in that boat right now. I'm talking about safe lists, ad blasters, free for alls, traffic exchange programs and such. You'll learn sooner or later, if you don't know already, that those making full- time incomes have never had much luck with those and they won't waste their time with them. And you shouldn't either. Even some of us that do know this can still get suckered in because people who peddle these ineffective, time wasting advertising techniques make it sound so simple and easy. Which is exactly what people want--simple and easy. They want a magic button that they can push and call it a day and expect to retire by next afternoon.
| | How To Screen Your Visitors When Using Pay Per Click AdvertisingWritten by Rich Hamilton, Jr
If you are using pay per click advertising, I don't need to tell you that it can get very expensive if you have a lot of unnecessary click throughs. In this article I will explain how to screen your visitors and how to apply it to your pay per click advertising campaign, so that you can screen your visitors before they click through.How It Works To minimize amount of unnecessary click throughs, we are going to talk about a screening technique that is used in copywriting. A good copywriter has ablity to screen serious individuals from test pilots, before sale is initially made. By using this screening technique you will dramatically decrease amount of refunds that you could be receiving. In this case, you need to be specific about your product or service without giving too many details, this will eliminate unnecessary click throughs. When it comes time to develop an ad that best describes your offer, you need to use precise wording. If you use any ambiguous words, phrases or statements in your ads, you will confuse viewer, making them either click through or leave. You need to keep in mind that every click through is costing you money, so you need to make sure that you are targeting your market and that each of your visitors are qualified. Applying The Headline When placing a pay per click advertisement there are two things that you need to pay attention to, headline and description. The headline is used to grab their attention, build their curiousity and force them to read on. The difficult part is that pay per click ads only allow you a limited amount of characters, usually up to 50. Your attention grabbing headline will end up being only three or four words. You need to make your headline jump out at viewer, but at same time, you need to be specific. One of biggest mistakes I often see, is that people use their business name for headline of their pay per click advertisement. A business name is not going to grab their attention or motivate them to read description. For example, let me ask you which headline would grab your attention and motivate you to read description, "Elites Marketing" or "Earn $47 - $270 Per Sale". Do you see difference between two headlines and how specific second one was?
