Some additional tips to help you design landing pages

Here are some additional tips to help you design landing pages that convert visitors who click through your PPC ads:
  • Create specific landing pages for each PPC ad. Individual landing pages allow you to tailor the pages to specific audiences, which can increase your chance of conversion.

  • Quickly orient the visitor with the purpose of the landing page by using direct and concise headlines. When users click through an ad to your landing page, they must immediately see that the page will help them reach whatever goal they have in mind. If they don’t see this, they’ll just click back to their search results.

  • Don’t overcrowd your landing pages. Too much information, too many graphics, and too many multimedia elements can make it difficult for users to load your landing page. Even if they do load it, they’re likely to become sidetracked by over stimulation. Keep pages clean and include plenty of white space.

  • Include everything that visitors need to complete a conversion. That means users should be able to sign up for your newsletter, make a purchase, or fill out a form, all on the landing page. If users have to click much deeper into your site, you may lose them.

  • Test, test, test. You’ll hear that mantra over and over again associated with many different SEO strategies. For landing pages, you may have to test several versions before you find one that works for the ad you’re currently running. Then, when you change the ad, the landing page will need to change, too. It’s an ongoing process that’s never quite finished.

Keyword Competitive Research

Keyword research is the core of any SEO campaign and it is vitally important when developing PPC programs. You should choose carefully the keywords that are most effective, because the keywords selected during the research phase will be included in your web-site copy, as well as your PPC programs, and many other types of campaigns.

To begin with, you should select valid keywords from a variety of sources, which include:

·  Your own knowledge of the product or service that you’re marketing. From your own knowledge you should be able choose at least one word that characterizes that product or service. If you’re unable to select that word, spend some time getting to know your products and services better.

·    Your customers. Your customers will be able to tell you what keywords they think of or use when searching for your product or service. Customers can be your best source for valid and relevant keywords, because you’re trying to reach people just like them.

·      Competitors’ web sites. Check your competitors’ web sites for additional keywords that you may not have considered during your initial brainstorming session. Obviously, if your competitors are using these keywords, there will be some competition for them, but better

Reducing Pay-per-Click (PPC) Costs


The one phrase associated with PPC campaigns that you’re likely to hear more often than “conversion rate” is “reducing costs.” In today’s world, every penny invested in advertising and marketing needs to be well spent, and PPC campaigns are no exception. Budgets must be monitored and maintained, and that means finding a way to reduce the costs associated with your PPC campaigns.




During the early years of PPC advertising, you could pretty much figure a bid for a keyword or phrase and then assume that you didn’t need to monitor it too closely. But that was before PPC advertising became one of the most effective advertising methods used on the Internet. Today, the competition for PPC keywords and phrases is very high, which means you’re likely to spend way more money to achieve the same rank than you needed to in the past.

If you’re not careful about your budgeting habits in the context of a PPC campaign, you could spend tons of money without getting better results. Management strategies, however, will help you reduce the cost of your PPC campaigns while maintaining or even improving your click-through and conversion rates.
