Imagine if the visitor to your website came, looked and left without taking advantage of what you have to offer.
I am sure there are many marketers out there who have experienced this but have not had an answer and wondered what made the visitor leave, and what could they do to have a second kick at the can .
A smart marketer would never bring a visitor to a sales page directly. He or she would always have an opt-in page where they would capture the name and address of the person and then add a series of messages to an autoresponder series that would deliver email messages to the person on a predetermined schedule.
I use Aweber for this task but there are a variety of services such as 1Shopping Cart,Get Response and Mail Chimp. The autoresponder allows you to send relavent messages to your prospect who has showed up and opted in to your list. Then your messages can be crafted to let the prospect know who you are and a little more about you as well as allowing you to provide more value to them.
If your prospect then did not buy you could continue mailing in your series and engage them in your process. If they got to the shopping cart but abandoned you could track this if you were using a free analytics program like Google Analytics by placing tracking cookies at various steps in the process. This has been enhanced by a new twist that Adwords has introduced for those that are using PPC in driving traffic to their optins and sales pages. The twist is called Remarketing and in a nutshell the system remembers those that
are in various parts of your sales funnel and serves them another one of your ads, specifically targeted to their action or inaction . In my next post I will continue on how this is done and what the results can be.

PPC Management requires you to be on top of your game. When you make mistakes you may not achieve the conversion results and end up wasting money.
Here are some ideas to avoid the mistakes
1. Not doing good keyword research. Good keyword research using free tools like Wordtracker, Wordstream or Google’s own Keyword Tool will provide you the right words to target. See what successful and long standing advertisers are doing and emulate their keywords that should be in Line1,Line2, and Line 3 of the ads.
2. Having a slew of keywords,Organize your keywords into ad groups of one per keyword, with the three variations broad,phrase and exact. Have (2) separate ads in each grouping. This will give you the maximum granularity to discover the winners and improve your ads.
3. Lackluster Ads. Write compelling ads that are not about your business or product but about the exact item the searcher is looking for. For example:
{Pilgrim’s Pride Turkeys}
{ Pilgrims Have the Best Birds}
{PilgrimsPride.com}
is an bad example where the ad
{Premium Turkey at Discount Prices}
{Succulent Turkey for Your Family}
{ premiumturkey.com }
would be better as it addresses the solution that the consumer is looking for.
4. Experiment with Variations of the Ad in each ad group with small changes. Perhaps add a? mark at the end of the First Line.
5. Deliver what you promise in the ad by matching it with the copy on the landing page you are sending it to. Make it easy for the consumer to buy from you by providing clear navigation. Do not send them to a general information page when they are looking for a specific item,. When you deliver what you promise your quality score should be optimal, improving your position and lowering your costs while you are meeting the searchers needs.
6. One Campaign for all. Split your campaigns into search campaigns and Content Network Campaigns. They behave differently and reach different targets. Maximize your effectiveness by crafting different messages for each network and testing the results.
7. No Negative Keywords.Use negative words to weed out and refine your campaign to buyers. For example in these examples the word Free, Chicken,Fowl,Pheasant,Recipes,Gravy, or the country of Turkey which might come up may qualify the buyers you want versus general interest.
8. Test,test and Test. Always be Testing your copy,offers, fonts,colors and positioning. Be aware of your conversion metrics. Free tools such as Adwords conversion testing or Google Analytics and Website Optimizer make it relatively easy to use.
These are just a few tips you can use to save you time, money, and give you the best bang for your Adwords dollars. Pay Per Click is a dynamic advertising tool so you cannot afford to stop learning in the world of Pay Per Click marketing.
Avoiding mistakes is the key to better PPC campaign management. I advise you to constantly be aware of your buyers view.and would invite you to continue learning cool tips and better techniques for your Adwords management tasks and constantly be learning about PPC Management Strategies to keep you at the top of your game.

PPC Loophole-Speed PPC V4
SpeedPPC V4 brings with it lots of new cutting edge features that will lift the game for those who use it. It is the upgrade to Speed PPC V3 which we have reviewed on this blog before.
These advancements include:
Interface
* All the new features mean a shiny new interface, with customizable toolbars and improved data entry fields making it faster and easier to enter your campaign information.
* Work efficiently following a streamlined workflow – through the logically ordered tabs dedicated to each step of the campaign process.
* Manage your campaigns better with the Campaign Explorer, a Windows Explorer-type window that allows you to create, delete, refresh and rename campaign shortcuts and folders to arrange your campaigns in. Create a folder of campaign shortcuts per affiliate program or client.
* Never lose a campaign by accident with our new automatic “save on close” feature
* Save time exporting your SpeedPPC campaigns and set your output to automatically export after building

* Lots of interface improvements to allow for better workflow and ease of use.
Campaign Building
* Completely rewritten campaign building allows for 300% faster build times.
* Find more customers that are ready to buy by generating even more long tail search terms, combining up to 4 keywords lists. Building on the version 3.0 single and dual core campaign types, you’ll now see “Multi Core” campaigns allowing you to add up to 3 expansion lists that can be mixed with your main seed keywords (4 total keyword lists).
* Target domain-based search queries with added flexibility to the Domain campaign type, giving you the option to set the country codes (eg. Co.uk) and top-level domains that you want to include (eg. .org, .net).

* Keyword mixing capabilities have been expanded, enabling you to mix keywords in list order and every variation. Don’t Mix Pair now allows for an additional expansion list that you can reference with SpeedPPC tokens for greater targeting ability. An additional mix type has been added called “Mix & Pair” allowing you to mix 2 keyword lists, while matching with another list to get the best of both worlds.
* Cut your campaign costs by adding negative keywords through the dedicated negative keywords output for Google AdWords, with the ability to specify negative match types.
* Improve the quality of your traffic by using the dedicated negative keyword match types with campaign and ad group level options (AdWords Editor only).
* In addition to the traditional MSN bid fields, MSN adCenter Desktop now has a dedicated section for keyword bids to match the new dedicated output file.
* A dedicated output has now been added for Content Network campaigns, based on both keywords and image ads.
* Custom output fields have been consolidated on the bids tab so they can be easily referenced in the one place. Simply choose your custom search engine, then enter your bids, etc.
