Using Pay Per Click to get Traffic
If you are looking for a low cost way to get traffic, you should consider taking a look at Pay Per Click (PPC) opportunities. Here are the 3 major ones, but many others.
- Google AdWords
- MSN AdCenter
- Yahoo! Sponsored Search (Sign up and get a $25 credit)
Even if you don’t know offhand what PPC is, you have come across it many times. You know how when you search on Google there are some results on the right hand side? Those are ads. Also, many times ads appear on web pages.
If you want to advertise to people who are interested in what you are talking about, this is a great way to do it. What happens, is you create an ad (or multiple ads) to promote your website. Then, when someone either searches something similar to what you are promoting, or is on a site that is similar, they will see an ad about your site. If they are not interested, nothing happens. If on the other hand they are interested, they can click on the ad, and be brought to your site. You will get charged only if the person clicks your ad and goes to your website.
The great thing about this is that you are only getting targeted traffic. If they aren’t interested, they won’t click. Another nice thing is you can set how much you want to spend per day, and per click…so you don’t have to worry about going broke because of advertising! You can set it to only pay .05 cents per click (it will let you know if that will get you anywhere though), and up to $1.00 a day if you would like. That way, the most clicks you will get in a day is 20, although many more people might have seen the ad.
It’s a great way to get some targeted traffic without spending a lot of money. I really recommend it if you are trying to get people to your site, and don’t want to spend a lot.
