Pay-per-click and paid search advertising

Advantages and disadvantages of pay-per-click advertising

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising can be a cost effective way to drive traffic to your website. There are a number of benefits and challenges to consider.

Advantages of pay-per-click advertising


The benefits of running PPC advertising include:
  • Cost effective - because you only pay when a user actually reaches your website, it can be good value for money. You can choose to spend as much or as little as you like.
  • Targeted - you can choose your audience according to demographics like location, language and device

  • Measurable - PPC campaigns can be set up to carefully measure effectiveness. You can determine exactly how much your return on investment is.

  • Customization - as you run your campaigns, you can make many small adjustments to improve based on what works best.

  • Fast- you will see the impact of your PPC efforts almost immediately. Organic search engine optimization (SEO) tactics can take months to make a difference.

Disadvantages of pay-per-click advertising


Some of the challenges of PPC advertising include:
  • Time investment - you can’t just set up your PPC campaigns and leave them. You need to invest time into optimising and improving to get the best results.

  • Skills required - it can take some practice to set up effective campaigns. Many businesses choose to use a specialist agency.

  • Costs can quickly add up - if you aren’t monitoring and optimizing your campaigns to make sure you get a return on investment, money could be wasted. You will need to allocate budget for PPC campaigns, unlike SEO tactics where the investment is time and skills.

  • Clicks and visits don’t always lead to sales - you will need to convince the user to ‘convert’ once they reach your website.

A Good Web Design Is All You Need To Begin!

Re-designing a website is a common practice for most small, medium and large businesses today. The reason could be any; but while doing so, many businesses fail to consider the significance of this activity from them when it comes to the digital marketing strategy that will of course take place sooner or later, once the website is created or overhauled by them. In most cases, when a website is going through the redesigning phases, things end up totally in wrong directions and the new design is actually worse than the previous one. The core problem is that web designers and developers focus on one element fully rather than considering the  digital marketing strategy  as a whole. A good example here would be the introduction of novel brand OR in order to amplify the  search engine optimization  potential that a website may have and/or any one aspect that requires immediate attention just because it is in the spotlight during a particular time. One would need to understand this
