Many people on the internet are searching for the term “pay per click search engine submission”. In reality, there is no such animal. . .but pay per click and search engine submission are two excellent means of getting traffic to whatever web content you you aim to promote.

The term pay per click (PPC) refers to a type of online advertising. Here’s how it works. First of all, you’ll need to understand the concept of keywords (or keyword phrases) and how important they are to the success of your PPC campaign. Keywords are the words that people are typing in to their search engines when they do a search for something. Everytime someone types in a keyword or keyword phrase into their search engine, it is recorded by the search engine. This allows your search engine to provide you with data on what keywords people are typing in and how often they are typing them in. In PPC, you will design your advertisements, promoting your website or other web content, to target these specific keywords. Then, you will bid on your keyword. When someone types in a search with the keyword you have targeted, your ad will come up on the right hand side of the page. How high up on the page it appears depends on how high your bid was. When someone clicks on your ad, you will pay your search engine the amount you bid for the keyword. This is an extremely effective way to advertise since you are only paying when you get concrete, measurable results.

Search engine submission refers to the process that you go through to submit your web site directly to a search engine, without waiting for the search engine to find your website first. once the search engine has recognized your site, you will come up in the search engine rankings when someone types in a keyword that is relevent to your business. Search engine submission to Google, Yahoo and MSN is really not necessary anymore since these engines are already able to discover new webpages on their own by crawling links from other sites.

However, search engine submission to the lesser known search engines that are used around the world can be extremely beneficial. Another option is to purchase search engine submission software that handles this process for you.

Search engine submission services can save you tons of time and get your website out there. Depending on the services, your website will be submitted to hundreds or thousands of search engines, directories and links. Most services understand the various rules of each search engine and follow them accordingly. The majority of the big search engines prefer manual submissions but other search engines and directories will accept automatic entries. With search engine submission services, you don’t need to worry about all of that because the service takes care of it all.

Hopefully this article has cleared up some of the “pay per click search engine submission” confusion.

The Clicks Per Action (CPA) model of marketing resolves a common complaint from marketers about affiliate programs . . .many times they end up promoting whoever is selling the affiliate product without getting anything in return. This happens a lot when an affiliate marketer promotes a program and sends his/her audience to the vendor, but few of these visitors then actually buy anything.

A fair amount of online shoppers visit a site several times before deciding to make a purchase. This is a problem for affiliates because if the visitor bookmarks the vendors site and returns to that, while skipping over the affiliate site, the vendor ends up receiving traffic, brand promotion, and potentially revenue for free.

One of the best solutions to this problems is the recent trend in offering affiliates the opportunity to earn commissions without the visitors needing to make any type of purchase. This can be best described as a clicks per action model, in which affiliates earn commissions for referring potential customers to the vendor. Usually the commission is earned when the visitor requests a free trial or sample of the product. Others pay for visitors to complete an opinion survey or for referring email addresses for a free newsletter.

The main advantage of these types of programs is that visitors aren’t required to actually purchase anything so the conversion rates are much higher. It’s estimated that from 10 to 30% of click-throughs from an affiliate will result in a commission.. .because people are much more willing to request a free trial or sample on their first visit to a web site than to spend any money.

Another advantage with using CPA offers is that you can easily add value to your web site by offering people free trials on related products. If you have an informative and solution-solving website, it only makes sense to offer free solution-solvers as well.

One aspect of the CPA model that you need to recognize is that the commissions are not as high as those using a pay per sale model. But this is easily offset by the fact that you will get many more click-throughs.

It’s important with CPA marketing that you look at the conversion rate, just like with everything else. You want to look at the click through rates of whatever marketing you are using (banner ads, text links, etc.) and which ones of those generate a commission for you.

CPA offers outperform most other pay per sale programs simply because no sale is required. There is nothing secret or magical about getting commissions this way. You get paid when people request free samples, trials and club memberships. And this is much easier for most marketers than waiting to get paid until a sale is actually made.

It’s time for you too to start getting more clicks per action. . . and more money in your pocket.

Have you been asking yourself. . .”How much are my competitors spending on PPC advertising?” While it may be hard to get an exact answer about that unless you ask your competitor directly, there are some things you can find out about the strategies of your competitors.

It’s easy to get lost in all the technical aspects of running a ppc campaign. You spend your time surrounded by keywords, keywords and more keywords in addition to other data. As you are monitoring your bids, positions, budget, and ad copy, you can easily lose track of the bigger picture and changes that are going on within the industry or among the competition.

There are three steps that you can take to consistently keep an eye on your competitors and keep up with what’s going on in the industry.

Identify what the most important keywords are for all of your major competitors. Pay attention to the average position that your competitors rank for under these keywords, some common elements they have in their ad versions and what common elements they have on their landing pages.

Take note if huge corporations with who have lots more money to spend on PPC don’t appear on the top spot or even in the first page. There must be a reason for this.

You can really get a lot of information by observing what goes on in the marketplace, but you do have to take the time to dig in and analyze it.  For instance,  if everyone in a particular sector is offering problem-solving e-books, free trials, and demos, you should probably have some sort of interactive media on your site because your target audience is probably more likely to convert to these types of actions.

Take regular screen shots of the top 10 or 20 ads for your major keywords.

The biggest reason for doing this is to identify the newer competitors that are moving in to the area. By doing this, you may see that a competitor has copied one of your ad versions very closely, causing your click-through ratio to go down the tubes. This way, you can also track when competitors are scheduling their ads and when they change ad position.

Use the Google free keyword based search tool on your competitors pages. Type in your competitor url and Google will automatically inform you of appropriate search phrases, content, and keywords.  You may get ideas for additional keywords, or see areas where your competitors have excellent content. This also keeps you familiar with competitor’s websites as they add or change content. Something you should keep up on if you want to advertise using PPC.

Certain tools or memberships sites like Spyfu.com allow you to do some detailed analysis when it comes to your competition. These solutions are not exactly the answer to your question of “How much are my competitors spending on PPC advertising?”. . .but they can help you beat out your competition.

Many people are asking about which search engines offer affordable pay per click advertising. The truth of the matter is. . .it is not up to the search engine to make your advertising affordable. It is up to you to create your ads so that they don’t cost you an arm and a leg. Many newcomers fall into the trap of spending way too much money on their first Pay Per Click campaigns. . .and they could get the same results by spending much less.

So, how can you make sure you are using the methods to obtain effective and affordable pay per click advertising?

It all comes down to the research that you perform. The research will be centered on the keywords that you are going to use in your advertisements. Luckily, all of the search engines make it very easy to do this research. They offer you the free tools that you can use. All you need to do is put a little time and effort into it.

First, think of a general term to describe what your business offers. If you sell sports clothes, go into the free keyword research tool that your search engine offers and type in that term. The tool will then provide you with that and all other related terms that people are typing in each and every month within the search engine. Your first impulse may be to choose the words that are getting the most traffic. Ignore that impulse. That keyword will be too competitive (meaning, too many are already using it in their ads and the bid that you’ll need to appear on the first page will be too high). Instead, choose a keyword that is not getting as many searches per month. . .but also has much less competition. Some PPC trainers recommend choosing keywords that have fewer than a thousand searches per month. I actually recommend choosing those that have less than 300 (especially on google which is highly competitive).

Once you’ve chosen an uncompetitive keyword, make sure that you write an advertisement about this word that is compelling and offers what the “searcher” is looking for. So, if your keyword happens to be ski masks, don’t just write an informational ad, make it compelling enough so that whoever is searching for ski masks will notice your ad above all the others. This way, even if your bid is lower than other advertisers, and therefore your ad will appear further down on the page, it will get more clicks than the other less compelling advertisements.

Study the other advertisements that you see in your niche. Look at the ones that make you want to click and those that don’t interest you at all. Use these examples to write your ad.

Affordable pay per click advertising is no secret – with a little bit of patience and practice, you too can be spending less on PPC than you are earning from it! Don’t forget, Google Adwords isn’t the only game in town, try Yahoo Adwords

! Once you get the hang of it, you can start re-investing your profits into more competitive terms.

Quite a few people are searching for the term “yahoo adwords” online. But don’t be disappointed when you don’t find it. Although Yahoo doesn’t actually have a program by this name (like Google Adwords). . .Yahoo does offer you the chance to use PPC or pay per click ads. In fact, it’s called Yahoo Search.

Yahoo PPC works under the same principles of any pay per click on any search engine. You do some keyword research. You create some ads to target that those keywords and you advertise your business.

Here are some great reasons to use the Yahoo Search Pay Per Click Program.

- It offers you a great free keyword research tool. Do not start advertising unless you make full use of this.
- It offers you a free conversion tracker to see how your traffic converts into sales
- It offer you extensive reporting tools
- You can make sure to never pay more than the daily budget you allot.
- You only pay when your ad gets clicked on
- You can get very targeted traffic if you pick your keywords correctly

Here are some reasons that “Yahoo adwords” might work better for you than Google adwords. First of all, while it is true that Google gets the most traffic compared to Yahoo, MSN or many of the other search engines, it is more difficult for beginners to take advantage of that traffic because they can’t afford to compete with the higher bidders. Some keywords can even cost $10.00 or more per click just to get you somewhere on the first page.

Where a keyword on google may cost you $1.50 per click, that same keyword on Yahoo, can cost only about 30 cents per click. Will you be getting as much traffic to your ad on Yahoo? No. But you will be able to afford the traffic you are getting and, once you start profiting from that traffic, you can invest some of your profits into more Yahoo PPC or move some of it over to Google.

Remember the key to being successful with any PPC campaign, whether it be on Google, Yahoo, MSN or any of the other hundreds of search engines, is to start out targeting non-competitive keywords. Yahoo offers you all the tools to be able to see what keywords people are typing in that are relevant to your business and to evaluate which ones are too competitive and which ones aren’t. Although you will get very few clicks in the beginning, once you start adding more and more advertisements, the clicks will all start to add up as well.

So, although you will never be able to find Yahoo Adwords in any search you do online, the basics of pay per click still remain and the Yahoo Search Pay Per Click program offers an excellent platform with informative tutorials and training on using their tools and system.
