Stop! Don't Begin Advertising Before Reading This Report on PPC.

By Jon Rognerud

Branding, a key asset of any Pay Per Click (PPC) Campaign, is defined by Wikipedia as a collection of symbols, experiences and associations connected with a product, a service, a person or any other artifact or entity. Brands have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy, now being described as "cultural accessories and personal philosophies".

A strong brand is absolutely essential in the current business climate, where the battle for securing loyal customers intensifies everyday. A Pay Per Click advertising campaign enables a company to accomplish both lead generation and online branding at the same time.

Online branding through PPC advertising depends on two things: the frequency with which the ad appears on Search Engine Result Pages (SERP)and the number of times that your target market has been exposed to the ad. The idea is that your potential clients will be able to see your ad again, even if they don't click on it the first time, and as a result, your product, and your business, will achieve top of the mind positioning.

Make sure that you have a solid understanding of your existing data before you begin. Ensure that you get a complimentary review and quality feedback on what this data means to you and your business.

In your search for the right mix of in-sourced versus out-sourced work, you need a knowledgeable, flexible partner that has at least 4 years experience. Some will charge you a flat fee, others a % of your spend of media, and sometimes a mix between the two, which may include a back end performance number. You should decide what works best for your business. - 16651
