Actual for You - Some Things in Business Demand Total Expertise

Rule number 1 of pay-per-click advertising: Never have your text ad pointing directly to the homepage of your website especially if you are trying to sell something. Only in very (and I mean very) rare cases would you do this. When someone clicks on your ad, you want them to be taken to one of two places. Either a precise landing page that was created specifically for the product or service you are promoting with a link to your website OR to a specific page on your website, pointing them again in the direction of the specific product or service your text ad was promoting. But NEVER take them to the main homepage of your site! Rather than focusing on what makes sense to you, (and it might have made sense to you to have them land on the homepage so they can see everything you offer) the key is to focus on what makes sense to the consumer and to them, they want to find exactly what they are looking for and FAST! Within 5-8 seconds if they don’t find what they are looking for, BOOM their gone! They leave your site and you just gave that sale to your competitor on a silver platter.

Another common mistake I see all the time is not having the actual keyword in the actual ad. If you are selling “sunless tanning lotion” then be sure to have the words “sunless tanning lotion” in the title line of your ad. Google high-lights the keyword in your ad if you do this and that will make your ad stand out from the rest. 21st Century Marketing Breakthrough Gets Google AdWords Pay-Per-Clicks FREE

Case in point: you click on an ad that advertises a specific product and you are taken directly to the homepage of the advertiser’s website.
