  • Pay Per Click (PPC) Management & Performance Optimization to Gain More

    Writing after long time, this post is targeted for fellows looking for internet marketing strategy, mainly useful for promoting their products, services, etc. Almost a decade Pay per click (PPC) strategy is playing the vital role in internet marketing. I’m not going into deep definitions or how to’s of PPC, here goes easy PPC management & optimization.

    Discovering Keywords:
    Building a relevant keyword database helps you to understand your customers, you should know how customer search for the products or services you serve. Using Brainstorming, questionnaire, keywords suggestion tools, Google Suggest, Google insight, your traffic stats can build a great list of keywords.

    Grouping Keywords:

    Grouping keywords into subgroups based on logical term, is going to create a systematic database for further activities. PPC gives fast feedback thus the organized data helps a lot.

    Expanding keywords database with Negative Keywords:
    Your product/Service competitor’s name is usual and best example of Negative keyword. Showing your ad here-n-there is just wastage of money; show your ad to one who is looking for similar product/service, though he/she is looking for your competitor.

    Building Nice Landing Page:
    Your ad campaign drives traffic to your page, but didn’t generate the lead?? Think with the mind of searcher, may product doesn’t match with what he/she is looking for, displayed product is too confusing, No idea where to proceed further. So just show your product / service nicely, Keep it simple, easy navigable. And don’t forget to Track the conversions.

    Setup your Campaign:
    Now that logical group of keywords, nicely build landing pages are ready, think about your Cost per Click (CPC), remember bid amount is subject to value per lead. So it’s your money and budget. You can spend wisely. Every Company though it be Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Ask.com or anyone else they had great video tutorials to play with their UI.

    Analyze the Performance:
    With the Running Campaign, to increase productivity, keep analyzing the performances. Google Analytics great tool to research, analyze the performance of your campaign, maintaining them will reduce your search engine marketing Cost for PPC ROI.

    Maintain High Click through rate (CTR):
    High CTR shows more customers. Rotating keywords will get more exposure to right customers.

    So that’s all you can do to with your PPC Campaign, The biggest hurdle of PPC Management is identifying your keywords over the period of time, organize and manage thousand of potential keywords. So if you are hiring someone, be sure he is Certified professional.

  • Facebook is a Stupid Idiot !!!!

    David Ippolito debuts his new facebook song at The Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater in New York City in 2010. (Subtitled “What the Fuck is Farmville!?”) a must watch :

    Funny right ??
    hope to see more Facebook fun in coming The Social Network – Movie.

    here goes the lyrics of above video

    I saw my ex on Facebook…
    But I wanted to do what’s best.
    Show her there are no hard feelings so
    I sent her a “friend request”.
    But now her photo pops up in that random 6
    And I just think it’s mean…
    There she is with a new guy makin’ out
    on my computer screen!

    Facebook is a stupid idiot! (x3)

    Jane said you gotta be on Facebook
    to connect in the digital age.
    So like everyone else… and their pets
    I got my face a Facebook page.
    Now the learning curve was a bitch at first.
    I didn’t know ’til I got burned
    that what I wrote on my wall could be seen by all.
    That’s just the first thing that I learned.

    Facebook is a stupid idiot! (x2)

    It’s the place for worthless information
    like an insane almanac.
    Where women post minutiae
    and men write stupid comments back.
    Where women can vent about mundane events
    and inundate the Internet.
    And where clueless men “friend” women
    who they’ve never even met.

    Facebook is a stupid idiot

    ’cause I could stand to miss
    the fact that Tanya thinks all her friends are “AWESOME”
    and for some reason Pete “likes this”.
    And Rita reports that the trucks are loud
    but she still loves this city. It proves that…

    Facebook is a stupid idiot.

    Now some woman sent me flowers…
    ‘though I don’t even know her name.
    I stayed home that day for hours
    but no flowers ever came.
    Then she started sending hugs and drinks. Of course…
    all of it completely fake.
    Then she hit me with a “virtual pillow”
    How much shit can one man take?

    Facebook is a stupid idiot

    ’cause I don’t need to read
    all the everyday hapless crap out there
    then ZAP! It’s a “News Feed”.
    Like: Jenny just made Ben’s favorite stew
    and gave some to their kitty. It proves that…

    Facebook is a stupid idiot.

    Now some guy with a mind for trivia
    wants to know how mine compares to his.
    But I’m gonna buy a gun if he sends one more
    f#%king “movie quiz.”
    And Liza says she needs fertilizer
    ’cause her FarmVille crops are small.
    “WHAT THE F#%K IS FARMVILLE?”
    And Missy says she’s just so damn busy today…
    But had time to write that on my wall!

    Facebook is a stupid idiot.

    There’s nothing more to say.
    How else would I know that Heather
    thinks that “flip-flop weather”
    is finally here to stay!
    And what did we do before we knew
    that Sue just took a nap.
    Facebook is a stupid idiot.
