In a recent article on their website, Small Business Trends listed nine trends in Sales and Marketing that they described as “Hot or Not”. Number 5 on the list caught my eye, and I wanted to bring it to your attention. (A link to the full article appears below.)
5. Using Pay-Per-Click
- Not: Experimenting with pay-per-click by using Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing or Microsoft adCenter without really understanding how a comprehensive campaign works is a money waster. It only results in high priced ads and low conversion rates.
- Hot: Hiring a certified pay-per-click professional who actually does know how to drive qualified traffic on a budget will yield improved results.
Emcie Media has such a certified professional on staff, and she can assure that you get the best bang for your Pay-Per-Click buck. We’ve known for a long time that most Pay-Per-Click campaigns are not well designed or well managed. It’s good to see some mainstream attention to the problem, especially knowing that we actually have the cure!
