(Full article at The Sydney Morning Herald)     Search Engine Marketing With PPC: Tips for Beginners Pay per click (PPC) is a quick method of getting your website listed in search engine results pages (SERPs). Rather than waiting for your optimized web pages to get picked up by Google and the other top engines, you pay to have your website listed in special sections of the SERPs for given keywords. When you use PPC marketing and get your link placed on the SERPs, it is not the same thing as taking the top spot on the page for a specific keyword. Since paid links are placed along the top of the page and down the side with special highlighting or background, they are clearly distinguished as paid advertisements to to searchers. Those who get on that first page through SEO will be listed underneath in order of ranking. Just because paid links are separated on the page doesn't mean they don't get clicks. In fact, many people click more of those advertised links than others listed below because they are the first ones they see or because they seem to be more official because someone cared enough to pay for them to be listed.     There are some searchers who aren't as likely to click on ads placed by PPC because they feel they are just advertisements, there are many who do feel these links are more likely to give them value and they will click. Once they do place that click, you are on the hook for your bid price on the link. Just as the name of this marketing strategy implies, you pay for every click that goes through from the search engine pages to your website. This is why PPC has to be taken very seriously. All of these measures have to be taken before you even start placing bids and spending money with this type of marketing: 1. The website to be listed in the ads must be of very high quality and packed with valuable information. It must be easy to navigate, well designed, aesthetically pleasing, and stacked with information or products that others will really want to read. 2. Keyword research must be completed to make sure the best keywords are targeted. Every keyword must be tightly related to your website in some manner. Searchers typing in that keyword should find what they want when they click through to your website. Otherwise you are just wasting your time because people will click through, not find what they need, and click right back out. You still pay for their clicks.     3. Keywords with moderate to high searches but with low competition should be selected. If you get into a battle with very competitive keywords you will pay a lot more for clicks and will be less likely to make it to the top positions on the SERPs. 4. A clear PPC budget should be drawn out and followed closely. It is easy for some people to get so swept up in the battle for traffic that they spend way more than they ever stand to make from the traffic coming in. Or, they spend so much on a couple keywords that they cannot afford to continue campaigns with other keywords. It is easier to keep a level head if there is a clear budget that you are determined to stick to. When starting out, go through all of these steps before you start spending money with PPC. You will avoid a lot of costly beginner mistakes. About the Author: Ian Cheow is the co-founder of OOm, an online marketing agency providing sem service. Find out more about sem at OOm Singapore.

Problem with your Google rankings (Panda update)

Get your website on Google's first result page (with Google's new ranking algorithm) Secure your rankings: many websites have lower rankings since Google's latest algorithm update (the so-called "Panda udpate"). Secure your rankings now and make sure that your website gets the best possible rankings with Google's new algorithm. Guaranteed top 10 rankings on Google. There's no catch. Many people will tell you that it is not possible to guarantee top 10 rankings on Google. That is correct. No one can guarantee top 10 rankings except for Google's engineers. However, our tool IBP has a success rate of more than 98% and we will give you your money back if you belong to the very few people who don't get top 10 rankings on Google with IBP. How does it work in detail? 1. You choose the keyword and the search engine You tell IBP for which keyword you want to get a top 10 position and you choose the search engine on which you want to have a top 10 position. This can be Google.com, Google.co.uk, many other local Google variations as well as Yahoo, Bing, their local variations and many other search engines. 2. IBP analyzes your web page IBP's Top 10 Optimizer will then analyze all the relevant ranking elements on your web page as well as the links to your website and calculate a ranking score based on that information. The higher the ranking score, the more likely it is that your website will be listed on Google's first result page. 3. IBP tells you in detail what you have to change If your website does not have a 100% score, IBP will tell you in plain English what exactly you have to do to improve your web page and the links to your site. The advice will be tailored to your website, the chosen search engine and the chosen keyword and IBP will tell you in detail what you have to change and how you have to change it. 4. You make the changes on your web page In the last step, you change your web page according to the suggestions of IBP's Top 10 Optimizer until there are no further suggestions (IBP's Top 10 Optimizer gives your site a 100% rating). That's it. No catch, no fine print. If you follow the advice of IBP's Top 10 Optimizer then your website will be listed on Google's first result page. A real top 10 ranking guarantee should be for the keywords of your choice and it should be for the regular, unpaid search results. That's the guarantee that you get with IBP.
