Want to know how to attract more people to your e-commerce site during the upcoming holiday season? During a recent webinar, “Amazing PPC Tactics for Retailers, Making Your PPC Campaign Relevant,” speaker David Szetela from Clix Marketing shared some tips for altering your Internet marketing and pay-per-click (PPC) plan for the holiday season so you can attract more visitors to your site and in turn, increase your sales.

Follow these PPC suggestions to get more Web site traffic this holiday season:

  • Offer free shipping with no minimum purchase price during November and December. This will encourage more people to shop your e-commerce site instead of making in-store holiday purchases.
  • Beef up your Microsoft Ad Center. Add more ads to your Bing PPC campaigns to get the attention of more people surfing the Web.
  • Try Facebook and LinkedIn. If you aren’t already on these sites, sign up now! Not only are they a great way to connect with customers and potential customers, but they’re also a great place to advertise your site.
  • Update your creative frequency. Use a “call to action” to create a sense of urgency that entices every viewer of your ad to click on it.
  • Rely on 3rd party tools when dealing with big PPC campaigns.
  • Plan and launch post-Christmas campaigns such as after-Christmas sale advertisements.

By following these PPC tips you’re sure to jump-start your Internet marketing campaign and get more Web site traffic to your site as well as increase your profit this holiday season.

New Adwords Feature May Give More Information Away to Your Competitors Than You Think

With a new feature that is only available to selected advertisers on Google, Analyze Competition, will compare your Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising campaign keywords with other advertisers. So what exactly will your competition know about your Google Adwords account?

Google explains the new feature, Analyze Competition, “examines your account’s activity over the past two weeks and lists categories that represent the products or services you’re advertising. Categories are based on actual Google.com search terms and are matched up against your keywords, ad text, and landing page text. For each category associated with your account, you’ll see a bar graph, which shows your individual performance compared to the average performance of other advertisers in the same category.”

Furthermore it will also look at your other PPC campaign metrics including impressions, clicks, and average position.

Now, while this may seem advantageous to your PPC campaign to determine exactly where you stand with your competition, your competitors are looking at this as well. So the question remains how much information do you really want to give away for free?

We’d like to hear your thoughts and opinions about this new feature
