Why PPC Marketing is Becoming a Universal Language
Recently, I was asked to review an Adwords account that was in a completely different language. At first, I was a little skeptical about how effective I could be at understanding the account, especially since I could not understand any of the keywords, text ads and landing pages. But honestly, I was surprised to know that it did not matter all that much and I came to realization that “in this case” Strategy was just … Read entire article »

A Systemic Approach to Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising
ANYONE WHO CLAIMS that paid search advertising is easy is misguided. Sure, at its core, the components that make up a paid search campaign are easy to assemble – campaigns>ad groups>keywords>text ads>landing pages.

PPC Marketing. It’s Not the Size that Matters. It’s How You Use It
Yes, we are talking about the size of PPC Marketing. Bigger is not always Better in this Industry and when we hear about advertisers bragging about having thousands of keywords, text ads, negatives, etc.. it does not sound impressive to me, it sounds like there might be a problem.

Blockbuster Shows Lackluster PPC Strategy To Compete With Gamefly
Whether you are a Netflix junkie like myself, or a past loyal customer of Blockbuster, I was quite surprised to see a very “Non-Holistic” online strategy. For example, Blockbuster has a Display Ad on Yahoo promoting their Blockbuster by Mail service, to ultimately compete with NetFlix and Gamefly. For example, if you read this recent article from PC World entitled “Blockbuster takes Aim at Gamefly” by Jared Newman, you will get a better idea on … Read entire article »

Branding As a PPC Strategy Is Making A Comeback
No matter how you look at it, bidding on your own brand term ultimately comes down to protection. For example, protection from false claims, unethical affiliates and resellers especially in this ever so-sensitive world of Trademark Infringements, it’s quite obvious that the Brand Campaign by itself will always be your most important campaign in terms of overall PPC ROAS%.
