The biggest stumbling block for most home business owners is marketing their business. Most will start at free classified sites and free to post FFA pages. Most free advertising will never be seen by anyone and as a result business owners get discouraged and quit.
Pay Per Click search engines remain one of the most effective tools you can use to bring quick, cheap, targeted traffic to your site. True to their name, with pay-per-click search engines, you pay every time a visitor clicks on your link, anything from a few cents to a few dollars. For example, let's say you have a site that sells camping gear. And you want to rank No. 1 in the search engines for the term "camping gear." To get a top-ten position in the free search engines, you'd probably be looking at three to four month’s minimum. But in the pay-per-clicks, you can grab the No. 1 spot in just minutes! That's because all you have to do is see how much the person who has the No. 1 position is paying per click, and simply outbid them by paying one penny more. Then when your potential customer searches for the term "camping gear," your link will show up as the first listing on the search results page. And each time someone clicks on your link, you'll pay however much you have bid for that No. 1 position.
There are three advantages to bidding on keywords in the pay-per-clicks:
1. You get effective advertising, because you only pay when someone actually clicks through to your site.
2. Your listing will get posted quickly, anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days at the most. You can start profiting from increased traffic and sales almost immediately.
3. In order to rank in the No. 1 position, all you have to do is outbid your competitors, which is usually only a matter of a few pennies per click.
Done right, pay-per-click advertising can be very profitable and to help you ensure your campaigns are profitable avoid keywords that are too general. More general keywords will attract a lot of traffic, driving up the cost of your PPC campaign and converting few visitors to sales because general search terms aren't specific enough to attract the right audience.
