Pay Per Click Search Engine Listings Drive Traffic To Your Affiliate Marketing Website! Nothing drives traffic to a website better than a top search engine listing!
Search engines are truly the gateway to the internet because most people find websites of interest by using them. Therefore, a top ranked listing under an important keyword can bring traffic to your site like nothing else. However, just being listed with search engines (whether one or 1,000) does little good. When you search, you will notice that the search engine has found hundreds of thousands of websites - maybe millions. Yet, very few people ever look past the top 20-30 listings. So if your site is not listed in the top 30, it might as well not be listed at all. So how do you get your site listed in the top 30 listings? Due to the importance of top ranked listings, an entire industry has been created: Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Some do it themselves but it requires a lot of knowledge, specialized software and is pretty much a full time job. SEO companies can do it for you, but is costly. As a result, another option has been created that generates revenue for the search engines and can get you a top listing: Sponsored Links or Sites. When you search for anything, you will notice these listings at the very top and along the side of the organic listings. Advertisers can secure a top listing in 15 minutes by using this type of listing. So how does it work? Search engines that offer this type of advertising are called Pay Per Click (PPC) Search Engines because they charge the advertiser a fee each time someone clicks on the link and visits the sponsored site. How much does it cost? It depends upon the search engine and the keywords under which an advertiser wishes to be found. Some of the less popular search engines have a minimum bid of 1˘ per click while the most popular search engines have a minimum bid of 10˘ per click. Then to secure the #1 ranking, an advertiser must bid a higher price than everyone else. An advertiser can secure a top listing for some keywords for pennies while other keywords may cost hundreds of dollars. Sometime there is a big difference in price for the #1 position and say, the #4 position and maybe #4 is good enough to secure the traffic you desire.
