PPC management, for the uninitiated, is a service offered by many SEO companies, and it’s the quickest way to achieve a first page placement. PPC management, somewhat tautologically, involves the management of PPC — or Pay Per Click marketing.
Pay Per Click Marketing is a service offered by major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. In PPC, you create an advertisement and select a set of keyword phrases to attach to each advertisement. Whenever someone searches for one of those keyword phrases, your ad pops up in the “sponsored links” section of the results. If a searcher clicks on the advertisement, you pay the search engine a small amount of money and that searcher gets directed to the landing page of your choice.
PPC marketing is amazingly effective for companies that don’t have organic SEO rankings yet; it’s the only way to get on the first page of search results on day one of your new website’s existence. But for all of that, there are serious pitfalls for the unwise. Choosing the wrong keywords can result in overpaying for clicks, or worse yet paying for clicks from people that are looking to learn (as opposed to buy). These ‘off-market’ keywords can suck money out of your wallet at an astonishing rate for virtually zero RoI.
PPC Management essentially means “you pay some PPC experts to manage your PPC campaigns for you.” The SEO company chooses keywords that convert at a good money-per-click rate, and they advertisements that catch the eye of surfers nicely. Furthermore and most importantly, they track everything about your PPC campaign, so if circumstances change and a keyword becomes more expensive or converts less often, they can drop it from the campaign in order to keep things tight and effective.
Without a talented PPC manager, pay-per-click marketing is like a pitcher plant — once you start to slide into the vortex, it doesn’t ever get any better. PPC management that works, however, does a wonderful job of getting your website visitors quickly and often. All you have to do is be able to turn those visitors into enough sales that it pays for the PPC campaign and the extra cost of the PPC management firm.

I’m a little confused about pen names. I assume you use your real name when giving contact details and your pen name when saying who the novel has been written by, but which do you put in the heading that appears at the top of each page?
Also, does it matter if the page number is at the top of the page or should it be at the bottom?

Hi there,
Next year I want to start an only bussiness selling HD Stock footage. It would be priced at AU$150 a clip (about 10 seconds).
To some this may seem a lot, but if you look around, most clips are even more than that for less than 10 seconds.
So what do you think, how much can I expect to make?
Where should I advertise it, should I be paying for something such as adsense?
Thanks,
Jared

Shall you help me out?
I am revamping a website with an OK Google ranking to try and improve page rank. I run the site with PHP with SE friendly links (no query strings). The base-names of the URLs were “index.html”, but I can call them anything, and I need to know if I have some of the pages marked as “index.html” and other named “video_dvd.html” that bring up the same page will be considered SE spam. Example:
http://www.site.com/catalog/122/index.html
http://www.site.com/catalog/122/video_dvd.html
http://www.site.com/catalog/122/video_dvd_featuring_widgets.html
All three of these links would go to the same page, as the PHP only reads the ‘catalog’ and ‘122’ part of the URL to lookup the information from the DB. I’ve kept things uniform by having the same types of links on one page (for example, the index page has index.html links, and the product directory has the ‘video_dvd.html’ links.
Is this type of SEO kosher for Google and the like, or should I keep one uniform link for each page?

Hi, I am an affiliate marketer/blogger. I don’t have much experience on PPC management programs.
I would like to request your exprert review on the best PPC Management program which provide best service with minimum Click Frauds and highest Return On Investment.
Last time I used an PPC program, which yielded only 1.35%. I expected more, as I used highly targeted keyphrases. I was confident of at least 12% plus conversion. However, I would like to minimise the risk to my purse next time. So, please share your best knowledge/experience, so that I can improve next time.
However, I got a review on PPC management program in the link given below, but I am not confirmed and puzzled among so much choices.

I will be using Adwords to promote our catering business. We don’t currently have a website, but will utilize the “business page” that Google Adwords supplies. Do you think this is sufficient if the copywriting is good to get customers to call our deli? Do you have any suggestions on what we can add to the business page? It looks so plain. Thank you for your help.
