Allshouse Designs • Apr 21, 2017

There are so many advertising options available to small businesses. So, you need to be aware of the pros and cons of all of them before you press ahead. Below, you will find plenty of information, the good and the bad, about pay per click ads. If you’re thinking of using them, read this information first.

What is Pay Per Click Advertising?

 

Pay per click advertising is a form of Online advertising that allows the business paying for the ads to only pay when the ad is clicked on. This means that if you pay for an ad, you know that it has made an impact. Google and Facebook both offer pay per click advertising options that are used by businesses all over the world. Now it’s time to look at the pros and cons of using this form of advertising.

 

The Pros

You have complete control over how much money you spend when you start using pay per click advertising. Most services allow you to set a daily limit that states how much can be spent on adverts each day. Once that limit is reached, your adverts will simply stop being displayed. So, if you have a tight advertising budget, it will be easy for you to make sure that you don’t go over it and put your business in a dangerous financial situation. Doing that wouldn’t be good for any business.

You can target specific keywords with this form of advertising, which can be a real advantage of companies. It means that your adverts will be put in front of people who are genuinely interested in the kind of thing that your business has to offer. That means when people see your adverts, they should be ready to purchase what you’re selling. It’s certainly an advantage that should be taken into account when you’re deciding whether or not to opt for this kind of on line advertising.

The Cons

Prices are not always low, and it’s important to be aware of this. If you get lots of clicks on your adverts, you will find that the costs start to pile up, especially if you don’t have a limit in place. This expenditure could turn out to be worth it for your business if it helps you to find new customers. On the other hand, your business might not be able to pay the upfront costs that will get you the results you need. It’s something to keep in mind. It’s one of the reasons why this option isn’t ideal for every company.

Click fraud is another issue that demands some attention from business owners like you. This is a real possibility, and it can inaccurately reflect the success of your ads, as well as meaning you might have to pay more. These are fake clicks, and there’s not too much that can be done to prevent them. Unfortunately, you might just have to accept that some of the clicks you will pay for were not being made by real people who might be interested in your products.
