How to Get Targeted Results with Yahoo! PPC

By Bradley Stokes


Google AdWords is a highly popular PPC program that is a great means to drive targeted traffic, but Yahoo! PPC is just as effective with the added advantage of being less popular and thus there being a lot less competition. We will be discussing, in this article, how one can integrate Yahoo! PPC into their marketing strategy effectively and how to maximize their positive results.

Ensuring Your Landing Page Is Pertinent: The last thing someone wants is to land on a page that has nothing to do with the ad they clicked on. If you want to throw your money away, then confuse your audience because all you'll end up with is clicks that don't convert. The key to generating excellent results with your Yahoo! PPC ads is to create a landing page that is in line with your ad. The biggest mistake you want to avoid making is having people land on your homepage when they click on your ad. You can't make any assumptions, namely that people will automatically know where to go, which is why you have to make sure you make life easy for them. If you want to generate a good conversion rate, make sure your landing page doesn't have too many elements that will distract your audience. The goal is to get people to take action, which means that your landing pages should focus on exactly that and nothing else.

Fluctuating Minimum Bid Prices: The fact is, keywords on Yahoo! may become active or inactive in no time; it could be one situation one time and something else the other time. During the course of your Yahoo! PPC campaign run, you'll frequently be notified that your keywords have become inactive because they fall short of the minimum bid requirement, but later you'll receive another notification that your keywords have now become active because the bid prices have fallen below the earlier set rate. So, what is there to do during these times? Apparently, you have no say as to how and why Yahoo! sets the minimum bid for a keyword. Regardless, once you are notified of the fluctuations, you can always monitor your account for traffic deceases and bids increases when the keywords become active.

Disable the Content Network: Truth to tell, getting auspicious result s when using Yahoo! content network in running your ads is not a possibility as it is not good enough for this activity. It's not a wise option when you're thinking of actually seeing a good return on your investment. Not a few advertisers have given Yahoo! content network a try, but ended up not getting the positive results they wanted. When you run your ad on the content network here, you may see quick rise in clicks, but there are no actual relevant conversions, which may be regarded as invalid clicks. This is the reason why as a smart PPC marketer, turning off the content network on Yahoo! is a wise move for you as it is apparently not the same as the content network of Google. Better adhere to the regular search campaigns and you'll be on the safe side.
