It is no secret that in order to make a good living on the Internet you have got to have traffic. It is common knowledge and it is something that you know you have to have but you don't necessarily know how to get. The reason you built a web site in the first place was to maybe sell products, like a Rainbow vacuum performance power nozzle. More than likely you have spent hours and hours trying to build the perfect web site. You may have used Web Builder or any of the many other publishers to build your web site.
If you can manage to get large amounts of traffic you will no doubt be able to convert them into customers. At least that is the hope of most web site builders. Some of the larger web sites that have been created at great expense over the years have fallen by the wayside. However, there are many small sites that have done quite well selling things like the Rainbow vacuum.
By using Google Adwords you can target in on your target audience. Let's say that you have a web site that sells Rainbow vacuum parts, given a choice, which would you rather have, one thousand visitors per day of a general nature searching for everything under the sun or one hundred visitors looking specifically for vacuum cleaners. My choice would be the one hundred unique visitors looking for the cleaners. Why, simply because my conversion ratio would be much greater.
Are You Spending Money To Make Money
We have all heard the saying, "You Have To Spend Money To Make Money". While not always true, it does have application when it comes to using the advertising program that Google has called Adwords. I've used Google Adwords on a continuing basis for several years now and I would have to say that I have spent a lot of money with them. But the flip side is that I have made more sales than I would have otherwise. In other words, I took in more money than I spent.
"You can never go wrong making a profit" is what the student of Glenn Turner, James E. Tolleson and his brother Rod Tolleson used to say. This is true, with one caution, listen up. If you spend one thousand dollars in advertising and make one thousand dollars, you have made a good investment. However, if you spend one thousand dollars to run ads and only make one hundred dollars your risk reward ratio is too high.
Which risk reward ratio is correct? Well, that is something you will have to decide. Personally, I like a 3 to one ratio. If I can spend one thousand dollars running ads I'd like to see a 3,000 dollar profit.
