Get More Out of Your Advertising Dollar
ShopperClicks is the managed Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising program from WTE Solutions. With ShopperClicks, dedicated and experienced internet marketing professionals combine the latest technology with expertise to drive targeted visitors to your website yielding high returns on your advertising investment.
Pay-Per-Click advertising is an online marketing strategy employed to get a web site ad listed alongside the first page of search engine results for selected keywords. Monetary bids are placed on relevant keywords, and corresponding website ads appear in the sponsored listings when a user searches on that particular term. The advertiser is charged by the search engine each time a viewer clicks on the ad.

Instant Results
Pay-per-click advertising is ideal for companies desiring immediate results. Your ads begin appearing on various search engines and partner sites within minutes of uploading. No more waiting for Google to crawl your site and move you up in the natural search engine results. That can take months, even years. With PPC, your site is in front of millions of potential visitors almost instantly.
In natural search engine results, you are competing with literally millions of sites. For example a Google search for “women’s clothing” yields 42,900,000 total results. That can make it nearly impossible to appear on the first page for certain keywords. By bidding on those keywords, you are cutting the competition significantly, and taking the quick route to page one.
Who Needs PPC Advertising?
In one word: everyone. If you are a business, you need to advertise. Consider some of the companies in the sponsored results for “women’s clothing”. Companies such as Coldwater Creek, JC Penny, Victoria’s Secret and Lane Bryant all have appeared in those results, along with several lesser-known and unfamiliar companies. Businesses of all sizes realize the importance of PPC advertising. How else are you going to compete alongside the top names in the industry?
PPC advertising is a vital part of any internet marketing campaign, and should be used in conjunction with scheduled email marketing. Successful PPC advertising will lead customers to your site. After the initial transaction is complete, add them to your email list. A professional, scheduled email marketing campaign is a great way to take those customers, build a relationship with them, and turn them into repeat customers.
How Much Does It Cost?
The ShopperClicks staff custom-tailors each campaign by client; the cost for this service varies based on needs determined in the consultation. There is a one-time setup charge, then simply a monthly management fee. Terms of your ShopperClicks agreement are month-to month, with the exception of special offers or discounts; and you may cancel anytime.
Costs for the actual clicks that you get are billed directly by the search engines. You set the monthly budget, which the highest amount that you are willing to pay for clicks each month, and this amount can be adjusted by you as needed.
Summary
The internet is vast, and competition is fierce. Keeping up with that competition is a never-ending process. ShopperClicks is a great way to get your web site in front of millions of visitors that are looking for exactly what you have to offer. It takes away the stress involved in running a PPC campaign and gives you more time to focus on other aspects of running your business, all while maximizing the return from your marketing budget.
