Ppc – Does Google Really Hate MLM and Direct Sales? Now What?

January 26, 2010 by Bob Howard Comments Off

If you have been following the changes that Google is making in the last few months you will begin to see a pattern. The most significant change I have seen that has opened many eyes to what is going on is the recent shutdown of PPC Legend, Perry Marshall.All his Ads have not been approved and the Ads are graded so low that they never appear. You must be aware that he spends nearly $1 million dollars yearly with Google.Question is why would they do that?

Google generates around 20 billion dollars yearly in revenues so a $1 million dollar client is not much revenue..Question is if this does not affect them financially why bother?

People who have contacted Google after their ads have been closed , were told that direct sales,MLM and affiliate sales are not legal business.Again this is not an isolated case. It has happened many times. If you look at Perry Marshall’s article on illegitimate Businesses, you will observe that this is not a one off.

Jim Yaghi, in his article ‘Does Google hate Affiliate Advertisers?’ talked about the many people who have been effected by Google’s new practices. So people like us who are in the MLM business, will have to look for other options because Google no longer wants us to advertise with them.

I made a decision a few months back that I was no longer going to rely on Google strictly for the cost. Although I had gotten my cost per lead down to under $5, I wanted to have a lot of leads and the cost was just not justifiable in the long run as I saw it. Apart from Twitter which i am using, i started looking for other ways. I began a multi-pronged approach where I was writing articles, started my blog and began marketing on Facebook. I could grow 30-50 leads daily by using all of these techniques together with improvements in other techniques. On some days i have had more then 80 leads. Because i use safe lists which are paid subscriptions, not all the leads are free. They are almost free. The cost per lead for my safe lists is so far under a $1. It is crazy. At the end my yearly subscription, i will see the cost per lead ,around 30 cents.

All this to say that if you are relying on PPC for your leads, you will need to change your mindset because that is only because they have not yet caught up to you but they will. You have to come up with other ways and i am happy i did.

What Should You Know About Article Marketing Vs Pay-Per-Click Marketing

January 25, 2010 by Bob Howard Comments Off

Have you ever noticed the constant rush in today’s world? Do you get the feeling that everyone is in a hurry to get where they want to go? There seems to be a major distinction between what is disposable in our routine and what has lasting value. This may relate to the differences between Article Marketing vs PPC Marketing.

Lots of people appreciate the rapid results from ppc marketing. They understand that this approach will require funds to be spent upfront. Marketing articles is a longer process where the results are not necessarily immediate. You will need to evaluate the value in the context of the overall return you can expect.

Until you know what it costs to purchase certain keywords or specific key phrase you will not know how much money you will have to budget. You will have to wear your analyst hat to carefully evaluate the best words to buy so you get the most from every dollar spent. Remember that results will have to examined thoughtfully to understand the best way to proceed.

On the other hand article marketing is a perfect match for people on a low or no budget scheme. There is data to support the idea that people attracted to articles may be a better customer. They may be a reader who is inclined to come back to you because your information is helpful, entertaining, or instructional.

When you have a full wallet you can simply step up and buy listings from reputable ppc companies on the net. There may be a general understanding that you exist in this slot because you bought it. Many people believe that article writers win over their readers and provide value. You may benefit from blending these two ingredients.

Even a limited expenditure on ppc can garner valuable information about which words should be important to use in articles. It is better to know your most valuable keywords and phrases before you write dozens of articles.

You have to determine how much money and how much time you have to spend. Both are currency considerations when you launch. People can purchase many boxed, canned, or frozen foods for the price of a family meal in a restaurant.

The money will go farther at the store and you can prepare several meals designed just for your family’s taste. Article marketing is like that because you craft each one for your reader’s particular appetite. You serve up one relevant article after another ensuring they want a seat at your table on a regular basis.

With PPC you may need to commit to a constant budget of buying a position over and over again. If you are generating good monthly income this can be a worthwhile and effective tool.

When you use both approaches you have the opportunity to realize the benefits offered by each endeavor. Ensure you have thoroughly investigated all the tools, tactics, and tricks of the trade to adequately evaluate both routes.

Increased readership, vital back links, and wide recognition may be the welcome results of your articles. Instant feedback and monetary gain may be the result of judicious ppc strategies.
