Here’s 7 tips to keep your PPC Ad Campaign flowing smoothly.
- 1. Make sure the ad points to a site that is relevant to the advertisement. Don’t place misleading ads or bait and switch your potential customers.
- 2. Don’t use a trademark term in your ad. Make sure you read the terms and conditions associated with the product you are promoting.
- 3. Please refrain from using objectionable or abusive language in your advertisement. This is a big NO-NO!
- 4. Whether intentional or not, don’t falsify information. For instance, never promote a sale that ended last week. Know your product and any promotions associated with it.
- 5. Be sure your site allows the visitor to use the back button or leave. This may sound silly, but many marketers intentionally trap visitors against there will. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
- 6. Don’t have pop-ups on the web page your ad points to. Most pop-ups aren’t allowed by ad networks, plus they can be annoying to repeat visitors.
- 7. Restrain from using ALL CAPS in your ads. Remember, you want your ads to stand out, but you don’t want to over do it and appear to be SALESZY!
