Hey guys, I was wondering what your opinions are on the best places for my company to buy some PPC ads. We are a lock company that does keyless entry so is there somewhere specific I may want to advertise? The site has been live for only about a month now so I need to drive some traffic to it. Thanks so much for any help!
there are number of ppc sites, where you can start advertising campaign, its all about experience which ppc site works good for you and how efficiently you run your campaign. I don't think someone could really tell you in few lines, which one is good. According to me one has to try it on smaller amount and after some efforts you will able to figure, which ppc or which method works good for you
Thanks for the reply. I started 4 small campaigns on google and we'll see where it goes from there. We're thinking of posting on Nextag but we're not sure yet.
Time Lock, be very careful in your campaigns and do good keyword research and adcopy creation to get highly targeted traffic to your site, otherwise you may find that PPC useless and ate all your budget. Let me know if you need further help.
Knownowppc, Thanks for the advice. We kept the campaign cheap for the moment. When we had the website designed the company gave us a list of the best keywords they could find for our SEO.
I would always recommend trying Google Adwords first. If it doesn't work with Google, then I doubt it'll work anywhere else. Yahoo and MSN are my secondary choices for PPC traffic.
If you are looking for second tier (cheaper PPC), the best second tier PPC search engine would be 7search.com I have used them to promote affiliate products and had a good ROI.
Google adwords is what I'm trying at the moment but I'll check out 7search as well. Yahoo and MSN I haven't really explored yet.
Try MSN before you try 7Search. I don't think the traffic quality of a 2nd tier search engine could match up to any top tier.
Of course Google through Adwords. Also if your company is related in webmaster then if you can buy ppc in a famous webmaster forums.

Your suggestion to try Nextag, Shopzilla, etc and the other shopping engines is a good one. Highly suggested to tap out Google, Yahoo, MSN before embarking on the 2nd tier engines, they are very prone to fraud. PM me if you need help setting any of this up. Account setup is labor intensive and tricky if you want to set things up properly. And each engine is different so you can't just copy and paste the campaigns.
I think yahoo marketing solution and bidvertiser also good for you to buy PPC and most important you must find good keyword traffic and same with your content
I would try Yahoo and MSN first. If you find some success there, replicate your campaigns on Google Adwords. I used to do this process in the reverse order(Big G first), until I realized they can eat up a budget very quickly, leaving you penniless before you can thoroughly test other sources too.
Yea I usually use Yahoo ppc before google. I think keywords as simple as 'home keyless entry' should get you some good targeted traffic. I didn't search that term to see the price per click but I'm thinking it should be pretty cheap gl
