    If it's a local product, you would be better running Google ads and geotargeting. Most PPC networks can geotarget countries but not individual cities or towns.

    PPC is a fast way to get access to your potential customers. There is a lot of free information available on PPC, so just google the topic and you will find it. Otherwise, a friend of mine is just launching a newbie course here: http://newbieppc.com/

    This form of advertising brings traffic to a website through visitors clicking on an advert, every time the advert is clicked a charge is made to the advertiser. The advertiser bids on certain keywords to bring only relevant traffic to their website. Through this process they can control the total level of their advertising budget.

    Hi, thank you. Explain though what is geotarget? does it have anything to do with giving my physical location on the adverts?

    Does this mean then that if I have visitors to my site then my PPC campaign will not work?

    Geotarget simply means showing your ads to people who live in a certain area. This can be the whole world, a country, state/province, even a city or a neighborhood. Note that the smaller the target, the less accurate it is. All PPC services allow you to geotarget but the resolution of that targeting will vary. Most allow down to a city. Google Adwords even allows you to custom define your target, say a certain radius around a point or even define the boundaries yourself.

    I strongly suggest you learn all you can before starting a PPC campaign. There's lots of things to consider. You don't want to waste time and money on a poorly thought out and planned campaign.

    what is the best way to learn PPC strategies? I mean, there's so much information on the internet that you can get lost inside the mass information.
