Hello, I have not posted in DP for a long time now. Today i am in a crisis and i thought that DP is the only place where i could get help from. I know that the members here are good at what i want to know. But the fear is that they are not going to spill the bean. On with the Main thing. (My website is on the Signature Only in case there needs to be a reference) I own a Web Design and SEO company and am looking for Outsourcing partners. The problem is that i cant really figure out how to advertise on ADWORDS, the GOOGLE'S MONEY TAKING MONSTER WHICH I AM YET TO TAME 1. Which area do i target (There is no point targeting Australia, New Zealand and China. I have tried these countries. they don't work too well). I need to know which areas specifically in the US and UK which i could target. This is a real task for me for which i have no help and i am sure that most people who are web designers will not give out this bit of secret... 2. The keyword. If you look at my website on the signature, you will realize that the services are dirt cheap. I cannot afford to pay $5 for any keyword. I tried keywords like "Web design UK", "Web design London", "Web design New York"... and a lot of others. Damn they are priced over $2 a keyword. Content Links obviously did not work. Could some one please suggest a few keywords. May be something related to Outsourcing would help. I dont know what people in the US and UK search for when they have to outsource web design and SEO works!!! Any suggestions? 3. Is there anything i have to do specifically on My website side to reduce the cost of the Adwords click. Does it help in anyway? Man there are plenty of questions but i think i will ask them once i know at least this bit as most of them are related to the above queries. I hope that I get at least one thing answered... Regards to all and i promise to keep myself posted and checking regularly on DP. (If i would have done that earlier i wouldn't have had to ask these questions in the first place. Damn Me) Thanks Rajeev
Hi Design 2 host. The area that you are in is quite expensive to advertise in PPC. However it is possible to improve your PPC and your site does need a bit of a tweak as well. I can help you if want. Send me PM. Cheers, ZigzagZigalar
True the keywords are expensive on adwords, however lets be honest the landing page needs a lot of work. You should focus on a better page to increase conversions. That's the bottom line truly. ZigZagZigalar
I am already ranking well for keywords like website design india, Web site design india and more on yahoo and MSN. Google is way too competitive for such keywords. I get around 10-15 clicks per day, which is really small and almost all of them are from india itself which does not help. Thats why my primary focus is on Adwords now
Hi , Thanks SEO Ranter. Could you please tell me what other places i could advertise on. I have one on Yahoo and MSN (Which gives me way too low traffic). I would appreciate if you could let me know a few. Link Building has worked for the SEO but i hardly get any orders from links!!! Thanks again
What do you mean your are looking for outsourcing partners? please go into more detail about this point. tks
Focus on quality score on the landing pages then determine what you can afford to pay per click. Try to find less competitive keywords, this is going to be tough since this niche is very competitive, but you have to put some effort into it because it will pay off. Write quality ads as well and you should receive some decent traffic and then you have to work on converting into sales. Hope this helps some!
Scuba, That really helps i will try on that. I did find a few keywords but of course less traffic from them. I have to really concentrate on how to get that worked up Brennan, By outsourcing partner i mean to say someone who intends to outsource work to me in a partnership basis. So they get a complete share of the work (Marketing they do in their country).
