A warm Hello from PPC Live Singapore..
Are you making money or wasting money using Google adwords ? I hope you have not thrown away one of the most profitable advertising platform down the drain.
As my friend Simon Leung would tell you:
- Google Adwords Works
- Leverage The Power & Reputation Of Google
- Provide Measurable Metrics For Results
- Higher Profit Margin
Truth is however, a lot of people get burned by Google Adwords and stopped using them. Though it is still possible to make money without the use of Google Adwords, abandoning this traffic gold mine is very unwise.
Simply put, Google adwords, when used correctly, can give you very targetted traffic who is ready to buy. In fact, the CPC can even be as low as 4 cents per click, that is to say, paying only $4 for 100 targetted traffic.
Here are some tips for you to improve your quality score with your adwords campaign:
- You should not group all your keywords into a single adgroup
- Focus instead, in keyword relevancy and grouping
- Write your ads according to your keywords
- Note: California Car Rental is different from USA Car Rental and should be seperated
- As such, USA car rental and California Car Rental each should have their own ads
- Your landing page, again, should be relevant to your ads which in turn, is relevant to your keywords
Following this simple guideline, you will improve your quality score of your ads.
Other factors includes:
- Account History
- Keyword Research (You need to be as relevant as possible)
- CTR ( Which again, is indirectly affected by your ad’s relavancy )
As such, the key to succeed in adwords is relavancy. The more relavant your keywords vs your ads vs your landing page, the better your quality score and the lesser you pay per click.

Here are 3 instant profitable secrets to making money with article marketing:
1) Titles – The first thing you would want to do is to make sure that you provide a relevant and compelling article title. It is human nature that we are attracted to things and subjects that arouse our curiosity or interest.
If you are searching for weight loss solutions, indefinitely, you would click on the title that arouse your interest the most. Something that can benefit you or question your understanding or certain facts.
As such, it is important that your article title is both compelling and relevant to the products you are selling and also matches the article body.
2) Quality – Writing quality article gives you an instant expert status. Imagine reading an article that contains grammatical errors and amateur information. not only will the reader lose interest in your articles, you gave them a chance to doubt your service and expertise.
As such, pay attention to the information you are giving. Proof read your articles and make sure they flow smoothly and have little or no grammar and spelling mistakes.
3) Resource Box – Each and every article that you submit to article directories gives you a chance to put in your resource box. Although you should not bluntly promote your sales pitch with this resource box, you should give as much information as “how you can help your readers”.
If you want to do article marketing, you have to master this technique of writing your resource box. This is your “door” for your readers to visit your website. Instead of telling them about you, tell them what you can do for them. Remember, your business is all about your readers and customers and not you. Without them, you would not even be in a business.
One of the ways to increase your business profit is by introducing upsells. This is such an important aspect of marketing that many new business owners fail to do.
If you look at most of the successful business out there, you will see how they introduce upsells to boast their profits.
Mac Donalds, Burger King, Carl’s Junior. Are they really in a burger business? I must say they are in a coke and fries business. What you really want is to grab a burger. When you are there however, they upsell you on the coke and fries. So instead of paying $3, you end up paying $6 – $7. That is a double considering how much those soda and fries cost.
However, people would not mind because they need to have a drink to accompany their burgers. Adding another $1 or so, they get to have fries of “medium” proportion.. so.. why not?
Here is the truth, people would not mind paying for more if they see the benefit or the value given. Gas station upsells you on sandwiches and potato chips, Cinema and movie theatre upsells you on drinks and nachos, Microsoft upsells you on their softwares like Microsoft Word or Windows professional.
So how can you increase your business profit ? Introduce upsells to your prospects or buyers !
The good thing about upsell is that they already have a credit card at hand and is ready to buy what you have to offer. As such, there is always no harm in asking if they want an “upgrade” for a reasonable value which will benefit them.
If you don’t ask, you will not get and your profit will stay as that. If you ask, you stand a chance of doubling your profit from a single sale. If your upsell offer is good and compelling, they would be a fool not to accept your upsell..
Again, introduce upsells to your primary product if you want to increase your business profit..
