While PPC can be a very significant type of advertising, there are common mistakes that you want to avoid. One of them is using your homepage instead of a landing page. You want the link to take them to exactly what captured their attention in the first place. If you are sending them to the homepage they have to search for it from there. Most people simply aren't going to take the time to do so.

If you are going to bid on keywords, you need to offer enough that you can get a great ranking on the search engines. Realistically, if you aren't on that first page when people are looking around then they may never notice you. It is worth it to pay more money for a better location so that you can generate more income from this type of advertising.

Make sure you take the time to test it all as well. Too many people assume it is all like it should be, and then they are discouraged when they don't get good results from PPC advertising. However, if the link isn't working then you can't get those results so always take the time to test them.

Pay close attention to your conversion rates as well. You don't want to pay for advertising that doesn't get you results. Since scams can sometimes occur with PPC advertising you also want to pay attention to that as well. Look for too many ISP's that are the same as that can indicate someone is just clicking on the link to get paid.
