Mediaboss Marketing

Youve heard the terms thrown around, PPC, SEM, SEO, Google AdWords, CPM, but what do they all mean. Search Engine Marketing or SEM, was once was used as an umbrella term to encompass both SEO (search engine optimization) and paid search activities PPC. Over time, the industry has adopted the SEM acronym to refer solely to paid search.

At BH Digital Marketing Services, we generally use SEM and/or PPC to refer to paid listings, with the term of search marketing being used to encompass both SEO and SEM. We have also listed some of the most common terms also used to refer to SEM activities:

PPC stands for pay-per-click, a form of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Essentially, you are buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to earn those visits organically. Search engine advertising is one of the most popular forms of PPC. It allows advertisers to bid for ad placement in a search engine's sponsored area when someone searches on a keyword that is related to their business offering. For example, if we bid on the keyword Digital Marketing Lexington, our ad might show up in the very top spot on the Google results page.

Every time our ad is clicked, sending a visitor to our website, we have to pay the search engine a small fee. When PPC is working correctly, the fee is trivial, because the visit is worth more than what you pay for it. In other words, if we pay $3 for a click, but the click results in a $300 sale, then weve made a hefty profit.

A lot goes into building a winning PPC campaign: from researching and selecting the right keywords, to organizing those keywords into well-organized campaigns and ad groups, to setting up PPC landing pages that are optimized for conversions. Search engines reward advertisers who can create relevant, intelligently targeted pay-per-click campaigns by charging them less for ad clicks. If your ads and landing pages are useful and satisfying to users, Google charges you less per click, leading to higher profits for your business. So if you want to start using PPC, its important to learn how to do it right.

Google AdWords (PPC) is the most popular paid search platform used by search marketers and here at BH Digital, followed by Bing Ads, which also serves a significant portion of ads on Yahoo. Each platform offers its own getting started guides and helpful tutorials, but can be cumbersome to follow to make the best impact for your business if you do not know how to use the platform.

AdWords operates on a pay-per-click model, in which users bid on keywords and pay for each click on their advertisements. Every time a search is initiated, Google digs into the pool of AdWords advertisers and chooses a set of winners to appear in the valuable ad space on its search results page. The winners are chosen based on a combination of factors, including the quality and relevance of their keywords and ad campaigns, as well as the size of their keyword bids.

More specifically, who gets to appear on the page is based on an advertisers Ad Rank, a metric calculated by multiplying two key factors CPC Bid (the highest amount an advertiser is willing to spend) and Quality Score (a value that takes into account your click-through rate, relevance, and landing page quality). This system allows winning advertisers to reach potential customers at a cost that fits their budget. Its essentially a kind of auction.

FARMINGTON San Juan College'sEnterprise Center will offer several marketing presentations to help business owners get out the word about their products and ideas.

The center andWESST, a business development organization, will host a free "bring your lunch" presentation on Thursday entitled "Marketing: Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail."

Enterprise Center Director Judy Castleberry will present at the event, which is part of a series of 12business-related presentations that will be offered this year.

Also, on Feb. 2,the Farmington Small Business Development Centerwill offer three workshops for small businesses that focus on internet marketing.

Castleberry said many of the questions the Enterprise Center an organization thatprovides services and resources to new and existing businessesreceives deal with marketing. She said businesses that don't plan for marketing end up spendingmoney on other items and then run out of funds when it comes times to market themselves.

"It's more than just sticking up a sign and saying 'for sale.' It's about the entire message:branding, where do I want to advertise, what makes my business special and different in the marketplaceand who is my target audience,"she said.

Castleberry also plans to speak about how marketing has evolved, particularly as it has moved to the internet.

"Now consumers want conversation, they want to give comments," she said. "Marketing is now more about a dialogue than a monologue."

It's more than just sticking up a sign and saying 'for sale.' It's about the entire message: branding, where do I want to advertise, what makes my business special and different in the marketplace and who is my target audience.

While Chris Hunter, director of Farmingtons WESST office, agreed social media is a crucial part of modern marketing, he said having a website is still important for many businesses. Websites allow owners to list more information about their products and post resources.

"A website also allows you to have permanency,"he said.

Hunter said his organization helps businesses fine-tune their marketingby targeting customers.

"We have to find out who, ideally, will value what the business has to sell," he said. "We help them sharpen their product or service, help them place their product, help figure out pricing and how to promote the product, so customers can understand how their business is different, and why different can be better."

The Small Business Development Center'sworkshops next month willfocus on social media, online marketing and building a website. The featuredspeaker will beEric Spellmann, who developed apopular marketing video series.

"I don't believe (local business owners) are fully up on social media and the website aspect of business," said Carmen Martinez, director of the Small Business Development Center. "Websites are supposed to be a selling tool that help retailers reach out to others. We need to try to expand our selling base, especially since the economy isn'tas great as it could be."
