			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some basic (common sense) stuff you should know when creating landing pages for your Products or Affiliate schemes.Â </p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to make it clear what actions you want your visitor to take right from the start.Â  You can get your visitors attention using graphics, grabbing titles and by portraying multiple benefits. Four seconds isÂ all you have to prove the site is a value to them.</p>
<p>After you have got the visitors attention its important to create desire and build a sense of urgency. This can be done by offering an incentive for them to act nowÂ such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Free Delivery</li>
<li>Sale Price</li>
<li>Limited Membership</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget that a website is not like a book and therefore you should notÂ expectÂ your visitors to read from top to bottom. They will most probably skip all around your site trying to find the section that is most appealing to them. To help your visitor do this you should make clear and readable headings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Click Arbitrage is a method of making money online firstly by looking for cheap traffic from either Google Adwords or another Pay-Per-Click provider,Â once foundÂ then sending the traffic to pages loaded with Contextual adverts, the user will then click another Advert, usually making the owner more money than it cost to get them there in the first place.</p>
<p>This is done on a huge scale and can potentially make tens of thousands of dollars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why use PPC Advertising?<br />
</strong>- More relevant than TV or Radio Ads.<br />
- Better Reach than a Trade Publication</p>
<p>Google UK is the largest site operating in the UK. Google.com is #3 biggest in the world.<br />
Your Ads will be displayed on Google, AOL and ASK Search Engines! As well as 570 million content publishers.<br />
<strong>Generally a Higher Position will result in more Clicks Through.<br />
</strong><br />
Google doesnâ€™t rank Adword Ads as you would probably expect.</p>
<p><strong>RANK = Bid Per Click * Quality Score</strong></p>
<p>Therefore you donâ€™t have to be the highest bidder to rank at the top in Adwords for your keywords, Google is much more for pushing more <strong>click-throughâ€™s</strong> on a <strong>relevant</strong> advert.Â Adwords Quality score is also rated on your account <strong>history</strong> the more successful campaigns youâ€™ve had the better your new ones will do.</p>
<p><strong>Four Main Steps to a Successful Campaign in Adwords.</strong><br />
1. Identify the most valuable users, you do this by having specific goals.<br />
2. Build a Group of Keywords.<br />
3. Test your Ad text. (More on writing a good Adtext later).<br />
4. Measuring Results and Costs</p>
<p><strong>Finding your AIM:<br />
</strong>Your aim is what your trying to achieve when using Adwords.<br />
Sales &#8211; Retail Sites (Try not just to concentrate on your biggest sellers, rather setup Ads for all of them!)<br />
Leads &#8211; Equiries or Phone calls<br />
Sign Ups &#8211; How many people submit there e-mail.<br />
Branding &#8211; Increased Company Awareness.</p>
<p><strong>Keywords</strong><br />
You should <strong>always</strong> look at Synonyms and Miss Spellings<br />
Combine your Keywords and be Specific as possible.</p>
<p><strong>Its a fact that 80% of Internet Users donâ€™t just use one keyword when searching.</strong><strong>You can also use Negative keywords to block out competitors or keywords that make associate your advertisement with something else. This is done by entering the keyword with a minus sign before into Adwords Keyword selection list. â€˜-keywordâ€™.</strong><strong>The Ads Text</strong><br />
With Google Adwords you get four lines of text.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>- Its a good idea to use a strong call to action (tell the user what you want them to do) so â€˜Buy Nowâ€™ or â€˜Sign up Todayâ€™.<br />
- Include Special offers.<br />
- Placing Pricing and Shipping/Location information, if the customer seeâ€™s your item is too expensive or isnâ€™t for delivery in there area they wonâ€™t click, saving you money.<br />
- Be Realistic, donâ€™t promise the earth unless your going to provide it. Theyâ€™ll only click the back button if you do.</p>
<p>- Finally Compare &amp; Contrast, would you click your own Ad?</p>
<p>Your Keywords should be shown in your Ad Text and again on your Landing page.</p>
<p><strong>Landing Pages<br />
</strong>Once your user has clicked your ad, they donâ€™t want to be navigating around your site trying to find the product. Present your user with the appropriate page immediately. Make it easy for the user to purchase.</p>
<p><strong>Its a fact that your visitor makes his/her mind up about your site in the first 8 seconds, making the landing page a crucial factor.</strong></p>
