What is PPC?

PPC stands for “pay per click” and is the most popular model for advertising online. You only pay every time a potential customer clicks on your advertisement.

I just signed up but see $0.00 in my account! Where’s my $20 credit?

Simply click on Advertiser Center, where you’ll be prompted to activate your $20 advertising credit. You’ll see it deposited immediately after activation.

I don’t want to spend too much – can I set a threshold?

Yes! You can set a maximum price you are willing to pay per click for each website and you can also set a daily or monthly spend. That way, you never go over budget.

What’s site-targeting?

Site-targeting allows you to advertise on websites that are relevant to your business. So if you own a Web Hosting business like Lunarpages, you won’t end up advertising on a sport-related website. You can choose multiple categories from 20 different options and edit these at any time.

What’s geo-targeting and how does that benefit me?

Geo-targeting is “geographical targeting” for your advertisements, which means you only display your ads where you want, in any geographical range you determine. You can easily benefit from only targeting the countries or local markets where your product is best served. For example, you may not want to advertise for SUVs in England but you’d be more likely to in America.

How do I know how much to bid per click?

BidVertiser shows you the current and minimum bids for each specific category and lets you set your own maximum bid based on these stats. To get the top bid, you will want to stay competitive, but you can always alter your bid at any time.

You can also see who’s competing for these same categories by clicking on “Show All”.

How do I create my ad?

After you’ve set all the parameters above, you’ll be directed to a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) ad editor, where you need to fill out your ad’s title, two lines of advertising text, and your URLs.

What’s the difference between a display URL and a Target URL?

In online advertising, you may want your customers to see one URL but direct them to another. Especially for tracking campaigns, this is almost essential. For example, in the above ad, I want the advertisement to show “www.lunarpages.com/best-deal” because customers can easily remember this URL and they will see that this is a special deal for them. However, I want to track it with an affiliate URL as the target URL, which my potential customers never see.
