Webfinder a UK based CPC Network

One of the main downsides to Google’s dominance on the Search engine stage is the increased competition placed on the adwords advertising. Many industries experience click rates as high as £10 – £15 per click which isn’t conducive to generating good returns on investment for many advertisers. As a result companies find themselves torn between investment in CPC which generates that instant traffic and the more long term SEO work which can take months to take effect.

As a result of this dominance a large collection of smaller UK based search engines and directories have team up on the Webfinder CPC network to help provide an added source of traffic in the UK. Webfinder doesn’t claim to be an alternative to Adwords and will never make this claim. But in the same way as google use there content network to deliver traffic. Webfinders CPC network works in very much the same way.

CPC rates due to the low number of advertisers are very low indeed thus helping generate some excellent potential conversions for companies looking for another long term advertising source online.

Can you advertise on Twitter ?

In answer to is it possible already ? In a way yes it already is possible.

Twitter is becoming more and more popular now a days. Originally it started with a bunch of techno geeks and twitter seemed to be another flash in the pan. But it really is begining to take a permenant position as the next best thing to Facebook.

Twitter allows users to simply add one line of text to there account as opposed to the difficult aspect of facebook  and there countless applications. In a way facebook is already used in a very similar way to twitter already. The status that appears on peoples accounts using facebook is in effect the same concept of what Twitter is.

Twitter Advertising for Business

Untill a time comes when Twitter provide cost per click, banner advertising or sponsored tweets business’s will have to remain getting the best out of twitter by using it as a way of broadcasting there blogs rss feeds. A simple tiny url displays on twitter whenever a company updates there blog and this along with the added value of something like twitter feed it results in a great source of free traffic and advertising.

Will Twitter Allow Advertising

Many companies see twitter as a brand that will add a certain image to there existing companies websites. It acts as an indicator to the public that the company is upto date and of modern thinking when it comes to there online presence.

Many companies would benifit from a twitter account in so many different industries. If you ask me the main benifit has to be the integration with a Rss feed from a wordpress blog. We would reccomend you consider a blog setup service that we offer to get your company up and running we setup the all important twitter accounts and there integration with the rss feed totally free of charge.

Google Maps business listings not to be underestimated.

As standard when setting up a business once the website is completed people think nothing of the free google maps listing and complete this with it being a free product in most cases not very seriously. I must admit until a few months ago I was to of the opinion that google maps was nothing more than a free gimmick from google for local companies who may find it useful that provide a particular service for example a garage for mots.

Being a company based in an office and speaking to nearly 99% of our customers over the phone or email I cold quite get the who google maps thing. But when you consider the number of local phrase searches made on google the final piece in the jigsaw falls into place with google maps.

To help you fully understand the potential of a google maps listing for your company here is a little case study -

The localised phrase we are considering for this is “furniture london” this triggers the Google maps listings

6. Include your url or company details as titles in the video itself. A great tip is a email at the end of the video.

Google Adwords Preview Tool

If you use google AdWords already with us and like to check where your ads are positioned during the day. We would recommend you use a specific tool tailored for the job. When you check your ads online again and again you are adding impressions to you ads and reducing the click through ratios. Which in turn will reduce the quality score of the ads.

Also when you check again and again, google made changes a few years ago to AdWords as you are checking your ads and no doubt wont click on them this then results in your ads not displaying on searches as they are deemed as not being revevant to your search. We had a large number of customers that had this problem and had to provide a link to the adword preview tool.

So please do be careful not to over do it when checking your google adwords cpc advertisements it can have a negative effect on your campaign and in the long run cost you money.

Why not try to see your google ads on the adwords preview tool above. Another factor to consider which may be totally unrelated to the point made above is your daily click budget and they way your ads are delivered throughout the day. As this can be in most cases be the main reason for you google ads not displaying when you search.

Google evenly spreads your daily budget throughout the day so if you have a low budget in comparison to the daily amount of traffic provided it can result in ads displaying intermittently throughout the day.
