Pay Per Click (PPC) is the most popular lead generation method used by most internet marketer. The goal of PPC marketing is to capture your prospect contact information initially.  Once a prospect opts in to your marketing list then you may start to build a relationship through personal contact or auto responder. The way you set up your PPC campaign is the single most determining factor in whether your results are futile or not.

PPC may also be the most expensive marketing strategy if done incorrectly. Google can go through a $5,000 credit card in about one hour whether it is a good or bad campaign.  Google is not concern with whether your campaign works as long as the information seeker clicks on your ads.  The amazing part is that your $5,000 might not net you any leads at all.  The effectiveness of your PPC campaign to produce targeted leads is dependent on a number of factors.

Google’s campaigns tend to be more expensive while campaigns on Yahoo and MSN tend to be more inexpensive.  The most critical initial step is determining your target market. Your target market will determine all of your web marketing strategies whether you are using PPC, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or any other marketing tactics. Research the keywords that you will bid on for your campaign.

You must think carefully about your marketing budget and how much you are willing to pay for a click.  The minimum is always the easier to figure because everyone would love to pay the least amount as possible for a click.  Your maximum that you would be willing to pay is critical especially the more competitive the keyword.  The ultimate goal is to be on page one of Google, Yahoo or MSN.    Impressions are how many times your ad is seen which is determined by a number of factors such as bidding the right amount, writing a good ad that is relevant to your keywords and page.

The foundation of your marketing is built on your target market and knowing what they are looking for. The better you are at getting into the mind set of your target market the greater chance that your campaign will succeed.  PPC as a web marketing strategy will help you generate some targeted leads to your website.  It is an art to getting the right people to click your ad, one of the best resources to learn advance PPC is Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to

You must use an auto submitter that allows you to spin your article into original content.  If instance, you wrote10 articles on your targeted keywords and submitted to over 100 Article directories you would have just placed 1000 back links leading back to your blog or website. You may use a service like Ping.fm to syndicate your content to over 20 Social Media sites for 200+ back links.  The search engines must know that you have new content on your blog so ping it on Pingomatic.com or some other directory.  Onlywire is great free or low cost service to social bookmark your articles on sites such Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon etc.  Squidoo and Hubpages because of their respective page rank are great places to put your original content also.

Leads are the bloodline of your home internet business opportunity so the more targeted leads that you generate the better.  The search engines rewards original content and originality and your articles may be re-published by publishers with your signature resource box intact. Article writing creates back-links to your website/blog for your home internet business opportunity. Article writing may be time consuming so the option to outsource your article writing is a great alternative.

You could write your money articles and outsource the rest of the articles that you require to rank on the search engine for your targeted keywords. The relationship that you have between the people who writes your articles with is very important.  You would want to give them the headline, targeted keywords and a little insight into your philosophy about said topic.  The strategies discussed above will help you penetrate into the highly competitive keywords arena.  The prime objective is to generate traffic and getting into your sales funnel for your home internet business opportunity.

The main goal of a Web Marketing Strategy is generating traffic to your blog or website.  Google is one the main platform to generate traffic using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or PPC.  SEO is based on a number of factors, such as your targeted keywords, content and back links.  A back links is an anchored text leading back to your blog or website from another blog or website.  For example:  Steady Wins the Race with Back links

Back links are like power juice to your site the more links the better chance that your blog or website will rank on Google. Each back links represent that people like your content and are sharing it. The only problem is that not all back links are created equal, Google evaluate the strength of the link based on where it originate.

A forum posts on Betternetworker.com would carry more weight than one from a forum that is spammer’s paradise.  The more stringent the forum “police” is on spammers the better chance that your back links in the form of your signature file would rank better in Google’s eyes.

There are many different strategies to generate back links some of the ways are listed below in no particular order:

1. Buying Links
* irrelevancy possible locations that your links will be placed on, ice cream next to oil for example

2. Directories

* More relevant than buying links because links are placed in your targeted categories

3. Forum posts
* good link juice but poor link quality in spammy forums

4. Blog commenting
* good link juice same issue as Forums

5. Content Swaps
* excellent link juice

6. Article and Content publishing
* good link juice and loses link strength because of blog roll

7. RSS & Social Book Marking

8. Profile pages

9. Web 2.0 properties

The 9 listed methods listed above have different good and bad points about them.  The best method is content swaps with another blogger for instance.  You appear as a guest blogger on his blog and he does the same thing on yours.  The blog posts will have your anchor text in bound links in each of them respectively.  This is truly the truest form of link juice that you can receive.

RSS, Social book marking, profile pages and Web 2.0 properties are probably the weakest right now.  It remains to be seen how Google will change the rules regarding Social Media.  Facebook, Twitter and others are growing in leap and bound.  Google can not ignore this trend so empty profiles pages might start effecting your page rank while active participation in these communities will increase your page rank.

The ultimate prize is to generate traffic to your blog or website, but the next task at hand is to convert them to subscribers or business partners.  The next aspect of your Web Marketing Strategy and S.E.O is your on page organization.  The building of back links are more of the off page activities.  The way you have your blog or website set up is the next phase in converting traffic.  The next tip will focus on the on page activities.  Google ranks pages and not website so having the right blend of relevancy is very important.

Video marketing dictates that you know your target market.  When you have done the necessary research to figure out what keywords you would like to get on the first page of Google with. The keyword that is entered into a Google search by a seeker of information is a possible market. Invest some time into figuring out at least 10 keywords that you would like to be on page one of Google.

Let take a look at a keyword like dogs which is a very general keyword.  German shepherd dogs would be a better long tail keyword.  A long tail keyword is normally 2 or more words that are more targeted.  A person who owns a German shepherd dog would be a niche because the products or services that they require would pertains to the needs of a German shepherd (another possible keyword).  When you have your keywords, then it is time to get the video started.

Click here to view the embedded video.

You may format your video as if you telling a story that should last about 2 to 6 minutes. You have about 10 to 15 seconds to grab the viewer attention. You may introduce a problem or issue that a person who owns a German shepherd dog might face.  The solution is then presented with a strong call to action is required.  You either direct them to a blog or website that would present the solution in more detail.

Video marketing is a great way to Market your business, but if you don’t live up to your claims, then you will be instantly viewed in a negative light. If you say you are going to reveal an amazing secret, make sure you reveal it.  The second that the viewer does not trust you, your credibility is out the window. You might have a great video, but if you are missing one key ingredient you will not be able to generate leads.

Wow your video has 10,000 views but only one person opt into your list.  Your content must absolutely match the title of your video.  I have watched many videos where the content had nothing to do with the title.   If your title says that it is training German shepherd how to walk on their hind legs, then your videos better pertains to that.  If your views are not translating into generate traffic and leads, then your message might be kinked somewhere.

Video marketing is an easy way to generate traffic and free leads for you business.  Your video will do this for an indefinite amount of time.  It is best to do a great job at the onset then to have to go back and make changes later.  Any changes made normally put you back to the bottom of the ranking for Google.  It is better to live the ounce of pain of discipline then the heavy weigh of regret.
