Your brand needs more traffic. An effective PPC marketing strategy can help you achieve this goal by reaching a bigger audience. But to really get results, you need to get just the right amount of traffic. Not too little traffic, not too much that it diminishes the quality of visitors coming to your site. A smart, well-executed PPC campaign requires a great deal of forethought, planning and testing in order to determine how to effectively market your offering and reach your target audience.

Here is a summary of the different ads types and channels that can be used to run your PPC efforts along with a list of super useful PPC technologies that can really help to get ahead: 

Different PPC Ad types  

Text ads 

A text ad is composed of a written copy by the advertiser. Format and character limits are dependant on the PPC platform you are working on. Text ads are most commonly triggered through the Search Network- when users search on Google or Bing for a keyword held within your PPC campaign.

Example text ad

Display ads 

Display adverts are the most common type of ad. This is probably the type of advertising you’ve been exposed to the most and will recognise instantly when it pops ¬up in front of you. Sometimes referred to as banner or graphic ads they can be highly targeted or reach a broader audience, but most importantly they have to catch people’s attention right away to get results!

Creating a shopping ad is simple, especially with the new Google Shopping ads. Once you have created your account, it's time to start building your shopping ad campaign.

Major PPC platforms  

Google ads

Microsoft Advertising   

Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads) is Microsoft's pay per click (PPC) advertising platform. This platform allows advertisers to advertise on Microsoft's search network (Bing.com and Yahoo search properties), as well as on Microsoft's owned and operated properties, such as MSN.

Amazon advertising is the fastest-emerging PPC platform for e-commerce retailers including Amazon sellers. The ability to target specific products allows marketers to optimise campaigns and maximise sales. The self-service nature of Amazon PPC allows marketers to set up campaigns within minutes.
