What would you pay to have an ad on google?

Question

Hi there,

There are some companies out there that you can pay them to advertise your company on google for you.

What is the average cost per click they should be charging?

This one company charges $3 per click, is that too much?

How much do you think I should pay? I don't want to do it my self.

:)

Answer 1

If you can afford $3 a click, then do it, otherwise look around for another company that will charge you a bit less. That sounds like alot of money to be spending with one company.

My friend Advertises her Website in a number of ways, newspaper, business cards and she is also on World Famous Websites - http://www.worldfamouswebsites.com

You need to spread your advertising budget around.

cheers

Answer 2

A lot depends on what your keywords are.

There are some, like "pumps" that are running $5 per click to be in the top 5 listings.

I don't suggest paying that much for a click... ever.

Come up with a qualifier to that word and you will have less click fraud and pay less per click... like $0.50 instead of $5

for "waterjetting pumps" or "charge pumps".

I've been around the world with these stupid firms... they will charge you a hefty up-front fee to set up the Google account, then a monthly administrative fee, and they will set the pay-per-click charge so high that you can't help but be on the top of that page... but you will pay through the nose every time someone hits your link. Could you afford for 100 people to hit your link just to look around and not buy anything? Then you will have paid $300 for nothing.

My advice is to set up your own Google account... watch the tutorials they offer... and watch the keywords you set up. If you get a lot of clicks on something, but no sales, you need to get rid of that keyword.  

Basically, it is a matter of refinement.

Answer 3

volume doesnt exactly equate to dollars so also make your company reputable and exciting. sounds decent but its a lot of money still

Answer 4

Hi,

There are many ways to market a small business on the web.  You can buy banner ads, text links, or use PPC.  However, the best way is to get listed in a bunch of portals. Portals and directories are like phone books, and they often provide a lot of traffic because they tend to rank high on Google.

This portal is giving away a free business card holder for lising your business (I got mine a few days ago in the mail).  If you want to know about some other portals, just let me know.

Answer 5

Cost per click would depend on the price of keywords that you would use in adwords. If you don't like to add additional charge from that company learn how to maintain adwords campaign.

Answer 6

Hi,

You may also advertise on sites and blogs related to your area of business.

Or  you have alternatives like blogads where you may choose sites related to your services.

i really think you should do it your self because how much u pay per click on google depends on how much you bid and the cost of your keywords. let say you have a keyword that worth 0.04 cents. that company would only be paying google 4 cent for that click but you will be paying 3 dollars for a click thats worth 4 cents.
