Hi all!

Just wanted to share some tips I advice some of my clients at MixCat.com

For PayPerClick campaigns, don't just rely on using top keywords for your PPC campaign - this is the reason why others are failing. Bidding on top keywords will yield you less as competition for these are stiff already. The technique here is opting for other long tail keywords that is more likely to yield specific results because specific searches on long tail keywords or phrases are the ones that usually convert. Those who employ such search are more likely to buy IMO.

PPC is a trial and error campaign for newbies. Always test the water before jumping in. Be cautious on how much you bid at first, weigh first what keywords convert in your niche after a test run so you will know what works and what doesn't. There are two ways of bidding - the agressive (high) and conservative (low). This will greatly depend on how much budget you are willing to put in.

You should also try out other PPC providers for more reach on your campaign and to test what PPC platforms works best for you.

I like using phrases that are more localized. There isn't as much competition and many individuals search for local results (especially if they are buying a product).

I use a tool to monitor my real time web traffic. The disguise is a customer chat support box but I can use it monitor every ip address on my site, where they came from, what are doing on my site and who reffered them. It is powerful in accumulating click fraud info.
