It is important when placing pay per click advertising on the internet that you understand who will be viewing your ads. What is the target market and demographic of the audience of the pay per click provider? Where will they be placing your ads? Will they place your ads on their own search engine site, on their partners search engine sites, or even other content based websites? All of these questions are important to minimize the risk of overspending. Remember your goal is not how many people see your ad or how many people click on your ad, but how many highly targeted consumers will click your ad and purchase from your website. The key is not getting the most clicks, but maximizing your conversions and your return on investment.

Someone once said search engine marketing is much like playing 3-D chess - it’s very complex and multi-dimensional. In order for you to win you have to not only select the right keywords and match them up with the right content but that content must match the searchers desired target as well as select the right search vehicle for each of your keywords.

The common misconception is that once the Search Engine Marketing (SEM) campaign is set up it can run itself. Even if your campaign is going great in the first month, you need to develop and fine-tune all campaign elements over the next 4-5 months. We at Trendhaus know that the longer you run SEM campaigns and “tweak” them, the more successful they become (for the same amounts of media budget). So, over the next six months, invest some time in your campaign performance. Follow these steps consistently and turn your SEM campaign into a long term sales engine!

It´s true that Danny Sullivan is indirectly responsible for the formation of SEMpdx (Portland´s SEM Organization). At the 2006 SES Seattle Conference, in a conversation with Anvil Media´s Kent Lewis, Danny inadvertently (for he´s too nice a guy to do something like this deliberately) slighted our Rose City. When Kent relayed Danny´s comments to Scott Orth, the desire to form a local SEM organization that would be the envy of much bigger marketplaces was born. One year later, I can state unequivocally that being one of the founding board members has been an extremely valuable, enriching experience.
