Use PPC Advertising

PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising is an effective online marketing tactic can drive massive amounts of traffic toward your free website. You (the advertiser) pay for ads for your website, only when the ads get clicks. These ads can be placed in search engines (alongside the organic, or unpaid search results), content websites (i.e. blogs and forums) and advertising networks. These are the “special” links that appear near or above the "natural" results when you search for something in Google. Content websites usually charge a fixed price for a click rather than use the bidding mechanism common on search engines. When a user clicks on your ad, they are directed toward your website, where they are immediately exposed to your product or service.

Advantages of PPC Advertising

  • You choose your price. You decide exactly how much you're going to spend by limiting your budget. For search engine advertising, you can choose a different price for every keyword you bid on. Clever advertisers find ways to optimize their bids and keep their costs low.

  • You decide where and when. With PPC advertising, you can be very specific about where you want your ads to appear, you have total control over your keywords at all times and you can make changes on a daily basis. The keywords work for you, chief.

  • You pay only for success. The most amazing thing about PPC is that you pay only when someone clicks on your ad and visits your site. Each click is an opportunity to convert your visitors into happy customers. Other forms of advertising make you pay even if the visitor never actually makes it to your site. Not cool.

Get Relevant Traffic

So you've got to create ads with keywords that are clear and relevant to the content on your Flash website, your product and your services. Google's free Keyword Tool can help you determine which keywords are as specific as possible to your target market that users are looking for. This will cause you to receive more relevant clicks.

Design Landing Pages

Landing pages are meant to “continue the dialogue” with the clicking users and turn them into customers. With Wix's website builder, you can easily design multiple landing pages for users who clicked on your PPC ads. Attractive, effective and creative landing pages will optimize the users' clicks and raise the earning potential of each visit.
