As the name suggests, it has something to do with link clicking. Your objective is to use sales ads that are linked to your website. When people click the ad, they go directly to your website.
One of your many objectives is to create a compelling ad that people will read and want to click and go to your website. You only have three lines of text and an area for your headline to work with. So make your ad concise, but persuasive.
Your ad needs a headline which will grab the attention of your reader so she will read the rest of your ad which should entice your reader to click your ad and go to your website. You need to employ basic copy writing skills when you create your ad.
Look at the other ads on the page to get an idea of how others write ads. Use your favorite search engine and pull up a search results page in your target niche. On the far right side of the page you will see a column heading, sponsored sites.
The ads in that column are pay per click ads. Each time someone clicks on the ad, the person placing the ad is charged the price he or she has bid for that particular place on that search engine page. The higher the ad is ranked, the higher the pay per click price.
Do not click the ads for the sake of clicking them or to view that person’s website. This is not good internet marketing etiquette because you will only be adding to that marketer’s ad cost. You can learn a lot however, by simply reading the ads.
Once understand what ads look like, you are ready to open your own pay per click account. This is a simple process with any search engine you decide to advertise on. All you do is follow the easy to follow steps.
Once you have your account, you can create an ad campaign. Use the keyword tool to find keywords to target with your campaign. Enter the name of your online niche to start. You will then see many keywords related to your target market.
Now create your first ad and set a bid for each keyword. You can start with the minimum bid of five cents per keyword.
According to the popularity of the keyword you might have to bid higher to get your ad in the first page of search results. It is best to start off with a low bid and bid higher rather than bid high and not knowing you could have bid lower for the same page position. The bidding process is an art that you will learn as you develop your pay per click skills.
When you learn pay per click, you will find that it is a great way to advertise you internet business.

The difference looking forward to 2011 is that this is the first time that consumer behavior and mobile platforms have reached sufficient scale for mobile to move beyond an emerging media tactic for mainstream marketers.

• Work within a framework for establishing a set of clear objectives for their mobile marketing strategy
• Move beyond the checklist approach with a filter for evaluating the myriad of opportunities within mobile
• Think of ways to use mobile to merge online and offline strategies, as a hub that bridges the gap
• Encourage a dialogue about what matters in mobile now, and what’s ahead for this new and exciting medium
In addition to leveraging the insights from members of the 360i mobile marketing team, the Playbook also includes guest commentary by industry luminaries Noah Elkin (Senior Analyst at eMarketer), Mickey Alam Khan (Editor in Chief at Mobile Marketer), Valerie Brown (Director of Consumer Marketing at Bravo) and Naoki Muramatsu (VP, Digital Business Development of Dentsu Holdings USA).
