The Big List of PPC Resources & Articles

Posted by Tom_C

This post needs very little introduction. I’ve scoured the web, my bookmarks and twitter (thanks guys!) for all the very best articles about PPC that I can find. I’ve broken the links down into several categories to make it easier to read. Enjoy!

Campaign Management

All those articles on how to improve your campaign, tips, tricks and campaign advice.

Best of class: starting a PPC campaign from scratch by Rimm Kaufman

The rest:

• Google lady with 51 Adwords tips
• Digerati marketing with 3 tips to improve CTR
• Redfly marketing helps take the guesswork out of PPC campaign set up
• Redfly marketing gives 10 tips to increase your quality score
• PPC Hero on following Yahoo’s PPC advice
• Sitepronews on how to turn around an unprofitable PPC campaign
• SEOmoz chips in with 17 common PPC mistakes
• Netbusiness blog looks at 8 adwords mistakes
• SEOmoz with a whiteboard friday on PPC management
• PPC Hero with 6 settings to double check before setting a new account live
• Sitepoint with some of the worst adwords mistakes
• Searchengineguide with 5 common PPC mistakes
• Me! Talking about PPC! ON VIDEO! no way.

Tools

Here are a few handy PPC tools to streamline your processes.

Best of class: Search Light Digital’s PAM-VAR Tool. It’s neat and handy and let’s you efficiently run your tests.

The rest:

• Google’s ad preview tool. Allows you to check your ads are running and how they look
• Google’s traffic estimator. Does what it says on the tin
• Self hosted PPC tracking software. Not used it myself but recommended.
• Vertster have a neat little statistical significance test

Landing Page Advice

Of course PPC management is only one part of the process. You need to make sure that you’re sending the traffic to a page which is working hard for you. How do you go about testing that? What should you improve on your landing page? All below my avid reader!

Best of class: Copyblogger does a comprehensive roundup of their own stuff on landing pages. Essential reading.

The rest:

• SEOmoz talks landing pages
• ROI Revolution share 3 landing page tips
• SEL shares some practical landing page tricks
• SEO Design Solutions writes on landing pages which appeal to motivated searchers (like PPC traffic)
• Anywired discusses 13 sure signs that your landing page is a turn off
• Postclickmarketing looks at how you scale your landing pages
• SEM Geek looks at optimising paid search and landing pages for TV, radio and print advertising. Compelling reading.
• 9 myths of landing page quality score

Headline Tips From The Dali Lama

See what I did there? Headlines are important see. They need to grab your attention. Never more so than in PPC.

Best of class: Google Lady shares some really in depth things to try with headlines for PPC along with detailed examples

The rest:

• Lyndon from Cornwallseo shares some headline writing tips. More for linkbait than PPC but good reading.
• Copy Blogger looks at how to write compelling headlines
• Copy Blogger again.. More good stuff
• Freelanceswitch on how to write headlines that kill
• Google conversion university tips on headlines. Basic but it’s good to go over this stuff

Maths

When you’re running PPC campaigns maths comes in handy. There’s actually surprisingly little written about this, I was expecting to find more. Please chip in with your own links in the comments. No best of class since there’s only 2 links!

• Distilled: PPC lessons from Kenny Rogers (advanced maths)
• Searchlaboratory (who work just across the road from where I used to live!) share some PPC stats secrets

Analytics

Tracking, tracking, tracking. If you can’t measure it then what good is it?

Best of class: hack Google Analytics to show actual search queries for broad match AND find the referring domain (useful for SEO too)

The rest:

• Use Google Analytics to get proper ad scheduling data

Other

Here are all the other articles I didn’t think really fit into any other categories. Some general stuff, stats, rapping etc. All worth checking out.

• Searchenginewatch discuss playing dirty with PPC
• Google’s own tutorial. Dull in places but worth checking on the basics
• Bigmouthmedia on affiliate PPC spending by region (of the UK). Interesting
• A PPC rap. No, really! If you haven’t seen this then check it out!
• Ewhisper with how to lower your minimum bid (aka quality score)

    I would hint setting mental object commercializing, let me explicate. You can get a video recording professionally created for just about $47.00 97.00 (30-60 seconds) pointing your splendid desk drawer slide. You can even test how comfortable it is to destruct your competitors and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword search done for you professionally, describing the keyword phrases that will get you a adequate amount of search volum, yes with softer competing pages. Thank you for this article! I’ve just found a surely wonderful news archive about seo marketing Examine it!
