USLINX.com Beginner's Guide
This document is designed to help newcomers understand how to advertise with pay per click (PPC) search engines. The concepts in this guide are easy to follow and can be used for any PPC site.
Pay Per Click Search Basics
USLINX.com enables advertisers to bid on keywords to list their sites in Internet search results. The amount bid determines the rank of the advertised site. The bid price represents the cost to advertiser; it's how much the advertiser is charged each time a consumer clicks on a PPC result and visits the advertiser's site. Advertisers will commonly bid on multiple "keywords" or "keyword phrases" to increase the number of potential customers who see their results and visit their sites. The pay per click advertiser who bids the most will be listed first on the search result page.
So, how do you get started?
Step 1: Think About Your Business!
- What products or services do you sell?
- Who is your target customer?
- What words are your target customers most likely to use when looking for your product or service?
- bicycle
- bicycles
- bike
- cycling
- bicycle tire
- bicycle tires
- helmet
- bike jersey
- Schwinn
Step 2: Create an Account
If you have not done so yet, create an account on USLINX.com. This is easy and will take only a few minutes. To create an account, click on "Add Your Site" at the bottom of any USLINX.com page. You will be asked a few questions and then your password will be emailed to you within a few minutes.
Step 3: Log Into Your Account
Now that you have created an account, you can log in to get started. Go to: USLINX.com
Enter your user name and the password that was emailed to the address you used when creating the account. Remember that the password is case-sensitive (meaning that lowercase and uppercase letters are recognized). If you have forgotten your password, you can click on "Forgot/Lost Password" to have it sent again.
Step 4: Add Keywords
First, click on "Manage Listings". This will bring up a simple form. The first box is called "Add Term". In this box, you can enter the keyword phrase you choose. The next box is for the "Title". In our earlier example for Bill's Bike Shop, a title may be "Bill's Bike Shop - Top Brand Bikes!" The title usually includes the name of your website and a short slogan or generic description. It must be no longer than 50 characters. (A character is any letter, number, symbol or space.) Now, enter a longer "Description" of your site. The description can be up to 190 characters long and should give the visitor a simple idea of what your site sells. For our example, a description may be "We have been providing the top name brand bicycles and parts to our customers for over 30 years. Items can be shipped within 3 days anywhere in the country and make great gifts!" This is where you should sell yourself to the customer and entice them to visit your website.
Remember: Do not lie! Don't say anything that is not true and don't tell users you sell anything you don't sell. While using a false description may get you more traffic, it will not be "qualified traffic" and visitors will leave immediately.
Next, enter your "Site URL". The Site URL is the web address that someone would type in to reach your website. For example, our URL is http://www.USLINX.com. Make sure to enter the FULL URL, including the "http://" before the website address.
Last, you should see a box called "Bid". This is where you enter the amount you are willing to pay to have your site listed under a particular keyword phrase. The more you pay, the higher you will be listed and, typically, the more traffic you will receive. You can either leave your Initial Bid set to the default, which is "$0.01", or you can change the bid price to a higher amount to ensure maximum exposure; we recommend $0.10.
When you are done filling in the boxes on this page, press the button labeled "Add Terms" and submit your pay per click keywords.
Do you think you need to bid on all of the plural forms of your products? Not with USLINX.com! For example, if you are bidding on "bicycles", you do not need to include both forms "bicycle" and "bicycles" in your bid terms. The plural form will automatically be included. If you enter a plural form that USLINX.com understands, it will automatically be converted into a singular form. This means if you add the term "greeting cards" it will be converted into "greeting card" in your account. If someone searches for either the singular or the plural forms, they will find your listing.
Step 5: Fund Your Account
USLINX.com works on a debit account system, meaning you must pre-pay your account in order to receive traffic. When your funds run out, we stop the advertising until you fund your account again. This works out well for many advertisers because they can set a spending limit - you will never receive a bill from USLINX.com.
To fund your account, click "Balance". There are many payment options available, but the simplest and quickest is to pay using your credit card. The funding is immediate. Other options are to use the free service "PayPal.com" or to mail us a check or money order. The minimum payment is $10 for first-time customers and $25 for return customers. As soon as the payment is posted to your account, your advertising will be live and your site can begin to receive traffic.
Step 6: Adjust Your Bids
Now that your account is active, you should adjust your bids to make sure you are in the optimum position. The first thing to do is decide how much you are willing to pay. The more you are willing to pay, the higher you will be listed in a search and, typically, the more traffic you will receive. It is NOT always best to be number one, however; you should only bid as much as you're willing to spend to get a customer to your site.
How should you decide how much to bid? Let's look at an example. Let's say that Bill (from Bill's Bike Shop) receives 100 visitors to his site, and that of every 100 visitors, 5 visitors buy something. Bill also knows that on average when a customer buys something, he makes $10 profit. That means:
5 paying customers x $10 profit per customer = $50 profit
$50 total profit / 100 visitors = 50 cents-per-visitor profit
Using simple math, we see that even though not every visitor buys something, on average a visitor is worth 50 cents profit for Bill's store. That means that Bill can afford to pay up to 50 cents per click to "break even". If he pays any more than 50 cents per click, he will lose money; if he pays less than 50 cents per click, he will make money. Bill may decide that he wants to spend, at most, half of his profits on advertising. This means Bill wants to be listed as high as possible while paying 25 cents per customer.
There are two options for adjusting your bids: "Manage Listings" and the "Update Bids" page. Manage Listings is the easiest and quickest way to adjust your bids. If you click on "Manage Listings", you can enter the maximum amount you are willing to spend and click " Update!" Our software will intelligently adjust all of your listings to the highest position possible without paying more than the amount you entered. We highly recommend you use Manage Listings!
If you wish to change your bids manually, you can use the " Update Bids" option. This will show you all of your keywords along with the top 5 bid amounts currently paid by other USLINX customers. You can manually adjust your bids so that you gain the position you want. When you are done make sure to submit your changes.
Step 7: Start Seeing Results!
That's it! Your account should now be live and you will begin receiving traffic. You should still plan to log in to review your account activity, adjust your bids and make sure your account is funded. A healthy account is a well-tended account. Adjustments in keyword lists, bid prices and advertising (title and description) copy can all have a large impact on your success. The amount of traffic you receive will depend on many variables:
- Popularity of your keyword phrases
- Relevance of your keywords to your product
- What position you are listed in under each keyword phrase
- How interesting your site description is to a searcher
