This evening seminar provides a comprehensive guide to building and managing successful pay-per-click campaigns, from choosing and bidding for keywords to writing effective copy and integrating PPC with a wider campaign.

Pay-per-click (PPC), or paid search, is the fastest growing form of online advertising.

PPC enables the smallest of businesses to advertise online, while at the same time delivering impressive levels of ROI for large clients such as BT, Dell and Opodo.

In 2003, paid-for search listings accounted for 36% of the UK online advertising market (second only to banner advertising), according to research by the IAB and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Some analysts are predicting 70% annual growth in the UK PPC market this year, taking its value to over £70 million. Google's IPO, Yahoo!'s acquisition of Overture & Inktomi, and MSN's much-talked-about plans to unveil new search services have all focused attention on the benefits of pay-per-click.

This evening seminar goes beyond the basics to provide a comprehensive guide to building and managing successful pay-per-click campaigns, from choosing and bidding for keywords to writing effective copy and integrating PPC with a wider campaign.

Topics include:

  • Managing your campaign
  • Bidding strategy
  • Effective keyword selection
  • Paid search as part of a wider, integrated campaign
  • Copywriting - maximising the impact of that 25-character headline
  • Tools and automation
  • Future developments
