Will PPC work for your business?
Many businesses fail to make money when using Pay Per Click advertising for various reasons, the most common are listed below:

- Low sale value -If you sell products that have a low sale value you will have a low gross profit value using Pay Per Click
- Website Conversion Ratio is Low - If you attract many visitors to your Pay Per Click ad but very few purchase products after clicking then this is bad PPC management
- Click-Thru costs are high - Bidding the maximum amount for every Keyword will only result in high Pay Per Click costs
- Landing Pages not relevant- The web page your Pay Per Click ad redirects too should be relevant and not just pointed to your home page
- Non-Prospect clicks - Ensure that people who will not purchase from you do not click your ad by wording it accordingly or Geo-Targeting words
- Competitive Analysis- Many businesses do not look at their competitors advertising campaigns or budgets and may be forced to pay more than they expect to compete
