PPC, or pay-per-click is exactly what its name implies. You pay for each click that goes to your site. There are pros and cons of using PPC, as there are for just about any other form of traffic generation.

How does PPC work? Basically with PPC, you bid either a specific

amount or a range of amounts on specific keywords. When web surfers type in your desired keyword in a search engine, a link to your site will occur with their search results. Your placement in the list of advertisers is determined by the price you bid for the click. Genera

PPC tip: Although the highest spot in the PPC rankings gets the most clicks, those cl

The advantage to PPC is that you can generally

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

enerate large quantities of clicks in short periods of time, especially if you are willing to pay a little more for your clicks. This makes PPC ideal for testing campaigns. For example, you have just written a new squeeze page script, and are excited about it. You plan to

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

se the new script with an ezine ad you have scheduled for next week in a publication that usually pulls a nice response rate. But you want to test the opt-in rate on your new squeeze page first.

In one day, given a reasonable budget, you can easily get 100 or a 1000 hits to

In some PPC campaigns, you have the option of rotating different URLs, so you can actuall

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

test as you go, testing 3 or 4 squeeze pages at one time, and then decide to use the most responsive one for your expensive ad.

The downside to PPC ads is that it is easy to get side tracked and keep adding more and more keywords that are less and less related to your topic

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

just because you want more clicks. Over time, your cost per click goes up, your revenue per lead goes down, and if you are not careful, you are very quickly losing money on your PPC campaign.

So the word to the wise here is, watch your PPC results very carefully. Unlike ez

ne advertising or article marketing or even a well-placed classified ad, PPC works every day, day in and day out. This is great, when it is profitable. But when it is not, you can spend more money faster than you realize it.

When an ezine ad breaks, you tend to get a huge

pike in traffic, leads, and sales. Because it is a spike and it happens in a short, predictable period of time, you can easily and quickly assess the profitability of the ad and make a decision about running it again.

But with PPC, because it is ongoing, and there is steady

So how do you manage PPC?

Just like any other form of advertising, you must have separate squeeze pages and auto re

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

ponders at work. Now if you bid on 1000 words in a PPC campaign, you obviously don’t want 1000 different squeeze pages and auto responders. But I would recommend a few.

You can break them down according to types of keywords or the tightness of the targeting of the keywords

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

So for example, if you have a dog supply web site, and you are building a list of people who buy do supplies, you would obviously have keywords like these:

Dog supplies

Dog food

Dog leashes

Dog training manuals

These words are relatively tightly targeted, and on topic.

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

Perhaps you are quite successful at converting these types of keywords, and want more traffic. So you add keywords like these:

Pet supplies

Pet food

Pet leashes

Pet training manuals

These keywords, although they should include people who buy dog supplies, are less tigh

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

ly targeted. Now, you will catch more dog people by adding these keywords in, simply because some people who are looking for dog supplies will not type in the dog supplies keyword, rather they will type in the pet supplies keyword. But you will also have goldfish, iguana, a

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

nd cat people going to your page. Which is fine, as long as you are effectively monetizing the dog people who go to your site.

In this case, I would set up a separate squeeze page for the tightly targeted group of keywords, and a separate one for the less tightly targeted k

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

ywords. I would also set up a separate auto responder for each, so that I could track over time my income from each group.

Now, if you have a pet supplies web site, then I would do my tracking somewhat differently.

I might have a separate web squeeze page and auto responde

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

for each of the categories of animals or products.

For example, I might have one squeeze page for dog keywords, another for cat keywords, and so on. Or you could have a squeeze page for each category or supplies, for example, one page for food, another for supplies, and an

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

ther for training, manuals.

Keep in mind, your individual site, purpose, and structure is going to be different than many of the examples I provide. These examples are just that--examples. They are designed to give life to the principles and steps involved in list-building
