Using Yahoo To
Receive Website Visitors
Overture or as it is now known "Yahoo" was the
original inventor of the P4P or Pay for Performance principle.
Overture noticed that the internet was quickly becoming the easiest
and most suitable method to shop and advertising would be at an all
time high because of the numerous businesses in the field attracting
website visitors.
To get a visitor to visit your website rather than
other websites, it must be very noticeable. Placing ads that will
direct possible customers to your site will assist in an increase in
hits to your site as well as improving your sales. Yahoo offers a
service that places a company's ad or sites in their sites that will
be shown when accurate keywords are entered.
Yahoo's offer helps to increase traffic by making more
people aware by allowing them to view your site and your products.
So even with a minimal percentage of successful sales, this could
lead to substantial increase in your sales figures for your company.
Receiving a considerable and consistent flow of
website hits is every company's objective. Website visitors are
potentially the life line of your internet based business.
Yahoo/Overture use the same standards as Google's
Adwords. They are alike in that they use keywords or keyword phrases
to establish which ads to show per search. The search engine will
provide the results in a page. On the right hand side of the page,
you'll notice selected ads that have paid for their ads to be seen
when certain keywords or keyword phrases are used.
Let's say for example you run a car parts retailer
wholesale website. You would need to select keywords like Honda
Accord that will trigger or prompt your ads to be viewed in the page
when the keyword is entered.
You will be expected to pay for using this service.
There are various ways Yahoo/Overture can charge you. It could be
per the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or how
many times your ad is clicked on. Other offers could be having your
ad viewed in other third party websites.
It's a marketing tactic that will boost your website
visitors, increasing sales and resulting in profit, which inturn
makes your investment to advertise a wise one. |
