    A huge number of mistakes & inefficiencies present in many advertisers' PPC campaigns are helping some services earn bumper profits, quarter after quarter. True?

    Do you contribute unnecessarily to PPC service provider profits? If you're like many advertisers

    So here are three easy, no-cost ways to avoid a sneak attack on your wallet and help stop bleeding cash.

    Sneak Attack #1 - Encouraging You toward Top Positions

    s in life, we're conditioned to aim-high. If you're on top, you must be doing well - right? But is it really wise to covet the top positions in PPC?

    Many services seems to think so. Their profits soar when advertisers fall over themselves in a sacred quest fo
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    a better ad position. So, they encourage advertisers to aim for the top spots. How?

    - By placing higher-traffic ads (typically the ads in spots 1-3) on the left-hand side of the page, instead of the right-hand side

    - Shading the upper spots with an enticin

    In a number of PPC markets, big advertisers allocate a large chunk of cash. What's more, they order the service provider to make them number 1. There's no way the vast majority of advertisers can beat these guys.

    You're likely to achieve better conversion rates if your ads appear in spots a bit lower-down. Typically, any 'above the fold' (the viewer sees your ad without

    aving to scroll-down) position serves well. A position of, say, four or five. Why?

    Research suggests many people who click on the top two spots aren't as serious about buying. Time-wasters who click first and ask questions later.

    Sneak Attack #2 - Your 'Best' Ad Variation is Chosen Too Soon
