Google profits are soaring and pundits are exclaiming that though this stock is gold it must be close to over performing; so why would anyone make a statement like this : PPC on Google is Finished.

In truth, nothing could be further from the truth. Pay per click advertising with google adwords is roaring ahead, much to the chagrin of ask, MSN and the number 2 giant Yahoo. So, if this is truly the case, why how could there be any truth in this unsubstantiated rumor?

What’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander and in this case what is good for Google hasn’t always been good for the advertisers. For those without knowledge of how its done – Google’s advertising is done based on a highest bidder system.

If you normally have 1200 potential buyers at your saturday afternoon car auction then one bright saturday afternoon 40 additional bus loads of happy go lucky gamblers stop by on their way to the casino, do you think that your cars going to be auctioned for higher or lower prices?

Perhaps the rumor of the demise of Pay Per Click really applies to the only group actually hurt by Google’s growing popularity – those that find themselves with 3 times as many fierce competitors bidding for the same keywords.

So a couple hundred heavy pocketed corporate types on their way to the casino, who find themselves coming out of the bathroom and seeing good cars go cheaply might want to wallow in and join the bidding. Well, thats exactly what deep pocketed corporate has done.

So, perhaps the rumors of the death of Pay Per Click were justified? Google has already said that mom and pop bidders are the most careful and get the highest returns and best ROI. But lately, that could just be because they either aren’t bidding or have found somewhere else to bid.

Deep pocketed bidders without a sense of ROI can bid certain keywords to near unreasonable prices.

What is currently happening to many of your campaigns that were turning a fair profit just 4 months ago? How about those absolute winners that you have had running for a couple years? You have adjusted, pruned optimized and now there is very little left you can do. The frustration sets in and you are regretfully pause the campaign. Its now, no longer profitable.

Having fun yet?

You are not alone. In helping a friend with some PPC on Google, I noticed a curious phenomena. Over 40 brokers pushing up the price bidding on three phrases and just one lone broker in yahoo and nobody at all on msn.

By the end of the week, my Google adwords account had recorded just less than 10,000 impressions on just 4 popular search terms. My Yahoo Search marketing account had barely cleared a thousand.

Not only did the competing real estate agents bid the Google prices above the dollar mark, but they also clicked on each others ads by the thousands. I know this because several of them filled in my form after clicking on my ads too. In the meantime, my Yahoo costs stayed serenely under 15 cents per click.

Online Clothing

by Pri Vag

The internet has become highly prevalent in society today and this is in my opinion set to continue over the coming years. One area which has seen itself greatly influenced by the internet is shopping. An online consumer is now looking for the best deals and bargains and because of the speed at which we can search this is only made easier by the internet.

Some companies are taking advantage of this phenomenon and cutting costs by only providing goods online. This is especially true of clothing and one particular area which I am focusing on today is ties and mens accessories.

With ties now designed in-house who work with the largest store groups and labels, many designs are ahead of most of the high street stores and thus giving the consumer new fresh exciting vibrant products throughout our ranges.

This changes the concept of shopping for ties and now can be done in the comfort of your home. As we do not need to try them or make sure they fit it allows consumers to buy them without leaving their home.

Many sites have a wide product range which includes Woven Silk Ties, Printed Silk Ties, Woven Polyester Ties, Micro-fibre Ties, Soprano Diamond Ties, Soprano Roma Italian Design woven silk ties, Erwin & Morris High Quality Silk Neckwear as well as Woven and Printed Silk Country Ties and Novelty Ties.

With such a wide range of choice, high street companies are suffering as people are staying at home. In my opinion this is set to continue in the future and I can only see online retail growing from strength to strength.

This allows Mens accessories to be available to the highest standards at affordable prices for all types of consumers. This can revolutionise how consumers buy and has the potential to help companies through this difficult economic time.
