Getting Targeted Traffic to Your Site With PPC Advertising

By admin On July 13, 2010 No Comments

If you are looking for the best way to attract targeted traffic to your website, your best bet may be pay per click advertising. This method of advertising is hard to beat for getting instant website visitors who are also likely to by buyers of your product or service. If you want to profit with PPC, however, you have to understand that getting your ads highly placed and outbidding your competitors will not necessarily be enough for you to succeed. Before you start investing in PPC, it’s important to have a good grasp of how the whole process works and create a well researched plan of your own. People who invest in PPC without learning the fundamentals often lose quite a bit of money before they make the necessary adjustments to their campaigns. If you follow these guidelines, you’ll be better equipped to run successful PPC campaigns.

A new course is causing quite a buzz in the Internet Marketing community and you can find more information about it at this dosha web design showcase.

Don’t write false or misleading PPC ads, as it will only harm you. Don’t do what some PPC advertisers do to get more clicks on their ads: lie or mislead about what they are selling. Your ad should not refer to something that can’t be found on your actual site. This will only harm your credibility, as when visitors find out that what your ad promised isn’t there they will lose faith in you. While your click through rate may increase by doing this, your conversion rate will be poor. Your prospects will simply leave your site out of frustration and you’ll end up being burned.

You have to write the kind of ads that people will actually click on. Whatever niche market you’re targeting, your ad has to be enticing enough. Your ad must have some hook that makes the reader want to click. If your title and ad are like all the other ads, you won’t get much response. Also, your ad has to be honest to what you’re offering. For example, if your ad promises something for free and then it costs money on your landing page, you will lose credibility and you won’t have good conversions.

Also, you can aim for those keywords that don’t cost much but are targeted enough. In order to do well, you don’t necessarily have to have the top position for all your keywords. If your ad is not at the top, you can still get many clicks, and you’ll be saving some money too. Once your ad drops to page 3 or lower, however, you will have a hard time getting clicks.

Over the years, pay per click has gone through many changes in rules and policies. If you want to profit with PPC, you have to keep up with the changes so that your strategy doesn’t become outdated.

Epson Stylus SX215 – Inkjet Printer Review

By admin On July 13, 2010 No Comments

What kind of all-in-one printer can you get for  around £45  ?  We take a look at the Epson sx215, which looks like a great little machine  , but with some shortcomings. At this price point , we’re definitely in the home market for the occasional black or colour print and print a few photos from your digital photographic camera . 

The printer is a conventional black box design, and has a control panel mounted on the left hand side.   It’s good  to see a full-colour LCD display set into the middle of the controls .  Small and neat, it is ideal for viewing photos and choosing from the various menu options  .

 The machine has  four  control  buttons behind the LCD, including specific options to print photos and to print an index sheet from a memory card.  A memory card slot is also provided and takes SD, XD and memory stick cards  . In front of the LCD is a  handy  button to switch between A4 and 15 x 10cm paper.

Both paper types feed from a  angled, telescopic paper tray at the back to a horizontal, tray at the front.  At the back of the machine there is a single USB socket  , as the machine has no network capabilities, either cabled or wireless. It does have an internal power supply, though, so there’s no power block kicking around under the desk .

One thing nonexistent from the control panel is a maintenance button for running print checks or changing ink cartridges, and you need to know the magic shortcut of pressing the Index Sheet and Scan buttons together to reach the maintenance menu – shame it’s not marked on the panel .

Fitting and replacing epson ink cartridges is easy, as the four cartridges plug directly into their places in the head carrier. The cartridges are numbered T0711 TO T0714 inclusive.

Epson quote the Stylus SX215 can reach 32ppm printing black and 15ppm printing colour, in draft mode. We think England would have more chance of winning the World cup than this prediction coming true. Sure enough we were right particularly as the machine could only manage 3.5ppm on our five-page black text print and 1.2ppm on the black text and colour graphics test.

As usual, the result of the 20-page test was  quicker  , but in this case only by 0.5ppm, giving a top speed of 4ppm. This is slow and the 20-page document took over five minutes to complete.

A single page colour A4 copy took 1min 11secs and a 15 x 10cm photo took 3mins 20secs printing in best mode from a PC. This is slow! 

 The machine is not only slow but noisy as well, mainly due to the paper feeding through the printer .

Given this is a budget printer, the print quality is average at best. It’s nowhere near as clean as even cheap Canon or HP machines, as there’s jaggedness to curves and diagonals and some bleeding of ink into the paper .

 Graphic images are good, with bright colours and little dithering. Photo prints are also very good with clean lines, bright colours and smooth transitions  .

The Stylus SX215 can take the  Epson cheetah T0715 multipack of cartridges, which retail for around £30. Or compatible ink cartridges are also available at a fraction of the price.

Verdict

 At this price point, the SX215 has some benefits such as LCD display and good quality photo prints. However it is very slow and quite noisy  .
