subject: How To Build An Effective Ppc Campaign Part3 [print this page] * Progressing on your goals
Building an effective PPC campaign becomes easier if you learn to make a progress on your goals and start comparing the two. A pacing report can help you get started. The first thing that you need to do is to set your targets. Once you have done that, review your performance after a certain period of time, say, a week. Evaluate your performance for the week keeping in mind the goals that you had set for the same week. The next step involves projecting the expected performance for the time period which may be a month. This can be done by taking the average of daily results and then multiplying it by the remaining number of days in that month. For example, if the average for your daily results comes out as 15 leads and $300 spend and say, 7 days are left in the month, then you can multiply 15 and $300 with 7 and this way you can project your months performance.
Pacing reports prove to be the best option when the results are to be projected at summary levels. However, these reports do not work well for those PPC managers who have segmented targets.
If your business has a good account history, then you can set your goals at campaign stage. You may even use a bullet graph for a better analysis. This way, you can scan and locate underperformers in your Pay per click program.
