More Profits go to Google

 

As I plan out my 2011 advertising budget, I have noticed a few interesting notes. First Bing has taken a whopping 20% of my first months budget without a successful conversion (Ouch). On the other hand Google is progressing my per click sale is now $ 17.00 and my profit only averages $14.00 per sales (again Ouch). So you can see quickly the advertisers are still making the jack, but not the little home small business owner who just trying to make a few bucks.

The sad part is with  the saturated market you have to advertise with these giants to push any sales! Why would Google/Bing make you a top pick (SEO is joke) when they can take your money instead…

Is Motoring calming

I own several types of sporty transportation that take me away from the daily grind. First is the Mini Copper-S wow what a ride and I love the drive. The Second is a custom chopper, wow nice looking bike and great power. I love to get out and just enjoy the drive but their no where I can get away from the traffic living in Dallas. There are too many vehicles for me to feel safe to unleash. I enjoy the thrill of each vehicle but don’t really get to enjoy. 

Normally in the back roads I get a thrill but not often and when I do I am always please and relaxed after the rush. One day I will find the sweet stop and be able to get out.

Todays CPC

After spending thousands of dollars this year on advertising I can without a dought that Google still has the upper hand. While Facebook and Bing do just ok my advertising dollars where best spent with Google. Once you have enough hits and conversion it even gets better.

Don’t spend to much time elsewhere or all the hype now is Facebook “likes and tweets” but it’s too time consuming for small business. Stick to what works best for you  and don’t waste your hard earned cash.

Facebook advertising

Do you need to advertise on facebook if you're a small business. I see many comment that state you can't afford not to. So do you trust them, I ventured off and found a $500.00 credit and have been trying them out. As a small business owner mykeyfinder I have found that you can't afford it. The CPC cost is 60% higher than Google and 40% higher than Bing (aka Microsoft advertising).

During my credit trail, which is still ongoing, I have spent $4.70 in a month on advertising@ 60% higher CPC than Google ongoing rate. I know facebook boast 4 million users but the impression can be 200-1000 per day if you get impressions at all. on an average week thus far my impression on happen one day a week and averaging .25 clicks per week during the trails.

Also note a "Fan Page" is a good thing but FBML, really do we need another html markup language, are you Microsoft please. I am disappointed during my trails and once the 50.00 is gone so am I now that might take a few months, or the credit expires first. I betting the credit expires first. To those small business owners go Google, not Bing and defiantly not facebook unless your pocketbook is large for advertising.

When is it enough just to trust the big three CPC giants with your advertising dollars. Does blogging really drive the business? With a mixture of ads, blogging and a little facebook drive can a small business make it in the dog eat dog world. I find that with a mix of all I can just breakeven. I have recently started advertising with Bing, Facebook and both are three times more expensive for less results for my keyword. Check out shop.mykeyfinder.biz for you Finders Key Purse accessories.

Facebook Ad's

I just put out a Face book Ad for shop.mykeyfinder.biz. I am hoping that this will increase the popularity of our site. Just recently the Giant Google decided that my site was no longer relevant and stopped all my ad's. The lack of support as I am sure I will receive from all online advertising was terrible or their lack of. I am waiting on my book to arrive to get 200.00 credit on Bing and use them as well. This was inventible to diversify in my ad camping, but I wanted to get more online sale before making additional commitments.

Google AdSense - is it worth it?

Two years now I have been advertising for Google and not one payment, is it no one visits this site, nope tracking says it does. My ad words keep charging me for other bloggers therefore where is my share. Getting automated services are a downward spiral, loop if you will they keep sending you to the same direction with hope one of these items will work. Resetting the account did not work either, hope most of you experience a better results otherwise this is just another scam for Google to deepened their pockets. Sending emails to them again please click the hell out of my ads let's just see what it will do.

Bing is for Who?

I am looking to update our online sales strategy for 2010. The biggest question is do I use Bing seeing they aren't indexing your site? After submitting several request I give up, this is also true with the DMZ project. Who do they think they are without small businesses such as mykeyfiner or marlartechnologies where would they be.

Oh well looks like another Google year at least they will index. Aas far as the other one million search engines they are the same, you get indexed one month but dropped the next.
