You always see low rates per click advertised on the search engines and social media sites, but when it gets down to your product and the search terms you want to get clicks for, somehow the reality is nothing like the advertised, from x pence or x cents per click and the costs can spiral out of control.
So what's the answer?
Get yourself a "long tail" search term.
e.g. if you sponsored the search term "loans" you'd most likely clear your bank account very quickly, its a highly competitive, high volume search term, that probably should be left to the banks and their deep (heavily rescued) pockets.
If your business offers loans for people with bad credit who want to buy cars, then make that your sponsored search term, it'll cost you a lot less and will target your customer more directly too.
There's also lots of tools that will help you see search trends that you may want to tap into that show some surprising results, even go for misspelt search terms or words.
In short, play around with the cheaper PPC searches, rather than paying a premium to run with the crowd.
