Unseen risk of pay per click ads
Facebook has them, Adsense has them. Heck, you will even see Adsense links on my site. But are they good for everybody's business and situation? Not necessarily.
I have been a customer on both sides of pay-per-click. I've run and paid for some pay-per-click ad campaign for my portrait art business and for My Snellville Blog. From publishing My Snellville Blog, I also know how it works on websites. So here is my opinion for you if you are thinking about advertising this way.
I think they're great for a publisher or an owner of a website to bring in some income from people clicking on the links. For the most part, it's a good deal for the advertiser, the site owner (publisher), and the website visitor.
However, if your type of business has a lot of competitors, there is a real chance that your competition is clicking your ads instead of potential customers. It's not technically 'Click Fraud,' because your competitor is a potential customer, so he has the right to click your link as many times as he wants! Why would your competitor click your ad? Because your competitor knows that clicking that pay-per-click link will cost you money!
Pay-per-click links have virtually no visual punch. Pay per click advertisement links will not give potential customers a visual of your logo, colors, or general branding. It's just a link. It looks pretty much like everybody else's link, and if there's a lot of competition, your ad may not show up very much, depending on the budget limit you've set.
In a picture ad like My Snellville Blog offers, you have BOTH the chance of a click AND the visual image that the potential customer sees over and over. In a picture ad like I have on My Snellville Blog, you get the repeat visual, and your ad is on every page and every reasonable department page of the site. Maybe the viewer won't always click the ad. Clicks are nice, but clicks are just that -- clicks.
A click may or may not turn into a real sale. So maybe Ms. Dixon doesn't click today, but when Ms. Dixon is driving down Scenic Highway in Snellville and sees your business, the "click" happens in her brain. She may think to herself, "I've heard about this place, I will check it out." Now Ms. Dixon is in your place of business in person.
That's better than a click on a computer screen. Do you want to advertise online? Definitely you should! More and more people look online for things they need now.
So really, it's more about the QUALITY of the click and the how the website your ad is on fits into your company's overall philosophy of community, than the sheer number of clicks. Somebody could click your pay per click link all day long, and you might see 2,000 click-throughs -- but did it convert to a sale?
My Snellville Blog has been a trusted source of news, events, and information since 2005, and I will work to get you the best exposure I can provide in the Snellville area to match the advertising plan you select.

KP Snellville Grand Opening Press Release
A special addition to Kaiser Permanente celebrates grand opening (MySnellvilleBlog.com)
Kaiser Permanente Celebrates the Grand Opening of Its
Snellville Medical Office
ATLANTA (November 30, 2010) – On Wednesday, December 1, Kaiser Permanente of Georgia will celebrate the grand opening of its Snellville Medical Office, the organization’s fourth location in Gwinnett County. The addition of the new 7,500 square foot facility at 2240 Fountain Drive is part of Kaiser Permanente of Georgia’s ongoing initiative to make access to health care more convenient for its 230,000 members across metro Atlanta.
Kaiser Permanente of Georgia invested more than $2 million in interior construction, furniture, and medical and IT equipment for the Snellville Medical Office to create a unique total health environment that nurtures the mind, body and spirit in sickness and in health. “This medical office will allow us to better serve our members in and around Snellville,’” explained Peter Andruszkiewicz, president of Kaiser Permanente of Georgia. “We look forward to continuing our legacy of providing high-quality, affordable health care to residents of these communities for many years to come.”
Staffed by physicians of The Southeast Permanente Medical Group, the Snellville Medical Office offers internal medicine, pediatrics, Ob/Gyn, radiology and lab services, as well as an on-site pharmacy. Physicians on staff include Purnima Rao, M.D. (internal medicine), Shekou Sesay, M.D. (pediatrics) and Christian Parks, M.D. (Ob/Gyn). Diane Bell, a certified nurse midwife, will also serve patients at this location.
As Georgia’s largest nonprofit health plan, Kaiser Permanente is committed to improving the health of its members and the communities it serves. In honor of the Snellville Medical Office grand opening, Kaiser Permanente of Georgia is donating $10,000 to Dream House for Medically Fragile Children, Inc. The nonprofit organization based in Lilburn trains families to care for children with complex health issues at home. Since 2001, Dream House has served more than 1,000 medically fragile children living in Georgia.
“It is such a significant contribution at a critical time for us, we call it a miracle,” said Dream House Founder/CEO Laura Moore of the $10,000 donation. “For Kaiser Permanente to reach out to the community and provide support speaks volumes about the organization.”
The addition of the Snellville Medical Office brings the number of facilities in Kaiser Permanente of Georgia’s 28-county service area to 24. Plans are underway to open a new medical office in Newnan later this year. Within the past year, seven new Kaiser Permanente locations have opened in metro Atlanta.
