It is easy to run a PPC advertising campaign badly. It is very difficult to run one well. With training you can save thousands of pounds on your advertising costs and get more highly targetted customers at the same time!

I have considerable experience in running PPC advertising campaigns and training clients in how to manage such campaigns themselves. I have a thorough, professional, but fun and friendly approach and my clients learn how to enjoy running their campaigns.

I offer four training sessions, which normally need to be carried out in the specified order. The first one is usually sufficient on its own to get you up and running, the other three improve and develop your campaign. The training session schema offered below is customisable to your specific needs. Costs for training will vary according to your needs, the scale of your proposed campaign, and discounts are available for existing clients.

4. Yahoo Search Marketing Advertising and Microsoft Ad Centre Advertising. In order not to place all your eggs in the Google basket it is a good idea to spread your advertising over other major search networks. Due to a lower volume of advertiser competition, it is often possible to obtain cheaper click-throughs via these other systems.
