A reality for PPC advertisers is cost-per-click has gotten completely out of hand. Perhaps worse, search engines aren't exactly structured to work in the advertiser's favor. In general, they are structured to generate revenue. As an example, one of the most important metrics Google uses to determine which ads will be places in the top, most visible position is clickthrough rate, or CTR. This means the ads the get the most clicks have a ranking advantage.
This creates a huge problem for new PPC advertisers. Ideally, we have the opportunity to develop advertising and landing page strategies by running low-cost, tightly controlled tests before going all in on a campaign and promotional budget. By demanding a high CTR for your ads to appear in search at all, Google forces us to substantially increase your early PPC ad spend.
We use a number of tools that help drive down click costs, but more importantly, we have the ability to recall and analyze ad placements going back well over 15 years. That means, if you or any of your competitors has run a PPC campaign within the last decade and a half, we can not only see it, but know exactly when it ran and how it performed. This is a big deal because competitors often abandon solidly performing campaigns without realizing it. We benefit greatly from the experiences of past advertisers.
