Linking PPC Costs to Revenues Allows Improvements in PPC Return on Investment

A new client came to us after spending over $10,000 on Pay per Click (PPC) advertising with Google and Yahoo. They had only limited web analytics along with the information provided by Google and Yahoo. Based on this information they had no real idea in which areas they were making a profit and in which areas they were making a loss. We analyzed their data and reported that they showed a marketing cost approaching 50% of the revenue generated! In other words they were making a loss on every sale they made or as they stated – ‘the more my revenues go up, the more my losses go up’!

Pay Per Click Advertising provided them with Urchin web analytics software including eCommerce and campaign tracking. With minor modifications to the PPC campaigns and by importing the click information from both PPC providers this client was finally able to link costs to conversions (sales).

Pay Per Click Advertising

In addition SEO_Services developed an interface from their shopping cart to Urchin. By importing the actual sales data we were able to link costs to revenues. Now with the web analytics data available we can take steps to eliminate keywords that result in a loss, and improve keywords that show a profit.

In the first month of implementing this system marketing cost were lowered to 25% of revenue. Further improvements are expected in the coming months.

In addition to these savings we also search engine optimized their eCommerce website. After one month the revenue from organic (free) traffic is approaching the levels of PPC – at a fraction of the cost. Marketing costs for search engine optimization are currently running at 4% of revenue. As revenue from organic traffic increases this percentage will lower.
