One of the fastest ways to grow your online business is to use paid traffic sources. The benefit of paid traffic is that it is easy to set up (usually) and you can receive new traffic very fast. Free traffic methods usually take a lot more time to generate visitors.

There are a number of paid traffic sources that you can use and we will take a look at the most common ones here. It goes without saying that you need to monitor your spend with paid traffic. You also need to check your conversion rates to see what ads are providing the best results and eliminate those that are ineffective.

Suffice to say that you have to Use analytics and Facebook pixels etc to constantly monitor your ads and do a/b testing but to mention a few things you have to do..

Search Engine Marketing or Pay Per Click (PPC)

The major search engines such as Google and Bing provide the opportunity for you to place ads on the first page of their search results. You can also extend your reach to content publishers who run these ads.

In order to use PPC ads you will need to perform keyword research for your online business. You have to identify the most common terms that people looking for what you have to offer will enter into the search box.

Once you have a list of keywords that you want to run ads for then you will need to arrange them in groups and make bids for the top positions. You will also need to write ads following the prescribed format.

PPC ads are a very good way to get targeted traffic to your website. You can set daily budgets for your campaigns so that you do not overspend. It is also possible to run split test ads to see which ones perform the best.

You will find that it is quite a bit cheaper to run PPC campaigns using Microsoft Ads than it is Google Ads. That is because the volume of searches on Bing and Yahoo are a lot less than they are on Google.
