Here are examples of the reocurring expenses involved with a PPC campaign. The website (overall)  draws over 60,000 unique visitors/month; 130,000 page views/month:

For this example we will use a business that sells speciality travel tours, worldwide.

XYZ Travel Tours established Yahoo Search Marketing budget of $1,000/mo = $12,000 annually

XYZ Travel Tours established a Google Adwords budget of $300/mo. = $3,600 annually

The total combined marketing budget = $15,600 annually

With Paid Yahoo Search Marketing “YSM”:

• YSM’s $1000/mo budget is responsible for about 24% of the site’s unique visitors (6000 visitors/mo).
• The campaign is using over 400 targeted search terms.
• Average cost/click (CPC) is $.18 – $.20/click.

The YSM campaign may draw on average approx. 6,000 visitors to the website each month.

With Google Adwords:

Adwords ($300/mo budget) is being used to supplement specific trip pages of the website that may be lagging in traffic and sales.

• Adwords’ $300/mo budget may be responsible for approx. 4% of the site’s unique visitors.
• The Adword campaign uses over 100 targeted search terms.
