Business Internet Marketing Investment can provide great benefits, and do not have to work to the company. Because the internet Marketing investment is always open work and anyone can become publisher of affiliate Marketing.

Sometimes need a little money to invest, to increase your advertising programs to increase your investment returns in marketing, strategy needed maximum patterns to improve the performance of online business marketing.

Paid search marketing can help increase your visibility online, but it's important that you make sure your investment, both money and time, is paying off. Generally speaking, return on investment (ROI) is the profit made from the money spent -- whether it's new technology, new equipment or a marketing campaign.


Understanding how to calculate ROI can help owners determine whether an investment was a good choice and decide whether you need to adjust the amount of money decicaded to a spesific initiative.

In the world of paid search marketing, calculating your ROI can help you determine which ads and keywords to continue using, which ones to scrap and guide you in the development of future marketing campaigns.


Because you probably sell multiple products and services and advertise each of them individually, you'll need the following information for each of your products and PPC campaigns in order to calculate the ROI on your paid search investment:

- Ad cost: The amount you spend on paid search campaigns, such as your spend on keyword bidding.

- Clicks: This refers to the number of visits your site from paid listings.

- Number of sales: the number of complete orders from paid listings.

- Revenue: The dollar amount generated from paid listings for that product.

Simple ROI Calculators
Now that you have your information in hand, use these simple formulas to begin calculating:

- Ad profit: Revenue minus cost
- CPA (Cost Per Acquisition/Sale): Ad cost divided by number of sales
- ROI: The percentage of ad profits divided by ad cost, multiplied by 100

Setting Customer Acquisition Goals


The price you pay to acquire each customer (CPA) is a great place to begin setting goals and controlling expenses. You can adjust your spending to delete search campaigns that aren't working, forecast ROI before beginning a campaign or negotiate deals for fixed placement search engine programs.

The easiest way to determine what you should be spending is to start with your retail price. If you sell t-shirt for $15 and spend an additional $15 on advertising, you need to sell one shirt to break even. Fifteen dollars becomes your customer acquisition cost maximum.

Because you probably want to do better than break even, you'll want to lower your acquisition cost -perhaps to $12 per customer. When determining what you're willing to pay per customer, also consider the lifetime value of customers (how many purchase they'll make from you over the course of your business relationship) and your profit margin.
