Pay-Per-Click marketing strategies have been around since the infancy of search engines, and have historically been a great way to create quick impact on revenue and visibility. However, how do you know if you’re getting the most bang for your buck (literally) when running paid traffic?
With both Google and Facebook being the 800 lb. gorillas in the traffic source space, it’s undeniable that they’re ultimately going to be in control of how effective your PPC dollars are being spent.
