Help PPC visitor find product by chat!

My friend (Alberto G.) from CA, USA was here in Mumbai for his vacation. He was busy planning to fly back & wanted to make some online purchase so that by the time he reaches California he gets his stuff.

He almost order’s everything online, he claims to make a good deal & high discounts.

While searching on google to purchase plastic kitchen garbage bags online he clicked on one google ad. The moment he entered the site he got a chat prompt from Mr. Sheldon below is the covo…


Sheldon:
Why did you use pay per click?

Chat Session Started at 7:33:01 PM

Sheldon:

Visitor:

Sheldon:

Visitor:

Visitor:
I am looking for kitchen garbage bag

Sheldon:
Where are you searching from?

Visitor:
would get back to you if I need your help, thanks for the assistance

Visitor:
I am from CA, at present in India Bom-Bay

Sheldon:
I apologize for bothering you, according to the data I have, your internet is coming through India. I can help you find the bags you need.

Visitor:
Thanks, bye

Sheldon:
Oh, I really apologize.

It was great to know Mr. Sheldon or the site owner is serious about his online business & wants to know about the single penny spent on sponsored ads is worth.

I feel using chat it would be great to identify the visitor’s requirements, real time assistance to visitors and more.

PPC Gyan for Newbie

Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising technique used on websites, advertising networks, and search engines.

Advertisers bid on "keywords" that they believe their target market (people they think would be interested in their offer) would type in the search bar when they are looking for their type of product or service. For example, if an advertiser sells red widgets, he/she would bid on the keyword "red widgets", hoping a user would type those words in the search bar, see their ad, click on it and buy. These ads are called "sponsored links" or "sponsored ads" and appear next to and sometimes above the natural or organic results on the page. The advertiser pays only when the user clicks on the ad.
