PPC in a hurry?

I'm trying to decide where to focus my energy next to drive traffic to my online store. I'm doing OK with organic search and Froogle, but I think it's probably a little late to improve things there in time for the Holiday season.

I'm wondering if I have time to get a PPC campaign going. I'm in a not-so-competitive market, but I've read that such a campaign can really take a lot of time to get right. Thanksgiving is in a week. Do I have time to set it up properly for the season?

If so, where would you guys suggest I focus my PPC attention? AdWords, Overture, Yahoo Shopping, Shopping.com, something else?

I'd probably suggest you use the PPC for whichever search engine currently gives you the most referals. I always feel that the different search engines have slightly different audiences, so if you get most traffic currently from google - pick adwords, if yahoo - pick yahoo shopping, as your PPC should have a larger potential audience.

Of course you could do the opposite, and choose the PPC from whoever gives you the least referals so to try and spread your field.

Hi,
Its nice to think of more traffic but at the same time u should be very much aware for which keyword ur using ur campagin
As you have alreadly listing in the organic Search. i would suggest to go with more number of shop and purchace keywords with any of the PPCSE's . But never use info keywords at this point of time.

Best of luck

Pradeep,

Could you elaborate a little more? I don't think I understand.
