Great Tips For Your Adwords Campaign

To increase your traffic flow and get your share of the Google pie, your first step is to sign up with Google, go to your Adwords login and set up your first campaign. Adwords is Google’s version of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. All the search engines have their own variations of PPC and they are all called something different.

Pay per click means just that: when someone clicks on your ad, you pay. How much you pay can vary depending on several variables such as the quality score of your ad and the competition of your keywords. Since no one really knows just how Google calculates their quality score, it can be somewhat difficult to figure things out.

If you have an ad with a high quality score you can get a higher ranking when your ad shows up in the results. So instead of your ad being shown in the last position on the first page, or not on the first page at all, your high quality score ad will show up within the top ads shown for that keyword.

Quality score is thought to be made up of, at least partially, how many clicks you get per number of views. This is called the Click Through Rate (CTR). So the more times your ad is clicked on the higher your quality score will be since Google thinks that your ad is getting a lot of clicks because it’s highly relevant to the keywords it’s targeting.

For example, you’ve just set up your first campaign and you’re targeting the keyword: dog training. You’ve carefully chosen many keywords that are very directly related to your niche. Your ad is well written and intriguing. Your ad is shown a lot and a lot of people who see it will actually click on it so you have a high CTR. Google will reward you for your high CTR by showing your ad more often and charging you less per click than some of your competitors will have to pay.

This whole process tends to get very complicated. Since you are paying for the clicks you get, and you may be paying a premium since you’ve not had the time or experience to dial it in and get that high quality score, you have to make sure that you have enough money in your advertising budget to be able to stick with your PPC campaigns long enough to make changes and tweak things until you get to the point where you are getting a high CTR and the best price possible on your keyword bids.

With PPC so complicated and having so many elements that you have to keep track of, you may be wondering why people use it at all. The answer to that is because it works. Again, if you can afford to stick with it while you are learning it, you can get a lot of visitors and make a lot of sales.

Adwords Tool For Profitable Keywords
There are other programs online that will help you find great keywords, but most people use the Google keyword tool. This tool will give you most of the information you’ll need to set up successful advertising campaigns online.

Of course, as with everything, the keyword tool is not the do all end all. It’s a really good place to start but you really have to drill down to find as many possible results as you can.

Most people will use this basic approach when doing their keyword research: type in a broad phrase and then take some of the results and drill those down even further.

Enter a general term and make note of the results. Depending on what you are using the keywords for, you may want to set the keyword tool to show you specific things such as the estimated cost per click, or the amount of competition, etc.

Once you’ve gotten a general list of possible keywords to target you can then get more specific in your search. For example, if you’re searching for dog toys you would enter ‘dog toys’ in the keyword tool. You will get back a fairly comprehensive list but you can than take those results and narrow them down further.

So if you got the term homemade dog toys you may be able to further hone that down to wooden home made dog toys. You get the idea. Start broad and narrow your selections down until you’ve got a complete list of highly targeted keywords to use for your online advertising campaigns.

The narrower you make your list the more targeted, and likely to actually make a purchase, your visitors will be. Also, you’ll have less competition for the term wooden homemade dog toys then you would for dog toys. True, you’ll also have fewer searches but the searchers you do have will be very targeted and they won’t cost you as much.

What You Need To Know About Google Adwords

While there is no such thing, legitimately at least, as adwords for free, there are many places online that will provide you with a lot of free tips and tricks to get the most out of your Adwords accounts.

But before you head off to Google to do a search there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

1. Adwords is a fairly complicated method for generating traffic. If you follow advice from someone who really isn’t qualified it can cost you more than money. If you disobey the terms of service Google has established you might well get banned and that would be very, very bad for business.

2. In order to really master Adwords you will need to find not only the training but you will need to be able to spend money while you are testing your ads. The truth is that no matter how good the training you get is, it will still take time for you to tweak and perfect your ads. During this time you will almost be guaranteed to spend way more money than you make.

3. Google is always making changes to their Adwords platform. In order to get the most out of any tips or tactics you may find online it’s important that you make sure that whoever is providing the tips has the most up to date information. You will really screw yourself if you follow outdated information.

Now,when it comes to managing your own Adwords accounts you need to keep some things in mind too. For one thing, you will need to track your results. Many people seem to think that this step is a hassle and they ignore it, but the truth is that you have to know where your clicks are coming from and how much they are costing you. If you try to guess, you will waste a ton of money.

It’s important to test all your ads to find out what combination of headlines and body work the best. To do that you will have to make changes to the ad until you can pinpoint the exact right combination. Make sure that during the testing stage you only make one change at a time. If you change more than one element during your test you won’t have any way of knowing which change actually worked.

Don’t go into your Adwords account as if you were in Vegas. What I mean by that is don’t place all your eggs in one basket, don’t blow all your money on one campaign. That never really works. Since you will need to test ads and you probably will make very little, if any, money during the test it’s imperative that you set a realistic ad budget and don’t go over that budget. That way you’ll have enough money to follow through and find the ads that work.

If you really want to do an Adwords campaign the right way you’ll probably be better off skipping the adwords for free hype and find a legitimate course that can explain the complexities of pay per click to you.

How To Avoid The Nightmare…

Unfortunately, when you’re a fairly small fish in a big pond you have to play by the rules or you will get kicked out of the pond. No where is this more true than when it comes to your adwords account. Google is one mighty big fish and what they say goes, period. If you want to advertise on their Pay Per Click (PPC) network you had better be prepared to play by their rules or they will ban you and that will be one less stream of traffic you’ll be able to rely on.

Google Adwords can provide you with a ton of very qualified traffic, and it can do it pretty quickly, but it’s not without it’s pitfalls. One of the things Google really looks for these days is a quality site. The days of mediocre sites is gone. Google expects, and demands, quality sites for their searchers. If you don’t deliver you’ll be gone, there won’t be a negotiation, you’ll just be gone.

Google doesn’t have to explain why you’ve been banned either, and they won’t, one day you’ll have a successful campaign and the next you’ll be done and so will a big portion of your traffic (which is one reason why you should never rely on just one source of traffic for your site).

In order to avoid this nightmare scenario, it’s important you don’t do anything that would put Google on high alert. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Carefully read and follow the terms of service that Google spells out when you sign up for your account. one of the most important things to remember is that you can not direct link your ad to an affiliate offer. You must drive the traffic to your own website where you can then direct them to your affiliate offer.

That is probably one of the most common mistakes people make. They think that Google is so big they won’t notice, and they may not, for a while. But when they do you’ll be banned. It’s just not worth the risk. Put up a great blog.

2. Make sure that the website you send your traffic to has some truly quality content. Don’t just throw up some dumb blog or website with one article on it and expect that that will be ok, it won’t. Again, Google’s main concern is for their customers and,newsflash, that’s not you. It’s the people who search online. If Google doesn’t think that their searchers will get what they’re looking for when they visit your site, they will ban you.

Hey, I don’t mean to scare you, I’m just trying to point out that you have to be careful when you’re dealing with ‘The Big G’. They have their rules and they expect you to follow them. Don’t forget, you’re just a visitor in their kingdom and they expect you to carry your fair share of the weight and follow their rules. When you set up your
adwords account make sure you read, understand and follow all the rules to avoid the nightmare from google!!
