Google Adwords is the number one advertising option out there, and it's become a symbol of the growth of the internet since the 1990's crash. Adwords has evolved to offer advertisers a plethora of new options for generating revenue while giving search users accurate results. Largely due to Adwords, websites are no longer just gimmicks, they are viable businesses, but knowing how to use Adwords effectively is your first step to gathering traffic and making your website a profit center.
Signing up for Adwords takes no more than five minutes. You can fund your account with just $10. The first thing you will notice when you log into Adwords is that there are many options. Once you have your account up and running, the first and foremost important task in front of you is to choose your keywords. Don't spend a lot of time exploring Adwords tools quite yet.
While you can certainly find keywords on services like Wordtracker, the best keywords will be those you think up yourself. That's because users judge your site (and Google ranks your pages) on the basis of content, not just keywords. If a keyword has a great KEI and seems like it would roll in traffic for you, it won't do you any good?and could do you real harm?if you don't have useful content to match.
That's why you brainstorm to create your own unique list of keywords. Think of what makes your pages the absolute best on the net. Think of what makes your content stand out. That's where you will find your keywords. Once you have a list, and 10 words and phrases is enough, then and only then use the Adwords keyword selection tool. What the keyword selection tool can do for you is to tell you which keywords that describe your content are being actively searched on the web. Any word or phrase that has a high search volume and low competition is a good place to start your campaign.
A common beginner's mistake is to use too many keywords. You only want to use as many keywords as you can test and track. Probably you don't want more than 10 to 15 keywords in your first campaign. If you use more than 15 keywords, you may succumb to the temptation to ax words that don't bring you traffic right away, and you may be left with keywords that are not really the best. When you have your short list of keywords complete, then write just one ad. Make the copy for your ad a magnet for web search. Make it clear and direct, giving anyone who sees it a very clear reason to go to your site?and make sure your site delivers the content you advertise. When you have done this, then it is time to set your budget.
Google Adwords lets you set your budget in terms of a daily rate. For instance, if your budget is $25 a day, Adwords will run ads until $25 has been spent, and then start over the next day. There is an option that allows you to spend your ad money evenly through the day. You may want to experiment to see which option brings you the most web traffic that generates the most sales. That kind of analysis takes time, which is why it is a good idea to stick to those 10 to 15 keywords until you have some useful data on your campaign.
Google Adwords puts you in charge of how your ads appear and who sees them. It puts you in charge of when your ads appear on the net, and how much you pay for a click. Matching your choices to your profits will make Google Adwords your very best tool for expanding your traffic and growing your profits.
