1.Try to get one of
top 3 bids if possible. You will get at least double
clicks.
2.Bid 1-2 cents more than
spot you want. This seems like common sense, but I see tons of money wasted by overbidding. Also, look for big gaps between positions. If you see a big gap, go 1-2 cents higher than
lower bid. For example, if
top bid is 18 cents and second is 15 cents and third is 5 cents, I would most likely bid 6 cents.
3.Write a description that is very specific. A well written description will make up for a lower rank. If possible have your URL go to
specific page that your keyword refers to instead of
home page.
4.Once you get that person to your site, you want to capture their email address. The most common way is to get them to subscribe to a newsletter. There are other things you can do. For example: training courses, tip of
day/week,etc. This way you are only paying for that customer once for repeat visits.
5.Work search engines on a regular basis. I would work
busier ones at least once a week and
slower ones at least once a month.
