4 Steps to a Successful AdWords Campaign

Written by Michael McLaughlin


Continued from page 1

3. Optimize Never waste your money using Google’s suggested cost per click; it is 10 times higher than necessary. Many advertisers do not understand that there click through rate effects there position torepparttar same degree with how much they pay per click. To make this easier to understand here is an example: if you pay 5 cents per click forrepparttar 119825 phrase “shopping cart” and your competition pays 10 cents and has a click through rate of .5%, to surpass this person in position you need to double your click through rate to anything above 1% yet you are still paying half of what he is! For keywords that are less targeted to your product or purpose yet still effective I suggest pricing them to nearly half that of highly targeted keywords for a rule of thumb.

Now that all your keywords and pricing is in place, set your daily budget lower than you plan on spending per day for now, this way incase it’s a failure you don’t lose that much. Let your campaign run for a few days, but before you do make sure you set up conversion tracking. Watch what keywords perform well and convert to conversions, and deleterepparttar 119826 ones that cost you nothing but money. If at first you don’t succeed try try again.

4. Experiment As you watchrepparttar 119827 performance of your keywords and Ad groups you should continue to try new things. Change one word in your ad and comparerepparttar 119828 results to previous, trust me one word can and will makerepparttar 119829 difference; whether positive or negative that is for you to discover! If you are having trouble finding an ad that gets enough clicks to avoid being disabled brainstorm again and create as many ads as possible, even if they are terrible they will give you new ideas. Pick your favorite three and create a new ad group while comparingrepparttar 119830 results to your other ad groups.

If you do not find success after following all of these steps, what you’re doing isn’t wrong it’s what you’re trying to sell. To determine if your product is assured to fail ask your self this question: is this product helping someone or is it just another great idea? Chances are if it’s a great idea people aren’t searching for it, or in desperate need of it.

Continue to track and modify your keywords and Ad groups while watching your sales and popularity excel!
