Free Adwords Credit Secret – How to Get Free Adwords Credit, and Other Tips you Were Never Told!

Free Adwords Credit Secret – How to Get Free Adwords Credit, and Other Tips you Were Never Told!

Someone in a forum asked me the other day for some quick tips on Google Adwords. I have been quite successful with Adwords, and so my post got longer and longer as I thought of things, and each one seemed more important than the last-It occurred to at that point that this would make a pretty useful article, as it”s something lots of people participate in, and I don”t feel that many people get as much out of it as they should do! I think it”s a pity because in the work at home and home business arenas, some decent Adwords skills can make a huge amount of difference to your online money making! With that in mind, here are my 10 Adwords Tips You Were Never Told!

10- Trust your own conversion rates-Nobody else”s. This relates particularly well to those of you that are affiliate marketers. When you are considering what items to promote, only use other people”s conversion figures if they can physically prove them to you. I once agreed to sign on as an affiliate for a contact I had made through eBay-He seemed very professional, I liked his site and his product, and he assured me that the site converted around 5% of visitors into sales. I liked the sound of that, as I already had a few low priced keywords in mind that would bring in some good traffic. So I signed up. One month later, I had directed over a thousand clicks to his site, and there had not been a single sale. I got it verified by Clickbank too, so I know it was pretty accurate. Needless to say, our partnership ground to a halt.

9-Keep an eye on the budget-especially until the campaign takes off and becomes profitable. This seems really obvious, but those clicks really do add up fast. It”s really easy to let them get out of hand as we find ourselves pushing it up that extra couple of bucks here and there in the hope of picking up stray clicks at the end of the day. Before we know it, our 4 or 5 dollars a day is 12 or 13, and by the end of the month we owe Google a grand. That”s great if you are making good money from all those clicks, but from reading the forums I gather that this mostly happens to people that are just starting out and struggling to get into profit.

8-Don”t listen to Google. Let them show you how to use the site and get your account set up, but for advice on actual campaigns and ads, look elsewhere. The reason? Google are a business. It”s in their interest for you to pay more for your clicks, and to raise your budget accordingly. There are plenty of free resources on the net for Adwords, like this article for example, so search around for things like this and any free ebooks you can find on the subject. If you want advice, get it from people that aren”t going to be profiting directly from your mistakes.

7-Quantity and quality-Spend time researching your keywords. The more time you spend, the less money you spend, and your click through rate will likely be better too. Lots of Adwords campaigns are run by people sitting behind little desks in big offices, beavering away for a tiny salary and a company car. Campaigns are literally a job for these people, and the success or cost of the campaign is of no relevance because it all comes straight from the company funds. People like this are the reason that you can bid on the words “Credit Card” on some PPC schemes and still not get top placing. People like this are also the reason people like you and I can find thousands of cheap, closer matching keywords just by putting the time in. These guys run campaigns just by throwing money at them, and we can easily outperform them just by applying ourselves a little with the keyword research.

6-Match Test-Adwords lets you run multiple ads from the same keyword group simultaneously. This is a great tool if you put it to use properly. How? Simply by making each ad slightly different, and seeing which one pulls more clicks. Once you can see which one is more successful, tinker around with the wording on the less popular ad until it improves performance and pulls more clicks than the one that was initially leading. Do this constantly and before you know it you will have an ad which literally rips clicks off the page!

5-Have patience-When you make changes give them time to manifest themselves in your results. Only when you can see what effect a change has had should you make any more. If you don”t do things gradually like this you can quite easily mess a campaign up in a fashion that will take two or three days to get back on track.

4-Cheat-I don”t know if it”s ethical to say this, but I”m going to do it anyway- When you are starting an Adwords account, go to eBay first and buy some free Adwords credit. You can buy of credit to an Adwords account for pennies from certain eBay sellers. That certainly makes your first few campaigns a little less stressful. Not ethical I know, but I”m sure Google will get plenty of money from you once you get the hang of the system. Here”s hoping they don”t sue me lol.

3-Don”t forget about other PPC schemes- You won”t get the traffic you would from Google, but you will get much cheaper high quality keywords, so it balances out really. I prefer Google myself because your writing skill plays as big a part as your wallet-your ad will appear closer to the top of the screen if it is popular with the customers. That means if your ad is effective and gets more clicks than the other bidders, you will be able to pay less than the other guys that have bid on that word.

2-Make Your Ads Specific- You can weed out a lot of non-qualified browsers by stating important facts in the ad copy- people that would have cost you money from the click and not bought anyway. For example an ad which simply states “House for Sale” would get clicks from all kinds of people looking for houses, but if it were to say “Two Bedroom House for sale” you would be naturally cutting out the customers which were looking for four bedroom houses, apartments etc, as they can see straight away that you do not have what they are seeking. This reduction is good because it would help keep our costs low due to unnecessary clicks.

1- Be Relentless- It”s easy to think you have made it in Adwords, and equally easy to become really disillusioned when you do not see results straight away. Just keep the faith- It”s science, not art, and as such can be learned. Stick with it and you will soon see profit, and once you are in profit it is just a case of maintaining that balance while you raise the budgets and increase your exposures!

Maximize Your Return on Investment With Google Adwords

Maximize Your Return on Investment With Google Adwords

Most businesses want a cost-effective way to bring in more customers. The challenge is to find prospects who are thinking about your products at the exact time that you reach them.

With Google AdWords, it is possible to target prospects at the very moment they are thinking about buying your products or services. Most of you know how it works: If someone does a Google search on digital cameras, for example, she sees ads for digital cameras. If someone does a search on organically grown coffee beans, he sees ads for organically grown coffee. Google AdWords enables you to implement precisely targeted advertising.

Here’s how to maximize your success with Google AdWords. With proper preparation and execution, starting Google AdWords can be like planting a money tree that will provide your business with a steady stream of revenue.

What Is Google AdWords?

Open up a Web browser and go to the Google Web site. Type in the search term coffee and click search.

Essentially, two types of search results come up: on the left and below are the organic search results that no one has sponsored. On the right side of your browser window and sometimes above the organic results are the Sponsored Links. The Sponsored Links are paid advertisements—they are always identified as such by the heading Sponsored Links.

As participants in this automated auction, each of these advertisers is bidding for the keyword coffee. They pay only if someone is interested enough to click on the advertisement; if nobody clicks on the ad, the cost is zero. The higher the advertiser bids on a keyword, the higher in the rankings the ad appears and the more likely Web searchers will see it. Ranking means visibility, though you do not have to be at the top of the rankings or bid the highest amount for prospects to see your ad and click on it. Your goal is to get the lowest cost per click (CPC) and the highest quality clicks (sales and leads) for your budget.

Finding Your Niche

Sometimes with popular keywords (like coffee), there are many companies competing. On the other hand, popular keywords get millions of searches, so there might be enough clicks to go around.

The only way to find out if a particular keyword will work for you is to try it. The problem is that many other advertisers are bidding for the popular keywords, so your CPC is likely to be high. You are more likely to get a low CPC with more obscure, highly targeted keywords. It will take some thought to come up with the right keywords.

Our coffee roaster would probably want to try the keyword coffee, and watch it like a hawk as it could result in many low-quality clicks (not many conversions to leads or sales). If a keyword does not produce high-quality clicks after a reasonable trial period (a couple of weeks), then remove it; it may even be obvious sooner that a keyword is costing money but not producing results.

Perhaps our coffee roaster sells shade-grown coffee that protects Central American songbird habitat. While far fewer people are searching for shade-grown coffee than just coffee, it is likely to yield a lower CPC and higher quality clicks.

Do some brainstorming and write down an initial list of keywords that match your market niche. This process of finding targeted keywords will be a useful exercise to help you focus your campaigns and maximize your return on investment.

Getting Started

The first thing you need to get started with AdWords is a goal. Is your goal to make direct sales via e-commerce on your Web site? Is your goal to capture sales leads that you can follow-up with and make the sale? Alternatively, is your goal a combination of both? Once you have determined a goal, you need a Web site that helps you achieve that goal.

Your site should be eye-catching and well-organized and should include landing pages for your products or services. To see some examples of landing pages, do a search for your services, and look at what other companies in your market are doing.

The landing page can be your homepage if your site tightly focuses on one product or service you are advertising (e.g., this permission-based email marketing site). Otherwise, the landing page should be within your larger site and should focus on the specific product or service you are advertising.

If you are selling directly from your Web site, it should include a secure e-commerce system. Any good, technically competent Web design firm can set this up for you.

If you want sales leads, then your site should include a call to action to persuade people to request more information. The way they submit a lead is to click on a link to a lead-capture form. You need a form that at a minimum sends you—or the appropriate sales staff—an email, but ideally it should also create a lead for you in a customer relationship management (CRM) system such as SalesForce or SugarCRM.

Whether you are selling directly from your site or capturing leads, your site should always have obvious ways to contact you using whatever method the prospect feels most comfortable using: a contact form, email, or telephone. Some company sites make it hard to figure out how to contact them for more information.

It is important to have a number of people—both inside and outside of your company—test your Web site for usability and ease of use. Prospects should never have to wonder how to buy from you or how to contact you to ask a question about your products or services.

Signing up for Google AdWords

Once you have a goal, Web site, and landing page, you are ready to sign up for Google AdWords. Learn by doing. It is easier to write the advertisement and select keywords using the tools that Google provides during the sign up process.

If you plan to spend at least /day on AdWords, Google offers a JumpStart program to help you get started using AdWords. Google JumpStart specialists will help you create a campaign. The cost of the program is 9, but Google will apply that as a credit toward the cost of your initial clicks.

Campaigns and Ad Groups

The Campaign level is where you set your daily budget, language targeting, location targeting, ad distribution preferences, and the start and end dates for your campaigns (if applicable).

The Ad Group level is where enter your keywords and the advertisements themselves. Each Ad Group has one or more ads. Write at least two ads for each ad group so you can try different approaches and compare the results.

In my experience, it has been beneficial to create multiple campaigns so I can experiment with different parameters and compare the results.

Targeting

Choose the language you want to target, and then the countries or territories. This requires some thought. Can you offer your product or service globally, in just the United States, or in just your city or region? You can target your campaign to the world or to specific countries, regions, states, or cities.

For even more precise targeting, you can even target your campaign to a certain number of miles from your business or even an area bounded by coordinates.

Writing Your Advertisements

You have just a 25-character title to get surfers’ attention, and a 70-character ad to get people interested enough to want to click on your ad. It is not a lot of text, so make it pithy.

Write the Headline, the text of the ad, and enter the Display Link (always link to main page of your Web site), and then enter the Destination URL (your landing page). The Destination URL might be your main page or a page within your main site dedicated just to selling the product at hand.

Here’s a fictional ad example:

Headline: Shade Grown Coffee Beans

Description line 1: Shade grown coffee. Tastes

Description line 2: better & saves valuable rainforest.

Display URL: www.goodshadegrowncoffee.com

Destination URL: www.goodshadegrowncoffee.com?&utm_id=coff1

Another example:

Headline: Shade Grown Coffee Beans

Description line 1: Coffee that tastes better and

Description line 2: protects valuable rainforest.

Display URL: www.goodshadegrowncoffee.com/

Destination URL: www.goodshadegrowncoffee.com?&utm_id=coff2

Conversion Tracking

To track the conversion rate of your campaigns—i.e., how many sales or leads you get for your investment—requires a little preparation. You will need to have your webmaster embed snippets of code to the appropriate pages on your Web site. Google explains how to set up and implement your conversion tracking code here, including example code.

Google Analytics

In the fictional advertisement examples I gave, you may have noticed codes in the destination URLs: “coff1″ and “coff2″. These are tracking codes that facilitate the tracking of a wealth of information by Google Analytics.

Google Analytics, which Google has integrated with AdWords, is a very powerful service for tracking the success of both your organic and paid search results for your site. It will help you better understand your site visitors’ experience in detail. In addition, you can learn what keywords bring in the best prospects, and which of your campaigns are delivering the best return on investment. You can use Google Analytics to track marketing campaigns other than AdWords as well.

Google Analytics is too big a topic to cover much here, but I will devote a future article entirely to this powerful marketing tracking service.

Choosing Your Keywords

As I mentioned earlier, it is important to pick good keywords. Initially, choose both general keywords and narrowly targeted keywords, and carefully evaluate the results. Keep keywords that are getting you results, and remove keywords that are not working for you. You will probably need to run your campaigns for a while before you will have enough information to determine which keywords are succeeding for you.

In the keyword space provided in the setup process, list the keywords or keyword phrases you would like to use. Because people tend to type fast when they search the web, be sure to include common misspellings of your keywords. Here are some example keywords that our fictional coffee roaster might use:

* coffee
* coffe
* shade grown coffee
* shade grown coffe
* shade grown
* shade coffee
* coffee shade grown
* shade grown coffee migratory birds
* benefits of shade grown coffee
* gourmet coffee
* gourmet coffee beans
* gourmet coffees
* coffee beans
* gourmet coffee beans
* organic coffee
* organic coffee beans
* certified organic coffee
* coffee beans organic
* mail order organic coffee
* bulk coffee

To get more keywords, enter a keyword into the Keyword Tool Box and click on Get More Keywords. This will generate additional keywords, some of which will be relevant to you and some of which will not be relevant. Keep the relevant keywords and toss the rest.

Now, you have a good starting list. Later, you will want to add new keywords and remove non-performing keywords. A good keyword is one that yields conversions: customers or good leads.

Google Search vs. Google Content Network

Google AdWords can place your add in essentially two places: Google search and the content network. Google search are results from searches that prospective customers do directly using www.google.com. The content network consists of Google partner sites and sites that run advertisements through Google’s AdSense program.

In my experience, Google search has yielded much more quality clicks than the content network. The content network is worth trying, but I recommend putting it into a separate campaign so you can measure its results against your Google search campaign.

The content network is opt-out, and it is not possible to opt out during the setup process. However, to opt out of the content network for a specific campaign, you can go back to campaign settings and uncheck the checkbox for content network.

Then setup a separate campaign where you focus on the content network and opt out of the search network. Compare the results between the two campaigns. It is possible that you will find Google search is more productive than the content network, but of course your results may be different from mine.

If you want to keep it simple until you are more comfortable with AdWords, I recommend starting with just the search network. Then come back in a few weeks and set up a separate campaign to try the content network, then compare the results with what you are getting with the search network.

Your Daily Budget

Your daily budget for your campaign is the ceiling on your daily spending. You can set this number at whatever you want. It is a good idea to start out with a relatively low daily budget while you refine your AdWords effectiveness. As your ad campaigns succeed and bring you more business, you will likely want to increase your budget.

Start with a daily budget of about – per day and gradually increase that amount as you fine-tune your approach.

Your Bid

In addition to your daily budget, you will need to set a maximum bid that you are willing to pay as a cost per click (CPC). This requires some trial and error to get right. Being the highest bidder is not really what that you want. Instead, you want to get the most quality clicks you can for your budget. If you bid too high, your CPC will be too high and will eat up your budget too fast; if you bid to low you will not get enough clicks and hence enough sales.

You might try starting with a bid of .50, and see what happens for a day or two. Then gradually raise or lower the bid, depending on results. If clicks consume your daily budget in a couple of hours, then lower your bid. If the advertisements are not getting many clicks, then raise your bid. Continue this process until you find the optimal bid.

Leads and Sales

What if visitors are clicking on your ad but are not buying or contacting you? That likely means your ad is working but your site or landing page is not persuading prospective customers to take the next step. It can also mean that your product or service needs some work to become more competitive. Compare what you are offering to what your competitors are offering.

The simplest things can make a dramatic difference. When your landing page is not getting you conversions, change one thing and see what happens over the next day or two. That way, you can determine which changes work. Do not be afraid to try possible solutions, knowing that some changes will fail and some will work well.

Recently, one of our landing pages was not getting enough conversions, so I made some minor changes to the wording on the page and conversions started going up the next day. On another page, we replaced our very simple order form with a much more elaborate version. Our sales for that service immediately plummeted. We simply changed the order form back to the simpler version and sales picked up again immediately.

Harvesting From the Money Tree

The Google AdWords money tree is now planted, optimized, and working to bring you leads and sales. What do you do now? Harvest it, of course, by solid follow-through and providing the best possible service for your clients.

Go back from time to time and take a look at your results. Make adjustments to your budget and bids as needed. Write another advertisement that takes a slightly different tack. Remove an ad that is not producing high quality clicks for you. Make some improvements to your Web site to see whether you can increase your conversion rate.

Practice Kaizen—a Japanese word for continuous, incremental improvement. Even if your Google AdWords money tree is providing good yields, there are always ways to improve its performance.

So pour yourself a cup of good coffee, and get started using Google AdWords today!

Google AdWords Basics Part Two – Writing Ads in AdWords

Google AdWords Basics Part Two – Writing Ads in AdWords

INTRODUCTION

This article discusses exactly how to use AdWords, i.e. how to create ads and how to optimize them for AdWords. All the information herein is pertinent only to Google AdWords, and not necessarily to other Pay Per Click (PPC) advertisers such as Yahoo or MSN. I do all my current advertising with Google AdWords, because Google rewards you for providing relevant content, i.e. the more you know what you’re doing, and the higher the relevance of the ads you place, the cheaper Google will allow you to advertise for. If you know what you’re doing, Google is the place to advertise.

HOW ADWORDS WORKS

For anyone who doesn’t know the very basics of how Google AdWords works, I will explain (for technical aspects and common AdWords terms, see my other AdWords Basics article). You, the user, place an ad with Google. You write out a few short lines of what you’re promoting, specify your keywords, and link your ad to the page you want to send people to. Google places this ad on the right hand side of its page when someone searches for your keyword. If you have no idea what I’m talking about when I say “keyword”, read my article “Keyword Analysis (Search Engine Optimization) In Internet Marketing” which explains the basics. Essentially though, a keyword is a word or phrase being searched for on Google which will trigger your ad to appear.

NOTE: In “Keyword Analysis (Search Engine Optimization) In Internet Marketing” I write about keywords pertaining to organic listings (“organic” means the listings which or not paid for, i.e. the results directly under your search, not the ones on the right side of the page on Google). The basics of keyword analysis is the same here, but the section where I talk about determining your competition for each keyword is irrelevant, because there I am talking about your competition for organic listings, not in the paid listings, so ignore that part.

HOW TO WRITE AN AD

So, let’s begin with an example of a simple ad in AdWords. Let’s say you want to sell guitars. First, create a Campaign in AdWords called “Guitar”. The title of the Campaign is not super important, but at least make it something related to what you’re selling. Next you want to title your Ad Group. The title of the Ad Group is very important, and is relevant to all the keywords you’re going to add to your Ad Group. Your Ad Group title is important, because it will be the base keyword for all your keywords. To explain, let’s say I want to sell Gibson guitars. My Ad Group title will be “Gibson Guitars”, and every keyword that I now add to this Ad Group will contain the words “gibson guitars”. This is because as I said above, you will do better with Google Adwords if your ads are relevant. For your ads to be relevant, you want your Ad Group title in the title of your actual ad. If all of your keywords contain your Ad Group title, then at least part of each keyword will be in your actual ad title. This is very important to Google. Your relevance will go way up in Google’s eyes if the term that a person is searching for is in your ad title. For more on relevancy in AdWords, see the section “Click Through Rate” in my other AdWords Basics article.

So let’s go to the free WordTracker tool at http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ (again, I would recommend reading “Keyword Analysis (Search Engine Optimization) In Internet Marketing” for further information on this). Type “guibson guitars” in and click search. Now the keywords you choose are going to depend on exactly what you’re selling; obviously if you’re only selling electric guitars, you don’t want “gibson acoustic guitars” as one of your keywords, this is just going to waste your money. Go through the Wordtracker list, and add as many terms as you can that you think are relevant. I would recommend putting your keywords in your list twice, once in square brackets like this [keyword], and once in quotes like this “keyword”. If your keyword is in square brackets, your ad will only be triggered if someone types in exactly what you have within the square brackets, in that exact order. If your keyword is in quotes, your ad will be triggered if any phrase is searched for containing your keyword, in the same order in which you entered it. For example, if your keyword was “electric gibson guitars”, your ad would be triggered if “buy electric gibson guitars” was searched for. However, if “electric gibson black guitars” was searched for, then your ad would not be triggered.

I would recommend also entering your keyword without quotes or brackets, because this can trigger your ad for any phrase entered that contains your keyword. For example, if your keyword was “electric Gibson guitars”, your keyword could be triggered by a search for “I want to buy gibson black electric guitar”. You have to be very careful with this however, because you don’t want your ad to be triggered for irrelevant searches. For example, you don’t want your ad triggered for “pictures of electric gibson guitars”, because this would just serve to lower your CTR. This is where negative keywords come in very useful. I have written an additional article on negative keywords called “Google AdWords Basics Part Three – Negative Keywords”, which I would recommend reading. Again, for more on relevancy with AdWords, see the section “Click Through Rate” in my other AdWords Basics article.

Google allows three lines for your to type for your ad. Your first line will be for your ad title, and should always contain your Ad Group title, and hence at least of part of your keyword (to increase your relevancy). The second and third lines are completely up to you to decide what to write. Perry Marshall suggests however that your second line be a benefit of your product, and your third line be a feature of your product. An example of a benefit could be “Gibsons Make You A Better Player” or “The Guitars The Pros Use”, while a feature could be “Rosewood And Maple Fretboards” or “Over 100 Models To Choose From”.

OPTIMIZING YOUR ADS

You should also always split-test your ads. The smallest change could dramatically change your CTR (for more on CTR, see the section “Click Through Rate” in my other AdWords Basics post). To split-test ads, go to your Ad Group, then Ad Variations, then Create New Ad. You will create an ad that is very similar to your first ad, but with some slight difference. For example, if your title is “Electric Gibson Guitars”, try changing it to “New Electric Gibson Guitars” or “Great Electric Gibson Guitar Models”. You could also try reversing your second and third lines, or changing their wording too. You will run the two ads at the same time, and Google will show you which ad performs better. When you have sufficient data to decide which is the better-performing ad, delete the lower-performing ad and create a new ad variation to test against the better-performing ad. This way you can constantly increase your CTR. Only change one variable at a time however, otherwise you won’t know why your new ad is performing better than the old one. This may seem tedious, but it has been proven that minor changes can sometimes make a huge different in your CTR.

CONCLUSION

This is the very basics of AdWords. I would highly recommend Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Google AdWords to get more detail on the topics I’ve covered here. It is a document you will have to pay for, but it is worth it.

Using Google Adwords to Drive Traffic to your Website

Using Google Adwords to Drive Traffic to your Website

Highly targeted traffic is one of the most important entities in the internet universe. Any website owner or administrator recognizes the importance of driving traffic to a website. The success of any website does not rely entirely on the site itself. You may have a terrific idea for a website, offer an excellent product or service, or have an exceptionally designed site with superb content, but if you do not use the right strategies to advertise, your site would not attract the high traffic you need. Attracting targeted traffic is a task that should be taken seriously for any site to succeed or make a profit. Fortunately, there are internet-marketing tools that help the website marketer to drive traffic to his website. One of the most significant, and effective, of these tools is Google’s Adwords. Adwords is one of Google’s advertising services.

How does Google Adwords work? Google is the largest search engine on the web receiving over 200 million queries each day through its various services. As Google is the most popular search engine today, webmasters are keen on having their websites achieve a higher ranking in the search engine results it provides. A high ranking can mean high traffic for that website. The search engine results page is also a great venue for advertisers to promote a product or service through ads and links. Consequently, Google launched its Adwords service, as a way for businesses to advertise products and services to a targeted audience. Google Adwords can guarantee instant traffic. In this service, Google displays relevant text based ads within its search engine results page termed as “Sponsored Links”. Whenever a particular keyword is searched on, these relevant links appear in a separate section giving excellent exposure to the sites listed.

How do you use Google Adwords? First, you have to open an account with the Google Adwords Service. Then, you should indicate your target language and country. This is important because you would not want your products advertised in countries where your product or service cannot be sold. Afterwards, you should now create an ad group. This involves designing the ad, selecting keywords and determining maximum cost per click that you are willing to spend and defining bid amounts. The most important step in creating a successful Adwords campaign is selecting an effective title tag that will catch the attention of your target audience. The title tag, generally a short phrase, is the most important part of your Adwords campaign so make sure that it is attractive and catchy. You should describe the website clearly and accurately. The most effective advertising conveys a clear message to the target audience. With a clear message, you will be attracting qualified leads, which can eventually convert to sale. Thus, the importance of selecting the right keywords cannot be overemphasized.

There are keyword variations you can adapt to reach more prospects. Using these varieties, misspellings and derivatives can help increase the chance of your ads being served. Broad match is targeting keywords in a loosely defined manner. Here, the ads appear based on the keywords that have been queried by other users as opposed to exact match, which calls for the keyword to match the query exactly. Meanwhile, a keyword phrase set to phrase match will only appear when the exact phrase is searched on. A negative keyword is helpful in filtering unrelated pages.

After you have decided on what title tag to use in your ad, you must now define a budget in order to maximize exposure. Google Adwords recommend a daily budget for each campaign. However, you should determine a budget that is suitable and affordable. You should also determine the maximum cost per click. Google will offer a recommended cost per click, but you do not have to stick with this. Usually, a number one position is not ideal as it can also attract unwanted traffic and useless clicks. A number two position is more preferred as it can filter useless clicks and provide traffic with a higher conversion rate.

To conclude, Google Adwords is an excellent strategy and tool in giving your site maximum exposure. Nevertheless, Google Adwords should not be your sole advertising campaign. It will definitely help you find the all-important, highly targeted traffic you need.

Every good marketer knows there are just three basic things behind winning AdWords campaigns — (1) a clickable attention getting ad… (2) a decent click-through rate… and (3) mastering the techniques keyword targeting. Oh yeah, have a great product to promote too, but we know you have a couple of good ones, right?

Some guys think they can buy their way to the top of Google AdWords…but it is frightfully expensive, I know…I tried that and failed, maybe you did too! You have seen them – top of the line websites with mega budgets bidding the ads sky-high so that a little marketer like you and I just can not hope to compete! So, you do not have the big bucks to throw away on Google AdWords! Most marketers do not and the cost of Google AdWords ad bid price is getting just plain…well, shameful!

Google is pocketing your money

Google is pocketing all your money just like she used to do mine! Many are searching the Internet for the “next big thing” to help them with running their Google AdWords campaigns. You know the story, you buy the next biggest hyped ebook or whatever and still it does not work like they said it would and your campaigns are still not making you the money you want! Well, that is NOT the end of the story…here is why.

The top Google AdWords pros are keeping a nasty secret from you. Sure, they create the new ebooks and courses to show their expertise, and even occasionally “reveal” ONLY SOME of their favourite tips on handling Google AdWords and show off just a few of their own hard won tips and tricks…

One thing the “AdWords Guru Pros” do not want you to have, is the knowledge or the REAL SECRETS of the science of Google AdWords that will give you the pro-level AdWords skills, that will make you just as smart as they are!

THE REAL SECRETS

I discovered REAL SECRETS of the science of Google AdWords when I watched the Google AdWords Guide DVD. It was like going back to school, having a teacher standing in front of class or over your shoulders teaching you. As I watched the AdWords Guide DVD I started to see things I was not doing right with my AdWords Campaigns. By the time I finished watching the DVDs I was armed to Beat Google at Her Own Game and avoid AdWords mine field and her Slaps.

Whether you agree with me or not, many have a busy lifestyle and some finding it difficult to read and to understand. Educational Videos come very handy in this respect. Unlike teachers in a literal classroom you can rewind and replay points that you need more understand.

When you watch screen captured videos and commentary with the mouse moving on the screen showing you what to do, it feel so real, it gives a sense of someone standing by teaching you. One thing is to read about a story, but quite another to see it in action movie – on the screen. Some of us learn and comprehend more this way than to read, or what do you think?

The Guide To Google AdWords DVD will give you much more than you ever thought, is very interactive, taken you back to your classroom days. it has been especially designed to meet the needs of anyone who really want to succeed with Google AdWords campaigns. Owning and immersing yourself on the information in the DVD means you will suddenly have more campaigns with more ads making more money for you day and night!…

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – 4 Factors To Think About When Hiring A Google Adwords Consultant

For an online marketer who is aware that Google Adwords can be a good help for his business, he would need some guidelines for him to know how to take advantage of its benefits.

1. Do You Really Need a Google Adwords Expert?

Companies and websites that earn thousands each month are welcome to hire a Google Adwords consultant or expert. However, if you are just a small company or own a small website, one option you can do is to train yourself or one of your employees to master Google Adwords.

But if you don’t have the slightest idea of what you do or what Google Adwords is and what it can do, then you might just lose much money. Each mistake you commit with Google Adwords can cost you a lot. If at this point you are uncertain whether to hire a Google Adwords consultant or not, you might want to ask yourself the following questions before jumping into any decision.

- How much will I be able to save when I hire a Google Adwords consultant or professional?

- How much money will I have to give out to hire an expert?

- How much am I going to get in return?

2. How Will You Search for a Google Adwords Expert?

Silly as it may seem, you can get a Google Adwords consultant through word of mouth. Lately, suddenly everyone presents themselves as Adwords experts but most of them are not. Your best shot at getting a genuine expert is through research – search for Adwords bloggers because most of the time, these people gives out tips and pieces of advice about Google Adwords. They are confident to give out tips since it is common knowledge in the Google community. Adwords bloggers are also qualified to help you understand the ins and outs in Google Adwords.

3. How Much Does a Google Adwords Professionals Cost?

The price depends on the person you hire. It can vary, especially in the field of freelance services and there is no clear-cut estimates as far as their fees are concerned. However, the usual going rate for an Adwords professional lies between to 0 an hour, depending on the experience and the person’s location. Location is a determining factor because somebody working freelance, say from India, will definitely give you almost half the price of the ones you will from New York. The best option you have is to ask for references and check if they were satisfied with the service offered by a certain Adwords expert.

Always remember that a Google Adwords Certification is provided to those who are actually adept with Adwords – both the individual and company level. If you decide to hire a Google Adwords consultant, make sure that the person or the company that he or she is working for has the proper credentials and the actual expertise you need.

4. Or Should You Instead Find a Good Courseand Be the Expert Yourself?

It is much easier to do it on your own than expect someone to do it for you, given the significance and benefits that you can get from Google Adwords. Consider it a good investment for yourself and your business as well.

How To Write Effective Google Adwords Ads

How To Write Effective Google Adwords Ads

In this article I show you my top twelve tips for creating effective Google AdWords ads.

I’ve been testing the Google pay per click advertising system for a while, with much success. These tips will help you create ads that generate higher click through rates, and lower cost per click.

1. Target The Right Audience

Target the right audience by selecting the language and countries that you want to target. For example, I exclude all countries where English is not understood by a large percentage of the population.

2. Refine Your Keywords

Use square brackets “[...]” around your keyword/s.

For example:

[google]
[google adwords]

Your ad will only show when the search is for the exact keyword phrase you have included within the brackets.

The ad will not show for searches that include other keywords. In our example, this would be for searches such as “google search,” or “google news.”

3. Test Multiple Ads Simultaneously

Always test 2 (or more) ads simultaneously. This is what is known in the print industry as an A/B split test.

Find out which one produces the higher click through ratio. Then replace the weaker performing ad with a new one.

Continue this process in your never-ending quest to get the highest click through ratio possible.

4. Track The Return-On-Investment Of Each Ad

Google tracks the click through ratio of each ad. But it doesn’t track the conversion ratio.

Use a special tracking link in each ad to track its conversion ratio. For example, you could attach each ad with an affiliate tracking system link. Make sure each ad produces a return-on-investment.

5. Include Targeted Keywords In Your Ad

Include the targeted keywords in the headline and the description of the ad. Google will highlight searched keywords in bold in the ad.

When people scan search results, they look for the keywords they have entered. Searched keywords highlighted in bold certainly help to catch the user’s attention. For this reason, ads with searched keywords usually perform better than ones without.

6. Sell The Benefits

Spell out one or more major benefit in your ad. For example, make more money, stay younger looking, lose weight, get healthier, live happier, etc.

7. Include Attention Grabbing Words In Your Ad

Start your headline with an attention grabbing word. For example, “Free:, New:, Sale:, etc.” Make sure you stay within Google’s editorial guidelines.

8. Use Words That Provoke Emotion & Enthusiasm

Use power words or call-to-action phrases that provoke emotion, enthusiasm and a response.

Here are some examples of power words:

free, cheap, sale, special offer, time limited offer, tricks, you, tips, enhance, discover, fact, learn, at last, free shipping, etc.

Here are some examples of call-to-action phrases:

* Buy Today – Save 50%
* Download Free Trial Now
* Sale Ends Tomorrow

Make sure the phrase specific to your business, otherwise Google may reject the phrase.

9. Sell Your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)

What makes your product or service better, or different, from the competition? Spell them out in your ad.

For example, one of Amazon.com’s first taglines was “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore.” That’s a powerful USP!

10. Link To Relevant Landing Pages

If an ad is for a specific product or service, create a landing page for the ad. Include relevant and useful information to convert the customer. Generally, a well designed landing page will almost always convert more visitors than if you simply sent the visitor to the home page.

11. Remove Common Words

Remove common words, such as “a, an, in, on, it, of, etc.” Remove every word that does not absolutely need to be in the ad. Make every word count.

12. Deter Freebie Hunters

Deter freebie hunters by including the price of the product or service at the end of the ad. This will improve your overall conversion ratio and lower your average customer acquisition cost.

This may reduce your click through ratio, but that’s OK. After all, you’re not trying to target every body, only potential customers. In most cases, freebie hunters will never become paying customers.

Conclusion

Remember that advertising is a never-ending series of tests. Always track your ads. Never stop testing different keywords and ads to improve your conversion ratio and lower your customer acquisition cost.

Advertising in the Google AdWords advertising system works. It may not necessarily produce as many visitors as Overture, but the click through cost is usually lower.

Top tips in writing effective Google AdWords selected ads that convert

Top tips in writing effective Google AdWords selected ads that convert

“Tip 1. Targeting the right audience, (use a sniper rifle not a shotgun, its cheaper)

Target the right audience by selecting the language and location that you want to target, this can be broken down into cities. For example, I exclude all countries but South Africa I can even go so far as excluding specific sites that cater for the younger generation if needs be.

Tip 2. Test Multiple Ads Simultaneously AB testing or multi variant testing, it works!!

Always test 2 (or more) ads simultaneously spread you eggs to a number of different baskets. Find out which ad produces the higher click through ratio. Then replace the weaker performing ad with a new one, you need to do this for at least 2 weeks before changing to a different ad.

Continue this process in your never-ending quest to get the highest click through ratio possible.

Tip 3. Track the return-on-investment (ROI) of each ad

Google tracks the click through ratio (CTR) of each ad. But it doesn’t track the conversion ratio.

Use a special tracking link in each ad to track its conversion ratio. For example, you could attach each ad with an affiliate tracking system link. Make sure each ad produces a return-on-investment.

Tip 4. Include targeted keywords in every ad

Targeted keywords draw attention, and is better received by Google, in the headline and the description of the ad. Google will highlight searched keywords in bold in the ad drawing the viewer.

People don’t read online they scan for what they want, they look for the keywords that interest them, keywords highlighted in bold certainly help to catch the user’s attention.

Tip 5. Sell the benefits of your product or service

Spell out one or more major benefit in your ad. For example, save money, expert advice etc.. this adds more substance to your ad, and can also reduce the unwanted searchers.

Tip 6.Include descriptive words in your ad

Start your headline with a descriptive word that attracts the views attention, try and be unique this will make you stand out from the other ads.

Tip 7. Emotion invokes our senses

Use power words or call-to-action words that provoke enthusiasm and emotion that will elicit a response.
Some examples: free, cheap, sale, special offer, time limited offer, buy now – Save up to 50%, Download for free.

Tip 8. Sell yourself, what makes you different

What makes your product or service better, or different, from the competition? Spell them out in your ad.

Tip 9.Link your ads to internal pages

If an ad is for a specific product or service, create a landing page for the ad if someone is looking for car insurance make sure they land on the car insurance page and not on the home page, this will increase the conversion rate of the site.

How To Improve CTR Of Your Google Adwords!

How To Improve CTR Of Your Google Adwords!

As you are aware, Google Adwords is one of the most popular PPC
avenues because of several features.

* Low signup cost (only ) * Instant activation of your account
* Instant activation of your ad campaign * Provision to set
daily spending limits

As the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) goes up, your ad position
improves and Cost-Per-Click (CPC) goes down. This really puts
Google Adwords in a different league.

Here are some simple tips to improve your CTR –

1) Specific matching along with broad matching

Generally when you want to advertise for, say, online dating,
you put online dating in the keywords list. I suggest that you
all of these in the keywords list -

[online dating] “online dating” online dating

This way, when a searcher types just online dating, the click is
credited to the 1st keyword. If the searcher types a keyphrase
including online dating in that order but as part of a bigger
term like free online dating, it is credited to the 2nd keyword.
And if both online and dating are present but not together and
in that order, like online singles dating, it is credited to the
3rd keyword.

This improves the CTR for certain specific keywords and helps to
lower your CPC and also improves your ad position.

2) Use a variable title

Did you know that your clickthrough rate (CTR) goes up when the
searcher sees his keywords (that he searched for) in your ad?
This is because Google shows these words in bold.

But you don’t know what term this searcher has used. So how can
you put the term in the title? Try this.

Put this string in the title field on the Adwords screen -

{KeyWord: Default Title} where you replace “Default Title” with
a suitable text. Now Google will show the search term as the ad
title if the searched term fits within the 25 character limit
and your default title if the search term won’t fit.

Example – say you use {KeyWord: Online Dating} as the title and
dating as the keyword.

If someone searches for dating help, the shown title will be
Dating Help. However if one searches for free online dating
resources, Google will show Online Dating because the search
term won’t fit in the title space (25 characters).

Did you notice the capitalization? If you use Keyword, then
only the first word would be capitalized. If you use keyword,
all the letters will be in small case.

This tip alone can boost your CTR by 157% or more.

3) Variable destination URL

Did you know that Google now allows variable destination URLs?
Why do you need that? Variable destination URL can help you
identify the terms that the searchers are using and you can
alter your page content to suit those terms for a much better
conversion.

Let’s see the syntax to get the search term in the destination
URL –

http://www.ebizindia.co
m/pam.php?kw=google tips

Here we are sending the searcher to a PHP program (you can use a
Perl program also), which then stores the terms in a database
for easy analysis. You can plan for yourself how you want to put
this information to your advantage.

Frankly this tip does not increase your clickthrough rate
directly but once you know what the searches were searching for,
when they arrived at your site, you can change your message for
a much better response
