Guido Nussbaum asked:


How Google Adwords works:

You write your ads and choose keywords or key phrases.

You bid on your chosen keywords or phrases in an attempt to get top placement.

Your ad appears on pages with the keyword you have bid on, if you bid enough.

When a person searches your keyword they have the option of clicking on your ad to learn about you and to purchase what you have available.

Google has a keyword tool that helps you chose appropriate keywords or phrases. It is very easy to use, with easy to understand instructions.

Google helps you design a website for free if you don’t already have one. You can use Google Adwords even if you have no website. You just need a product to promote, or choose to promote yourself.

How Google Adwords expands your customer base:

Google’s content network partner sites makes popular sites such as AOL, NY Times, etc. available for your ads, meaning quality exposure.

Google’s context targeting means your ad will appear next to content that relates to it. For example, if you sell horse blankets, your ad may appear next to an article that discusses horse training. You can also hand-pick sites using placement targeting.

Placement Performance Reports gives you feedback on clicks, impressions, costs, and conversions, enabling you to make intelligent, informed advertising decisions.

The scoop on cost:

You set your own budget. You set a daily maximum amount, and an amount per click. There is no minimum, but you can set maximums so you know exactly what you are going to have to pay.

Google provides traffic statistics and estimated cost for certain keywords so you can make wise choices about keywords and your advertising budget.

You pay only for results. You don’t pay for impressions, but only pay when someone clicks on your ad. Though this doesn’t necessarily mean a sale, it does prevent paying for your ad appearing without being clicked on.

Location Targeting:

Google Adwords allows you to target only your city, state, or a particular region with a specified distance from you business.

Searches for information about your business give location, contact information, and an image of your choice on a map.

Invalid clicks:

Google has a number of systems in use to detect invalid clicks. They also have hands-on teams that examine click patterns for invalid clicks.

If you have been charged for invalid clicks within a two month period, Google will refund your charges for those clicks.

When your URL is unavailable:

You will still be charged for clicks even if your site is down.

The ability for you to monitor your account means you should be aware of an unavailable URL.

You can pause or delete a campaign at any time so a non-working URL can be detected early and the campaign halted.

The reason for low conversion rates:

High competition can mean low conversion rates. That is why it is important to monitor ROI (Return on Investment) so you can adjust your budget accordingly.

Difficulty in navigating your site can lead to poor conversion rates. It is essential to optimize your site for customer usage, and monitor your conversion rate to indicate any problems.

Keywords and ad text may not be coordinated closely enough. This results in your ads being placed on irrelevant sites and on clicks that do not result in sales.

Google Adwords is a much touted method for marketing online. It has it pits and downfalls, as well as its redeeming factors. The key is to monitor, focus, and “tweak” your campaigns daily. You can’t just “set it and forget it.” You have to stay on top or you can spend a fortune with no return. Handled correctly, Google Adwords can be a source of excellent, targeted, inexpensive advertising.

Himanshu Joshi asked:


If you are interested in advancing your abilities and value in the realm of Internet marketing, there are two special certification programs that you will want to take a look at and consider:

- Google Adwords Qualified Individual Program

- Yahoo Ambassador Program

In order to give you a better idea of these two different certification programs, a brief overview is provided for your consideration. Armed with this information you will be in the best possible position to determine whether one or another of these certification programs – or perhaps both – will best meet your needs not only today but into the future as well.

Google Adwords Qualified Individual Program

In order to be certified as a Google Adwords Individual program participant you will be required to undergo an examination conducted by Google Adwords. Through the overall certification process developed by Google Adwords, you will learn how to utilize the essential tools that are made available to certified individuals and that can be used by you to attract and then provide services to your own set of pay per click customers or clients.

There is a nominal charge to take the Google Adwords examination. However, most people who have gone through the certification process deem it a worthwhile investment.

In this day and age, a growing number of potential clients or customers actually are aware of the Google Adwords Qualified Individual program. Therefore, the reality is that this type of certification really is proving to be a selling point for people who are interested in gaining a clientele interested in Google Adwords development and related services.

Yahoo Ambassador Program

The Yahoo Ambassador program is really very similar to the Google Adwords program discussed a moment ago. Once again, a person seeking this certification will be trained in how to utilize the various tools that are made available through Yahoo in regard to that search engine’s own pay per click program.

In the Yahoo Ambassador program you will take an examination (for which you will have to pay a nominal fee). At the present time, the Yahoo Ambassador program is not as well established or as well known as the comparable program offered through Google Adwords. However, with that noted, many professionals are opting for both certifications to make them all the more attractive to their own potential clients or customers.

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

* Low signup cost (only $5) * 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={keyword}

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

People sometimes have difficulty putting together a good google adwords campaign,(I know I do)Here is some guidelines and techniques that will greatly increase your page rateing and click threw rate when you are doing a google adwords campaign.

Using keywords that are not highly targeted to your ad copy, or are too broad in nature will not perform for you very well.

Having the keywords from your ad group within your ad copy will give you quality score point and google will give you better positioning on search pages.If your keywords for your google adwords campaign is not highly targeted or to general they will not attrack the right type of traffic(customers).Do not use broad keywords because this will not only bring traffic that may not be ready to purchase it will increase the amount you have to bid for the keywords.,b>

Using the Common Keyword grouping will increase quality score.

Try to use the keywords in your ad,this will also increase your quality score and help to reach your target market.

Review sites tend to convert sales better, so if possible try to set a review site comparing 2 or 3 products nd make sure you have a clear winner,of that being the product you are advertising in the google adwords campaign.,b>

do not use the word free in your ad or may get a lot of people who are just looking for free information and they are not ready to buy. You may want to include the price to really filter out the people who are not ready to purchase and who are just kind of looking around window shopping.

Useing a question or using a call to action phrase is a great technique of attracting clicks (remember put yourself on the customers shoes "why" are they looking for this product or service).,B>

And remember to research your niche completely and do alot of key word research,and use the "Long tail "method

Also try to put yourself in the customers shoes,ask yourself why this person wants to buy this product.Say for instance the product is for weightloss.Do not just because the person wants to lose weight, the why would be something like"because they are getting married and want to look good for the wedding,or too have a defined six pack of abs.,or to look good in a swim suit.Try to think of the exact reason some one would be looking to purchase that product you are tryind to advertise.

And finally do not forget to test and tweak your campaign to increase the click threw rate.GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ADWORD CAMPAIGN

Michael Edworthy asked:

When you’re learning about something new, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of relevant information available. This informative article should help you focus on the central points.

Truthfully, the only difference between you and google ads experts is time. If you’ll invest a little more time in reading, you’ll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to google ads.

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!

A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an "oversight" on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his "secret" is illegal – nor does it require that you know someone on the "inside" at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses – all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …"

So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines – but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.

Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.

One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons] and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years’ period of time since applying his secret he’s done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."

Now to everyone else’s fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he’s not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We’ll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he’s already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it’s still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."

It is currently available at:

http://www.webmavericks.com/c/googlefree.html

…so you may want to head on over there now and get it.

It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you’re there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?

To your success,

Is Google Adwords still a profitable exercise?

If you can’t make it work you will be lacking two important strategies. The first of those strategies is finding a niche, this in itself is a difficult exercise. You may find searching for a niche could take weeks and weeks of research. But there is an answer.

The basic principle behind finding a niche is to track the keywords for a subject and see how much competition there is. A more time served professional of Google Adwords may not need such a specific requirement as they are able to defeat many other advertisers and rank higher; not necessarily by just bidding higher.

However for a beginner, the lack of competition is an important requirement to ease the burden of succeeding. Of course what Adwords can achieve is that you rank at the top of page one on Google, albeit on the right hand side. Such positioning can receive anything from 5 – 500 clicks a day. Some webmaster work years to get their website into the top 10 of Google and the Adwords system gets you there in 5 minutes.

Ideally if you are starting out you need to progress slowly until you understand the procedure and what to do when you start earning money for the first time. Getting clicks off Google is a relatively easy target to reach, it is what you do with them that counts.

If you do not have a good ‘sales page’, then people will be visiting your site and clicking the back button before you know it…

The second factor…

If you do not manage to get above 0.50% for your ‘click-through-rate’; then you will get the infamous ‘Google Slap’. This is where your cheap advertising costs of say $0.16 per click, suddenly is increased to a minimum bid of $4.00 or $10. Your campaign is temporarily paused until you increase your bid. Meaning of course your campaign has effectively ended.

Some may well have noticed that the Google Slap occurs even before a campaign has gone active. This is down to the Google algorithm and their quality score for your intended landing page. As you proceed through setting up an adwords campaign you will have noticed they send their bot crawling to rate your landing page to determine its quality.

Google need to pre-qualify your page to maintain a high standard of quality and keep both their etiquette and respect intact. They cannot have shoddy advertisers selling scam ideas or half baked individuals trying to earn mega bucks from some lame business concept. This improves the likelihood that Google will get respectable advertisers spending millions.

Although this strategy may sound too difficult for many, there is software on the market that can help with all this detail. Google Goggles being the main contender.

If you have a budget to buy software that helps your business plan proceed faster and also keeps Google at bay and earn you respect as an advertiser. Then Google Goggles is the ideal candidate. Its main functions, is to help you find undiscovered niches, and keep down the cost per click by suggesting improvements to your web sales page to give you a good Google quality score. Give it a test drive.

Forms of advertising have changed these days. Gone are the days when companies have to be dependent upon the traditional medium of advertising like newspaper, radio, TV etc. Now things have changed.

Zach Hoffman asked:

A key to a successful Internet Marketing Strategy is a Sponsored Search Marketing campaign. One primary part of Sponsored Search marketing is the Google AdWords system.

Google AdWords allows users the ability to bid on top placement on the Google website and the Google search network. The Google AdWords system also has access to a content network which allows syndication of their marketing across a variety of websites.

Google AdWords is categorized as Search Engine Marketing when it comes to an Internet Marketing Strategy.

We will dissect the structure of a Google AdWords account to help you plan out the proper strategy when it comes to the search engine marketing aspect of your Internet Marketing Strategy. A Google AdWords Account has the following structure:

Campaign > Ad Group > Keywords & Ad Copy

The campaign level of the Google AdWords account appears immediately after the main account level. A campaign is the level of an AdWords account is where you have the ability to set the geographic targeting, language targeting, time scheduling for both daily and for the time on the clock in 15 minute increments. The campaign level description should correlate with the internal theme of Ad Groups.

Campaign>AdGroup>Keywords & Ad Copy

The Ad Group level of the Google AdWords account appears immediately after the campaign level of the account. The Ad Group is the area where we are able to have 10,000 (ten-thousand) sections to organize your keywords in direct correlation with the Ad Copy you plan on your keywords triggering. Your Ad Group name should have a relevant theme to the keywords found in the Ad Group.

Campaign>AdGroup>Keywords & Ad Copy

The Keywords of the Google AdWords account appear directly below the Ad Group. Keywords are words you would like to target on the search engine. There are three distinct styles to create your keywords and they are broad match, phrase match, and exact match.

Broad match keywords target the words you typed in and any words in combination with them or between the words.

Phrase match is words locked next to each other but keywords are able to attach on to either end of the phrase.

Exact match is the exact keyword you want your Ad Copy to hit for. Your Ad Copy and keywords should have strong relevant correlation.

Campaign>AdGroup>Keywords & Ad Copy

Ad Copy is part of an Ad Group where you need to have strong relevancy and correlation with themes in the keyword set. The Ad Copy you are provided has area for 4 (four) messages: Ad Title, Description Line 1, Description Line 2, and your Display URL.

Your AdCopy should have multiple catches to stand out in the marketplace. Your Ad Title should create interest in your Ad Copy and help the rest of your message standout. One key to think about is what will set you apart from the general marketplace. This may include capitalizing all the words in your title or even placing a call to action with even the just the first word capitalized leading into a message. Your AdCopy will vary if you’re selling an item versus selling a service. Some ads may be local oriented if you are in the service business. Also, local oriented ads targeted to a specific geography will need to be separated into their own Campaign.

AdWords Account Structure Summary…

AdWords accounts take a well structured approach for the most optimal results and relevancy programmed in before you begin your bidding. We have been working on creating accounts for over 5 years and continue to learn something new every day. Be sure to manage and measure your account as the market is always changing, one great tracking mechanism is Google Analytics.

Online business owners can rake in huge profits by employing Pay per Click advertising techniques for their website. And, as a marketer, you are most likely to use Google AdWords as your main platform for this form of advertising. This one-of-its-kind program by search engine giant Google is easily comprehensible and simple to use.

When delving into search engine marketing, you have to rely on performance reports to give you an insight into the efficacy of your campaign. For PPC users, Ad Performance Reports are like ‘holy books’ that have to be preserved for improvisation of your efforts. These reports are compilations of statistics based on search engine functionality. They help you judge text and image ads and their efficiency in bringing in targeted visitors to your site.

In Google AdWords, you can create your own ad performance report in the following simple steps:

1) After logging in to your AdWords account, click on the ‘Reports’ tab at the top of the page.

2) Go to the ‘Create Report’ section and choose Ad Performance Report as your report type. You can also select different ad types of ad variations like text ads, image ads, video ads, etc.

3) Next, pick the kind of view you want for your report. You can choose to have data on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. The site provides extensive account-related information to its clients, as per their whims and fancies.

4) Amongst the settings, you can choose a date range for your report. This range helps you select the time span for your ad performance report. You can click on dates provided in the clickable calendars.

5) Next, you can pick the ad campaigns and ad groups that you wish to be reported on. You can also check the ‘Choose All’ option provided in the settings thereon.

6) There are a number of other columns available in the ‘Advanced Settings’ section. This will help you customise data that has to be included in your report.

7) Select a name for your Google AdWords report and save templates for the same. You will be forwarded reports in the same format.

The last step is to provide email addresses to which the reports and other notification are to be sent. You can also choose the preferred format for the file type from amongst the list of options available.

The aforementioned steps will guide you in picking data to be presented in your ad performance reports. This data will eventually determine the course of your future plans and ultimately the success of your campaign.
