Google Adwords - Are you looking to make money through adwords but just seem to keep on
spending without seeing the rewards? Read on.....
Google Adwords aims to provide the most effective advertising available for businesses of any size.
With Google Adwordscost per click pricing (CPC),
it's easy to control costs, and you only pay when people click on your ad.
There is also cost per impression (CPM) pricing for those who prefer to target
individual content sites and pay by the impression. You can set your daily budget,
starting from 5 cents USD, and you can write your ads, select the keywords of your choice,
define your own target area.and start seeing results.
Google Adwords account is fully customizable for any advertiser, and with no monthly minimum
spending limit or time commitment and only US$5 to set up your account,
Google Adwords is the ideal marketing tool for small to medium businesses. Besides,
Google Adwords ads connect you with new customers at the correct moment when they're looking for your
products or services.
Google Adwords select program has a minimum bid of 5 cents. (I am not sure
if they've changed this amount, but how much lower can you go?)
Overture has a minimum bid of 10 cents. However, for most popular search terms,
you can expect to pay a lot more than 5 cents or 10 cents if you want to occupy one of the
top 3 spots in Overture and Google.
Incidentally, you can get the keyword prices of the 20,000 most popular keyword searches from
The Top Paying Keywords. In addition, their database also has access to hundreds of
high-priced keywordsthat we have brainstormed. By identifying the highest paying keywords
on the Internet, the database allows website owners to dramatically improve earnings
in the Google AdSense program.
You can maximize your revenue potential by displaying Google ads
on your website. Google puts relevant [CPC] cost per click and [CPM]
cost per thousand impressions ads through the same auction, and lets
them compete against one another. The auction takes place instantaneously,
and, when it’s over, Adsense automatically displays the text or image ad(s)
that will generate the maximum revenue for a page -- and the maximum revenue for you.
Although, Google Adwords service has brought success to many businesses by providing them with a
large amount of highly targeted traffic from as little as 2 cents per visitor.
However, there is probably an equal number of webmasters who have paid for Adwords and
seen little benefit or have indeed made substantial losses.
If the latter applies to you, then the following may be of some benefit;
1. Design
First of all, decide how the layout of your ad will appear. Secondly, you should consider
what you want to be included in the title and what keywordsor details you wish to present
to potential visitors to your site. Ensure that your text will encourage only targeted visitors to
your site in order to avoid the expense of wasted clicks. Read through all the Google TOS and
guidelines before placing your ad or else you risk having it disabled which can lead to charges.
A fair proportion of internet surfers are still very experienced and click on Adwords
without even realising what it is. Therefore it is a good tip to list prices in your text,
so that you can put off clicks from those who would have no intention of purchasing
your product or service in the first place.
2. Brainstorm
Before beginning a campaign it is advisable to write down as many keywords and phrases
as you can think of. The most popular terms are likely to have been bid up to a high price,
making all your click throughs expensive. Think about what your prospective customers would
type if they were looking for what you were offering.
When you have thought of as many words as you can, glance over your list and rearrange what
you have into new, useable phrases. Some will be way off target and discarded instantly, amongst
the others choose the one that sounds best and you should have a great sales pitch that won't
break the bank.
3. Optimise
Do not go along with the Google suggested cost per click. This is always far
higher than necessary. Many advertisers do not understand that their click through rate
affects their position to the same degree as how much they pay per click. For example,
if you pay 5 cents per click for the phrase "page rank" and your competition pays 10
cents and achieves a click through rate of 0.5%, then in order to surpass this person in
position you will only need to double your click through rate,
to anything above 1%, whilst still only paying half of what they are Generally speaking,
I would always recommend paying half of the Google suggested figure for your clicks,
the exception being if your business is in a highly competitive field in terms of
Adwords marketing use.
Now that you have your keywordsand pricing in place, you should set your daily budget
relatively low for a short time, allowing you to see how successfully this campaign is running,
with little risk. Leave your campaign to run for a few days, and take good care
to note which keywordsare leading to sales or enquiries.
4. Experiment
You should continually monitor the performance of your keywords and Ad groups and try
to change tiny details from time to time, perhaps one word here and there occasionally.
Changing even one word can have an affect on the success of your campaign, either positively
or negatively. If you find Google disabling your ads because you are failing to obtain enough
clicks then go back to brainstorming and generate another set of keywords and phrases which
may work better for you.
Even if adwords are working supremely well for you, constant monitoring is important.
If other people realise you are generating high profits then it is likely they will
start to tap into your market. Besides, I am sure you will also run into problems. You can find here a
list of the most common problems
