AdWords is a Pay Per Click advertising system by Google. When the visitor performs a search at Google.com, With the normal search engine results Google displays the sponsored ads on right side column of the result pages.

Which ads get displayed depends upon the keywords the advertiser has decided in his account at Google's control panel. This clearly means that if an advertiser wants his ad displayed more number of times, he must have a very good and big list of keywords with him. This will increase the probability of his ad getting in front of a large audience.

Creating a large list of keywords is not that difficult though. There are many ways to do this. Let's have a look at a few options available.

1) Google's own keyword suggestion tool..

Google's own External Keywords Suggestion Tool is a great way to create such a list of keywords. This tool is free and the best part is it uses Google's own database of keywords to give a suggestion of keywords. Advertiser must select relevant keywords from this list that describes his/her services.

This tool has a unique feature termed as "Site-Related Keywords". Type the web address of your website into this and see what results you get. You can even generate "synonyms" of various types of keywords using this feature.

This tool can be accessed at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

2) Yahoo Search Marketing (Overture.com) Keywords Suggestion tool.

This is a great keywords suggestion tool and is free too. This tool creates a list of keywords with the use of Yahoo.com's database of keywords. This tool also gives you the number of times a keyword has been searched for the previous month.

This tool can be accessed at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion

3) Use your own imagination..

It is quite obvious that since the above mentioned keyword tools are free, they will attract a lot of your competitors. So to be a little above them you can use your own brain to generate more keywords.

Imagine from the user's point of view. If he had to use your services what keywords he/she is likely to type in the search engines.

Do you know that all it needs is 95 characters to survive on the internet. Online world is not at all different than usual offline world, what we call the real world. Google the busiest search engine on the internet started to sell advertising space on the search engine result pages from March 2002. Instead of talking about this system let's try to answer a few questions.

* How does the system work?

It's very simple to understand. You go to Google.com, do a search and when the search results show up, apart from the normal search results Google also shows the ads of those advertisers who have decided to pay for that particular keyword to Google. The "paying" process in this case is called as a "bid"

* how much are the bids on keywords?

This is very difficult to answers. It is just like real estate rates, they entirely depend upon demand and supply of information for which the keyword is associated to.

But one very important point here is Google AdWords is a Pay Per Click system. This means it costs nothing to just show up your ads on the google search results pages. But if someone clicks on your ad, Google will charge your credit card the bid mount that you have selected.

* What kinds of ads can I write?

These are normal text ads. 25 characters for Title, 35 characters for first description line and 35 characters for the second description line. These total to only 95 characters (including spaces) That's it you get only 95 characters to show your creativity. Below these Google will normally display the website address.

* How much time does it take to show up the ads on the search result pages?

Instantly. The moment you save your ad in the account panel, your ads becomes "active" and depending upon the demand for the keywords you have selected, you start receiving traffic to your website.

* How many keywords can I bid on for a given ad.

It entirely depends upon how much targeted traffic you want to your website. It is quite obvious that more keyword will expose your ad to more search results and thus you can expect more traffic.

The AdWords system has a facility to create ad groups within your account and each ad group can take up to 1000 keywords.

This was just an overview of the Google AdWords system for beginners. I hope it will help you to study in depth more AdWords strategies that can create wonders for your online business.

I've attended a world-famous personal development program called Money & YOU and one of the popular teachings is "The highest form of leverage is...EDUCATION" How much have you invested in educating yourself on personal development and business?

Online advertising has rapidly grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, with Google’s recent $900 million deal to advertise on MySpace an example of it’s huge demand and popularity.


Pay per click (PPC) advertising is the most cost-effective form of advertising so it’s vitally important that all aspects of advertising campaigns are managed to achieve maximum return on investment (ROI). Google AdWords is the most popular method of PPC and is an excellent way of increasing targeted website traffic, providing the advertising costs can be justified by ensuring the clicks turn into sales.


Nobody gets it all right the first time and most of the best advertising campaigns are developed over time. Below are 10 tips to get started and help to get the best performance from your Google AdWords advertising budget.


1) Keyword selection


Good keyword selection is essential to ensure you can attract users who are interested in your products and with the potential to become customers. It can be very easy to get carried away and select the most popular keywords recommended by Google AdWords and the highest in terms of clicks from the estimated traffic tool. But remember traffic is not your main goal, a successful advertising campaign is based on bringing quality traffic with the potential to bring sales to your site at a cost that can achieve a positive ROI. To help keep track of the performance of your ad campaigns it is useful to manage the selected keywords in multiple AdGroups and this will also help you to use ad text specific to each keyword.


2) Where to target your ad's


The best performing campaigns generally target the search network which for AdWords means that your ad will appear on Google and it’s network of partner websites. You also have the option of advertising on Google’s content network which includes all AdSense publishers, clicks from the content network can normally be attained at a lower CPC (cost per click) but this generally doesn’t convert into sales as well as the search network and is more likely to receive fraudulent clicks. The content network is normally a good option if your main objective is increased traffic as opposed to converting sales.


It is also important to define the geographic locations you are targeting to produce sales from. If you are a business which only delivers within the UK there is no need to advertise your website outside of the UK as this would be a waste of a large proportion of your clicks. In some cases it is essential to restrict your ad’s visibility further than country level by setting a city or region to advertise in, for example a taxi company in the Oxfordshire region would only want to advertise to users within areas they pickup from.


For companies targeting worldwide users it can be advantageous to create individual AdGroup’s or campaigns for each country. This way sales can be tracked in order to define which countries are producing sales and which need working on or should be dropped.


3) Reviewing your competitors


Define what makes your company stand out from your competitors and try to find a niche in your market that users will be interested in. If your ad can stand out from the rest it is more likely to be clicked. Another good method to stand out from your customers would be to find out if they display their prices within the ad, if this is the case and your prices are lower it would be a good idea to display them as well to entice the user to click your ad instead.


4) Using effective matching options


Most optimized campaigns would use the exact matching option on all keywords to ensure that they are only bidding for that individual search. This is effective for ensuring you are only bidding on relevant keywords and improve your click through rate (CTR). CTR is a very important factor in deciding the cost per click (CPC) so the higher rate you can achieve, the less you are likely to pay for that keyword.


Using only the exact matching option can have the negative effect of only receiving a low amount of traffic as you are only targeting a specific audience. In addition, to attract a wider range of searches it may be worth adding the phrase and broad match versions of your exact match keywords. As these are less specific they are likely to achieve a lower CTR and conversion rate but will increase the amount of clicks. It is important to use the negative matching option effectively with phrase and broad matches to filter out any unrelated searches.


5) Managing your budget


In order to get the best from your daily budget I would suggest on starting with a low budget to begin with. This way you can ensure you are bidding on the right keywords at a cost-effective price without losing too much money. I would strongly suggest defining a separate value for content network bids as these should be achieved at a lower value than the search network. Once a positive ROI is being achieved you can then think about increasing the daily budget.


6) Choosing your Ad Text


Entice users to your site with a genuine interest in your business by describing what you can offer and why it can benefit them. Whenever possible it is also useful to raise your quality score by including the keywords within the ad title or description and by using action keywords such as register, sign-up or browse so that the user knows what to expect on the next page. A high quality score will help to improve the relevancy of your ad which can result in your ad ranking higher than a competitor with a larger bid. For large accounts a quick trick is to use {KeyWord:Default Text}, this will insert the keyword from your AdGroup into your ad text providing that it is within the character limit, otherwise it will use the default text defined.


7) Selecting your destination URL


The Google AdWords algorithm now reviews the quality of landing pages so it’s more important than ever to ensure your destination URL is relevant to the keyword bid upon. It is also important to make sure that the user is directed to the webpage they expect to see, rather than being taken to the homepage and having to find the right page for themselves.


8) Conversion tracking


In order to monitor the performance of your account it is important to track conversions so that you can review where sales or leads are coming from to help manage the campaigns based upon results. A cost per conversions value will then be displayed within your reports which will help to make key decisions (such as changing bids, dropping keywords or ad variations) easier. If you are running any other, non-AdWords, advertising campaign you can also set-up a cross-channel to track the conversions from these as well, for example Yahoo! Search Marketing. Research has shown that Google users are generally more likely to purchase online and this is normally reflected with a greater conversion rate from AdWords, although there are advantages to advertising using both methods such as exposure to a wider range of websites and lower CPC’s.


9) Using Reports


Once your campaigns are up and running you'll need to monitor it's performance, making the most of the Google AdWords reports to help make decisions based upon results. The reports will help to visually display detailed statistics on your clicks to show where the ad's are performing well and areas which can be improved upon or should be dropped. Examples of improving the accounts performance are by monitoring conversion rates, cost per conversions, CPC's and CTR's of both keywords and ad variations, ensuring the CPC is being achieved at the lowest possible value while still attaining the desired amount of traffic and most importantly making sure the account is cost-effective.


10) Website analysis tracking


Once your campaigns are up and running you will need to monitor how your users view your website. Google Analytics is excellent for it’s AdWords integration, displaying user stats to find out the users location, search engine, search term and the most popular links clicked on your webpage.

Do You Need to Opt for Pay Per Click Marketing?

Pay per click marketing can prove to be beneficial as compared toother banner advertisements. For instance, you will need to wait fora number of weeks before you can buy space in an e-magazine. An equalamount of time is required by the search engine listings to improveand make your presence felt in the web world.

The initial period will be an even more testing time for you, sinceyour account is new. The visitors might give an outstanding responsein the beginning at times, but the bids get canceled within a coupleof days and your ads are eventually disapproved.

The adwords world is quite flexible and younever know when things can turnaround. If the budget is a constraint,you can reduce the number of keywords. Pay per click program is notvirtual but real, as has been experienced by a number of customers to-date.

You save a substantial amount on marketing costs once people startcoming to your website. You can save both time and money on eachclick that your website receives. But one thing that you need toremember above all is that Google adwords is not about who canafford, but about who is more tech savvy and understands the world ofonline traffic and visitor-interests that keep on changing from timeto time.

Google Adwords - The Best Advertising Tool Ever

Google Adwords

Yes you can pay less than the rest and be seen by more people!

When promoting a competitive product, "pay per click" (PPC) advertising has become almost essential. Most affiliates stand to profit using the right keywords during their PPC campaign.

Although PPC traffic is not cost-effective for any an all niches or businesses, it is surely worth giving it a try.

To be successful with PPC is definitely more than just putting up an ad and getting high volumes of traffic to your site. Very important factors are the words of your ad, your landing page and the amount you end up paying.

This article will focus on how to pay less than your competition and how to outrank them at the same time.

Google has a unique system of ranking their ads. Now it's possible to be on the top even if you're paying the least per click.

If you don't know yet, let me tell you how: You have to make sure that your ad has the highest "click-through rate". Yes, it's as simple as that.

Now to increase your ad rankings and decrease your "per-click"costs, you have to do two things.

A. Start with a big bang - At the launch of your campaign you should spend more than your competition.

B. Regularly evaluate your ads to increase your "click-through rate".

============ (A) - Start with a big bang! ============

One of the worst mistakes you can make at the onset of a PPC campaign is to start cheap. The reverse is actually true. You should be committed to spend more than your competition in the beginning.

That's right, start with a big bang. It is of the essence to spend the most on PER CLICK in the beginning. Let me tell you why:

When you do this, Google is forced to put you on top. This gives you the best exposure on Google's front page. Your "click through rate"should be very good in no time.

Once your click-through record looks good you can start decreasing your "cost per click" without losing your rank.

In case you had started with a low "cost per click", your ad will show far down on the page. This hinders much exposure and it could take months to build up a significant "click-trough rate".

Your time is valuable and you should not waste it unnecessary. It is critical to forecast whether your campaign will be successful. Now you can quickly assess if you need to put the brakes on and get back to the drawing board.

============ (B) - Keep on testing! ============

The next method to get to the top and pay the least is to always test your new ads.

Google allows you to run two ads at the same time for the same keywords. They will automatically rotate your ads, one after the other. You need to frequently tweak the ad with the lower "click-through rate".

Change the headlines, body or domain name area until you have an optimal response. You can get a lot of ideas from your competition,but don't copy their phrases.

You will notice that once more your "click-through rates" will increase. Now you can decrease your "cost per click" and still have that top position.

To sum it up: Doing these two things you will become the king ofAdwords, even if you're in a niche with enormous competition.

A last word of advice: Keep monitoring your Adwords spending, your daily limit should be limited to an amount you can afford losing.With Google in a short period you can gain a lot or lose a lot.
