Pay per click advertising can be one of the best ways to
drive traffic to your sites. Since the traffic is targeted
there is also a good chance that it may convert into sales
since the people are looking for what you are offering. The
keywords that you use in your adwords account can have a
big impact on the success of your adwords campaigns.
You need to make sure that you are using only the most
targeted keywords in order to maximize your conversion
rates. The google adwords system rewards accounts that are
focused on creating high quality relevant ads so you need
to focus on that. Create small ad groups that are focused
on specific keywords. Add the keyword in the title if you
can as this will help to improve the click through rates on
your ads.
You can also check the quality score of a keyword in your
adwords account by selecting it from the dropdown menu in
the keywords section of your account. The landing page of
your ads is also important. Make sure that it has enough
content, it is okay to use a squeeze page as long you have
described the product or service you are offering
adequately on the page. Add some relevant keywords onto
your landing pages as naturally as possible as this will
help to improve the quality score of your ads.
Remember that if your account has a good quality score with
Google then you will be charged less for clicks while
ranking higher than the competition. Click through rate is
important and you want it to be as high as possible. Having
super targeted ad groups is one of the best ways to boost
your click through rates.
Tracking the conversion rates of the keywords is very
important because if you find that certain keywords are
converting well then you will want to bid higher on those
since they are making you money. Conversely you will find
other keywords for which you may be paying a lot but it
does not convert well at all so you will want to either
reduce your bids or delete these keywords altogether.
Google adwords offers a conversion tracking feature and all
you need to do is add the code to certain pages of your
site.
If you are an affiliate then you may want to consider
asking your product merchant to install this code if
possible. Many merchants will comply if you approach them
the right way. Remember that the keyword on your ads is
bolded in the search results so this helps to set your ad
apart and attract clicks so make sure that your keyword is
in the ad. Using simple ad headlines is often the best way
to start, sometimes just using the keyword alone works best.
Using a simple headline such as 'Looking for #keyword#' can
work very well since it is giving the visitor exactly what
they want so they are very likely to click on it. The body
of your ads should be benefits driven rather than product
feature driven so make sure you are describing how the
product you have can help the visitor. If you are an
affiliate then you will need to create a landing page
before you send people to the original sales page.
Consider a squeeze page because you will then be able to
market to these same people in the future. A squeeze page
is a simple single page that has the primary purpose of
getting the visitor to fill out an opt in form to receive
more information.
Most of your visitors will not buy the first time they
visit your site so it is important to have a way to get
back in touch with them several times in the future. An
auto responder email newsletter series is a perfect way to
do this so make sure you are also building a list while you
are advertising your products and services on Google
adwords.
Always watch your budget when it comes to advertising with
adwords and do not get carried away and exceed it because
adwords can get very expensive very quickly. Run test
campaigns of around 100 clicks to determine whether or not
you are profitable and make sure you are learning from each
failed campaign by analyzing what could have gone wrong and
how you can improve for the next campaign.
