Google Adwords Advertising Advice

By Justin Harrison

Most of the internet marketers have misunderstood that those keywords which are commonly used are the ones which are good for advertisers. Though it is true, but still it is not the main factor in the competition. It is an important job to choose the suitable keywords for an advertiser which would bring in more traffic.

Providing terms that are descriptive can draw a better group of people. Using a phrase like "cook books" instead of just "books" will commonly result in more conversions due to the fact that it will appear to people actually searching for cook books instead of just books. Providing a term like "Italian cook books" can result in even more conversions.

There isn't much benefit to an advertiser if the receive many clicks but below average conversion rates. Viewers who are merely clicking on ads and not purchasing anything are only costing the advertiser money. Drawing more likely candidates requires well targeted keywords. This results in a better conversion rate and better ROI.

Creating keywords requires examining your web site and picking out the words and phrases that describe it. You should also look at other web sites in the same target market. Try to figure out why those sites are good or not and look at how they word their advertisements and content. If they are reaching the target market you should attempt to leverage their terms and phrases where possible.

It can also be helpful if you learn to think as a customer would. Google offers the recommendation to list all the things a customer might type into a search engine while looking for a certain product or service. Consider the possibility that there may be several different spellings for those words. As an example, foods which are low fat could also be called "light" or "lite". Either spelling should be a keyword so that every potential customer is reached.

Keeping track of how effective a campaign is is a critical component. You can use Google's conversion tracking tool along with Google Analytics to see how a campaign is doing. If you see advertisements that are not generating as much traffic as estimated try to make some changes. Then, keep watching the results to see if the change improved things.
