Pay Per Click : 3 Tips For Adwords PPC Management
Not satisfied with the performance of your AdWords account? Want to make more money by spending less? Google AdWords has made many businesses successful by providing a great deal of highly targeted traffic! Many webmasters and advertisers have much to learn when it comes to using AdWords efficiently, however. In my own pay per click advertising experience, I have learned how to solve many of these setbacks, and put together a list of the 4 steps required to come out on top.
- PPC Ad Design
Decide how the layout of your ad will present itself. Consider what text and keywords you want in the title and body of your PPC ad. Determine what facts or catch phrases will best target and entice a potential customer to click on your advertisement. Follow all rules and regulations detailed Google's editorial guidelines page.
- Brainstorm
To avoid a poor ROI, take the position of your possible customer. If you were searching for the product that you sell, what would you, as a customer, search for? Use mindframe to make a list of search phrases and keywords. Don't be afraid to use Google's keyword tool.
After you squeezed out as many words you can, glance over them and determine what words and phrases can be combined to form a new one. Simply come up with as many words and combinations as possible, once you get started its easy. Review this list and delete any keywords that wouldn't produce targeted traffic.
- Optimize
Never waste your money using Google's suggested cost per click; it is 10 times higher than necessary. Many advertisers do not understand that their click through rate effects their search engine position to the same degree as how much they pay per click. To make this easier to understand, here is an example: if you pay 5 cents per click for the phrase "shopping cart", and your competition pays 10 cents and has a click through rate of .5%, your listing takes priority as long as your click through rate to anything above 1% even though you pay less for the keyword! For keywords that are less targeted, I suggest bidding nearly half of highly targeted keywords, for a rule of thumb.
Now that all your keywords and pricing are in place, set your daily budget below what you plan to spend per day for now. This decreases the risk of a significant investment in case your keywords are not effective. Set up conversion tracking, and monitor your keyword performance over a few days. Watch what keywords perform and convert well, and delete all others.
- Experiment
As you watch the performance of your keywords and Ad groups, continue to try new things. Change one word in your ad and compare the results to previous version. Trust me, one word can and will make a difference! If you are having trouble finding an ad that gets enough clicks, brainstorm again and create as many versions as possible. Pick your favorite three and create a new ad group while comparing the results to your other ad groups.
The key to successful PPC management is running targeted, optimized ads. It is not enough to toss a cookie cutter ad out there and expect customers to beat your doors down. Monitor your Adwords account. Track and modify keywords consistently. AdWords is a very effective PPC program, as long as it is used correctly.
