3 Tips For Adwords PPC Management
Adwords PPC Management Tip No. 1 Setting up an account If you live outside of the US, different minimum bid prices hold true given the different currencies involved. Let's take the UK for example - in the UK the minimum bid price is £0.04 whereas the minimum bid price in the US is $0.05. This means the cost of bids in the UK when currency is converted is significantly higher (July 2005), therefore it may be wise for you to setup an Adwords account which uses USD. I say may because you will incur charges for currency conversions with your bank so you must look at your own particular financial situation to be sure. The new So, if you have yet to create an Adwords account - or indeed even if you have an account (you would have to shut it down before reopening another) - sign up at http://www.google.com (not your local Google portal - eg: .co.uk) and specify dollars as your account currency. It Ccould make a significant difference to your PPC management costs. Adwords PPC Management Tip No.2 How to increase your business profitability by hundreds of percent Ok, So you get a mere 4 lines of text to play with in Adwords so every single line counts. Even more than that every single letter counts (even the Capitalisation of letters will make a difference to your click through rates believe it or not). But what's in a name? Your name in your ad is of course your URL. When crafting an ad, most people spend a lot of time concentrating on the headline (well worth doing as it is the most important part arguably) and on the ad text (also a good thing but not as important as you'd think). After the headline, the next thing that prospects eyes are drawn to is... Yes you've guessed it - your name - your URL But what can I do with my URL I hear you say? Just because you have 1 domain name doesn't mean you need to use it. There is nothing in Google's T&C's that prohibits you from using a different display URL to that of your destination URL (although you will have to own the display URL and it must resolve to a pertinent page - i.e. If you're advertising pet food, it must be about pet food and not resolve to another address dealing with a different subject entirely. Hundreds of percent more profitable? We have conducted tests outlined above with some of our clients. Results have ranged from 46% through to 76% more profitable domain names. These results are applicable to your bottom line profitability - remember 76% more traffic will result in a like for like increase in bottom line profits. Your results are equally applicable on and offline, whatever grabs attention online will do likewise in offline print media. We have also seen a 113% improvement on one of our tests (with a small sample) but we stopped the test early because our results were not statistically significant and waiting for a larger sample was a moot point. Pop Quiz - One of my clients Jonathan Stanley has graciously allowed me to show you the results of our tests with him. Consider the following adverts and their display URL's: www.TalkingLeadership.com Which of the above display URL's was the winner and which do you think was the loser and which one do you think was the winner? Well, the results are as follows from worst to last: MyLeadershipCenter.com 9 clicks Who would have thought it? I certainly wouldn't but then that's the point you will never know until you test. My thanks to Jonathan Stanley once again at http://www.TalkingLeadership.com for allowing me the use of this example. And what else can you do with your text?And even if you want to use your existing domain there's plenty you can still do - remember CAPITALISATION? And then there are sub-domains or even appended directory names. All it takes is a little creativity and you'll find your click through rates reaching new heights with your Adwords PPC management. Adwords PPC Management Tip No.3 Keyword Resources It's easy to think you have a great list of 50 or 100 keywords and stop there but you'd be missing out on the thousands of other keywords your competitors may have researched. Brainstorming ResourcesHere are a few keyword brainstorming resources you should try to increase your keyword list: http://www.kwmap.net A little note on thousands of keywords:In theory you have 5,000,000 keywords available to you in your Adwords account. In practice this if used would 'annoy' Google as their servers would grind to a halt. Having thousands of keywords is not a good idea from a testing/tracking or PPC management perspective unless: * You have a large number of people to conduct said tracking/testing * You have the requisite tools to analyse results * You are extraordinarily disciplined (along with all the people you have under your command) in implementing correct tracking URL's Google will cap the numbers of keywords in your account around the 50,000 level - they may allow more if your account history is good. So don't get too hung up on constructing thousands upon thousands of keywords - find the ones that work as quickly as you can and focus on conversion, your time will be well served. Bonus Tip Are you looking for somebody to help you with your Adwords PPC management? Well, perhaps before you decide upon who should help you, type in the following phrase into Google: "bad ppc management" Hmmm, makes you think doesn't it? ** Note: This article is spam friendly and has received a low (safe) rating from Spam Assassin.

How To Use PopUps With Google Adwords One of the common issues that marketers face when using Google Adwords, is that the use of popups on the target page for their ad is not permitted. Many Adwords advertisers just completely remove popups from their web site, which can not only significantly damage the profitability that results from other traffic sources, but, as we shall see, it is also not entirely necessary.

Finding The Cheap Clicks As anyone who uses Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising in their marketing campaign knows, getting your ad copy on the front page of a search results listing is becoming more expensive by the day. It's a new phenomenon known as 'keyword fatigue', and it's down to the overwhelming success of programs like Google's AdWords. As more and more advertisers realise the benefits of this form of traffic generation, so the number of people bidding for the same keywords increases, and the bid prices climb accordingly.

Pay Per Click Advertising - How To Uncover Profit-Pulling Keywords And Make Your Sales Soar Choosing to bid on the right keywords can be key to your pay per click success. By choosing the proper keywords - words that your potential customers would use to search for your product - you can pre-qualify web traffic and skyrocket your conversion rate.

When Adsense Makes No Sense: Knowing When Not To Use The Google Adsense Pay-Per-Click Program Google's AdSense program is a proven money-maker that has enriched the pockets of many website owners. Unlike many pay-per-click systems, the AdSense program has a large pool of advertisements to draw from -- the ads come from Google's AdWords program, which you can think of as the flipside of AdSense -- which almost guarantees that AdSense can find relevant advertisements to display alongside a site's content.

Choosing the Right Keywords for Your Pay Per Click Advertising Campaign Introduction: How To Increase The ROI On Your PPC Campaigns Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising is one of the most cost effective (and just plain effective) ways to get laser-targeted traffic to your website. For just pennies per click you can have your offer placed in front of only those people who are truly interested in what you have to offer. Wheres the Best Place to Put Google Adsense Ads?

Disguise Your ClickBank Affiliate Links Using Status-bar Faking Many surfers are savvy enough to identify ClickBank affiliate links, simply by glancing at their browser's status-bar before clicking.

A proportion of prospects lose interest as soon as they realize that an affiliate relationship exists. They reason (consciously or sub-consciously) that an affiliate with a vested interest is not making a genuine recommendation. So they simply don't click the link.

Many websites request or even pay there visitors to search a specific search engine and click on a result. This just sends advertisers fake leads and causes problems for the advertisers that paid for the keyword listing. Many PPC search engines offer webmasters up to 80% of the bid price. For example, let's say I pay 'Example Search Engine' $1 for the keyword Viagra, they then pay webmasters $.80 per visitor they send that searches and clicks on a bided search term. You can see why PPC can be a problem.
