It happens every time, Goggle sneezes and internet marketing catches a cold. The last sneeze was in December of 2005 and by mid last year the internet was reeling with flu. That December, the official Adword blog warned of an update in its algorithm that was going to affect PPCs landing pages. Adword is the Pay Per Click (PPC) arm of Google. PPC on the other hand is the bidding system of advertising used by the major search engines to sell adverting space. The price is set by competitive bidding and the advertiser only pays if a visitor clicks the advert and visits their website hence the name. The page to which the ad directs you in the advertiser’s website is what is called the landing page.

The blog post titled “New Addition To Quality Score” detailed the latest addition to the algorithm that implemented the new landing page quality score. Though quality score was nothing new in Adword, it previously only affected the quality of advertisement. For example if one wrote an advert about “atkins diet” and bid for a keyword like “plus size lingerie”, the quality score was considered high as long as the advert was getting clicked on. A high quality score always inclines you to paying less for a bid as Google finds you more relevant. With the update, it was expected that your keywords, your advert and your landing page be consistent.

This then would mean that in the case mentioned above, the quality score would drop as the landing page was considered not well related to the keyword. Indeed this was a real life scenario where adverts on weight loss were converting sales on the keyword “plus-size lingerie”. With the update, prices for weight loss ads to this keyword were jacked up as high as ten times making the keyword instantly unprofitable. Google had sneezed and the domino effect christened “Google Slap” was here. The resulting effect nearly six moths after it implementation caused such an out cry especially among those that pre-dominantly buy their web visitors. One such victim was a business model popularized by Chris Carpenter known as “Google Cash”.

Google Cash is a business model that entirely depends on PPCs. It is probably the fastest and may be the easiest way to make money online. All one need is to join a commission paying affiliate program, a credit card and an adword account. With these three you could be making money in less than an hour. Its success or failure depends on how well one can mange their keywords and bidding. But with the landing page quality score it looked for while like “Google Cash” was coming to an end. However nearly a year since the “Slap”, Google Cash is making a come back, albeit sophisticated. Starting next week we look at how to make money using PPCs as well as the Google Cash method.

There are some very important things to consider for someone that has decided to try a pay per click campaign. Pay per click campaigns are expensive to run and if you are not careful you can lose your entire marketing investment without much of a return.

Any pay per click campaign needs to be considered an investment because you spend your funds on such a campaign in the hope of generating new sales. And if you fail your investment can be wiped out. A successful campaign takes careful preparation. Here are 7 things you need to consider for your campaign.

1. You need to know your product. There are many products out there for you to sell. But to sell a product successfully you should know it well. Your sales page needs to reflect that knowledge. Your goal is to build trust with potential customers. If you don’t know your product well then how can you be convincing enough to sell that product to others?

2. Set a budget for your pay per click campaign. A budget is important to your campaign. Just like any other marketing efforts you may conduct it is important to be able to measure success. Many pay per click campaigns fail but by sticking to your budget you have the opportunity to cut your losses if necessary instead of continuing to throw good money after bad.

3. Make sure you have a professional looking website or sales page. Many people fail in this area. The money you spend on your campaign is meant to entice someone to click a link that will take them to your website. Once they have done that then it is up to you. They will often stay or go based on how well a website is designed. If it is easy to navigate and gets to the point quickly visitors are more likely to stay. But if the design is poor and the website loads slowly then they probably won’t stick around.

4. Your ad is everything. If you are trying to attract visitors to a sales page then that page needs to have a clean design. Your job is to persuade your visitors to either purchase a product or sign up for something. But you can either win them over immediately or lose them forever. A poor website will lose them. And make sure your ad copy does the same thing. That little bit of text that is attached to your keywords can go a long way.

5. A successful pay per click campaign needs the right keywords. To start you should find about twenty or so keywords that you can test the effectiveness of. If possible check out what keywords other websites are using. Also consider niche keywords. And make sure you develop some key phrases. Many campaigns actually do better by focusing on niche areas for keyword bidding. This is because the pay per click cost is lower than it is for primary keywords.

6. Know how to bid for the keywords you need. Bidding high can drain your cash before you really have a chance to get started. Of course bidding too low won’t help you either. Bidding on keywords is a balancing act and you need to actively manage your campaign to maintain the proper balance.

7. Pay attention to the bottom line. Not all pay per click campaigns make money. And some don’t make enough to justify the effort. You need to know when to cut your losses. On the flip side you also need to know when it is prudent to invest more money into an already successful campaign. Because you want to build upon your success.

Running a successful pay per click campaign is not easy but it does offer many people and companies the best chance to succeed online. For companies that are serious about growing their online presence pay per click is a very necessary part of the marketing process. You can do it but you need to be properly prepared.

Pay per click promotions aren’t as simple as selecting a few keywords and sitting back and letting things happen. Often keywords and phrases require chronic adjustment, especially when using some of the more popular phrases. You have to be able to watch and study the trends and the performance any individual keyword or phrase gives you and find more competitive keywords and phrases along the way. You also need to go long, creating as many different keyword combinations as possible while using as many different search engines as possible. Not all user only use Google. Google is very popular, but Ask, Dogpile, and MSN are filled with users that are looking for a good match.

There are tools available to help you manage your bids. There are tools available online as a downloadable version as well as software that you can purchase in most computer stores. These tools can help you collect the appropriate information which can help you determine what keywords on which search engines are being most effective, which ones are directly linked to your sales and successes, and the ratio between the cost of the clicks and your profit margin. Using a monthly subscription plan and downloadable software gives you instant access but software saves you money in the long right if you can find it at a good price.

Using such tools allows you to find and interpret data that you simply don’t have the time for off hand. However, you have to use them effectively in order to get accurate results and save you valuable time and money that guesstimating can cost you. When you list hundreds of keyword phrases on multiple search engines, you need help managing your information. The software and subscription services also allows you to track how high some of your competitors are going with the same or similar keywords when they are placing their bids.

Part of effectively managing your pay per click accounts is also managing your time and money well. It is more effective to use the software to print out a report that can show you in black and white what is working for you and what need improvement. With such information readily at hand, you can easily make daily adjustments and bring your sales and participation level up. Way up.

Pay per click advertising is one of the most effective forms of website promotion out there today. If you want to get ahead, you need pay per click. However, without tracking your keywords, their impact on your profits, and their effectiveness you really aren’t getting much more than a guided tour through the web.

In the mean time, Good Luck on your journey to success.

Many AdWords users are killing their quality score and they don’t even know it. The quality score, among other things, is used by Google to determine ad placement and cost. There are quite a few advertisers who are absolutely killing their score and they don’t even realize it.

The formula that Google uses to determine quality score may take many factors into account but there are two things that will kill your score in a heartbeat. A lower quality score means that you are going to pay more for your AdWords placement.

1.) Landing Page

In the eyes of Google the landing page must be true to the letter of your ad. If you promise a free report or e-book, then your landing page must have an open link to the download. No squeezing allowed.

Honestly, Google and AdWords are not against the use of squeeze pages; however they are against advertising something for free and then requiring your visitor to exchange their name and email address for your product. As Google sees it, free means free, not in exchange for something.

The best way to get around this is to NEVER use the word “free” in you AdWords copy if there is not an open download link on the landing page. If you insist on doing this, Google will penalize you.

A few words of advice on landing pages.

Keep your landing page relevant to your AdWords copy. Google loves sites that have relevant, high quality copy. Sites that are not relevant to their ad copy are considered low quality and while Google will not ban them they will raise their costs so high that using AdWords is no longer economically feasible.

Avoid redirects on your landing page. The the use of sneaky redirects seems to be a part of the underside of the internet marketing business and is a “black hat” technique we all pay for. Google hates redirects used on landing pages and in the future these pages my not be indexed or may even be de-indexed.

Do not use hidden text or links. If Google observes your site to have hidden text or links and deems them deceptive in nature, you may find that your site has been removed from the Google Index.

2.) Floating Layer and Hover Ads

Google and AdWords hate these things. Simply put, these types of ads will destroy your quality score. Get them off your landing page as soon as possible. Replace these ads with a static opt-in form built into your landing page.

3.) Pop Up or Pop Under Ads

Google sees these types of ads as a hindrance to navigation on a site and will ban your landing page from AdWords if you use them. They will only re-activate your AdWords ads when you have removed any type of pop up or pop under ads.

If you are using any of the points outlined here on your site then you are only hurting yourself. Clean up your site and you will find that your ad position may climb while you costs may drop!

There are many internet marketers that would have you believe that AdWords and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising are something to be avoided at all costs. Just visit the Warrior Forum or some of the other internet marketing message boards and you will find this kind of pay-per-click logic. Why would this kind of logic be so rampant?

A great man once said, “The only thing to fear is fear itself,” and though the quote was not about AdWords or even internet marketing, it holds true. Mankind in general has always been known to fear the things they do not understand and I believe that this is why there is so much anti-PPC sentiment.

Many very intelligent people in the internet marketing business are in the anti-PPC crowd. This boggles my mind. If you are doing well with article marketing, joint ventures, and other free techniques then why would you want to limit yourself by avoiding AdWords? Using PPC can do nothing more than open up a bigger market and if used properly can generate a great amount of income. Free traffic generation is a great way to bring traffic to your site and should be part of any marketing strategy just as AdWords or PPC should. Use every tool at your disposal to grow your business.

Most of us start our online marketing career with little or no real cash and the thought of paying for advertising can be a scary thing in that situation. Honestly, though, if you take the time to learn how AdWords works you will find that there are many options available to control ad cost.

Learn how the Google AdWords ranking system works. Unlike other PPC systems, AdWords takes more into account when determining ad placement than simply the maximum bid price. The other things that are used in determining ad placement and cost are relevancy, click through rate, and the quality score.

With a thorough understanding of the AdWords system it is quite possible that your ad will attain a higher ranking than a competitor’s ad, even though they have a higher maximum bid price.

When conducting your PPC campaign with AdWords, use your keywords effectively. Test your ads using broad match, phrase match, and exact match keywords. This will allow you to laser-target traffic. Using keywords correctly is one of the big keys in controlling ad costs.

Use keyword macros to build your click through rate quickly and easily. Keyword macros will set your ads apart from the competition. When a user conducts a search the macro will use the search string as the headline for your ad, capitalize the first letter of each word, and place the headline in bold type. Keyword macros get much more attention than static ads and we know that more attention means more clicks.

If you take the time to learn as much as possible about the Google AdWords system you will have a huge advantage over the competition, understand how to control your ad costs, and enjoy a larger market as well.

Google AdWords is one of the most powerful marketing tools that you will ever use. Every good internet marketing professional devotes the majority of their time to increasing the size and quality of their list. AdWords is one of the best methods to use to build your list quickly.

In many pay-per-click systems the only determining factor in ad placement is the maximum bid price. In those systems, if you are willing to pay more than a competitor then your ad will be placed above theirs. Google AdWords does not work that way and places your ad based on performance.

One of the criteria used by AdWords to determine the placement and cost of advertisements is the historical Click Through Rate (CTR). CTR is determined by how often your ads are clicked in relation to how often they are shown. Ads with a higher CTR get higher placement and a lower ad cost.

AdWords keeps a historical record of your individual keywords, phrases, and groups beginning the first time that you begin using the system. This can be a challenge for new internet marketers.

When you open your Google AdWords account you will have an absolute ZERO historical click through rate. The competition that has been using AdWords is leaps and bounds ahead of you and will be getting prime ad placement while you are at the bottom of the totem pole. Most people only look through the first page or 2 of a search and if your ad is on page 3 they will not see it. This might seem like a “lose-lose” situation, but don’t worry, we are going to show you how to turn that around.

Keyword Macros

Keyword macros are a feature of Google AdWords that allow you to create dynamic ad copy. This feature allows your ad to display the user’s exact search phrase as your ad headline.

To use the Keyword Macro feature all that is needed is a little syntax:

{KeyWord:alternate headline}

Using this syntax in your AdWords campaign will display the user’s search as your headline. Google AdWords allows only 25 characters as a headline however and if the search exceeds this limit your alternate headline will be displayed.

If you notice in the syntax above the K and W are in capital letters. Doing this will cause the user’s search to not only become your headline but the first letter of each word will be capitalized. This will make your ad stand out from those who do not use this macro.

Finally, using this macro will cause your headline to be shown in bold type, yet another way to make your ad stand out from the rest.

How does all of this help build a historical CTR? Using keyword macros will result in much higher click through rates than standard headlines. This is the fastest way to build historical CTR. If you keep your CTR high your ad will enjoy better placement and you will enjoy lower ad costs.

Unlike most of to web marketing tools I’ve discussed in my previous articles, pay per click is not for free. And since you have to actually spend on this type of campaign, you have to have a plan on how to use it to your advantage and gain you more profits than what you are spending.

As I’ve mentioned before, there are various kinds of tools which you can employ for the ultimate success of your business. Each of the tools must be studied thoroughly and sampled to recognize which one is beneficial for your business and how to appropriately execute the corresponding tools.

When starting out in web marketing or with any business for that matter, you have to take advantage of the opportunities and tools which you can use without having to spend big bucks in building a name for your business. It is better to initially use the marketing tools that are available to you for free such as blogging, article submissions, video marketing, forum participation, and some other tools.

At this point, you can start creating micro sites and landing pages in preparation to your pay per click campaigns, e-mail marketing and several other fee-based tools and software. In this manner, you can build a reputation within your niche market and at the same time study your target audience- what they need, what they want, what they are looking for, and what else you can introduce to them that would benefit them and yourself.

In article marketing, video marketing, and even blogging, keyword use is essential in order for your site to become more visible to search engines and rank high in the result pages. These same keywords are to be used in bidding for your ad placement.

On the other hand, the content of your articles, videos, blogs, as well as the statements that you contribute in the forums will help you build a good reputation as an expert in your niche. Moreover, you can use the articles, press releases, editorials, and product pages in your micro sites as your landing pages.

And since you already know what keywords really work, then you are confident that your PPC ads will be visible to the larger portion of your target market. Yet, if you still want to make sure that you can get the best out of your PPC campaign, you can actually use several pay per click ads using various PPC service providers. Then you can test these ads against each other and find out which one is most effective for your business. Once you have determined which ones, then you can retain them.

Also, since you actually pay every time a visitor clicks to your ad, you are likely to pay for the ads that do not actually convert into sales. Moreover, some of your competitors may possess the habit of clicking on the ads of their competitors. Thus, make sure that the service providers you use have automated systems that can keep you from being charged for these fraudulent clicks.

AdWords, when used properly, will not only grow your business and list exponentially but it is very cost effective as well. There are many people who have tried using a pay-per-click program such as Google AdWords but have failed. Why did they fail?

One of the main reasons that internet marketers fail with their AdWords campaigns is because they are lazy. Honest, but true. AdWords is not a guided missile to riches that you can simply fire and forget. Like all things in life that provide a great reward, a successful AdWords campaign is something that you have to work at.

1.) Understand the Nature of the Beast

The most important thing in a successful AdWords campaign is developing an understanding of the system. It may not be rocket science but it is pretty darned close. Before you begin, head over to the AdWords site and read the FAQ. Then hit the Google search engine and visit some message boards dedicated to AdWords. If need be, pick up a guide and read it as well. The more that you know about the system and how it works, the more you will be able to take advantage of it.

Take the opinions of others into consideration but do not let them guide you. On some of the internet marketing forums you will find that many people are against AdWords and other pay-per-click systems. Many times this is because they jumped in with both feet before they understood the system and therefore they failed. You are not going to fail because you are going to take the time to do your research BEFORE starting your first campaign.

2.) Set Spending Limits

AdWords gives you the ability to set daily spending limits for keywords. Use this feature to control the cost of your ads. If you only want to spend $75 per day on advertising, set that as your limit and the system will stop serving your ads when your limit has been reached.

3.) Create Relevant Ad Copy

When creating an ad the goal is to achieve top placement at the lowest cost. One way to accomplish this goal is to include your keyword in both the headline and body of your ad. This increases the relevancy of your ad and thereby lowers the cost.

4.) Use Different Types of Keywords

How often your ad is displayed and how it is triggered is really up to you. There are 3 main keyword types that you can use.

Broad Match – example: fine dining – This phrase is entered without quotations or brackets. You ad would be triggered anytime a user enters a search string that included the words “fine” and “dining” regardless of order or placement.

Phrase Match – example “fine dining” – Enter this type of phrase with quotation marks surrounding it. Your ad will be triggered by searches that contain the words “fine dining” in that order.

Exact Match – example: [fine dining] – This type of keyword is entered with brackets. To trigger your ad a user would have to conduct a search that exactly matches the keyword phrase.

Use of keywords and match types can help your keep your costs within reason and lead to a successful AdWords campaign.

The 4 topics discussed here are but a few of the many strategies that you need to learn and understand to be truly successful in the AdWords game. Get as much information as you possibly can and use it to explode your business.

Are you considering whether to run a pay per click marketing campaign for you company? Maybe though you are not quit sure what you might be getting into. Then it is in your best interests to know both the pros and cons that come with such a campaign.

With any type of business idea a person likes to look at the benefits first because they want to see the positive side. So that is the place to start. What exactly are the pros of running a pay per click campaign for your business and product.

1. Anyone can do it. Pay per click marketing can be used by anyone. You do not necessarily need deep pockets to get started. Yes you need some start up funds. But you get to set your own budget. Whether it is a $100 or $500 or $5000 you get to determine the amount of money you want to spend. You have the control instead of someone else. Pay per click marketing is available to everyone. And you do not need to be a genius to get started.

2. The results of a pay per click campaign can usually be seen immediately. It does not take weeks or months to know whether your campaign has been successful. You are able to track the results of your campaign as it is happening. This gives you the ability to make quick decisions about your campaign as well. If your campaign is going well you can increase your budget and if not you can cut back. You’ll know how to react when it matters instead of after it is too late.

3. Your website doesn’t need to follow all the SEO rules. Organic search engine results rely on websites being well optimized. But with a pay per click campaign you are buying placement at the top of the search engine results page. You get to automatically go to the head of the class.

4. You can bid on any keyword or phrase that you want. Most businesses and products have all sorts of keywords related to it. And you can have a piece of as many as you would like for a price. All you need to do is keep your bidding competitive.

So now that you know what some of the pros are it is important to know a few of the cons as well.

1. Pay per click fraud. Not every visitor received is a legitimate prospect. Some clicks may come from competitors that are looking to cost you money. It does happen at times. So it is important that you take the time to analyze your click traffic periodically. That way you might spot illegitimate clicks. If this does happen and you can prove it you can often get your money back.

2. Effective pay per click advertising can be expensive over the long run. And you have to spend the time tracking your campaign so that your costs do not get out of hand. You can easily lose thousands if you think you are going to set up a campaign that will run itself.

3. You have to pay the bill each month. If you don’t your campaign can get cut off. Once again this emphasizes the point of active management being needed. Having the time and resources set aside before you begin is important to a successful campaign.

Pay per click marketing has been the single biggest breakthrough in advertising since the invention of the TV. The dollars being spent on this form of advertising are only getting bigger each year. If you need to reach a large audience and the internet has the single largest audience you are ever going to find then pay per click marketing might be right for you.

Google AdWords is a fire breathing-dragon that cannot be tamed! Well, at least that is what many internet marketing professionals think. Today we are going to teach you how to slap a muzzle on that puppy and make it heel.

Most people who start out in the internet marketing business begin on a shoestring budget and fear pay-per-click advertising programs like Google AdWords. They are afraid that they will spend too much money on advertising with little or no return on their investment. This is a legitimate fear and we have all felt it but some of the best traffic that you will ever get will come from an AdWords campaign. All you have to do is understand the program and how to make it work for you.

The first thing that you need to understand is how the Google AdWords ranking system works.

There are a number of factors taken into consideration when Google determines the ranking for an advertisement.

1.) Maximum Bid Price

This is the thing that scares many people when it comes to running an AdWords campaign. In most pay-per-click programs this bid is the deciding factor when determining the placement of your ad. In those programs the highest bid gets the highest spot. Not so with Google AdWords. There are other factors taken into consideration in determining placement.

2.) Relevancy

Weight is given to relevancy by AdWords. If one ad is more relevant to the search input it may appear in a higher position.

3.) Click Through Rate (CTR)

Google AdWords records the CTR for your keywords, groups, and phrases from the day you begin using the system. The historical CTR of your campaign can affect both ad placement and cost. A high CTR can result in higher ad placement and at a lower cost.

This is the biggest challenge for new users. When you first begin using AdWords you will have a historical CTR of ZERO. This presents a problem but there are ways to improve your CTR score such as using keyword macros and other techniques.

4.) Quality Score

This is very important for all internet marketers. There are a number of factors taken into account when determining your quality score. These are click through rate, relevance of ad text, historical keyword performance, and the landing page.

Yes, your landing page can have an impact on your quality score. Google says “Your landing page must be true to what your ad copy promises.” If you ad copy promises a free report then your landing page must have an open download link. In the eyes of Google free means just that …free, not in exchange for a name and email address. Avoid using the word “free” in your ad copy if you are sending visitors to a squeeze page that requires that they submit their name and email address.

Google AdWords is not the mythical fire-breathing beast that it appears to be once you understand how it works. Understanding the AdWords ranking system is the just the first step in turning the dragon into a house pet.

There are two key ways to drive traffic to your website. One way to increase traffic to your website is to increase you page ranking in the major search engine sites. The other way to get traffic to you site is to increase the number of links to other sites on the web.

There are numerous things that can be done to optimize your sites page ranking, but if you are just starting to build your online presence there are also a few initial things that you simply must do.

o Use keywords. These are specific words that people would most often use if looking for the types of products or services you are promoting

o Incorporate the keywords into your titles. This increases your keyword quota on the page and improves the likelihood it will be found by a search engine

o Use keywords as link. If you are linking pages in your site, attach the links to keywords, rather than linking to the phrase click here.

o Keep content direct on each page. If you have a clear key idea on each page then you will be able to enrich your keyword concentration and improve its appeal to a search engine

Once you have done this you are increasing the likelihood that the search engine will find your site and identify it correctly. This then means you will gain a higher page ranking when someone does a search, and in turn increase the traffic to your site.

The second way to drive traffic to your site quickly and effectively is by linking to other web pages that hold related content. In fact linking to other sites is one of the measures that the large search engines use to rank your website. If you are new to online marketing however the dilemma is how to start initiating these links.

There are basically two options to get links to your site, the first option is to pay for links. This is just what it sounds like, you pay someone a fee and they link your site to other pages. This can be done in a number of ways. One option is to use a pay per click, where you pay a fee for each time that someone clicks on a keyword that you have selected to be linked with your site. This is quite effective and can bring about 50 percent of your traffic if applied correctly.

Another option for getting your website linked into other sites is to simply advertise. You could choose to place a text advertisement or even a banner on other websites that have related content on their pages. By placing just such an ad on related sites you are targeting an audience that is already looking at sites with similar search criteria and keywords to those you are trying to promote.

The next option is to email potential clients. This form of marketing has been around a long time and can be effective. The major things that you should be aware of are whether the company has been involved in spam mails or if there database of emails is legitimate. There are a number of companies available to do this kind of promotion on you behalf and they can even write the email to be sent for you as well.

Finally you can look at having your site linked through a directory. This is where the paid and natural traffic options overlap. There are both paid and unpaid directories where you can post your sites URL and from there the links that will hopefully draw you to a higher page ranking and more site traffic will start to come your way.

If you are looking to have an unpaid source of links this can be a little more difficult. The options in this case are to link to as many sites as possible through unpaid means. This can include common internet open forums, blogs, article posts and even simply exchanges of links with other organisations that have connections to your area of expertise. Linking through these kinds of methods is known as natural or organic linking.

Natural linking can also be done via social networking and other forums where there is a high number of like minded people that are likely to look for links using the keywords that are found in your page.

Ultimately, to achieve your goal of driving more traffic to your site it is going to be important that you understand how the process works. Once you have your keyword enhanced content and you have understood the principles here on paid and unpaid traffic it is time to start sorting out the options that are right for you. There is the old saying dont be backwards about coming forwards; when it comes to establishing your web site and linking it to other sites to drive traffic to your pages then it is worth keeping this saying in mind. Links take time and effort to establish and you need to be putting yourself out there. Once you do however, the benefits of increase traffic flow will be well worth the effort!

No one in their right mind would try to sell ice cream to the Eskimos in Alaska. They wouldn’t would they?

However everyday many Adwords advertisers are doing just that and most of them have no idea that they are doing it. They are advertising their products in countries and regions that are simply not giving them a decent return on their advertising investment (if in fact ANY return on investment!).

My example of ice cream to Eskimos might sound extreme to you but the principle is sound. Even if there is no good reason why a product would not sell in a certain location, it’s can still be a fact that your product in particular just does do very well in that location. There can be many reasons for this. Maybe a dominant local provider? Whatever the reason, if you struggle in one location it might be better to give up and concentrate your effort and budgets in locations where you are selling.

So how do you find out which locations are responding well to your advertising and which are not?

As always, Google have a report in its Adwords Report Center that tells you exactly this. It’s a fairly recent new addition to their list of extremely useful reports.

This new report is called the Geographic Performance report and you can find it in the menu with all the other standard reports.

With the report you can get a great understanding of the impact of your campaigns and AdGroups across all the geographic locations you are advertising.

You can find out about impressions, clicks conversions and all the usual statistics such as average cost of click, conversion rates, etc.

This information is just another invaluable tool to allow you to target your campaigns more closely to the successful markets and get more return on your Adwords spend.

If I had one complaint about the report at the moment, it is that it will only deliver the results on a day by day basis over the time that you select for the report. I would prefer to get a summary Region and Country/Territory. Still there is the export to Excel option and this will allow you to create your own summary totals.

If you have never been into your Adwords Report Center then shame on you! Some of the reports can provide information that makes the difference between making a loss or a profit. You can even set the reports up so that they email you the results on a regular basis, so there’s no excuse for not getting the information regularly.

When starting a Google adwords campaign for the first time you are guaranteed of two things. Those two things are that you will loose money and become totally frustrated until you learn how to utilise the adwords system properly.

The most common complaints I hear from consumers attempting to run a successful adwords campaign are:
1. Why am I loosing so much money?
2. Why is it so complicated?
3. How come all the other companies in my niche are on the front page?
4. I don’t understand it, can you help me?

I hear these complaints all the time and almost on a daily basis. I believe you deserve some real answers.

Running a successful Google adwords campaign is no different to any other speciality service, or trade. Once you learn how the system runs and you understand what to do you can become very good at it, attract many more customers and make a lot of money.

Here are the 7 golden rules of running a successful Google adwords campaign:
1. Be sure to keep everything relevant. If the product or service you are going to promote is to help train puppies then one of your key words should be Puppy training.
2. You will use the key words in your heading, in your description and in your url of your ad.
3. You will open the account using just the one key word pointing to that ad. Do not use more than one key word per ad in the key word section. The keyword must match the heading, description and the url. Sometimes you may not be able to match the key word with the url so don’t be over concerned with that.
4. You will bid high enough and accordingly to get a front page listing as indicated by the Google adwords estimator.
5. Once you have set up your first ad you are going to go back in there and set up a second ad for the same key word so you can split test and see which one is the most affective ad. The only thing you will change will be the heading. It will be only one word in the heading. Now we have two identical ads except for one word in the heading, but one will out perform the other. I’ve never seen two ads have the exact same results so soon we will have some results to measure. You will do the same with every key word.
6. Within 100 clicks on your ads you will now see which one is working and out performing the other. The one with the least amount of clicks is the one you will pause. Now you will start another ad to do exactly as you just did. Your goal is to always out do the best performing ad. This will give you a much better click through rate and a better quality score meaning you will pay less for your clicks and get higher ad positions on the front page of Google. So you can pay less yet rank higher than most of your competition.
7. Keep a close eye on your campaign every day for the first seven days, checking and testing. This technique is precisely how the top guns (so to speak) make the big dollars with Google adwords, well it is a big part of the techniques.

Once you’re comfortable using your adwords you will start driving much better quality traffic toy your website. When you master the art of sending targeted traffic to your website you will also find the bank balance growing quickly. Imagine having a consistent flow of more and more new customers coming to your website and buying from you. This is exactly what you will get when you learn how to maximise your Google adwords.

Personally I recommend you take notes on your work so you remember exactly what actions you’ve taken. Once you have your ads running smoothly you will not have to go into the campaign every day. After the first week you only need to enter the campaign once every two days then once every three days by the end of the third week.

Very soon you will have a campaign that that is rock solid and running smooth. Within a month or two you may find yourself somewhat an expert and be able to educate most people on how to run a successful Google adwords campaign.

If you are in business, you should consider using Pay Per Click or PPC advertising to market your business. PPC advertising should be part of your overall marketing plan. You should not just focus on PPC advertising – to market a business effectively, you need to consider both online and offline channels.

PPC advertising is one of the best online advertising channels around. In this article, let me share with you why pay per click advertising is beneficial to businesses:

1. Great exposure. Search engines like Google and Yahoo have millions of visitors every day. And one important benefit of advertising your website on search engines is that you can lure customers away from your competitors. When people search for something online, they tend to limit their explorations to the first few results. Therefore, if you are able to get your ads near the top of the search results page, more people will see your ad and click on it. This will nullify your competitors.

2. 24/7 advertising. If you have enough budgets, you can have your ads running for 24/7. By having 24/7 advertising, anyone searching for your product or service in any time of the day will be able to see your ad and explore your website. This will increase the number of enquiry for your business.

3. Instant exposure. Pay per click advertising allows you to have a top position for your ads right from the beginning. You do not have to wait for months. Once you have your campaign set up, your ad can show up within a few minutes and start getting impressions and clicks.

4. Save money. With PPC advertising, you will only pay when someone clicks on your ads. With other forms of advertising, you will need to pay for the ads regardless of whether the viewers take action.

5. Able to track campaign performance. The best thing about pay per click advertising is that you can track the performance of your campaign. With other forms of offline advertising, it is impossible for you to track the number of people who take action after they have seen your ads. With PPC advertising, you can track the impressions, click-through-rate (CTR), visitor’s value and even sales/enquiry conversions. When you are able to track the performance of your campaign, you can fine tune it to make it more effective.

Unless you have a huge budget, I will recommend you to have your ads appearing between the third and sixth positions of the search engine result page. This allows you to have enough exposure for your ads, as well as to save money by not having to pay high cost per click for the first 2 spots.

PPC is one of the four basic types of Search Engines. Two billion dollars a year is spent on PPC advertising a year and it is expected to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008 according to Forbes magazine. PPC is one of the most cost-effective ways of getting targeted internet traffic.

Let us have a look at what is PPC Search Engines and how does it work.

These engines develope listings and scale their worth based on a bid amount the website owner is willing to pay for each click of a keyword word phrase from that search engine database.

The highest bidder (although not always) for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as number 1 in the PPC Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear on the results pages based on the algorithm determined by the PPC Search Engine.

With PPC how do you make money in your affiliate marketing business?

Most affiliate programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has clickthrough your site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on your costs to get that traffic to your website.

The reason why you should incorporate PPC into your affiliate marketing program is that earnings are easier to make than in any other kind of affiliate program not using PPC as if you have structured your campain correctly you can recieve sales within a very short space of time. This way, you will be making profit based from the conversions once your customer clicks through to the advertiser’s site.

PPC can be very resourceful of your website. With PPC Search Engines incorporated into your affiliate program, you will be able to profit from the visitors who are not interested in your products or services. The same ones who leave your site and never come back.

If you capture the visitors who have found your site and continually give info on what they were originally seeking then they are likely to come back and review what you are offering more closely. Eventually they may even purchase from you.

PPC is not only a source of generating easy profits; it can also help you promote your own site. Most of the programs allow the commissions received to be spent for advertising with them instantly and with no minimum earning requirement. This is one of the more effective ways to exchange your raw visitors for targeted surfers who has more tendencies to purchase your products and services.

There are a lot of affiliates now days accepting a loss on their PPC campaigns in order to recoup there money over time with return sales that may go on for years and years depending on how they brand themselves as the leader in that market that they may be in.

In conclusion it should be remembered that although PPC is a very good way to get targeted web traffic it also should be remembered that it done incorrectly the cost can also be very high. So be careful!

The key (pun intended) to success is to learn everything you can about search engine keyword research. The good news is there isn’t a limit to the amount of keywords you can add to your bid because additional keywords do not add additional cost. This translates into a lot less hassle for you because there is no need to optimize your site to index a particular set of keywords.

Of the popular search engines that offer pay-per-click, one called Overture provides an online tool that will give you the data on how often particular keywords are entered into their search engine. They also offer suggestions for keywords after you enter a description of your site.

In pay-per-click, this written description is crucial. You must understand that the object of your description is not to generally attract visitors, but to be as specific as possible so that only those visitors who are likely to buy your service or product go to your site. You must use expert marketing copy to guarantee that your description is both precise and enticing to attract the most ideal candidates to your site. This description is your most powerful tool to insure that your bid is profitable.

Advertising your services or products on the Internet is both extremely effective and extremely competitive. There are several ways to go about attracting traffic to your website; Pay-Per-Click is one of the options you can choose from, along with developing an SEO, or search engine optimization campaign. Both pay-per-click and SEO are targeted to get your website placed as close to the top ofsearch engine results as possible. One of the differences is that it takes minutes to set up a pay-per-click campaign versus months for a good SEO campaign.

Pay-Per-Click is a simple type of paid advertising that most search engines, including some of the largest ones, now offer. It requires a bid for a “per-click” basis, which translates to your company paying the bid amount every time the search engine directs a visitor to your site. There is the added bonus that when a per-click site sends your website traffic, your site often appears in the results of other prevalent search engines.

As with all marketing campaigns, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you understand the process and monitor your pay-per-click campaign frequently, it can be very effective. One of the greatest advantages is that you never have to tweak your web pages to change your position in search engine results, as you must do in a typical SEO campaign. What you do have to do in a pay-per-click campaign is pay a fee.

Another advantage is the simplicity of the pay-per-click process. You just bid and you’re up and running. It doesn’t demand any specific technical knowledge, though the more you know about search engines and keywords, the easier and more effective the process will be.

The downside is that pay-per-click is essentially a bidding war. A higher bid than yours will lower your position on search engine results. This means that you will have to raise your bid to regain your position – which can obviously become quite expensive, especially if you are bidding on a popular keyword.

In order to determine if pay-per-click is a cost effective form of marketing for your business, you must do some computing to figure out how much each visitor to your site is worth. You can compute this value by dividing the profit you make on your website over a given period of time by the total number of visitors for that same time period. For example, if your site made $5,000 in profits and there were 2,5000 hits, each visitor would be theoretically worth 50 cents. The basic formula is profits divided by visitors.

The figure of 50 cents per visitor is the point at which your business breaks even. The idea, of course, is to show a profit, not to merely cover your costs. Therefore, you are aiming at a figure less than 50 cents per click.

Be aware that the most popular keywords often cost considerably more than 50 cents a click. The only way around this is to bid less for these phrases or you will be paying too much for each individual hit.Obviously, some keywords are much more effective than others are, but they will not cost you anything except time to set-up your account in your pay-per-click bid.

Another essential element of pay-per-click advertising is that you constantly monitor your bid. It is very important that you bear in mind that the results of the top search engines providing pay-per-click advertising, which are Overture and Adwords Select, usually appear on otherpopular search engines. Because of this, the competition for top ranking is intense, and very often you will find that the bidding price balloons too high for pay-per-click to yield a profit.

If this happens, it is advisable to withdraw your bid on that particular keyword and try another one. Remember: when you pay too much per click to make a profit, you are in essence losing the bidding war.

Since losing is not acceptable, you must have a plan in place to closely track the effectiveness of your keyword. It is advisable to monitor your keywords on at least a monthly basis.

Not only is careful monitoring important, but the analysis of visitor behavior can produce invaluable knowledge about consumer motivation, habits, and trends. Expert monitoring and consumer analysis is essential to your overall business needs, and will also insure that your pay-per-click campaign is a success.

The “quality score” of your pay per click landing page affects your cost per click (CPC) and the positioning of your PPC ad. The Squidoo platform is purpose-built to achieve a high quality score for Squidoo lenses. Here are ten top tips to create a quality pay per click landing page on Squidoo.

1. Use the Squidoo lens URL as the display and destination URL

Google now insists that the display and destination URLs point to the same domain. Additionally, Google will not allow the redirection of the destination URL. This means that when using Squidoo lenses as PPC landing pages, the lens URL must act as both the display and destination URL.

2. Incorporate your primary keyword in the Squidoo lens URL

Google AdWords allows a maximum of 35 characters for the display URL. While you can omit the www prefix in the URL, this still means that the Squidoo lens name has to be brief (23 characters). The lens name should incorporate the primary targeted keyword if possible but this is not essential if you follow the other tips in this article.

3. Include your primary keyword in your Squidoo lens description

As the Squidoo lens description is used by Google to index your site, it is important to include your primary keyword in this area. If possible, a variation of your keyword can be included as well. For example, you could use “PPC” and “pay per click” as I have done in this article.

4. Focus content in the Introduction Module

You should make sure that your key message appears “above the fold” when your site is accessed. So it is vital that your call to action (subscribe to a list or purchase a product) is very evident in the Introduction Module. You should also include your primary keyword and a number of long tail variations (but avoid keyword stuffing).

5. Use Technorati tags in the Introduction Module

Technorati tags attract Google’s attention and contribute to your quality score. I have even had my Technorati tags appear on the first page of Google’s results, for a relevant keyword search, with a hyperlink to my lens. It is a good idea to place the Technorati tags at the end of the Introduction Module and to include the important keywords that you will use for your pay per click ad. There are a number of software programs available at no charge that will auto-generate the HTML for you.

6. Include the call-to-action in your first content module

Your first content module (following your Introduction Module) should reinforce your call to action. This can be by way of a banner or a combination of an image and text. The “black box” module is very useful here for highlighting the call to action as you can include an appropriate hyperlink.

7. Lensroll relevant lenses

It is advisable to lensroll other relevant Squidoo lenses to reinforce the relevance of your Squidoo lens to the targeted keyword(s). Lensroll creates a linkage between your lens and the other relevant lenses, adding value to the content of your own lens.

8. Add a “Featured Lenses Module”

This module enables you to create hyperlinks to other lenses. You just need to add the lens name and Squidoo will add the full URL and extract the lens image and description automatically. This is a good way to introduce long tail variations of your keywords. Again, the emphasis is on keyword relevance – introduction of irrelevant links will dilute your quality score.

9. Use your full allocation of Squidoo tags

In the first instance, make sure that your primary tag is the same as your primary keyword for PPC purposes. Many Squidoo Lensmasters overlook the fact that Squidoo extracts the lens description as the default primary keyword. This needs to be changed to line up with your pay per click campaign. You should use the whole 40 tags allocated to you for each Squidoo lens. You need to make sure that the tags line up with the keywords you want to use in your PPC ad, as this reinforces relevance.

10. Include original content modules and RSS feeds

Original content, such as a product or program review, strengthens your Squidoo lensrank and Google ranking and improves your quality score. RSS feeds from relevant blogs provide further regularly updated content and help to keep your lens fresh. Content freshness can be reinforced by regular updating of your lens.

Your Squidoo landing pages are most effective when they are highly consistent with your PPC ads. If your ad is for a particular product at an established price, then both the product and the pricing should be featured in a prominent way on your Squidoo landing page.

Last but not least, make sure your profile on the Squidoo lens reflects the content of your ad. This congruency strengthens your transparency score and, as a result, improves the quality score of your lens.

It is important, as with all PPC campaigns, to test and revise your Squidoo lens in line with revisions in your pay per click ad and PPC keywords. The 10 tips in this article will go a long way towards improving the quality score of your Squidoo PPC landing page.

If you have used Google Adwords to advertise your website before, you will notice that Quality Score plays an important role for the success of your campaign. With better Quality Score, you will pay lesser for each click and therefore be able to get more clicks with the same amount of budget that you have set aside.

To improve the Quality Score of your Adwords campaign is easier said than done. You need to be familiar with how Adwords work and put in the necessary effort to improve your Quality Score.

In this article, let me share with you some tips to improve your Google Adwords Quality Score now:

1. Improve the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) of your ad text. CTR is an important factor when it comes to calculating your Adwords Quality Score. So your number one objective when you run a campaign is to improve your CTR. One effective way to improve CTR is to use split testing. Google Adwords system allows you to create more than 1 ad text for a single ad group. You should always have 2 ads running in a single ad group to split test the effectiveness of the ads. Let both ads run for at least 1 week to see which is the better performing ad. Then delete the loser and create another ad to compete against the winner. By doing this consistently, you will gradually and steadily improve the CTR of your ad groups.

2. Group relevant keywords together. You should not lump all the keywords into a single ad group. “Pay per click advertising” and “PPC” should be in different ad group. This is to improve the relevancy between your keywords and your ad text, making it easier for you to get a better Quality Score.

3. Place keywords in the Headline, Description and Display URL of your ad text. If you have group the right keywords together, this step should be easy. Place the most important keywords in your headline and ad description. And do not forget about the display URL of your ad. The display URL is another great real estate to place keywords so that you can earn some relevancy to improve the Quality Score.

Although Google always change their algorithms to prevent you from beating the Adwords system once and for all, there are always some basic things that you can do to at least get a reputable Quality Score for your campaign. Remember, Google values a lot on relevancy. So whenever you are choosing keywords, creating ad groups and writing ads, always bear relevancy in mind.

Pay Per Click is an advertising system used for the internet. The international web or internet is a global affair where an array of search engines or advertising networks control the internet space where all websites exist.

Lets say you want to advertise something. You develop an advertising campaign based on keywords of your choice. The ads are put on search pages. At any time that someone is searching for your keyword and they click on your particular ad then the advertiser, which is you in this case, has to pay for that click. You as the advertiser are the one who sets your budget. To get the top spots on a search page of a given keyword will cost you more than others are paying. You can always adjust your bid to put you in the position where you want to be. You can pay less but you will not get as much exposure and mor than likely less clicks.

Each keyword as well will cost a different amount. The more popular a keyword and the more income potential, generally speaking the more you are going to be paying for that keyword, especially if you want a position near the top of the search page. You can also search for niche keywords which may not be one that you have to pay an arm and a leg for but which will give you a good return on your investment. There is a whole art to finding keywords that are not too competitive but that still give you good sales potential. You can still get numerous clicks per month but you can stay within your budget. Finding these takes proper research and testing to find what the keywords are and how they perform.

Knowledge, strategy and understanding is what it takes to create a successful Pay Per Click campaign. It should be pretty obvious that the product or service that you offer should be one of value to a potential customer and one they would be apt to buy if they happen to find themselves on your website.

Google Adwords is a place where you can learn all about creating a Pay Per Click Campaign. They have tutorials there and explain how to go about it. It is in their best interest to get you educated as they will make more money from you if you are successful than if you are a flop and give up. Go to the Help area at the top of the Google page and then click on the Adwords Learning Center. This information and guidelines will take you a long way into understanding how the largest and best known search engine operates and how you need to operate in relation to it. Not following their guidelines generally means you will have a hard time making it.

This idea began in the late 1990s. There is virtually no limit to the potential amount of ad revenue that can be generated. If you have a fundamental basic knowledge of how this system works there are in addition a number of sophisticated tools which can be implemented to monitor your campaign, to view from where clicks are emanating from, on which keywords and if the click throughs to your website are ending up in any sales or are they only resulting in money out of your pocket.
Hope that you learn it well as only in this way do you have a good chance in being successful.
