Understanding
Google’s rules and tips and tricks
– Google has lots of unwritten rules for how campaigns should
be
set up and run. These rules have a direct impact on how much
you’ll pay for the advertising. These rules include:
• Keyword grouping
• Quality score
• Ad relevancy
• Click through rate management
• Bid pricing |
| • |
Keyword research
– Most companies have anywhere from 10 to keywords and should
most likely be bidding on 1,000-3,000. The right tools and strategies
can make a big difference in your campaign. |
| • |
Ad testing
– If you’re not split testing, you’re
most likely
getting only 1⁄2 the visitors to your site than you should be. |
| • |
Conversion tracking
– Most business owners don’t know how to track
whether a
dollar spent on advertising generated any sales. Obviously, without
this information, you’re flying blind. |
| • |
Tools –
Having the right tools in the market to help create and manage pay per
click
campaigns is critical. |
| • |
Targeted sales pages
– Sending all your visitors to a generic home page
isn’t
nearly as effective as sending them to a targeted page that tells them
exactly how you can solve their particular problem. |
