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. |
