PPC Campaigns - After Your Keywords

By Brian Basch

You have successfully completed all the necessary market research. Your keywords are all decided upon. You must have also done the necessary calculations and have an idea of the amount you need to spend in order for your ad to be present on the top search results page and you feel you are set for the next six months if not more.

But wait. Don't count your chickens just yet. You may still need to put in some more effort to ensure success! So, what next?

The next plan of action:

This is where you get down to the "nitty gritty." You will need to keep your eye on each of your campaigns. Only then will you be able to judge your ad's performance.

There are a number of methods to keep an eye on your campaigns. However we will address just one here. Google Adwords provides you with effective tools to track visitors and see how well keywords are performing. Web logs are another great source to let you know which ads are drawing visitors and making sales.

It is vital for the success of your ad that it is pulling well, because if it is not you will lose a lot of money. If your ad is not doing well it may be bringing in traffic with no sales. This in turn will cost you as you will be paying for clicks regardless of whether you receive any sales. With this in mind you should take extra care in your selection of keywords, so that you can make the maximum profit.

How to deal with a poor performing ad?

If you have done your preparations for your campaign correctly you should see your ad in a good position. However if you are not seeing sales the ad is not performing well. To reverse this situation you will need to examine the actual cause of the problem.

Keywords play an important role in your ad. They act as the base of your entire campaign; hence, it is very important for you to find the perfect keywords for your ad. Ineffective keywords can spell doom for your product and business.

Very often it is just a case of a poor keyword that is making our ad under perform.

Is your keyword a very popular one? People by instinct tend to choose keywords that are general and popular. This is a way to ensure many visitors to your site, but keeping a popular keyword can have negative effects on the product.

How can a popular keyword hurt your sales?

Although you will get a lot of traffic from these popular keywords, they are not especially targeted to your product or service. Searchers are just using these words to get general information and will not necessarily buy.

Selecting effective keywords:

* Look for less popular keywords that have enough searches to attract visitors.

* Should be specific about your product; this way only your target market will visit your site.

Remember to check on your ads regularly. This will help to ensure the best performance of your ad. Now make your product the hottest thing on the Internet.
