Google has a new system that makes it possible, for
the first time in the history of the world, to deposit five bucks,
write a couple of ads, and instantly get access to over 100 million
people - in less than 10 minutes. It's called Google AdWords and
it's hot. In fact it may be the first and best thing to do to
get traffic to your site. Google AdWords ads connect you with new
customers at the precise moment when they're looking for your
products or services. But it's not always as easy as I just made it
sound - AdWords has some nuances, and some people have a rough time
at first. Well my colleague Perry Marshall has written a very
helpful e-course called "5
days to success with Google AdWords"...
Using Google AdWords to Drive
Traffic to your Website
Highly targeted traffic is one
of the most important entities in the internet universe. Any website
owner or administrator recognizes the importance of driving traffic
to a website. The success of any website does not rely entirely on
the site itself. You may have a terrific idea for a website, offer
an excellent product or service, or have an exceptionally designed
site with superb content, but if you do not use the right strategies
to advertise, your site would not attract the high traffic you need.
Attracting targeted traffic is a task that should be taken seriously
for any site to succeed or make a profit. Fortunately, there are
internet-marketing tools that help the website marketer to drive
traffic to his website. One of the most significant, and effective,
of these tools is Google's Adwords. Adwords is one of Google's
advertising services.
How does Google Adwords work? Google
is the largest search engine on the web receiving over 200 million
queries each day through its various services. As Google is the most
popular search engine today, webmasters are keen on having their
websites achieve a higher ranking in the search engine results it
provides. A high ranking can mean high traffic for that website. The
search engine results page is also a great venue for advertisers to
promote a product or service through ads and links. Consequently,
Google launched its Adwords service, as a way for businesses to
advertise products and services to a targeted audience. Google
Adwords can guarantee instant traffic. In this service, Google
displays relevant text based ads within its search engine results
page termed as "Sponsored Links". Whenever a particular keyword is
searched on, these relevant links appear in a separate section
giving excellent exposure to the sites listed.
How do you
use Google Adwords? First, you have to open an account with the
Google Adwords Service. Then, you should indicate your target
language and country. This is important because you would not want
your products advertised in countries where your product or service
cannot be sold. Afterwards, you should now create an ad group. This
involves designing the ad, selecting keywords and determining
maximum cost per click that you are willing to spend and defining
bid amounts. The most important step in creating a successful
Adwords campaign is selecting an effective title tag that will catch
the attention of your target audience. The title tag, generally a
short phrase, is the most important part of your Adwords campaign so
make sure that it is attractive and catchy. You should describe the
website clearly and accurately. The most effective advertising
conveys a clear message to the target audience. With a clear
message, you will be attracting qualified leads, which can
eventually convert to sale. Thus, the importance of selecting the
right keywords cannot be overemphasized.
There are keyword
variations you can adapt to reach more prospects. Using these
varieties, misspellings and derivatives can help increase the chance
of your ads being served. Broad match is targeting keywords in a
loosely defined manner. Here, the ads appear based on the keywords
that have been queried by other users as opposed to exact match,
which calls for the keyword to match the query exactly. Meanwhile, a
keyword phrase set to phrase match will only appear when the exact
phrase is searched on. A negative keyword is helpful in filtering
unrelated pages.
After you have decided on what title tag to
use in your ad, you must now define a budget in order to maximize
exposure. Google Adwords recommend a daily budget for each campaign.
However, you should determine a budget that is suitable and
affordable. You should also determine the maximum cost per click.
Google will offer a recommended cost per click, but you do not have
to stick with this. Usually, a number one position is not ideal as
it can also attract unwanted traffic and useless clicks. A number
two position is more preferred as it can filter useless clicks and
provide traffic with a higher conversion rate.
To conclude,
Google Adwords is an excellent strategy and tool in giving your site
maximum exposure. Nevertheless, Google Adwords should not be your
sole advertising campaign. It will definitely help you find the
all-important, highly targeted traffic you need.
