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. |
