If you’re not familiar with using Google Adwords, please check out my getting started article on my site.

Basically, with Google Adwords you can put your ad in front of people as they are searching for information and solutions online.

However, there is a bit of a learning curve to get a good steady campaign and Return On Investment (ROI) with Google Adwords.

The One thing you really have to remember and focus on with Google Adwords is to…

TARGET YOUR AD!

Always use your keywords as often as you can in your Ad: in the title, in the body and even in your domain name.

These words will be highlighted for the web surfer that is viewing their search results, so why not make it easy for them to choose your ad?

TARGET YOUR AD!

Don’t create an Ad Group and throw all your hundreds of keywords in, unless they all show up within your ad text.

Instead take a little more time and create one Ad Group for each keyword or phrase.

This will allow you to maximize the use of your specific keywords.

TARGET YOUR AD!

Recent searches for “work from home”

310780 work from home
12538 work from home job
9384 home work
3399 data entry work from home

Even though there are thousands of people looking to “work from home” your business or opportunity may not include “data entry” positions right? And those “home work” searchers may not be business opportunity seekers at all.

So, use the negative keywords tool (which will exlcude searches with those keywords) religiously.

If you don’t exclude these searchers from your ad impressions your click-through rate (CTR) will suffer, which will affect your ad’s placement and costs.

Also, a very low CTR will slow down the number of times your ad is displayed, until eventually it is disabled until you increase your bid.

So to review:

Target Your Ad by:

1. Using your keywords all over your ad.
2. Creating a separate ad group for each keyword (don’t lump tons of them together)
3. Use the negative keywords to qualify the searchers you are targeting.

Well there you have it: three simple strategies to target your ad’s and maximize your Google Adwords ROI!

You must first have a website before you can apply for a Google Adsense account and start profiting from Google AdSense. You are more likely to be rejected if you use a free domain, so invest in your own domain. And make sure that your website makes sense; that may sound obvious, but if you are running a website that is disorganized with random content scattered all over the place, you will not be viewed as professional and will most likely be rejected.

Once your site has been accepted, Google will give you code to paste on your site, thus enabling them to start placing ads on your site that are relevant to the content of your site. For example, if your website is about creating scrapbooks, Google might place ads on your site dealing with places to purchase scrapbook materials.

Now, what about making money? Google makes money by advertising. So, by placing ads on your site, you are helping them to advertise by providing them with a place to display their ads. Every time a visitor to your site clicks on one of the ads that Google has placed on your site, you receive a certain percent of the money. Its a win/win situation. Google AdSense allows you to view your account and earnings information at any time, and once a month you will receive a check for the amount of money you earned.

Of course, these are just the Google AdSense basics, and more detailed information can be found at www.google.com/adsense.

So, if youre dedicated to the website you operate, why not make an extra profit from it as well? Or, maybe youre looking for a way to make some extra cash on the side and are interested in a subject enough to create a website for it. Either way, consider these Google AdSense basics and check into opening a Google AdSense account of your own.

The name of the game here is keyword targeting; it is very possible for up to 90% of all generated traffic to your site can be a direct result of pay per click methods employed. In theory this is great, but it must keep in mind that bidding still must remain low on cost. The general assumption is that there is only one method of obtaining a pay per click campaign that can be successful this is not the case. It is true that Google Adwords, and Overture are great tools for this campaign, but they are not the only ones. When you use one of these web giants, you can guarantee that you will be seen on the search engine within a good page rank if of course you are willing to pay the price for that spot.

This is where the bidding comes into play; you will need to bid on the keywords that will place you on the top of the list. This can indeed be a rather trying event, as you can be sure that you are not alone in the bidding. It is not unheard of for a larger corporation to bid as much as 100 dollars for a particular keyword to ensure they get high page ranking. After all it is the word that people are using most to search for their information, this will in turn raise the bidding. Often once you have landed that bid, the cost of maintaining it can be steep as well. Sometimes it can run up to 5.00 per click coming out of your pocket. If you are getting many clicks per day however no sales on your site, you will run into a problem as it will cost you money.

You will need to find a keyword that is directly related to your site, and what you have to offer. Tire kickers need not apply in this scenario; you do not want to pay for window shoppers. By calculating the value of a single customer, you can get a pretty good idea on what you can spend on any particular bid. This too will keep you from over spending and falling into financial trouble.

Another greate way to advertise your site is with search engine optimization.

This can easily be optimized with sofware.

Pay-per-click is going to be a tool best suited for e-commerce sites. One of the initial factors you must decide before using pay-per-click is how much you want to pay per click. Depending on what you are advertising you must decide if your profit margin is going to be high enough to justify the cost. Even then this should be used as part of an overall SEO campaign. For the best results all SEO strategies should be looked at and all factors taken into account.

Yahoo!s Overture and Googles Adwords are the two major pay-per-click companies. These two comprise the highest level of pay-per-click. They are responsible for more ad placements than all of the other companies combined. They work with multiple search engines which is why they have so much placement. The next lower level of pay-per-click are a series of smaller companies such as www.enhance.com and www.epilot.com. The advantage to these smaller companies is that although you may not guarantee higher placement on search engines the cost per click will be much lower. Thus a pauper strategy may be more successful. There are a number of small time pay-per-click companies but the trustworthiness of these companies may be suspect so be cautious.

The major drawback to pay-per-click is that not everybody clicks on these ads. With the rising problem with spam even in spite of spam filters many may be leery to click on them for just that reason. Any company using pay-per-click needs to be sure that it has a robust advertising budget. Sticker shock is bad enough on cell phone bills but for a company it could be down right disastrous. As with all other SEO campaigns a thorough evaluation on your immediate and long term needs is vital. Ensure a sturdy foundation before you reach for the sky.

If you arent already using Google Adsense, you should start; its an opportunity you dont want to miss. Signing up isnt hard; you simply fill out the information and click on send. After Google receives your information, they send a confirmation email, to which you must reply before getting started.

Here are a few Google Adsense Tip ideas that can help you.

-Start a blog about something specific, instead of just making random entries. For instance, if you wanted to sell chocolates, you would write all about chocolates. You wouldnt stray over to politics or horses, unless they had a connection. This can also help you to keep your traffic.

-Optimize the words you use. I learned that if you bold certain keywords, the Google ads that relate to them will pop up. This can help you with your click-through rate.

-Make sure your site can be easily navigated. If a clicker cant find his or her way through your site, they probably wont be coming back.

-Learn where you should place your ads for more optimal click-through exposure.

-Always keep your site current; this helps in keeping your customers coming back to see what is new, and this in turn helps your click-through rate.

-Use the most popular keywords. Advertisers pay more to put their ads on sites that contain popular keywords, as these sites will be visited most often. This will bring in more traffic to your site, resulting in higher click pay rates. There are software programs that you can use to find the most currently popular keywords.

Google actually has a blog that tells about their Google Adsense Tip for the day and any Google news. There are also forums by Google and their affiliates where others will help you to uncover the Google Adsense secret to success. Whether you want to make $5 a week, or $500, Google can be the way to go. Learn the Google Adsense secret and start earning hundreds of dollars a week instead of just a few pennies.

I had read some on ad sense but discarded the importance as so much “more work” to be addressed in the next life. I was busy with 111 urls, 3 that were earning money that I was earning ALL my income from. (I work full time from my home selling real products on websites that I have to ship when they are ordered.) EBay was a new adventure, but came to a screeching halt when we ran out of the exclusive product that sold like hotcakes for 18 months.

Dan was emphatic, “Don’t let the sun go down, until you have put ad sense on your high traffic website.” As it happened one of the 111 urls was getting 3-4000 visitors a day as an information site but I had nothing to sell and was negotiating to sell the site for $10,000 in less than a week.

I made all the mistakes, column ads, flashy colors, 3 ads to the page and made $1550.00 the first month. I was shocked… I found Joel and made some changes, $1800, the next month. Then Google rustled in its cocoon. (Google does a rejuggling of sites quite often and your site may go up or down in the organic search engine that = more or less traffic to your site.) I went down to $390.00 and was very upset.

I wrote Joel, I hired an SEO to kill the traffic virus that was stealing my traffic and sending my ad sense revenue to someone else. I started on 5 of my other sites “pruning, fertilizing and watering” them to be accepted by the Google Lords, oh yeah I put the right google ads and placement on them as well. I have labored many hours to increase my sites with ad sense ads on them and make sure my high traffic site was meeting the SEO requirements. The results are not staggering. But each month my income from ad sense increases. I am back to $800 a month.

My high traffic site makes 75% of my total ad sense revenue. All my other sites combined do not equal 1/2 of the high traffic site visitors each day.

Bottom line no traffic = no ad sense revenue.

The goals of an advertisement can be increased number of customers, higher dollar value of sales, requests to subscription of a service or just sharing personal data. The advertiser should be clear about the goals he/she sets out to achieve. Properly articulated goals, followed by well-crafted advertising campaign and periodic measurement of the result would complete the loop of an advertising campaign.

The metrics for measurement are Return-on-Investment (ROI) at the business level, cost per acquisition (CPA) and click-thru-rate (CTR). ROI measures the returns on the advertising budget; CPA measures the cost of converting a viewer/user to a customer; and CTR measures the number of visitors to the website. With increasing bidding prices for keywords, along with the heightened competition to remain at the same ranking, the numbers derived from these metrics become significant for the advertiser to take action upon modifying the campaign, etc.

There are software tools available to track the number of visitors clicking through. ROI and CPA can be measured from the actual sales figures and the advertising dollars spent. A word of caution to the advertisers: it would be myopic to look just at the numbers and miss the whole picture. For instance, a high click-thru-rate may be due to various reasons like fraud, etc and hence CTR has to be correlated to other metrics like CPA and ROI in order to get the real meaning.

With an average online conversion rate of around 2%, an online advertiser has to tightly utilize budget by continuously taking action on the measurements without which, the advertisement would be pulled off the portal where it is hosted, resulting in the loss of business.

Have you ever wondered why some people can get rich off Adwords, and yet many seem to sit there, never able to convert a single sale?

The crazy thing about this is that there is so much info out there, so many people telling you how to run your campaigns… and yet the vast majority of online marketers are still broke.

Well, I use to be part of the 90% that got nowhere, until I made a few strategic adjustments and now I am making a very good living promoting affiliate products via the site.

My strategy is very different to the one that most gurus imply. You see, all this talk of click thru rate and quality score algorithms and various other technical issues masks the basic fact of promotion: the niche / product / the sales letter you are promoting is king. It doesn’t matter how many keywords you add to your list, if you get the product wrong, everything else will flop. Since you don’t know which products work and which don’t you should expect to experiment quite a bit.

Instead of focusing on the details of my Adwords campaigns, I simply launch very many products across multiple niches.

Each niche takes me about an hour to locate, and an hour to setup a simple “no frills” Adwords campaign. Then, pretty soon, I know if the product I am promoting will sink or swim. Sounds simple, sounds profitable, but are you doing it?

I simply rinse and repeat, and every four or five attempts I run into a profitable niche and focus on it, setting up more Adwords campaigns within the niche.

When I find a profitable niche, I spend time on my Adwords campaign, but only then. This method allows me to go through about 10-20 niches and micro-niches per month. And every so often I come across a little gold mine that everyone else has overlooked because they were too focused on beefing up their keyword list or whatever.

Throwing stuff out there and constant experimentation is the way to make money from adwords

Never forget that it all comes down to the product (sales letter) that you are promoting, and you don’t know which product works unless you try. So try simply throwing stuff out there and not being so anal when you first setup your campaigns.

You will be very surprised at the results, and nine times out of ten you will be making money with Adwords within a few days
