7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Doing Keyword Research – Mistake Number Five

Mistake Number Five: Not Following a Proven System for Creating Killer PPC Campaigns

There are many ways to use PPC marketing in general and AdWords in particular. You can

1) Use AdWords to begin generating traffic to a new website almost immediately.

2) Use PPC to supplement (or augment) your website’s position in the SERPs.

3) Use PPC to market someone else’s products and receive a commission for any sales you generate. This form of advertising is called “Affiliate Marketing” and is a huge topic in its own right.

Whatever your reason for using AdWords, the process is pretty much the same.

1) Assemble a massive list of targeted keywords that will have meaning to the members of the market you’re targeting. These are the words that your market will be typing into Google to find items that interest them (like, hopefully, your product).

2) Group these different keywords into smaller clusters that have a common thread and put these smaller groups of keywords into separate Ad Groups in your AdWords campaign.

3) Write separate ads (Google calls them “Creatives”) that are targeted to the keywords in each specific Ad Group.

4) Monitor the results and eliminate the non-performing keywords. This step can benefit you in your natural Search Engine Optimization efforts as well. Why go through all of the time & effort to optimize your website pages for keyword phrases that end up not converting into sales? Test your keywords first using AdWords and then optimize different pages of your website for the best performing keywords.

5) Always run two different ads for each Ad Group. After 100 clicks or so, you’ll probably see that one ad is outperforming the other. Delete the underperformer and replace it with a new ad. The original ad that you kept is now your “control” and the process here is simply to try and beat the control with subsequent ads.

Trying little variations is important. I have seen ads double their CTR (Click Thru Rate) by simply changing only one word in the ad.

When I’m creating a new AdWords campaign, my goal is to generate as many keywords as possible, using the different keyword research tools I described to you yesterday.

I then group them into logical groups which become my different Ad Groups in the campaign. I add quotes and brackets to all of the multi-word keyword phrases (which is called Phrase Matching and Exact Matching in AdWords speak) and then I’m off to the races, so to speak.

Writing effective ads to maximize the CTR of your ads is a science which is extremely necessary to your AdWords success but well beyond the scope of this mini course. To learn to write “killer” AdWords ads and to learn to master AdWords in general, I recommend an eBook called AdWords Miracle very highly.

Mastering Google AdWords is a skill that will benefit every online marketer. Because of the ability to begin generating results within minutes of creating a campaign, AdWords is my method of choice for bringing new products to market.

You can even use AdWords to test your market to see if a new product you’re excited about is something that excites your market!

All in all, I believe that Google’s AdWords program is one of the best advertising methods ever created and effective keyword research is one of the cornerstones of AdWords success.

Ehem, I’m starting to show up

November 2, 2006

Call this site a late bloomer if you want.  I’m just happy to see that this Ituloy Angsulong entry is starting to show up in Google. As of the time of writing, this site is ranked #7 in Google for the keyphrase ituloy angsulong but sadly is nowhere to be found yet in Yahoo and MSN.

This is encouraging.  Now, it’s time for Phase 2 of my ituloy angsulong plan.


Fast and Furious with Ituloy Angsulong

November 1, 2006

A bunch of active contestants from all over the country are driving fast and furious building their Ituloy Angsulong websites and doing their best to get as much inbound links with Ituloy Angsulong as the anchor text.

It is strongly believed that he (or she) who gets the most incoming links with the keyphrase Ituloy Angsulong as the anchor text would definitely get the edge when it comes to SE ranking. The tough part of this contest however is that contestants will have to deal with three search engines instead of just one and that means my Ituloy Angsulong site can be #1 on one search engine and nowhere to be found on the other two. The different algorithms the 3 search engines have is one thing to consider if an Ituloy Angsulong contestant would want to grab the bonus prize.

Anyway, we still have 4 months to go so to all contestants – Ituloy Angsulong!
