VII. RESOURCES - Help with Google AdWords campaigns - Professional Google AdWords campaign management services - Google (General) Resources Not many would dispute the fact that Overture, Google and to some extent FindWhat generate the maximum amount of traffic that converts. Yes - the keyword here is conversion/ROI and not the number of clicks. But at the same time, not many would dispute the fact that the big three are getting expensive every day. The competition is intense in most business segments and absolutely absurd in others. If your business is largely dependent on pay per click search engine traffic, you should consider looking at other pay per click search engines like Ah-ha, Kanoodle, SearchFeed, Sprinks, 7Search etc. The problem with the smaller PPC search engines is that usual worries about click fraud from competitors, bots clicking on your advertiser links and so on. The truth is that some of the smaller search engines do offer good ROI especially since they have lower minimums and the competition is lot lesser. So do you shell out $25 and "check it out"? No. It is necessary to do some amount of research before filling their coffers. Read reviews of the search engines Check out the major pay per click search engine review sites (type 'pay per click search engine reviews' in Google) and compare what the 'experts' have to say. But beware - do not fall for HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! verdicts that these review sites give. Generally, the idea behind setting up a pay per click search engine site is to refer advertisers to the search engines and earn commission amounts. Nothing wrong with that, of course! If you really want independent reviews, check Alexa. To read reviews of a PPC search engine, click here and replace masteringadwords.com with the search site. Who are the partner sites? Are they reputable? Most pay per click search engines are just infrastructure providers - they sign up search partners and share the revenue generated through their sites. Stay away from the search engines if the partner sites look dubious (for example - if they look like a directory with a bunch of links). If the site does not list their partner sites, drop an email to customer service. This is also a good way of checking the promptness of their customer service. A few more pointers - - Do NOT deposit more than $25. Never fall for "Deposit $50 and we will deposit $250 more". - Expect your ROI to be atleast 25 to 50 percent lower than Google/Overture/FindWhat. Make sure your bid prices are much lower than what you pay elsewhere. - Most importantly, make sure you track your ROI using a keyword tracking software like IndexTools.com Keywords or key phrases are terms that a possible client would use to find your product or service. It is important to have a large number of keywords yes - but it is equally important that these keywords be relevant to your website. Keyword research is a generally a continuous never-ending process that can help increase traffic and reduce costs. This is the most important aspect of any Google AdWords campaign. How does one select keywords for PPC campaigns? Let's assume that we are promoting MasteringAdWords.com. Step No.1 - Get hold of all the possible keywords relevant to your business and list them in separate columns of an excel sheet. Ideally enter “key phrases” since these work better than only words. For our example, I would choose Google AdWords as the main keyword. Step No.2 - Head for the Overture keyword suggestion tool and type the main keyword. In this case the keyword is 'Google AdWords' and the displayed terms are - google adwords google adwords program google adwords stats google adwords promotion code This particular site has nothing to do with 'stats'. Also note that Google keeps singulars and plurals as individual keywords. So our keyword list should look like - google adwords google adwords program google adwords promotion code google adwords programs google adwords promotion codes -stats Adding -keyword will make sure that the ad will not be displayed for non-relevant keywords. Great - now we have one set of keywords for an AdGroup. Step No.3 - We need to now find keywords 'related' to the main keyword. Head right for the Google AdWords keyword suggestion tool and type in the main keyword. On the right hand side, note down the relevant keywords under 'Here are similar keywords you may want to add' and make new columns in the excel Step No. 4 - Go back to step No.2. That is, insert these new keywords into Overture and repeat the procedure till you have a significant list of relevant keywords. </body>
