As you begin creating and writing compelling ads for your Google Adwords campaign, it’s important to know which keywords and keyphrases to use so that people can identify your ad with ease. Google Adwords expert Perry Marshall encourages all Adwords users and pay-per-click managers to make full use of the Google Adwords Keyword Selector Tool when creating each ad. This free resource will allow users to uncover the best keywords in a niche, and may also assist in locating other related phrases for your campaigns, or in your keyword research. Google’s Keyword Tool is very helpful at focusing your efforts if your ads aren’t working; if your ad is only using low volume keywords, there’s a possibility that your Adwords ads won’t be clicked on enough to make your ad profitable.
Here are some additional methods for using Google’s Adwords Keyword Selector Tool to successfully create your Adwords campaign
1. Start with a broad search. Most people use very specific keyword phrases when they first begin conducting research with Adwords, and this might be a mistake because it will typically leave you only with average results. Start with a broad search instead and drill down your results using the ’synonyms’ tool that offers suggestions and variations as part of the results.
2. Create different ad groups using a set of similar keywords. Try to be certain that you are creating completely new ad groups for each campaign you create, so you can monitor what’s working – and what is not. There is a ‘relevant keywords’ feature built right into the Adwords Keyword Selector Tool (that you can use) that will make it easier for you to narrow down your search.
3. Use a ‘negative keywords’ strategy. Optimizing your Adwords campaign can sometimes involve taking out the words that don’t work in your niche, the Google Adwords tool can be adjusted to not show certain words that don’t fit in your market. For example, if you are selling greeting cards but your basic search keeps showing results for ‘free greeting cards,’ you can eliminate the word ‘free’ by designating it as a negative keyword. The Adwords Keyword Selector Tool will now only show you phrases that exclude the word “free”.’
4. If you aren’t sure where to start, you can use the Site Content feature. Google can scan your web page and offer suggestions of keywords based on your site’s content. For example, if your home page provides information about services and trends in your marketplace, these may be strong keywords for your particular niche. When the scanning process is complete, you will see a list of highly targeted keywords related to these ideas and topics in your results.
5. Location. Many people fail to realize how important adding a location – whether it’s a town, city or state – to your key term or keyphrase really is. This can be important if you provide products or services that are geographically specific; the visitors you get from these types of phrases might be better than a less specific search, and will provide more qualified traffic to your site. Consider appending a keyword or keyphrase with a location to determine the best combinations for your ad campaign.
Marketing with Google Ad Words is a powerful technique that most online-businesses can use to attract more customers. Writing quality Google Ads is one of the most important skills to have when using Ad Words – and there are many quality training resources available online. .
