Adwords Mistakes Than You Can’t Afford To Make

Google Adwords is a proven and highly effective advertising tool that is designed to funnel targeted traffic to your site. Adwords is beneficial for a lot of things, including making a sale, getting a lead, or testing a new offer. You can even use Adwords to market a product worldwide or to target a specific geographical location according to country, state, and city. However, if you just go ahead and set up your campaigns without doing your homework and proper preparation, you will be making costly mistakes that’ll only lead to more problems and less progress. In this article we’ll be looking into 3 common mistakes that you should avoid when dealing with Adwords.

1. Use Successful Campaigns as a Guideline

In a nut shell Don’t bid on a broad term e.g GIFTS but bid on a niche term like Baby Boy Gitfs
One great advantage of PPC is that you’re in control of how your budget is spent. With Google Adwords, you can perform the types of tests required for proper optimization of your campaign which in turn increases its profit level. But when you don’t make use of this feature, you’re not only losing money but also leaving a lot of money on the table. Adwords facilitates split testing by allowing you to run 2 or more of your own ads in competition with one another, so you can determine which has the highest earning potential. If you only have one ad running, it won’t be easy for you to know if it’s really working for you or not. Split testing allows you to weed out poor performing ads. When you remove the poor achieving ad and keep the better performing ad in place, you improve your click through rates and achieve higher conversions.

Blunder #2: Placing Ads on Google Content Network

Wrong Keyword Baby git the right Keyword Creative Baby Gifts
Google’s Content Network is a network made up of other sites where Google’s ads are also displayed. These sites aren’t guaranteed to be targeted towards your topic and could be AdSense based, where the information isn’t relevant or has other competing products that can prove to be a distraction. What does this mean to you? It’s a risk in simple terms as you might not get your return on investment even after spending gobs of money. In addition, these ads are difficult to track. Which is why you should turn off the “content network” option when you’re starting on your campaign as to only focus on Google and Google’s partners. The content network has its own benefits but it’s another world.

3)Failing To Have A Landing Page

May keywords have alot of searches but they are not a buyers Keyword eg of a buyer Keyword “Baby Girl Gifts”

This is yet another mistake made commonly by beginners, they get carried away with Adwords without studying the consequences. The numbers in their market make them see potential and they calculate 10,000 visitors a month and lots of money. However, what they don’t think about when it comes to this is the conversion rate. For the profit to exist the traffic needs to convert. It is better to select a lower, less expensive traffic generating option as you get the hang of Adwords and tweak your campaign, and then grow into the traffic generating mode that best compliments your conversions. This is the only way to ramp up your profits to the maximum with Adwords.
