To increase your traffic flow and get your share of the
Google pie, your first step is to sign up with Google, go to your
Adwords login and set up your first campaign(s). Adwords is Google's
version of Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. All the search engines have
their own variations of PPC and they are all called something different.
Pay per click means just that: when someone clicks on your ad, you
pay. How much you pay can vary depending on several variables such as
the quality score of your ad and the competition of your keywords.
Since no one really knows just how Google calculates their quality
score, it can be somewhat difficult to figure things out.
If you have an ad with a high quality score you can get a higher
ranking when your ad shows up in the results. So instead of your ad
being shown in the last position on the first page, or not on the first
page at all, your high quality score ad will show up within the top ads
shown for that keyword.
Quality score is thought to be made up of, at least partially, how
many clicks you get per number of views. This is called the Click
Through Rate (CTR). So the more times your ad is clicked on the higher
your quality score will be since Google thinks that your ad is getting a
lot of clicks because it's highly relevant to the keywords it's
targeting.
For example, you've just set up your first campaign and you're
targeting the keyword: dog training. You've carefully chosen many
keywords that are very directly related to your niche. Your ad is well
written and intriguing. Your ad is shown a lot and a lot of people who
see it will actually click on it so you have a high CTR. Google will
reward you for your high CTR by showing your ad more often and charging
you less per click than some of your competitors will have to pay.
This whole process tends to get very complicated and convoluted.
Since you are paying for the clicks you get, and you may be paying a
premium since you've not had the time or experience to dial it in and
get that high quality score, you have to make sure that you have enough
money in your advertising budget to be able to stick with your PPC
campaigns long enough to make changes and tweak things until you get to
the point where you are getting a high CTR and the best price possible
on your keyword bids.
With PPC so complicated and having so many elements that you have
to keep track of, you may be wondering why people use it at all. The answer to that is because it works. Again, if you can afford to stick
with it while you are learning it, you can get a lot of visitors and in
turn make a lot of sales. And that all starts right at your
Adwords login page.
To Your Success
