Understanding Google’s rules
and tips and tricks – Google has lots of
unwritten rules for how campaigns should be set up
and run. These rules have a direct impact on how
much you’ll pay for the advertising. These rules
include:
• Keyword grouping
• Quality score
• Ad relevancy
• Click through rate management
• Bid pricing |
| • |
Keyword research –
Most companies have anywhere from 10 to keywords
and should most likely be bidding on 1,000-3,000.
The right tools and strategies can make a big
difference in your campaign. |
| • |
Ad testing – If
you’re not split testing, you’re most likely
getting only 1⁄2 the visitors to your site than you
should be. |
| • |
Conversion tracking –
Most business owners don’t know how to track
whether a dollar spent on advertising generated any
sales. Obviously, without this information, you’re
flying blind. |
| • |
Tools – Having the
right tools in the market to help create and manage
pay per click
campaigns is critical. |

Targeted sales pages
– Sending all your visitors to a generic home page
isn’t nearly as effective as sending them to a
targeted page that tells them exactly how you can
solve their particular problem. |
