So you finally made it! You worked out the bids, positioning, keywords and market research. Also you are a couple of steps ahead of the pack as you have taken advantage of Google's keyword research tools. Looks like your advertising promotions are all set for the next 6 months. Is there anything left to do?
The bad news is that you are not yet done because the real work is yet to come. Tracking is critical to your campaign. You will need to do this for all your ads, to make sure they are performing to maximum capacity.
You can do this in a variety of ways. Adwords will help you with this as it has a tool to show you the exact amount of traffic an advertisement is drawing. You can also do this with tools on your website. From these results you can calculate how many leads and sales were produced by a single advertisement.
You will need to be aware of this, as a failing Adword campaign will eat up your advertising budget. It will not only waste your money but will prevent you from concentrating on the ads that are pulling, and bring in worthless leads. After all you will still be paying money for your unproductive ad.
So how do you fix an unproductive ad? If it is placed well, within the first 5-10 pages, and is drawing traffic but no sales, you may want to target your keyword better. It is very tempting to use a broad based keyword to draw in the traffic.
The one problem that you will experience with these popular keywords is that they will not be targeted to your particular market. In general a searcher will commence with these words and then proceed to more specified ones. When choosing keywords you will need to use those that will attract your niche market, but at the same time draw enough traffic.
You will want to have a good blend of keywords. general ones to bring in traffic and new leads and specialized ones to make sales.
The bottom line is that if you want a successful Adwords campaign you need to watch your campaign like a hawk. Remember the success of your business will depend on the efficiency of your advertising campaign. - 15266
