AdWords Management - Tips On Keyword Selection

By: Kirt Christensen

You can grab your client's attention by entering into the conversation going on inside her head. Google can help you to accomplish this and get higher clicks as well, by skillful use of keywords in your ads. One of the premier rules of AdWords management is; capture the attention of more people by bidding on more keywords.

Nothing endears you to your customer like reading his own diary, showing that you know what it feels like to be him. Telling him exactly what his day was like today. And that's what it means to enter the conversation inside your customer's head. When you step right into his thoughts and talk to him the way he talks to other people and himself about things that are important to him, he'll listen to you.

The keyword people type in is the conversation inside their head, at that very moment. Your ad will capture peoples' interest when it repeats to them what they're thinking. So putting your keywords in your headline, and in the body of your ad, and in your URL are all part of a sound advertising strategy.

If your keywords show up in more places you have a greater chance of receiving more clicks. Keywords in your headline, body and display URL are the key. So you can see how many times someone searching for "German" or "Learn German" will find their keyword in this ad:

When powerful AdWords Management equals knowing what people are searching for and sending it right back to them in the form of an ad, where do you look to find what it is they are searching for. How do you find the great keywords and more importantly the keywords that can boost profits?

The fastest site to begin your quest is to go to Overture's Keyword Selector Tool. This is a free service at http://inventory.overture.com. It makes available to you an instant overview of the value of each of your keywords and how they relate to each other.

458,579 learn german

103,157 german shepherd

85,210 german

22,970 german dictionary

16,990 german english dictionary

16,294 german translation

15,992 german shepherd dog

14,409 german translator

13,037 german shepherd puppy

11,646 english german dictionary

10,187 german to english

9,810 german to english translation

9,800 german short hair pointer

One look at this list and it's obvious where the traffic and money will be. It's also obvious that you've got keywords here that don't belong.

You haven't spent a penny yet and you already know what your major negative keywords are going to be. These are words you include in your list where you specifically do not want your ad to show when people type them in. You enter them into your keyword list with negatives in front of them. For example:

-dog

-puppy

-shepherd

-pointer

-dictionary

-translator

-translation

-hair

-etc.

Anytime someone has this word in a search, your ad won't show up.

What is it going to cost you in reality, to bid on these words? To fin the answer to that question go over to the Yahoo Resource Center at www.overture.com, and select the "Bid Tools" button. After you put in "learn German" in the search box, you will be shown a list of prices that advertisers will pay to advertise their goods at Yahoo sites. They range all the way from forty-seven cents down to five cents.

This information of course is from Overture, not Google. When this article was written, Yahoo's search pages were determined by bids only. On the other hand, with Google, you can get preferred treatment if you have a better than average click-through-rate. Also on Google the competition and nature of the traffic are not the same.

Not a problem. The bids Tool is a quick gauge of how good a job advertisers are able to do on making money from their Yahoo clicks. In this case, nobody is willing to pay more than $0.47 per click. That tells you something already. When you compare "learn German," which maxes out at $.47, to "home mortgage," where Overture bids top off at over $4, you've got a sense now of how lucrative the learn - German market is, or is not, going to be for you.
