Managing an AdWords Campaign After the Launch

By: Kirt Christensen

Celebrate! You've done it!

You have gotten your market research accomplished. You have skillfully gotten your keywords. You also figured up how much you could spend on bids to keep your ads on the top search result page. You went even farther and the tools Google offers to help with synonyms and relevant keywords; you are set up for the next half a year.

Now what?

Unfortunately, now it is time for the real work to begin. You are going to have to carefully track the activity of each one of your advertisements to see how productive and efficient they are being. There are a number of ways you can do this.

There are tools offered by Adwords that let you track how much traffic you are getting from your ads; this IS how they generate funds. Your website will most likely have a way to track which ads brought traffic that led to a sale.

This is important because an inefficient AdWords ad will only serve to be a continual drain on your resources, either sitting around gathering dust and distracting your efforts from places where they could do more good or generating unproductive leads which will lead to you paying money in advertising costs which will never be recouped; remember, you will have to pay the search engine for displaying your ad regardless of the amount of business it is bringing in.

What are the options for handling an ad that isn't producing.?

Doing your job the right way has made it so that your ads are coming up with the search results in the firs 5-10 pages, so you need to know whether the problem is your keywords or not. When you chose your keywords your impulse might have been to choose the keyword that is a very popular one. After all that will probably bring more visitors to your site and that's good.

The hard part here is that too many of the popular term are too broad, meaning you might start searching for something with this word but would use the results to refine your search and find what you are looking for elsewhere. So if a web surfer used this as a search term he probably didn't know quite what he was looking for and would browse through a number of sites making no purchases. A desirable keyword has a broad enough reach to attract unknowing searchers but narrow enough to also attract your target people.

Monitor your ads carefully. This is crucial in the continuation of your Adwords campaign's success. This success also determines the success of your business in the future. Be sure to take every precautionary measure to be sure that your business's future is bright.
