When Is Google AdWords Necessary?

February 11, 2010
It's important to have an understanding of what Google AdWords is and how it works. With AdWords, advertisers pick keywords they believe will be relevant to their website and their marketing strategies. They then bid on the keywords and phrases, with the highest bidders having their ads above the top search engine results (shaded in yellow) and/or along the right side of the first Search Engine Result Page (SERP). The cost per click (CPC) is then formulated according to how the bids were priced; what makes AdWords so unique, though, is the advertiser doesn't pay for the placement itself. What's paid for is each click on the ad that brings the web surfer to the advertiser's optimized landing page.

Does Google Advertisement Work?

January 19, 2010
There is a lot of hype surrounding Google Advertisement through AdWords, but does their program live up to it all? This is a really important question to answer, as Google clearly leads all online internet advertising brands. Google's PPC (Pay per Click) program works immediately to produce results that organic SEO can take months to achieve. However, in assessing Adwords, you must first define success. Is Adwords your entire online marketing approach or is it part of a broader, more diversified set of strategies to promote your online business? Is it a short, intermediate or long term strategy? How many clicks does it take to make a sale? What is your net profit / sale? Is it worth it? Clearly you have to answer these questions, be conservative and really do the math so that you know what success really looks like.

How Does Google Adwords Work?

December 22, 2009
Google's advertising network is referred to as Google AdWords. The way the Google Adwords network operates is by allowing advertisers to bid on an endless selection of keywords that they believe may be typed into the Google search engine in search of information. When an advertiser bids on a specific keyword, and they bid a high enough price, the result is that their ad will appear in a special segment of the search engine results pages for that keyword which is located both above the regular search engine results (shaded in yellow) and along the right side of the page as well.

One of the most effective ways to advertise your online business is by utilizing Pay per Click (PPC) advertising. Under this model of advertising, payment is made only when a user clicks on one of your ads. These ads are typically keyword targeted and there placement is based mainly on the bidding position (the amount you are willing to pay for the click) and the historical performance of your ad (Quality Score). PPC can be an excellent way to increase visibility and locate new customers. Learning to effectively use PPC marketing can have a huge impact on your bottom line.
