Google AdWords Expert


These days it seems everyone fancies himself a Google AdWords expert. A blogger spends an hour or so studying the Google Engage program, and suddenly he feels he is qualified to hang out a shingle and advise you on your pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns.

There is a lot more to PPC than simply understanding the difference between a broad match and a phrase match. Make sure your so-called PPC expert has real-world experience and can also tell you what that difference has meant in revenue for an actual campaign he has managed.

Conversion Optimization Issues with Clients

So you have a client that is asking you to make many changes to his/her website based on conversion optimizations. What is conversion optimization you ask? Well according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_optimization) “conversion optimization or conversion rate optimization is the method of creating an experience for a website or landing page visitor with the goal of increasing the percentage of visitors that convert into customers.”

The only problem is that your client is making changes based on her opinions.  Changes that she thinks will work better… but they often don’t. To make matters worse, you hardly have any data you can analyze. The client isn’t allowing the tests enough time to run.

PPC Campaign Management; Why You May Need a New Campaign

PPC campaigns can drive targeted customers to your site and provide you with the analytical data you need to maximize conversions. In fact, because you only pay when someone clicks on your ads, PPC is one of the most cost effective advertising models available today. However, in unskilled hands, a Google AdWords marketing campaign can prove a waste of advertising assets that leads to inconclusive information and lost revenue.

One common mistake many new webmasters make is targeting too many different keywords with the same PPC campaign. This leads to adverse situations when…

PPC Marketing; AdWords Can Draw in Targeted Customers

Pay-per-click (PPC) marketing can be one of the most cost effective methods of drawing new prospects to your website. With an optimized landing page and a clear call to action, you can convert these targeted leads to paying customers. And with detailed analytics, you can keep refining your ads and your landing pages to turn PPC pennies into dollars of profit.

Google AdWords is one of the easiest PPC programs to implement. Google provides a lot of analytical data you can use to interpret the behavior of visitors to your website. Google also provides webmaster tools that show where you can improve your website to increase visitor interaction. The Google website optimizer allows you to split test different versions of the same page to find which works best in particular situations.

Google Instant Preview and SEO

The introduction of Google’s Instant Previews has brought with it an increased need for organic SEO rankings as well as a targeted landing page that’s informative and to the point. Now before users clicks the search result and goes to your site, they can preview whether your site is relevant to their searches or not. Bottom line:  If you don’t have enough quality backlinks to boost your organic rankings in the SERPs and if your pages are not specifically targeted for the keywords you are optimizing for (including textual and design elements), you are likely to get less traffic and leads from organic results.

Click Management and Pay per Click

Managing a Pay per Click advertising campaign can lead to increased conversions, particularly if you already have a web presence but aren’t seeing any profits yet. Although a Pay per Click campaign is not easy to optimize, it is money well spent. The best part is that you don’t pay a cent unless someone actually clicks on your advertisement. Of course, whether they stay on your landing page and continue to click through your website is another matter. For that you need the services of an experienced AdWords Certified Partner Company.

Google AdWords vs. Microsoft adCenter

Google AdWords and Microsoft adCenter are both very useful tools when it comes to launching a PPC campaign. While there are some differences between the two, they can be equally efficient at getting your PPC campaign exposure.

Google AdWords

Google definitely has a larger market share than adCenter. Google has been in the internet advertising business for a long time, and they have more experience. Quite frankly, they’re rather good at what they do. AdWords has been reaching millions of users daily for a considerable period of time. People respect Google, and subsequently their paid advertisements, as a trusted provider of information. So, your AdWords campaign gains that respect.

Does Site Speed Affect Google Ranking and SEO?

Yes, it absolutely does. Although the goods and services offered on your website may be in high demand, if your site loads slowly, you may find that you are not getting as much traffic as you expected. The truth is that in the age of instant gratification, users simply don’t have much patience for pages that take long to load or sites that are slow to get through. They simply aren’t used to waiting anymore.

Best Landing Page

If you want to be able to analyze the efficacy of your own landing page, consider for a moment the last five websites you visited, focusing specifically on their landing pages. (the first page you ‘landed’ on after clicking an advertisement or banner). Did you stay and ‘click through,’ exploring the website further, or did you close out of the site after just seconds? What ‘worked’ for the site?  Now, consider your own landing pages. Take a moment to review analytical numbers for your site, focusing specifically on what visitors did once they landed. How long did they stay? Was that time frame enough to perform a specific action? How do they actually navigate through the site itself? Which links did they click?
