A B Cs -- The Basics of Adwords 
By: Kirt Christensen
The ABCs to Succeed using Adwords
A) Always select keywords that are pertinent to your product or service. You may be tempted to get keywords at random from a search engine database that could be relative to your topic just because they are in the top 5. Do Not Do That! All of your energies should be targeted directly at your prospective clients don't select aimless keywords.
B) Before you finalize your keywords be sure that they meet the qualifications. Is it broad enough that it could be used by the average consumer as they search? At the same time, is it sufficiently specific that it won't attract an abundance of dead end leads? You have to pay for those clicks whether they bring you money or not. This is pay-per-click. Once you have made the requisite efforts, and you have a high click through rate, if you are not converting those to sales you will speedily see your advertising dollars flowing down the drain.
C) Choose with care the price you are willing to bid for a keyword. Search engines are smart. Search engines know that they will get the greater profit from ads that have a greater bid price per click. Therefore the search engine will put those ads in the top spot in Sponsored Links, and they will be seen by more searchers. This would also mean more traffic. This should be a winning situation for both you and the search engine, higher bid price=more click throughs=more profits.
Problem is this is not always so. The top position won't help you if you have a budget that won't go far enough to let you make enough sales to get back your invested funds. Therefore you must find a balance and that can be hard.
D) Do not scrimp on follow through. Carefully observe you ads after your campaign is launched to gauge the quantity of business that they generate. Vigilant tweaking is required to cut back on problems and keep your campaigns focused on the right group to maximize profits generated by your advertising expenditures.
These are the most basic yet vital aspects of an advertising campaign. If you are wise you will make the effort to study and utilize these concepts to maximize your profits and success coming from your internet marketing business and your AdWords campaign.
