AdWords Management - Tips On Keyword Selection

You will captivate and draw in your customer when you engage in the conversation going on right now inside her head. You can accomplish this with Google, and receive more clicks also by skillful use of the keywords for your ad. Attract more customers by bidding on more keywords - this is a fundamental rule for managing AdWords.

The thing that helps you give your clients satisfaction is showing them that you know what they are thinking. Showing them that you know just what kind of day they had today. That is just what it is to join the conversation that is going on inside your client's head. When you seamlessly enter and communicate using the same words he uses and about the same topics that are important to him, that is when he will 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.

The more places in your ad that you have keywords showing up, the better your chances of getting the clicks. That means the headline. That might mean the body of the ad. That even means the display URL. If someone types in "German" or "Learn German," notice how many times they'll see their keyword in this ad:

If managing AdWords effectively means addressing, in a direct way, and with exactness what they are searching for and reflecting that back to them, how can you find out what they are searching for? Where can you find lists of the good and lucrative keywords?

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.

The List above clearly shows where you will find the money and the traffic. Also clear are the keywords that don't belong on your list.

Without spending a dime it is already clear what your most prominent negative keywords are. Negatives are the keyword you want to specifically keep your ad from showing when someone uses them to search. Just put them in your list beginning with a negative. Such as:

-dog

-puppy

-shepherd

-pointer

-dictionary

-translator

-translation

-hair

-etc.

Your ads won't show anytime people include these words in their search.

If you want to know what the keywords will probably cost you to advertise on them head over to Yahoo Resource Center at www.overture.com, and select the "BidsTool". Enter your keyword in the search box and you will receive from Overture a list of the prices advertisers pay to sell their products on Yahoo sites. The prices for "learn German" range from 47 cents to a nickel.

Of course, this is Overture, not Google. At the time of this writing, positions on Yahoo's search pages are determined by bids and bids only, whereas on Google you get preferential treatment for having an especially good click-through rate, and the competition, and the nature of the traffic, are different.

Don't let this throw you though. Overture's Bid Tool is quick indicator of the kind of business advertisers are able to generate with their Yahoo clicks. By this example advertisers weren't willing to pay more than 47 cents per click. When you contrast that with what you see for "home mortgage", where the top bid on Overture is over 4 dollars, you can see what the business possibilities are for the "learn German" market are or aren't.
