Post-launch Management of Adwords Campaigns 
By: Kirt Christensen
Congratulations, you did it!
You did your market research, chose your keywords carefully and did all the math before deciding how much you could afford to bid while still keeping your advertisement among the top search results. You've already gone two steps ahead and utilized all of Google's tools for choosing synonyms and other keywords; your advertising campaign for the next six months is all laid out.
What's next?
Well,now you really have to get to work. You must track with care what your ads and keywords are doing so you can see if they are performing as you want them to. You can do this in a couple different ways.
Tools offered by AdWords help you to calculate what percentage of your traffic is brought by your ad (this is how they get their profits). Your web host will have a way to get information that tells you which ads attracted traffic that led to sales.
This is vital because ads not performing well will be a constant draw on your advertising resources, or it will sit and do nothing, taking up space and your attentions. When you could be concentrating on more profitable ads. You pay the search engine whether the clicks are productive or not.
What are the options for handling an ad that isn't producing.?
If you have done your homework and your ad is appearing within the first five to ten pages of search results it is time to determine whether or not the problem lies in your keywords. It is very tempting when choosing a keyword to select one that is among the most popular-after all, if it is popular that means that more people are going to be looking for it, right? Supply and demand, after all.
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.
Careful monitoring of your advertisements is going to be a critical factor in the ongoing success of your AdWords campaign, and it is this ongoing success that will determine the future of your business. Ensure that you are taking every precaution to ensure that that future is a bright one.
