Multiply
traffic
with AdWords
AdWords is the component of Googles advertising programs that allows
web masters or SEO professionals to advertise web sites via links from
other web sites. AdWords is used in conjunction with adsense in such a
way that your links are placed only on the most relevant web pages. You
are given a good deal of traffic at a very reasonable price and the
conversion rate from AdWords is higher than that of any other pay per
click advertising system on the web.
As
I just mentioned, Google AdWords
is a pay per
click service. This
means that you must pay Google a certain amount for each click that you
receive via your AdWords links. The best part about this is that you
never have to pay unless your link is clicked so every payment that you
make to Google was in exchange for a real, live potential customer.
 When advertising
with AdWords, it is crucial that your advertising
links go to pages that have high conversion rates. You don't want to
send traffic to a page that doesn't make money. If you have one page
that absolutely blows the other pages out of the water in the way of
conversion rates, setting up an adwords program that links to this site
can give your profits a huge kick.
Once you have decided what pages you are going to link your ads to, you
must decide what you are going to place in your ads. Google AdWords
allows you to place a headline, two descriptions, a URL to display, and
a destination URL. The best way to configure this is to put the title
of your destination page into the title, use the two description lines
to inform your visitors of what they are going to see, list your domain
or root directory as the display URL, and use a high conversion page as
the destination URL. This combination of information will provide your
visitors with the best idea as to whether or not they are going to find
something that they want to purchase on your site.
Remember that there may be a page with a high sales rate that doesn't
stand alone well if you send traffic directly to it. If you have pages
that build up the products sold, these may be the places that your
links are better spent. You may want to provide your visitors with a
brief description or several pages of information regarding your
product before sending them to the order page.
Google attempts to enforce its
standards so that you do
not pay for
clicks that are made merely in an attempt to boost an adsense users
profits. This is crucial because there are so many web masters out
there who will continually click on the ads on their own pages in an
attempt to boost their profits. These clicks do nothing for you as the
web master probably doesn't even look at the page before exiting it and
clicking the links again.
Google's anti-fraud system is a match
for that of any
advertising
agency on the net. It is, however, possible that you will pay for an
click here and there that is not honest. This is the risk involved in
Google Adwords. It is so easy to think that you have come up with a
powerful solution with no possible downside, but the possibility of
fraud is always there when it comes to online pay per click ads.
The best way to
combat fraudulent
clicks is to keep
close tabs on
your statistics. If you are getting hundreds of visits from a
particular web page each day and each of the visits is under twenty
cents in length, there is more than a slight possibility that it is a
fraudulent attempt to inflate that site's adsense earnings. If you
encounter such a practice, report it to Google immediately. This will
save you and many other web masters a great deal of money. The fact
that there are dishonest people in this world will not change, but the
dishonesty of pay per click advertisement is diminishing and will,
hopefully, continue to do so.
When using adwords, you will increase
your traffic, but
that isn't
the goal. The goal of advertising is to increase profits so if your
profits do not increase when you begin to utilize adwords, you may want
to reevaluate your usage of your ads. You may decide that you need to
change the destination page or you may find that you want to display
your ads on pages based in different countries. Whatever you decide,
the fact is that if you plan carefully, adwords is bound to increase
your sales opportunities.
