So you finally made it! You worked out the bids, positioning, keywords and market research. Also you are a couple of steps ahead of the pack as you have taken advantage of Google's keyword research tools. Looks like your advertising promotions are all set for the next 6 months. Is there anything left to do?
The bad news is that you are not yet done because the real work is yet to come. Tracking is critical to your campaign. You will need to do this for all your ads, to make sure they are performing to maximum capacity.
You can do this in a variety of ways. Adwords will help you with this as it has a tool to show you the exact amount of traffic an advertisement is drawing. You can also do this with tools on your website. From these results you can calculate how many leads and sales were produced by a single advertisement.
It is critical to do this as an Adword campaign that is not working can cost you money. A failing campaign will stop you from focusing on the ads that are working, will produce useless leads, and be a complete waste of money. It is always good to keep in mind that you will be paying for your ad even if it is unproductive.
When you have an ad that is no good, you need to think what can be done to improve it. True you may have a good position in the first 5-10 pages but you still need to make improvements with the keywords. In order to get more views to your ads it is sometimes a temptation to choose popular keywords. This is because you might think that a popular keyword will draw traffic due to supply and demand.
The one problem that you will experience with these popular keywords is that they will not be targeted to your particular market. In general a searcher will commence with these words and then proceed to more specified ones. When choosing keywords you will need to use those that will attract your niche market, but at the same time draw enough traffic.
There is a fine balance between a tight niche keyword and a broad based one. On one hand you want to attract traffic on the other hand you want to make sales.
The bottom line is that if you want a successful Adwords campaign you need to watch your campaign like a hawk. Remember the success of your business will depend on the efficiency of your advertising campaign. - 17943
