Don't Make These Easy Adwords Mistakes

By Jane Smith


There are several good reasons to advertise your online business with Google AdWords. Firstly, you don't have to worry about the quality of the traffic you can get, as Google is behind this service. Secondly, this is traffic you can get almost immediately, rather than having to spend weeks or months improving your site's search engine rank. Reason number three is that AdWords allows you complete control over your budget, which means you can start with as much or little money as you want. However, AdWords has gone complicated in the past few years, due to its growth and because of the growing number of advertisers. This is why many advertisers end up making mistakes that can be avoided.

First of all, you'll want to avoid the most common mistake and that's deciding on a keyword that covers to wide a subject. Your whole aim with Google AdWords is to drive relevant traffic and get targeted results, and this won't happen unless you narrow down your keywords to the highest extent. If you don't listen to this step, then you risk false clicks, which would mean all your hard work was for nothing.

You should always track your ads and keywords. You will eventually lose money if this isn't done, as you won't be able to see how far you've come. Therefore, if your ads aren't working, you are just throwing your money away. It's not that difficult to track all your activity, you can use tools like Google AdWords.

Another mistake you want to avoid is not paying any attention to your competition. This is something that does not occur to many advertisers, and it ends up hurting them. It's important to analyze your competition. A fast and simple way to conduct this research is with the Google Keyword Tool. You can pull up a list of a competitor's keywords simply by entering their url in the keyword tool. Beyond this, look over the website in general to see what kind of content they are posting and how the site looks. To study your competition in more detail, use Spyfu.com, which will dig up the amount they spend on PPC and tell you the rank of their site. By searching under some of their keywords, you can see what their actual ads look like, what words and text they use and so on.

If you've been unable to make money from Adwords, it's likely that you have been making some of these same mistakes. It's common for people to try Adwords once and then quit after they don't find the success they're looking for, and instead they just need to look back and see what didn't work. You must really look at the mistakes listed here before you try Adwords so that you have the highest chances for success with your advertising campaigns.
