Adwords Mistakes that You Can't Afford to Make

By Ali Rodriguez


To the unprepared and clueless, Google's Adwords can be confusing and certainly dangerous. You need to get the basics right first or else you'll end up making silly mistakes, like the ones we will be discussing in this article.

Probably one of the worst blunders to commit is blowing your money because your daily budget was set too high. All the stories are true about losing a lot of money faster than you can say Google Adwords, almost, if you do not have the knowledge, experience, and discipline. If your daily spend is set too high, and you're new - chances are excellent your campaign isn't set-up right, and you'll lose a lot of money in one day. However, if you moderately try to lower your daily spending, you will be able to decide on how much you're spending and get the test data to analyze your campaign. You'll have some peace of mind because you know your budget (daily) is set right, and then you can analyze everything and make intelligent decisions about where to proceed.

Using this data, you'll be able to tweak your campaign and turn it profitable or just turn it off. Set your daily budget to something realistic, and have the right mindset about it - if you lose that money, then it's ok. It seems that the only position new Adword advertisers want to achieve is the top position. This thinking could be wrong, since with Google Adwords, the first position can be the worst position. The average person will click on the first ad only because it is the first ad, not because they are interested. You pay for each click on your ad, so you don't want to waste a click. You will find that you get more click from interested buyers if you are in the third or fourth position. Another bonus to the lower position is that the cost per click is lower. If you want to be successful each step should be carfeully planned out.

If you're new to Adwords, and also for any new campaign, you always should set your daily budget, or ad spend, to something low like $5 per day. Your daily budget determines how many impressions you'll get, so just set it low but high enough so you get a reasonable amount of traffic. What you're trying to do is see how your ads convert, etc, and you need to get enough impressions and click-throughs to make that determination. But also remember that the numbers Google gives you are not written in stone. Once you know how the campaign is working, you can later on bring down your budget.

Study and learn from professional on how to advertise with Adwords, and the move slowly and surely.
