Google's
AdWords Select(tm) Groundbreaking Program
by: Lee Traupel
One of the
absolute best online marketing processes
available to any business today is Google's
AdWords Select advertising program. It
produces immediate results within minutes
after being setup, drives highly qualified
traffic via selected keywords and can be
monitored and modified on a 24/7 basis via
Google's excellent online interface. There
are no hidden fees - it costs a mere $5. USD
to setup a campaign and requires a credit
card submission at startup. We highly
recommend this interactive marketing process
to all of our clients and incorporate an
AdWords Select component with all of our
marketing campaigns.
Google's
Pricing Model
Google charges
you on a CPC ("Cost per Click") basis - you
only pay for each clickthrough to your web
site from Google's, no more no less. You
don't pay for "impressions" (number of times
someone views your ad) like many first
generation Internet advertising models -
it's truly a results driven marketing
process.
Keywords costs
can vary tremendously ranging from $.05 to
$11. USD or more per keyword - Google
assigns a "minimum cost per click" for
specific keywords based on "market value"
and "performance history" via Google's
AdWords Select program history. Be prepared
to pay a much higher rate for very popular
keywords and this is a moving target all of
the time - the more popular this program
becomes the more you will be forced to pay
for selected popular keywords.
Creating your
Sponsorship Ad
Your Ad's
position is based on a combination of the
CPC ("Cost per Click") you selected and
relevancy of your ad - if your ad and
keywords are relevant and drive
clickthroughs, then your ad will rise in
position on the sponsored column versus your
competitors. This is an innovative feature
and helps to distinguish Google's program
from all other PPC ("Pay per Click")
campaigns (Overture and their primary
competitors) - most of these programs have
an "economic bias" built into them; i.e.
whoever pays the highest fees gets the top
placement.
Dynamic Ad
Placement
Google's
unique AdWords Discounter keeps track of
your costs per click versus your
competitors. You select the maximum amount
you want to pay for your keywords and the
ranking algorithm keeps track of your
keyword costs, ensuring you only pay one
cent above the CPC ("Cost per Click") cost
you specified when you setup the campaign
versus your competitors.
Setup Process
- Sponsored Link Ad and Keywords
AdWords Select
is based upon driving highly targeted
traffic to a web site via a set of keywords
that are selected via Google's account
management interface. There are two primary
components to the setup process, creating
your "sponsored link" ad and selecting your
keywords. You start by creating a "sponsored
link" ad that is subsequently inserted into
Google's search results on the right hand
column - targeted by keywords that you have
selected. It only takes a few minutes to
have your campaign go "live" after you've
completed the setup process.
It's very
important to spend quality time creating
your sponsored link as this is the "online
ad" that people will view in the midst of
search results and competing sponsored links
(in some cases). You have the ability to
create a short headline coupled with two
lines of text with approximately 35
characters per line - the headline must be
succinct and hard hitting and the related
text should backfill the headline with
supporting words that convey what goods or
services your company provides.
Keyword
selection can be the most daunting task for
setting up a new campaign - be prepared to
spend some focused time working through
multiple keywords to find those that you can
afford. It typically takes 1-3 hours to find
10-20 keywords that are relatively low cost
- however, if your budget is open-ended and
you have sufficient marketing funds to pay
$1-8. USD per keyword then it can take much
less time. Your market focus is also another
important variable that can impact the
keyword selection process - if you're in a
narrow market niche with only a small number
of competitors then it is much easier and
faster to setup a campaign.
Finally, be
aware you can find some keywords that are
very inexpensive, but Google will disallow
these if they don't drive a minimum
clickthrough amount of roughly less than 1%
- you can start off with them, but they will
be turned off after 7-14 days if they aren't
driving sufficient clickthrough volume.
Wordtracker
Keyword Research Tool
You may want
to utilize other keyword analysis tools that
will give you a broader selection and help
you to understand what keywords are popular
and searched on, which in turn ensures the
keywords you do select will drive traffic
and will not be disallowed by Google.
Wordtracker (www.wordtracker.com) is an
industry standard keyword analysis tool that
those of us in the online advertising world
(and many others) have used for years to
help us understand what keywords are popular
- their service is very low cost and easy to
utilize via their web site.
