Well you are finally at the top of the mountain. You have done all the leg work; positioning your ads, selecting keywords, studying bidding options and doing your marketing research. added to this is the fact that you have been smart enough to utilize Google's great keyword research tools. You seem to have set up your advertising campaign for the next 6 months! Now what else is left to do?
Do not think you are finished because your work has just begun. Tracking your ads is your number one priority. When you do this you will be able to gage the actual productivity of each ad and ensure maximum performance.
The first one is by tracking every detail of your ad. There is a great tracking system on Adwords itself. Just looking at your campaign will tell you which keyword is bringing in traffic and you can also set up the system to track sales conversions, if you have your own product or service. You can co-ordinate this with your website tools to track leads and sales.
You will need to be aware of this, as a failing Adword campaign will eat up your advertising budget. It will not only waste your money but will prevent you from concentrating on the ads that are pulling, and bring in worthless leads. After all you will still be paying money for your unproductive ad.
So what do you do with a failing ad? If you have positioned it correctly and it is being seen in the first 5-10 pages you might want to look at the keywords. It is a great temptation to use a popular keyword to draw in more traffic to the ad. This is based on the concept of supply and demand.
Unfortunately frequently searched keywords are not always targeted for your specific market. They are the keywords that searchers begin their search with but not necessarily the ones that will bring potential customers to your website.
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. - 16492
