Google Adwords - the Basics Behind This PPC Advertising Program and How you Can Get Inexpensive, Targeted Traffic

Google Adwords is by far the most popular PPC advertising platform on the Internet. The reasons are simple: a well-designed user interface, a large number and variety of publishers, display the ads, and above all a long history of positive ROI for advertisers. Adwords can be intimidating and new users, but it's really not very difficult, the skills you need to learn how to get started.

This article is meant to be a basic introduction to Adwords. So if you are already very familiar with it, this might be review. The first problem most people have with Adwords is setting to and sticking with a budget. Most people get frustrated because they haven't bid enough for their clicks, resulting in their ads having a low position. After a couple days of poor results, most new advertisers quickly increase their bids and the results is a pile of expensive traffic that brings back little, if any, return. When you make your Adwords account, set a small budget. Use keyword tools (many of which are available on the links page of this website) to determine which searches are most popular and try to find searches that other advertisers haven't thought of. This is the best way of getting cheap traffic to your website(s), since less competition means lower cost per click.

However, cheap traffic is not necessarily good traffic. Let me repeat that again, just because you are getting cheap clicks from Adwords does not mean you are using your advertising dollars effectively. Targeted traffic is the key. If your website is selling software tutorials and you bid on phrases such as “free software” or “download photoshop” you might very well get many, many visitors (very inexpensively), but I can guarantee that your conversion rate (sales/visitor) will be horrible. Even key phrases like “free tutorials” will fail to create a positive return. Generally, never use the word “free” in your ads, unless you are actually giving something away for free. Users will click, costing you money, but are almost never interested in shelling out cash for a product.

Conversely, if you use the words "buy" or "buy" key phrases will reduce the number of clicks you receive, but certainly will increase the conversion rate and return on investment. Let us go back to my earlier example, the key phrases in the tender, such as "buy website making tutorial" or "Professional Photoshop Tutorial", allowing you to purchase your product sales and are willing to spend money, if your product meets their needs a sense of Interested visitors.
