Key concepts in Google pay-per-click advertising


Choosing the right keywords Bidding the right amount

Writing an advert that appeals to the user

It is vitally important to understand that each keyword is its own unique target audience. While it is true that two users searching for the same thing may type different keywords and that in a long list of keywords many will be pure synonyms of each other, it is also true that a long list of keywords will appeal to a wide range of target audiences, and a one-advert-fits-all approach will not work.

To be effective each advert (or at least each group of pure synonyms) should have its own advert appealing specifically to what the users are looking for. So, for example, if your product is apples, the keyword “Red Apples” might have an advert proclaiming how bright, red and shiny your apples are, while the keyword “Apple Sauce” might focus on the juiciness and general apple-sauciness of your apples.

Using adverts that target the specific user’s interests will greatly improve your click-through rate. This is important not only to get you more visitors to your site, but Google rewards high click-through rates with greater prominence for your adverts – in other words not only will you get more visitors, but they will cost less.
