Managing Adwords – Hints To Selecting Keywords
You will captivate and draw in your customer when you engage in the conversation going on right now inside her head. You can accomplish this with Google, and receive more clicks also by skillful use of the keywords for your ad. Attract more customers by bidding on more keywords – this is a fundamental rule for managing AdWords.
The one thing that you can do that will draw clients to you is to show them that you know just what they like. This is like joining a conversation in his head, telling him what his day was like, what it is like to be him. When you flow right into his mind and speak his talk and walk his walk, showing him you know what things are important to him. When he sees this that’s when he will listen to you.
From the conversations in their minds, people draw the keywords that are typed in for search. When your ad says just what they are thinking, then you’ll grab their interest. Therefore when you have your keywords showcased in the headline, body and URL of your ad you are practicing sound advertising strategies.
The more places in your ad that you have keywords showing up, the superior your chances of getting the clicks. That means the headline. That might mean the body of the ad. That even means the display URL. If someone types in “German” or “Learn German,” notice how many times they’ll see their keyword in this ad:

When powerful Adwords Management equals knowing what people are searching for and sending it right back to them in the form of an ad, where do you look to find what it is they’re searching for. How do you find the great keywords and more importantly the keywords that can boost profits?
The best place to start is on Overture’s Keyword Selector Tool, a free service available at: http://inventory.overture.com. You can get an immediate idea of the value of your keywords and their value in relation to each other.

One look at this list and it’s obvious where the traffic and money will be. It’s also obvious that you’ve got keywords here that don’t belong.
Without spending a dime it is already clear what your most prominent negative keywords are. Negatives are the keyword you want to specifically keep your ad from showing when someone uses them to search. Just put them in your list beginning with a negative. Such as:
-dog
-puppy
-shepherd
-pointer
-dictionary
-translator
-translation
-hair
-etc.
Anytime someone has this word in a search, your ad won’t show up.
So how much will these keywords actually cost to bid on? To get your answer, head over to the Yahoo Resource Center, which you can find at www.overture.com, and click to see the “Bids Tool.” When you enter “learn German” in the pop-up search box, Overture gives you a list of the prices advertisers are paying to promote their products on Yahoo sites. They start at $0.47 and bottom out at $0.05.
Of course, this is Overture, not Google. At the time of this writing, positions on Yahoo’s search pages are determined by bids and bids only, whereas on Google you get preferential treatment for having an especially good click-through rate, and the competition, and the nature of the traffic, are different.
Not to worry though. This tool is only an initial indicator of what kind of business advertisers are getting from their clicks on Yahoo. This example says advertisers wouldn’t pay more than forty-seven cents for a click for “learn German”. This is an indicator. Contrast that with “home mortgage” where bids top off at $4 and you can see how lucrative, or not, “learn German” is.
