Part II
One huge mistake people make when using Adwords is they include a limit with their daily campaigns. It's common for people like this to figure out how much traffic they'll get each day for a certain keyword and they'll set a day limit of 4-5 figures each day. And when they check back, it's just too late; they've already spent thousands of dollars in clicks, without getting any good conversions. If you want to avoid this, set your daily limits lower and be realistic about how much traffic will come to your site. Then, once you're clear, you can increase it as needed. This will not only cause you to be stressed less, but you will be able to grow your campaigns bit by bit.
Choose the keywords for your AdWords campaigns carefully, and make sure you don't use keywords that are too broad to be relevant. It will be tempting at first because many keywords will look like they are related to your campaign and you would want to include them. If you want your AdWords campaigns to be profitable, however, remember that finding the best keywords is the most important part of the process. Figure out who your target market is. think like someone in this group and ask yourself what they'd be searching for. Use free online services such as Wordtracker or Google's keyword tool to find keywords, or have a brainstorming session with someone who can help you. You can proceed to the next phases of your campaign once your keywords have been chosen. The landing page you use is the most important part of Adwords. You ask why? Your goal is to send targeted traffic to your site and then have them convert into buyers. You'll only be tossing your money down the drain. In order to have a good landing page and see high conversions, you'll have to test it along with your ads. If you have a landing page that is underperforming, you should try to change little things about it first, such as the design, to see what's working. Therefore, it's not just the landing page that needs testing, but the elements that comprise the page must be tested, also. Once you know what's working and what's not, you can pump in more money in that campaign to grow it further.
Leaving your keywords out of the ad's body is another frequently seen AdWords mistake. Keywords should be used in both the ad copy and the title. This is important to increase the response of your ad. Some ads have well written copy, but they fail to include the most important keywords in the body of the ad. People who read your ad should have a clear idea of what you're offering. Your landing page is also critical for conversions, and it has to be relevant to your ad in order to achieve a good Google Quality rating.
Turning off the content network is the best option when you're first creating a campaign. This feature is mainly good for experts, and the default setting is on. This is a type of contextual advertising in which Google puts your ads on partner sites it deems relevant. For the most part, you won't get a good enough click through rate with this method to make it worthwhile. You will see impressions but the CTR will be poor. Many of the click throughs you do get will not convert well, as they tend to be more browsers than buyers. If you've tried everything and you still haven't seen the results you expected, you may just be committing some mistakes that you now know about. Don't be that person who just tries Adwords and then quits because you don't get results, and instead track your progress so you can see what actually works and what doesn't. So before you jump into AdWords, make sure you have a list of mistakes to keep your campaigns safe.
