So now you are all set up. You seem to have your campaign set up for the next 6 months with all the keyword research done and the best keywords in place. However do not relax yet, now it is time to maintain your campaign. This is a critical part of PPC advertising that many people forget about.
While it would be nice to set up your campaign and just let it run by itself, that won't work. You'll have to track each of your ads and its activity to see how efficient and productive it is. There are plenty of ways to do this.
AdWords offers tools that'll help you calculate what percentage of traffic an ad brings in. You can use tools provided by your web host to find out which ads brought in traffic that actually led to sales. Remember - no web spider ever bought a product.
Why should you do this? A keyword ad that's not effective actually drains resources. If it's idle, it'll keep you from doing more effective thing. If it brings in traffic that doesn't lead to sales, you're paying for that traffic, but you get nothing out of it. Remember that you pay for every click, even if it doesn't lead to a sale.
Fortunately, there are things you can do about an ad that's not bringing in productive results. If you've put things together correctly, your ads will come up within the first five to ten pages of a search. The next thing to look at is whether or not the problem is the keyword you've chosen.
Initially most people think of popular keywords before they consider anything else. They feel that they will drive lots of traffic to their website. This is true but unfortunately this will not result in sales, because it is untargeted. Searchers use these popular keywords when they first start searching but these keywords do not usually take them to where they want to go.
Searchers using these general words are themselves confused about what they specifically need. They are shoppers and not necessarily buyers. The best keywords will bring in traffic from those who are shopping but will also target your specific market.
You should think about searching with your own keywords. The results may surprise you, as you view other sites that are using the same keyword. Be sure to check out the top 10 competitors in the search results. Look at their sites carefully and see if these are the right sites for your market. If they do not match your site you may have to adjust your keywords. Bear in mind if your keyword is wrong you can be losing money.
Detailed monitoring will let you know which keywords are performing well and which ones are failing. You will know which ones should be replaced and the ones that should stay. With good selections of keywords you can end up with ads that are very profitable. When you monitor your pay per click campaigns you will set yourself up for success. - 15431
