For those people experienced in the Adwords scene, the keywords are the most important thing. Getting profitable keywords and drawing in clients is the make or break factor for them.
An unsuccessful AdWords campaign can lead to hundreds of dollars in wasted advertising as their ads fail to draw in productive leads but still generate plenty of idle interest among the portion of internet browsers with little else to do but browse through the “Sponsored Ads” to see what there is to see.
What isn’t known by this group of people is that luck doesn’t come into play and careful research doesn’t guarantee success also.
Of course taking a look at the database of a search engine will reveal the keywords that attracted the most business in a given time period; but the keywords are going to produce tons of results pages because they are popular. Internet searchers aren’t going to look past 5 or 10 pages. So anything beyond that point is not going to be seen.
It is evident that an ad must be among the first pages to be assured of some kind of success. What does that have to do with keywords? To be assured of their ads showing up on the first 5 or 10 pages, those very prime spots, a marketer will have to have one of the higher bids on that keyword.
Of course that indicates that a higher price will be required for each click on the ads if we want to stay on the first pages and not end up on the other ninety nine.
Well who cares if you have to pay a little more per click? You should because every time that that ad is clicked on you have to pay that amount even if you aren’t getting any sales off of it and that could mean a very large deficit in the ad budget. That’s why each ad has to function at peak performance so that you can justify the expense.
For each ad to be successful it is important that the keyword be as successful as possible.
An optimal keyword should be narrow enough so that it can narrow the field down (like “little league football” rather than “football“) but you also want it to be broad enough that someone would actually search for it.
