Google Analytics and Google AdWords

Google provides a quick, effective and hassle-free way for merchants to advertise their products and services in the Internet through Google AdSense, a cost-per click and cost-per impression advertising service, where ads are displayed along search and content sites and search results done in the Google network. Merchants will be charged when online users click on the ads that are shown. Keywords are chosen in which the ads will appear, and the merchants will specify on how much they are willing to shell out for each click.

There are various benefits that advertisers can get from utilizing Google AdWords. Unlike other online advertising channels, AdWords enables the advertiser to do away with deadlines and contracts. Google's kind of advertising does not ask prepayment and packages. It is by this method that merchants can manage their advertising campaigns with their preferred performance metrics.

The service gives maximum exposure for advertisers due to the sheer number of visitors acquired by the various sites included in the Google network. Advertisements are displayed along search and content sites and products in audience comprising about 80% Internet users in the U.S. Ads appear beside search results or occupying a space in a results page a user navigates through to get to a site directory.

Google's own electronic mail service, Gmail, also features the ads.

To make the service more advantageous for advertisers, AdWords has integrated with Google Analytics. Google Analytics informs advertisers information such as the channels to which online visitors located their ads and the manner they react and interact with the site. The service enables merchants gain more visitors to their pages. Google Analytics also monitors the activities of merchants that are not related to AdWords, without any charge at all. With Analytics, one can create marketing campaigns that are target-centered and ROI-driven.

The initial announcement that Google is offering this service alongside AdWords has caused a considerable buzz among users. Advertisers have been on their toes deciding whether or not to avail of the new product. A lot of users have started to investigate what sets Google Analytics apart from other analytics companies such as WebTrends and Coremetrics. The tool got so in demand that Google has to temporarily stop interested parties from registering. By the time they decided to do so, over 200,000 accounts have been created.

The service is free for those sites that attract 5 million or less page views. For those sites that garner more views, it is necessary to register for a Google AdWords account. Registration is fast, it takes about only seven minutes to do so (less if the advertiser already has a Gmail email account.) The Help option is functional enough, and the system is available in multiple languages. Plus, Google placed importance in protecting the corporate data of each account, knowing that data regarding web analytics is extremely delicate.

Google Analytics became so popular in its initial launch due to several reasons: First, the fact that Google, a cyberspace giant, is offering it for free. Costs only occurs when the page starts to attract more than 5 million page views. The service is highly functional and has good features, which are more advanced than other analytics tools. Operations like Javascript and Flash events, PDF downloads can be tracked. Though there are doubts that Google will gain advantage from their offer to monitor outside ventures of the merchants, the company stresses otherwise.

Admittedly, some problems came up for Google due to the immense popularity of the service. It took almost a whole day or more for some data to load into the interface of Google Analytics, in fact some data takes more. There are also some difficulties with support infrastructure.

For those who are considering availing of the service, there are some possible concerns that need to be considered, that stems from it being a live or tag-based reporting software. The main issue with tools such as Google Analytics is that downloaded data like audio and video files and PDF may not thoroughly monitored.

Google Analytics is one channel for Google to take care of their advertisers and any other marketer who wishes to make good quality material on the web. The service is capable of delivering high-end web analytics to advertisers, and its integration with AdWords provides timesaving benefits.

Making Money with Google Adwords

When talking about the Internet as a legitimate place for trade and commerce, one can’t help but speculate the costs a company runs in advertising campaigns in hopes of building a viable online market.

However, Google, Inc., the company behind the runaway success search engines, outdid itself when it launched its two-fold advertising programs—Google Adwords and Google Adsense. In essence, these two advertising programs allows for both advertisers and websites that host advertisements to make money with usage.

What is Google Adwords?

Google Adwords is the advertising program devised by Google on the basis of a Pay-Per-Click system. Under the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) system, an advertiser only pays for his or her ad placement when a searcher comes upon his or her ad and actually clicks on the link, regardless of sale or purchase. This means that the advertisement virtually runs continuously on various websites at the cost only of the number of people who visit their site! This removes the exorbitant fees other commercial websites would put upon an advertiser when he or she wishes to put up an ad there, even if he or she generates no traffic at all from that ad placement.

How does Google Adwords work?

What advertisers do when signing up for Google Adwords is also designing a textual advertisement of the product or service they are offering. They also submit a list of relevant keywords to the service or product they offer. These advertisements will appear on the right-hand side of a Google page.

However, one may have guessed that the huge volume of businesses under various categories may indeed end up with similar keywords in mind for submission in Google Adwords. In determining which company gets which keywords, Google Adwords devised a bidding system for keywords alongside a content relevancy system.

In the bidding system, advertisers bid and compete for advertisers. Auctioning off keywords usually start at around 5 cents, and it is through this system that various advertisers try to outbid their competition. However, owing to the fact that this may seem as though relevance and advertising placements are completely based on an advertiser buying his or her place, Google Adwords also takes into consideration through an automated computer system the relevance of the content of the website to the keywords submitted to the system.

How does Google Adwords look like after all this work?

The Google ad appears usually on the right-hand side of the page that’s signed up to host various Google Adwords advertisements. The company’s advertisement will appear only when the keywords under which it ad was listed was directly searched for by the web searcher. Again, payment for the advertisement placement only happens once the searcher clicks on the ad.

How can one minimize the costs of the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) system while maximizing profits from sales and purchases?

Google Adwords, unfortunately, is not a no-brainer earning system for a company advertising products or services. It requires a little bit more common sense; after all, it is of interest to minimize still the costs of the Pay-Per-Click system. If searchers keep clicking on ads without these clicks turning into tangible purchases, a company would end up paying more to Google than receiving profits from the traffic brought in to the website.

Simply put, minimizing PPC system costs will only happen if the more serious buyers are the ones clicking the advertisements put up on Google Adwords.

The first step into making this scenario happen is by not being in the top portion of the preferred keywords. While indeed, being on the top three of the most preferred links would generate more clicks than placing lower in the ranks, it would also mean inviting the clicks of a variety of searchers—the interested buyers, the curious searchers, the leisurely searchers not really looking for anything in particular, and the searchers completely clueless about what they are looking for and would keep on just clicking on to find out more.

Obviously, without targeting the people clicking on the advertisements, the PPC system costs will add up, without necessarily meaning purchases.

However, by being in the latter portion of the list, there is a greater propensity that the traffic being generated comprises those searchers who are seriously seeking to purchase a product or service. Even being on the second page of the search page may not be a bad thing; after all, these are the search pages found only by those who are seriously out to buy a product, and are those accessed by usually the more informed and intelligent buyers.

Moreover, sales will be greatly maximized by increasing relevance of content in the website and keeping all the links alive. By having more relevant and targeted content, a company avoids having its advertisements being clicked by people who get confused as to what the advertisement really is for. Live links keep assuring relevant traffic flows into the site, and even the continued featuring of the advertisement on other pages.

At the end of the day, Google Adwords is a viable tool in order to increase traffic to one’s e-business if used in the most efficient way possible. By minimizing irrelevant clicks and instead targeting those who are truly looking to purchase a product or service, a company can best assure the profits they collect would be much greater than the costs they have to pay for each click on their Google Ad.

Understanding Google Adwords

Adwords is coined from the phrase 'advertising keyword'. Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Alta Vista and many others use the accessibility of the Internet to provide companies with a medium by which they can advertise to a specific target market.

Google adwords give companies a cheap yet effective way to advertise the products and services that they offer. One advantage is that, instead of making it a "hit or miss" campaign, this advertising strategy actually targets a specific audience.

Take the following as an example. Jeff, an 11-year-old student in the United States, is surfing the Internet for related articles about a science project so he would go to www.google.com.

Upon typing in the keyword 'science project' and pressing Enter, Jeff would see a list of search results on the left side. On the other side. he would see a list of 'sponsored links' which are related to the topic that he is researching about.

The sponsored links are actually the adwords which are offered by Google, and if you are an advertiser and you get this service from them, then you would have to pay Google based on the number of clicks that the link gets.

Once Jeff sees a particular link that he is interested in, it will lead him to a company's web site. The beauty of the Internet is instant access.

Once Jeff finds out a particular web site where there are a lot of helpful hints, links, and articles that can be useful for his school assignment, then he can easily give out the web site to his friends.

This would create more hits to your web site, increase traffic, create more leads and finally result to more sales.

The benefits of Google Adwords to Advertisers

With adwords in a search engine such as Google, you can enjoy the following benefits:

1. you can control your company's advertising costs by having a set budget

2. you can create your own advertising campaign and advertising content

3. you can monitor and control traffic

4. test campaigns can be conducted to determine whether an advertising strategy works or not

5. Google adwords appear on a different side of the screen so the users would know that the link is paid for

6. you can target a specific market with Google adwords

The rule of thumb is, a higher payment for an adword would put your link in a higher position on the link.

However, you still need to view things from Google's perspective. Google would want to profit from your company’s advertising campaign.

If a particular sponsored link does not live up to Gooogle's expectations and do not gather enough numbers, then the link can be eliminated. Take a look at the guidelines set by Google to make their adwords work to your benefit.

'How to Create Google Adwords and Make them Work for your Company'

The first step is to open a Google adword account. Beforehand, you should have a specific target market and it is very important to consider the following factors: age group, social class and gender of your target market, as well as the language and target country.

Make sure that your product is geared towards the region where your products and services are offered.

Also, it is important to set a budget range for a Google adword campaign. Selecting keywords is quite crucial as this would determine the results of your advertising campaign.

Have a clear understanding of the guidelines set by Google about adwords. Make sure that you bid a good enough amount so that your link will be at least on the top three position once a user types in the keyword.

Once you have enticed Internet users to visit your web site, your job does not stop there. You should have a very systematic web server log. You might have thousands of visitors but how may of them would actually stay and lead to sales if they leave your site immediately?

Use every click to your advantage and make sure that your web site is designed in such a way that nobody leaves without getting at least a lead, if not a downright or absolute sale.

Finally, you should learn how to use the tracking tools offered by Google to have a better idea about the keywords that work. Once you have an idea of which keywords work for your target market, then you can revise your advertising campaign to get better results.

Google adwords is a very effective, easy and affordable way to advertise the products and services that your company offers and you should learn how to make their guidelines work to your advantage, to increase your sales and benefit your company.

Same Game, New Rules: Online Advertising with Google AdWords API

You’ve probably heard over the grapevine something called Google AdWords API. Just three little letters and yet, it is a big thing to those who know what it means. But just before you’re told what API means, here’s a quick description of what AdWords is and how it works:

When you conduct a search on Google, you will find that along the listings on the results page are text ads. These ads are what Google calls AdWords. These ads are placed by businesses, which have signed on with Google on the AdWords program. The kinds of ads shown are relevant to the topic you looked up.

Google, however, does not charge for simply showing the ads. The advertiser will pay only when a Google user clicks on the ad. The cost per click (CPC) is determined via bidding where the advertisers value a keyword’s CPC depending on how popular and how often the keyword is used. Basically, the principle is that the more popular the keyword is, the higher the CPC becomes.

This setup has made it so that business, big and small alike, can conduct an effective and cost-efficient advertising campaign online. However, even good things can become better. And this is why Google has introduced AdWords API to its advertisers.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. But before you get intimidated with the term, think of it as simply a means by which Google allows its advertisers to manage their AdWords campaign with a lot more efficiency and flexibility.
Before API, Google advertisers had little to no control over the frequency, schedule, and location their ads are shown. That is not to say that the results are disappointing. In fact, there are a lot of satisfied advertisers who get impressive results with AdWords as is.

But there are some advertisers who would like to have a bigger hand on how, when and to whom are their ads are being shown and this is where API comes in.

Through the API, companies and businesses advertising on Google are given the opportunity to connect their own computer systems to Google’s (particularly the AdWords server). This allows the advertisers the ability to manage their text ads in matters like as delivery and pricing of their ads.

This ability may spell a huge change for Google. It will allow a change from a company that provides an online service to one that will be able to offer a venue for delivering ads all over the world.

Some experts even say it is not far removed now for the company to step into commercial transactions with the API. That means it may be possible that some day companies like eBay may find themselves competing against Google. (But that, of course, are speculations as of now.)

Currently, Google AdWords API is only available to its advertisers, excluding the Google AdSense affiliates. Initially, Adwords API benefits companies that already have in their employ personnel with the necessary technical skills to interact with the AdWords server. Programming skills, in particular, are required to do exactly that.

However, it is foreseen that in the near future the demand for this programming knowledge will create a market for a third party service that will be able to cater to companies who may not be able to have their own programmers but would still like to avail of the flexibility AdWords API offers.

So how exactly would an API benefit an advertiser?

If you’re at all familiar with how complex an online advertising campaign can get, you would know that it is typical for an advertiser to hold and conduct several campaigns at the same time. Managing this can be a complex and daunting task since each campaign can contain several AdWords, which in turn contains several keywords. It is not uncommon to find an advertiser needing to manage thousands of keywords at any given time.

Not only do you need to manage how the ads are delivered, you also need to know what campaigns work and which AdWords generate the most hits, which in turn reflects which keywords produce the best results. This is necessary so that an advertiser can focus his advertising budget to the keywords and campaigns that generates the most business.

Before API, doing that has been generally a straightjacket experience since the programs used to manage the ads are not customized to the business’ particular needs. What little information is generated is usually unable to answer specific questions each business asks to conduct an efficient campaign.

Google, having thousands of advertisers, cannot cater to each and every one. But to keep them happy, Google has allowed them access and the freedom to create programs to do what they want (within specific boundaries, of course).

Put in more layman’s terms, it is much like the owner of a restaurant allowing you the use of the kitchen and the staff to make your meal exactly the way you want it.

Applications that manage campaigns, report functions and track traffic are just some of the features developers can create for Google advertisers with the API.

Google AdWords API primarily uses SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), WDSL (Web Service Description Language) and SSL (Secure Server Location) as its core technologies. It currently supports Java, Perl, .NET, XML and PHP.

To protect overtaxing servers, a quota system is implemented. The quota limits the number of actions you can perform over Google’s servers for a given period. These actions are monitored by Google and if an advertiser feels that he needs an increased quota to manage his campaign more effectively, a request can be put through to Google for assessment.

The API also allows advertisers to create a system where multiple users can log into a single AdWords account to perform varied functions. The advertiser can then manage and set limits to the movements of their own staff when transacting with Google’s servers.

Google AdWords API is a big step not only for Google itself, but for its advertising partners as well. It introduces new rules that make for a more interesting playing field. The question of how far this innovation will take this industry can only be answered by the players themselves. Until then, the rest of the world will look on with much interest.

Tips to Succeed in Google Adwords

Each year, more and more companies use an adword campaign as their main medium when it comes to advertising over the Internet.

An adword campaign is an easy, cheap yet effective way to market a company's products and services.

At the same time, it offers better results as the campaign is geared towards keyword density while aiming directly for a specific market.

With regular print and broadcast advertising, you have to think of ways for the ad to directly hit your target market.

With an adwords campaign, you do not have to spend much effort since the medium itself is hitting your audience right where you want them to be hit: which is by clicking on a direct link to your web site once a keyword is typed into a search engine.

With popular search engines such as Google offering a fairly reasonable amount for keyword hits, both small and big companies are turning to adword campaigns for their advertising needs.

The problem is, since adword campaigning has gained popularity, there lies a challenge to bid for the top spot.

The competition has become fierce when it comes to emerging on the top three positions on the list once a keyword is entered.

Unless you want to be at the end of a search list, you need to come up with a straightforward and effective Google adword campaign.

At the end of the day, you would want to see the results of the adword campaign so here are some helpful tips on how you can emerge victorious against these challenges:

1. Create a Google adwords campaign and use it effectively.

Offering adword campaign services is Google's main cup of tea, and they will profit from you whether your company earns from these campaigns or not.

You would not want to just give your money to Google without gaining any results so the key here is to use the tools that they offer to your advantage.

Once a web surfer types in a keyword on Google and clicks Search, there are 'Sponsored Links' displayed and with each click, the advertiser needs to pay Google.

If you are an advertiser and you decide to use Google's adword campaign, study their guidelines and use the tracking tools that they offer to know which keywords get the most hits or matches.

Then, you can revise your campaign so that it will be more applicable to address a specific market.

2. Use the tools to target your audience.

Setting up an account in Google adwords would require you to key in the languages and location that you prefer.

This is very important because if you do not set this up properly, then your products and services might be offered to a region or country wherein you do in not currently operate.

Thus, you would gain you more advertising costs which would not yield any results if you are not properly addressing your target market.

If you have clients in a bilingual region or if you operate in another country, choose the languages used in that location.

This Google feature gives you more control when it comes to targeting a specific audience.

3. Compose and design your ad.

In creating your adwords campaign, make sure that you have a clear understanding of Google's guidelines. You would like users to click on your ad if they find it interesting enough.

Of course, your web site will only be linked to related keywords so it is vital to focus on that as well.

When composing an ad, make it brief, informative and attention-grabbing all at the same time.

Bear in mind that it does not necessarily mean that once a visitor goes to your web site, they will stay there for a long time.

Your web site should be designed to convince people to take advantage of the products and services that you offer before they leave.

Otherwise, you would have a lot of hits on your web site but end up with a lot of misses on marketing and sales opportunities.

4. Choose the correct keyword.

This is one of the most difficult parts when it comes to the adword campaign process.

Use all the resources that you have to come up with the keywords that will lead to a hit on your web site. Use lay man’s terms as much as possible.

Put yourself in the shoes of a student or a housewife surfing the Internet. Unless the user is really tech-savvy, then he or she will just use everyday words and avoid technical terms. Google features a tool where keyword suggestions are offered.

Vary your keywords from time to time as you learn which ones yield the most hits. This would also give you more results because users may enter keywords differently even when they are searching for the same topics.

By coming up with a gameplan on how you can use Google adwords to spice up your advertising campaign, then you would most likely be on top of the list once Internet users key in a word which is related to the products and services that you offer.

This would yield more profit for you and your company, without having to dole out millions in advertising campaigns through other mediums.

Secrets of google adwords

In the world of web advertising. None has generated more consumer response than by pay-per-click (PPC) advertising.

The advantage of PPC advertising is its inherent flexibility. Traffic arrives instantly from actual users and performance is measured in real time.

Currently, Google and Yahoo! are two giants that dominate the field. Google Adwords is a pay-per-click advertising engine that makes use of its largely popular search engine to encourage browsers to access client websites for a minimal fee. It currently has the largest distribution network compared to Yahoo! and the prices are relatively competitive with results.

For the advertiser considering this form of marketing, using pay-per-click strategies can be a daunting task. But the advertiser just needs to keep in mind a few pointers before plunging headlong into the fray.

1. Create ads with a high click-through rate. Click-through rate is the measure of relevancy in Google Adwords. The more people who enter your site means in theory that more people find your site’s content relevant to their search.

2. Choose your keywords carefully. Keywords are the links to which browsers will be able to find your site. Bids are often placed for the most-used keywords and oftentimes the prices for these words escalate to unbelievable proportions.

It would actually be better to take some time to step into the head of your target market and get a feel of what words they would put in the search engine to solve their problems. For example, for people trying to buy motor oil online they would usually enter “motor oil” into the search.

A more creative bidder can use other keywords that are also relevant to the subject, which the browser is most likely to enter as well like, “lube change”, “overhaul”, or “tune up”. The possibilities can be endless with a little imagination and role playing.

If you fine-tune the key phrases, your click-through rate will increase along with the relevancy of your site to the consumer. Being first in using a new keyword will also give the browser an impression that the bidder is the only solution to this problem.

3. List your site wisely. Google Adwords bidders have three ways of listing on its search engine.

Broad match – eat cheese – will run a search string with all words that have Google 1 Google 2 in it in any order. This will also display the results that have relative connection to the search like ate cheddar, eating cheese, cheese eating, etc.

Phrase Match - “eat cheese” – will run a search string that will display the results that match the exact phrase “eat cheese” in that one order only. It will return links that contain such phrases in sentences, lyrics, songs, etc.

Exact Match – [eat cheese] – is a more precise search will return a search string with only eat cheese in it and nothing else.

Furthermore, you can opt to exclude your site from searches made for keyword listing with a negative perception such as free, porn, cracks, hacks, etc. just add a “-“ at the start of the word (-free).

4. Syndicate. Google Adwords is a syndication so advertisers can choose to appear only in Google, its affiliates, or even other contextual engines. Depending on the company’s marketing strategy, you can also decide on which countries and languages to appear in.

5. Bid well. It is well advised that from the start it is wise to overbid slightly to get a more realistic exposure from the start. Because of good exposure, you can get a better feel on whether your click-through rate and keywords matches your market.

6. Geotargeting. Geotargeting is a Google service that lets you appear on search results for browsers of a desired geographical location. Places as big as regions to as small as cities can be targeted. Options are also available as to a specific radius of an area chosen.

7. Affiliates. In Google Adwords only one affiliate or seller ad can actually appear on a single landing page for every keyword. However, if affiliates can create a review for their site with significantly unique and relevant information, then the site can appear in the same page along with the seller ad.

8. Old fashioned hard work. Of course, nothing will ever get off the ground without creativity, hard work, luck, and spending a few more dollars on professional help.

Google Adwords must be taken as a tool in a box of tools for a company. This way, the company can manage to maximize all the markets it can reach on and off the web.

Internet Traffic Generation through Google Adwords

Marketing is one of the essentials of success in the field of business. Marketing is a dynamic field which involves using media to be able to get a promotional message across a target audience. The Internet has become a major tool in terms of marketing products and services.

There are many ways to market using the Internet such as email marketing and putting up affiliate programs. Different methods imply different results and conditions. The Google Adsense hype is one of the most popular and most effective ways to market through the Internet nowadays. Google, with its formidable array of services, has taken Internet marketing into a whole new level.

Google is one a key player in the field of search engines. It dominates the market and generates 75% of the Internet’s search traffic. With this kind of power at hand, it has been able to develop a new system which aims to promote Internet marketing as a whole.

What is Google Adwords?

The Google Adwords system displays advertisements from different participants whenever a keyword or a key phrase is searched through the Google search engine. The participants places their bids on the different keywords and the highest bidders will be displayed on the right-hand corner of the Internet browser. The highest bidders can also be featured in Google’s affiliates such as AOL and netscape.

This system provides optimum results for the price paid for the bid. The bidders are only charged for every click that is generated for their sites by Google. The participants also control their daily budget so as to avoid overspending. When the budget is exhausted for the day because the clicks which were generated exceeded the budget limit, the advertisement is automatically shut down by the system. This is indeed a very cost effective way of doing Internet marketing.

Traffic and Marketing

In the world of Internet marketing, generating site traffic is the key component to success. Websites are built to be viewed and perform such other functions such as to provide means of ordering a certain product or service.

Google Adwords provides a new way of generating traffic to one’s website. By strategic bidding and careful designing of the advertisements, one can get closer to generating sales and income.

Advertisement

The Google Adwords advertisements are generally very short and concise. This is a good way of putting different advertisements on a single search page even though it poses a challenge to the different advertisers.

The advertisements are composed of two things: a title line and a body. The title line should contain a maximum of 25 characters and the body should have less than 2 lines containing 35 characters each. The real challenge is packaging the marketing message in a way that it a) attracts the attention of the targeted audience and b) entices them enough to click the link to the webpage.

Title

Title lines are very important. Many movies have been successful because they generated curiosity because of their titles. This is true for advertisements to be used in Google Adwords. They should be concise and attractive. They should never be misleading so as to avoid future problems.

Body

The body of the advertisement is the heart and soul of the statement. Basic information which is useful for the target audience should be placed in the body to give a general guide on what the site contains.

Keywords

To be able to generate traffic, one must be able to determine the right keywords and key phrases which should be employed. The Google Adwords system asks the participants what keywords they would like to bid on. Bidding on the wrong keywords will only lead to a waste of time and money.

There are different resources out there such as “overture” which help in the assessment of target phrases. They show the different keywords and corresponding hits through search engines. This information is very important in developing a strategy in the Google Adwords system.

Combination

One should be able to determine the right keyword or the right key phrases to be able to optimize the traffic that is to be generated. The keywords should be specific to the product and should reflect its features. Using the words “free,” “cheap,” “discount” can be helpful if they are applicable to the product.

The Google Adwords system is a great way to generate traffic. However, one must study the system before putting serious amounts of money into it. It is a pricing game and no one would want to lose a lot of money for marketing efforts which are not suitable to their endeavors.

Pros and cons of google adwords

Search engines have always been a part of the Web landscape as increasing complexities of retrieving information from the Web make it more difficult for regular users. In the past, the toss up for search supremacy has been pretty neck-and-neck. Now Google is the acknowledged king of the hill.

Google has so far been a rising meteor as dot-com companies go. When the bubble burst on tech stocks, Google has navigated to safer waters with its savvy marketing, shrewd technological advances, and a gamut of user-friendly features that cater to the whim of its consumers.

Most of the revenue of Google comes from solicitations from its clients through the use of Google Adwords. Tied with its Search Engine function, Google Adwords piggybacks on the search results to give the user an opportunity to go to a relevant company website.

Google Adwords can be described as a pay-per-click service that can draw traffic to client websites. Depending on the client’s budget, Google can scale the exposure of the ad, leveraging its frequently used search engine to draw interest from consumers.

Advantages of Google Adwords include:

1. Reach. Adwords claims that about 80% of internet users alone and uncountable browsers abroad can be reached through its advertising on the Google Search Engine. This is a powerful advantage when on a budget but need to reach as many people as possible to get the fastest returns.

Google is a well-known household word. Brand retention is high and is one of the first engines to be used online for searches. Furthermore, its affiliation with other major and strategic search engines means that Adwords can also appear on those sites, exponentially increasing exposure.

2. Cost. The cost of using Adwords is, in a word, manageable. Cost is a primary concern for companies, and here Google’s strategy makes it easy for the user to control their costs.

Google only charges clients of Adwords for every click on the client website. There is no minimum cost for usage and the client can specify how much their budget is per day between 1 US cent to $100 dollars per click.

3. Timing. Google Adwords places the advertiser in the right place at the right time. The customer is on Google looking for something to answer a question or to find out something about an item. This places the browser in a mood that is open to selling offers. Adverts are where selling decisions are constantly being made.

4. Flexibility. Adwords can get up on the web in as little as 15 minutes. When trends in consumer behavior change, advertisers on Adwords are agile enough to change with them at the turn of a dime. Changing Adwords is free.

Furthermore, Google is present in other geographical locations and languages. Adwords can also specifically target these users depending on the campaign.

5. Tutorials. Adwords has a large array of helps and tutorials available to the starting advertiser. The user can even control the cost of advertising for initial experimentation and eventually kick up the cost once confidence in the engine increases due to actual results.
Disadvantages of using Adwords may include:

1. Every click to the company website is a charge on the company’s part. Even if the browser makes a purchase or not from the site. Depending on the product, sometimes your visitors can be varied ranging from your competition to researchers, to kids having a ball.

2. Delinquency in payments for Adwords can immediately remove your presence from the Google web engine.

3. No competitor data comparison is shared by Google Adwords. As a company policy, Google does not disclose the performance of other companies that may have the same service or product as yours.

PPC Advertising for Maximum Web Promotion

Engaging in pay-per-click (PPC) advertising has its own benefits and drawbacks. But what exactly is PPC advertising and what it can do to your business?

Business nowadays is doing different kinds of austerity measures when it comes to advertising their products and services. This is because of high rates of placing ads on print and on television. But there is a fast growing approach that businessmen can utilize to bring their services closer to the people and that is through Internet Marketing.

One tool that is causing internet marketing popularity is PPC advertising. This is a technique used in search engine marketing that requires one to pay a fee every time someone clicks an ad on your website. Usually this placement is done through a bidding process. If you are a top bidder for your keywords/phrases, you are sure to be on the number one spot on all search engines. Just be sure of the effectiveness of your ad copy to get the most number of clicks you need for your business.

Here are the benefits of PPC advertising are:

1. You need not be a genius in computer and technology to be able to run this ad campaign.
2. Immediate results are seen after a few days.
3. No need to make a website conform to the SEO rules.
4. Nothing to lose even if you do not top the pages of different search engines. You can still always choose PPC advertising.
5. You can make use any search engine available.
6. You can type in any keyword you like.

Cons of PPC advertising includes:

1. Fixed payments every month to the search engine you choose.
2. Pay for each click received by your website. At times, visitors are just competitors or people playing pranks on search engines. This hassle wastes money you put in to this advertising.
3. Inability to pay for the fees next month would mean removal of your website on the paid listings.
4. This advertising can only be used temporarily because it is difficult to handle in the long run.
5. Pay-per-click pricing can be costly for long periods of time, therefore, this should be stopped after an ad campaign.

But how exactly PPC advertising can increase traffic, leads and sales?

PRE-QUALIFIED TRAFFIC. All visitors of your website are already considered as a qualified consumer or buyer of your product. PPC advertising leads your customers to you for a lesser cost.

INSTANT EXPOSURE, IMMEDIATE PROFITS. PPC search engines enable you to get your desired results fast. They will have your website live within just a few hours which means immediate increase in sale.

CONSISTENT TOP LISTINGS. This is to get your website on top of the sponsored search results for free. You just have to choose the keywords related to your site and business and place them within your web pages. After this, you are done.

PPC advertising enables advertisers to control their advertising campaigns. Advertisers have effectively targeted their audience and set their own price per click. PPC advertising networks provide the platform to identify the desired audience by geographic setting, topic and industry. These networks have a list of websites of the publishers where the ads will be placed.

Tools are provided by the networks to check how the pay per click limit is working for a certain advertiser. If its still competitive, would it be even listed among the paid search lists or does it generate sales? Of course, if the advertiser made the highest bid, the better chances the ad will be seen in the search engine. These networks too provide protection for the advertisers against click fraud. This advertising set-up allows advertisers to set a daily budget for his ads, thus, less spending for unnecessary clicks. Advertiser will never go over his budget.

In PPC advertising, what are important are the keywords and phrases. You have to select at least ten "very specific" keywords that would give you the best traffic in the search. Then, write the ad creatively but straightforward. Tell the truth about your product or service and do not lie. Good thing if your product or service will not disappoint those that are relying on your ad's promise - but what if it did otherwise? Important too is the clarity of the ad. Do not use very vague languages. Include important details like the price.

You should also remember to budget your bids. Do not go overbidding because you will only lose your money and do not go so low that your ads will never get the chance to show up. Check your profit against your spending. If you see no progress then most likely you have to drop your ad campaign.

More and more advertisers have been using PPC advertising and it will continue to grow faster than any online advertising techniques. From revenues of $2.6 billion in 2004 to $5.5 billion in 2009, cost per click will dramatically go up as well from $0.29 to $0.36.

PPC advertising is new in online marketing and it is going to continue in the years to come. For advertisers, this means increase revenues with fewer advertising expenses, savings, more sales, good return of investment (ROI) and effective ad campaigns in the days to come.

Google Adsense - The Easiest Money To Make Online?

Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.
The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.

With Google Adsense, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing. If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process. If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense.

For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

With the advent of the Internet, marketing had made a shift towards the virtual world. The Internet has given marketers something to smile about because marketing through the Internet is cheaper than the usual marketing techniques but can very well deliver the same results.

Many businesses have discovered the wonderful system which was developed by Google to market products electronically. This is what we refer to as the Google Adwords. It is a system which is based on the bidding for key words by businesses. When someone searches for a certain thing on the Google search engine, a separate portion for the sponsored links is displayed at the right corner of the Internet browser. The website which have the highest bids will be displayed in the Adwords section. This technique is proven to be a cost effective way of marketing through the Internet.

So, what are the different features and advantages of Google Adwords which seem to attract more and more businesses into engaging into it? Here are some of them:

The word “googling” has also been put up by Webster Dictionary and is defined as searching through Google. These facts reflect the power of Google and this implies the effects of using Google Adwords to market one’s product or service.

2) Target Audience

By providing a separate section on the different sponsored links to a certain keyword search, Google Adwords makes connections between the buyer and the seller. This is what others would refer to as “laser targeted audience” connection. It clearly segments the market by analyzing the keywords which are inputted by the searcher and the keywords that the businesses bid on.

3) Control on Budget

This is one of the most beautiful features of the Google Adwords system. The system allows for a designation of a daily budget which the participants can change whenever they want to. Participants are charged by Google for the number of clicks that is generated by the Adword system. Google has no business with regards to whatever happens to the transactions after the “click” has been done. A business can actually set a budget so as to effectively analyze the strategies that it employs in the Adwords system. If the daily budget is already exhausted, the participant is taken out of the bidding for the day and this prevents loss of money through advertising.

4) Reports

The Google Adwords system is designed to be able to give the figures which can be used by businesses in assessing their progress in marketing their products through Adwords.

It is a very efficient format which can be developed easily and can be altered anytime by the businesses themselves.

Page Ranking with Google Adwords

When surfing through the Internet, one occasionally comes across little text advertisements to the right of the usual advertisements that come in websites. These are ads through the program Google Adwords.

Google Adwords is a variation of the pay-pero-click advertising system; advertisers end up paying Google for each click by a searcher or web-surfer, not for any other extraneous costs. A regular Google Adwords ad is composed of a headline with 25 characters and basic product information with at most 70 characters.

However, unlike the regular pay-per-click systems which base their search engine hits and ranking based completely on a site’s ability to bid highest for particular keywords, Google Adwords gives a ranking on the basis of the cost per click and the click-through rate. This means that while advertisers also aim to bid for keywords, Google also factors in the relevance and the traffic coming in to the website when ranking a page.

Why are people using this system?

The Internet, as everyone may well know, is an effective means to reach people across borders and geographic constraints. According to recent polls, Google and its various applications (its search engines, its email services, among others) reach over 80 percent of the Internet’s average users. This simply translates to greater than 80 percent of Google’s average 81.9 million users in a month being exposed to advertisements via the Google network.

More than that, Google Adwords appear even in its email service portal, called Google Mail (or Gmail). The little advertising snippets appear atop the Inbox and even within the body of the emails sent to and fro Google users. With statistics showing that majority of the time spent on the Internet actually going into checking, writing, and managing emails, this even increases the demographic exposed to advertisements run on Google Adwords.

Other Google affiliates, like AOL, AskJeeves, AT&T, and even the New York Times, who employ Google’s search capacities, include Adwords ads in their search pages.

Given this huge exposure without the fixed cost of prepaid advertising services, it is obvious why many advertisers flock to Google Adwords.

How does one get ahead with Google Adwords?

The answer is simple—get the Adwords ad ranked higher than the rest! With a higher ranking comes greater exposure in more web pages, search engines, and affiliate pages, as well as more traffic coming through to click the advertisement and gain access to the product or service being offered by the company.

The first thing that must be assured is that the keywords are in fact, relevant and related to the content of the website. The closeness of the keywords to the very content found in the website, the greater propensity for Google to rank the page higher.

If the company is intent in using a particular domain for over a year, it should sign up for the domain services for more than a year. This is the best way for Google not to evaluate the site as a spam site, as spam websites usually sign up for domains only for a duration of the year.

Testing is also a necessary factor in trying to make the most out of Google Adwords. Find ways in order to test the traffic generated by various keywords in relation to the content of the product or service being offered. Use keywords in the ads partly into the headline or title of the page with the product or service.

Moreover, do not spread the coverage of the advertisements too thinly. Google allows for its clients to specify countries, regions, and languages. Take advantage of this option in order to advertise to the niche and target market—the market that will likely be interested in the product or service offered, and, eventually, make a purchase.

Most importantly, make sure that clicking on the Adwords advertisement will lead to a page detailing the exact product being advertised, not a motley of other products. This allows for the page to be more relevant to the keywords found within the Adwords ad.

Taking advantage of this ingenious system created by Google is not too difficult given some time and energy focused into creating the best and most efficient advertisements. By targeting the market and making content relevant and up-to-date, any company’s Adwords ads will surely come in stellar ranking compared to those who don’t follow the same tips.

Google AdWords Is Not Google AdSense

It is interesting to note just how common and daily vocabulary has changed with the times. Five years ago, if you asked someone to google up something, he might not understand what you mean even if he was familiar with the search engine of that name.

Today, however, everyone knows what you mean. That can only point to Google’s popularity and how it has come to be identified with looking up information on the Web. One can only imagine what new words Google, and companies like it, will introduce to the vocabulary five years from now and what they could possibly mean.

Even now, there are new terms that are making the rounds in everyday conversation – words that Google has invented. If you’re at all familiar with advertising on Google, then you’ve probably heard the terms AdWords and AdSense.

Perhaps, though like most people, while you may be familiar with terms you may not know what they are actually referring to. One mistake that’s commonly being made nowadays is to interchange AdWords and AdSense, thinking that these two mean the same thing.

Fundamentally, interchanging them is a mistake because the two words are referring to two different things albeit they are very closely related to each other. This article will help you understand the differences between them, how they work together – and perhaps more importantly, how it can help you earn a little more money on the side.

AdWords and AdSense are part of Google’s advertising arm that is part of the company’s growing range of services. If you’ve used Google to look up information, then you’ve encountered AdWords. They are the text ads that appear on the results page of your search.

AdWords works by matching a Google user with Google’s paying advertisers. But instead of just showing random ads that the user you may not be interested in (or worse, be irritated at) Google will present ads that have something to do with what the user is currently looking up.

Take Sam, for example, who is looking up information on rock climbing. Sam types in the words “rock climbing sport” and hits the search button. Google will then present Sam with a list of webpages that contain information about that topic. Along with this listing, there appear text ads from companies offering products and services regarding rock climbing as a sport.

One of these companies is owned by Jim, who runs a rock climbing facility in the town Sam lives in. Jim is able to advertise on Google by signing up his company’s website with AdWords. He tells Google that he’d like his text ads to appear on result pages for the keywords “sport rock climbing” which is what Sam used to look up information. This is how Sam is able to see Jim’s ad on Google.

However, Jim doesn’t pay Google for just showing his ad. He doesn’t pay anything until someone like Sam clicks on the ad to visit Jim’s website. This is the pay-per-click (PPC) system, which is fundamentally how AdWords works.

Part of this setup is the ability of Google advertisers, like Jim, to set the price of how much the cost per click (CPC) will be on the ads posted on Google results pages. Popular keywords like “sport rock climbing” may command a higher CPC compared to other less popular keywords, but may be just as effective when it comes to advertising on Google.

AdSense works along side AdWords. While AdWords are text advertisements that appear inside Google’s results pages. AdSense are AdWords that appear outside Google’s website and onto other people’s websites.

Take Jen, for example, who maintains a website for the local rock climbing enthusiasts group. As part of their fundraising program, she enrolled the website on Google AdSense. By signing up for AdSense, Jen’s website will display AdWord advertisements that are related to the content on Jen’s website – in this case, about rock climbing.

Now, take Sam (still remember him?) who is still looking for information on rock climbing. Jen’s website is part of the listing that appears on Sam’s search inquiry on Google. Sam clicks on the link that leads to Jen’s website.

Sam browses through the website and reads up on climbing trips Jen’s group have organized. Along with that article, an AdWords advertisement is posted. It just so happens, that the ad is for Jim’s climbing facility. Sam, who is now more interested in taking up the sport, decides right then and there to visit Jim’s website.

By clicking on the ad, Sam has caused two things: 1. He caused Jim to pay Google the agreed CPC for placing his ad and 2. Jen’s website earns a part of that CPC by allowing Google to show Jim’s ad via AdSense.

This setup has made it possible for users like Sam to find information efficiently and be presented with AdWords from companies that are relevant to his search. Businesses like Jim’s can advertise effectively without needing to spend so much with AdWords, while website publishers like Jen can earn money by signing up with AdSense.

With AdWords and AdSense, Google has managed to give people the information they need while connecting them to others of similar needs and interests. The fact that it can make fair money out of it can only add to how cool it already is.
