Testimonial example…Brilliant! By implementing the ideas and suggestions from the IRUN Pay Per Click workshop we have reduced our costs by 45% and now have much more targeted traffic to our website. Combined with the understanding of how we can use Google Analytics to monitor our websites performance I feel much more in control of our website and online marketing activity. It was also reassuring to know that a lot of the ideas I wanted to implement on the 'The Nice Cream Company' website were sensible and should help increase our rankings within Google.  I now feel that when I sit down with our web designer he won't be blinding me with science and I will have an understanding of what I need and what is achievable.  Thanks again!"

Planning & PreparationUnderstanding the language

Keyword Research is THE most important thing to do when starting a PPC Strategy.

If you keywords are too broad, it will cost you a lot of money. The cost per click (CPC) will be incredibly high compared to that of a more descriptive relevant keyword.

Don’t create a long list of poorly targeted keywords – don’t think broad is better, its better to identify a specific niche

– You must get targeted traffic that

you can convert

Keyword selection

Keyword Matching Options

broad matches

phrase matches

exact matches

negative matches

Keyword Matching Options

Broad Match - This is the default option. If you include general keyword or keyword phrases (such as tennis shoes) in your keyword list, your ads may appear when users search for tennis and shoes, in any order, and possibly along with other terms. For example, your ad may appear for the queries buy tennis shoes and tennis sneakers but not tennis players.

If you always use a broad match you’ll be creating a higher CPC for yourself as they are less targeted words and your

Google rank will be low, its not always the best or only option

Source: Google

Keyword Matching Options

Phrase Match - If you enter your keyword in quotation marks, as in "tennis shoes", your ad will be displayed when a user searches on the phrase tennis shoes, in this order, and possibly with other terms in the query.

In this case, the search can also contain other terms as long as it includes the exact phrase that you have specified. For example, your ad may be displayed for the queries buy tennis shoes and tennis shoes store but not shoes for tennis.

Source: Google

Keyword Matching Options

Exact Match - If you surround your keywords in brackets, (such as [tennis shoes]) your ads will be displayed when users search for the specific phrase tennis shoes in this order and without any other terms in the query. For example, your ad will not be displayed for the query red tennis shoes. Although you will not receive as many impressions with exact matching, you will likely enjoy a higher click-through rate, because users searching for these terms are typically looking exactly for what you offer.

Source: Google

Keyword Matching Options

Negative Keyword - You can use negative keywords to weed out irrelevant searches. To specify a negative keyword, place a negative sign (-) before the keyword. If your keyword is tennis shoes and you add the negative keyword -cheap, your ad will not be displayed when a user searches for cheap tennis shoes. You can apply this option for a keyword at both the Ad Group and campaign level.

Do seriously consider using this option, it prevents a lot of unwanted traffic coming to your site

Creating an account

You will need to provide an email address, password and billing details i.e. Credit Card number.

You will be billed for a £5.00 (UK customers) initial setup fee.

Google will then bill you regularly once your ads start attracting clicks.

Further help can be obtained from the Google Adwords home page.

Account structure

Specify your ‘Daily Budget’

You can define the amount you wish to spend per day.

You can define how Google will display your ad, time and geography.

If you set your budget too low your ads will not always be visible.

Create Your ‘Ad Groups’

Define your keywords, create your ad copy and decide on the maximum amount that you are willing to pay for each click.

If your keywords are too generic and not well targeted you can quickly spend a lot of money for little return.

Get it right and you could be reaching thousands of

targeted customers in less than an hour.

Creating an ad

Building The Adverts

Google’s policies

There are a whole raft of rules that you have to keep to when

building the ad. But don’t worry most are immediately

apparent and if you fall foul, you are told and can make the

necessary changes (superlative claims – we are the best,

competitive claims – product superior – all text in CAPITALS)

Call to Action

Making the adverts work is the next issue….

Creating your advert

Keyword relevance to Advert – do inject your keywords into the advert and make sure every word starts with a Capital Letter.

Advert relevance to Landing Page – do make sure the visitor can understand exactly what to expect when they click on the Ad

Landing Page relevance to Keyword – don’t send them to your home page, the landing page must contain what they expect

Don’t create just a single ad group, make sure you have multiple ones

Splitting Up the Keywords – for example

Ad Group 1

• Hockey Sticks• Field Hockey Sticks• Junior Hockey Sticks• Hockey Sticks for Sale

Ad Group 2• Hockey Gloves• Junior Hockey Gloves• Hockey Glove• Hockey Glove for Sale

So you can see very quickly how your ad groups will multiply, if you were a sports shop you would then complete this process for football, tennis, rugby etc.

Have multiple campaigns

Targeting the Campaigns

Geographic Targeting

You can target a Google campaign to just about any geographic

area in the UK you want. (or outside of the UK if you want – in

almost any language)

Keyword Targeting

By including a town / city name like Oxford in a keyword phrase,

you can show the ad to all of the UK

The Search and Content Networks

The Search Network

This is formed by the Search Engines Google, AOL, Ask and

some other minor partners.

The Content Network

These sites are sites that allow Google to display ads, the exact

ads being shown being decided upon by Google (they examine

the sites content)

Placement Targeting : you can chose the websites you want your

ad to appear on the benefit is Reach customers early in the

advertising cycle, with ads designed to increase awareness or to

promote a brand

Have multiple Adverts for Each Group

Do make use of Adserve Your ads will rotate if you have multiple ads within an ad group in 2 ways

Optimise - Optimized ad serving delivers ads with higher

clickthrough rates (CTRs) into the ad auction more often than other ads in the ad group - your ad group will likely receive more impressions and clicks overall

Rotate - Rotated ad serving delivers ads more evenly into the

auction

Landing Pages

These are the key to success…

With organic listings, it is the Search Engines that decide which page of a site the user is going to be delivered to.

But with PPC you can decide and build pages that are really very specific and targeted.

Getting Clicks for Less – Your Ad Rank

Understanding the Google Quality Score System (0ver 1000 impressions)

Keyword relevance to Advert – do inject your keywords into the advert and make sure every word starts with a Capital Letter.

Advert relevance to Landing Page – do make sure the visitor can understand exactly what to expect when they click on the Ad

Landing Page relevance to Keyword – don’t send them to your home page must contain what they expect

Max CPC - CTR % Rate - Campaign History

Analytics

Analytics are the key to understanding what is really going on.

Once you have established an Adwords account you can access the Google Analytics tracking code to add to your website. Do create Goals in your analytics so that you can gauge your success

Bear in mind…

Relevance: Search – Advert – Landing Page – Content – Action!

Avoid general or non productive keywords.

Consider a keyword management service.

Do you really need to be Number 1?

Compulsive ‘clickers’ can run up the costs.

Watch out for ‘click fraud’ and report it.

Pay Per Click

Potential to drive traffic to your site in a matter of minutes.

Pay only if a ‘prospect’ actively engages with your advert.

Can be extremely cost effective.

Needs to be actively managed.
