5 Reasons for Using Google AdWords to advertise your business

September 8th, 2010

Are you a small to medium business looking to advertise your business online. Its quite a an overwhelming task choosing from all the different advertising programs out there. I am not here to persuade you that Google AdWords is your only choice. Instead i want to point out some key benefits of Google AdWords that will help you to make an informed decision.

Here are the most important things in my point of view.

  1. Number one on my list of course is the ability to reach people at the exact time when they are looking for you products and services. This is why search advertising has peaked in the last couple of years because a well structured campaign provides high return with minimal investment.
  2. Measuring results – ask your self how many types of advertising allow you to measure results. Very few? AdWords does not only provide you with info about how is your campaign performing and site statistic but at a high level it also gives you information about ROI from your campaign. It offers two fantastic tracking tools Google Analytics and Conversion Tracking and the best part of it all is that they are absolutely free of charge.
  3. Precise Targeting – you can choose keywords, ads, specific countries, languages, time schedules and much much more. This allows you to target your campaign with pinpoint accuracy.
  4. Accessible to big & small – one of the best things about the Google AdWords is that it allow big & small companies to compete in one place this is the only pace where you can see WHSmith’s and Jeffery’s Stationary store ( a family run business) in the same place. AdWords allows you to advertise with any budget no matter how big or small it is.
  5. Being in Google’s results – well i think this is pretty obvious Google is the place to be if you want’t your products and services to be found. Millions of people search it and compare different offers on a daily basis. The ability to be found on the first page of results is key to not only getting high levels of relevant traffic but also increasing your website sales.

DKI Dynamic Keyword Insertion for Google AdWords

August 20th, 2010

Dynamic Keyword Insertion is a method for automatically inserting keywords within your adverts. This is the easy path to getting decent keyword density within your adverts and hence better CTR (Click Through Rate). Remember that handcrafted ads for each of your search terms is always better than an auto generated ad, so don’t get to comfy with using this.

To use dynamic keyword insertion you will need to use the following syntax.

{KeyWord:Nokia Mobile Phone}

The ‘KeyWord’ part defines how your keywords will be displayed. Capitalisation is important for how you keywords will be shown within the actual ad text.

Lets take the keyword ‘ mobile internet’ and use it as an example.

KeyWord – would give us ‘ Mobile Internet’ in our ad.
Keyword – would give us Mobile internet’ in our ad
keyword – would give us ‘mobile internet‘ in our ad
KEYWORD – would give us ‘MOBILE INTERNET‘ in our ad

So you can use the syntax as it best suites your ad format.

The text that you put in between the brackets eg. {KeyWord:Text} is the default keywords for your ad and it will be used if the search query exceed the maximum allowed character length of your ads.

I hope you found the article useful and that it will help with the optimization of your campaign.
