Setup Google Adwords How to Setup Google Adwords

Separate Ad Groups
Create clusters for your ad groups. Each cluster should contain closely related word groups or word stems. Write the ad specifically for that ad group.

Special Landing Pages
Optimize your landing pages for specific keyword groups. Do not send users to your home page. Send them to a specific section of the website that contains the most relevant information.

The Benefits of Negativity
In order to best target your ad, use negative keywords. This will allow you to filter results that are less relevant.

Example:
realty software
-free realty software
realty software -Mac

Track
Track which keywords are the most effective in generating product interest and have the highest conversion rate.

Location, Location, Location
Track and filter countries that click on your ad, and even more important track the location of purchasers! If 80% of your click traffic comes from India and only 1% of your sales are from that region, you have a problem. Google allows you to select the countries from which you want you ad to appear.

High Click Through Not the Answer
While click through rates are important and can influence how much you pay per click, keep in mind the reason you are paying for the click; sales! Traffic that does not convert is not worth paying for, regardless of how inexpensive it might be!
