Free Report:
Crash Course in the World's
Fastest Direct Marketing
System
This crash course zeroes in on teaching you how to get
the best from the greatest direct-marketing system ever
invented: the Google Adwords system.
In under 20 minutes you can go from first opening your account,
setting up your campaign, to having your ad running
in no time flat, to getting your first traffic to your site
from that ad. A truly amazing system that Perry Marshall brands
as perhaps the greatest marketing invention ever, and "the
only kind of marketing that makes any sense."
One caveat
before we start: don't take shortcuts with any
of this because what works in this
amazing system is finesse. Always remember, and practice, that, because
Adwords (and all PPC advertising) can bite if you don't know
what you're doing..
But let's jump right in, because this is supposed to be the
world's fastest crash course on direct marketing the world has
ever seen, right?
Google offers a paid placement program called
Google Adwords. Paid listings in
Google appear above and to the side of its regular, or organic,
search results,as you've probably seen many times over
when you do a Google search. Like most Paid Placement or
Pay-per-click (PPC) programs you are charged a fee only when a
visitor clicks on your ad. There is a $5 activation fee for
this service and there is no monthly minimum fee.
Some advantages of Google Adwords are:
 |
Your price is automatically lowered to one
cent more than your closest competitor. For
example, if you had to bid $1.67 a click to get a
top position, and next week the second-ranked
advertiser (who paid $1.66) drops out, then your
price does not stay at your original bid price, but
will drop to to one cent above your closest
competitior, who would have been in third position
when you won the top spot. |
 |
No
one can lock in the top position because user
click-through rates and CPC determine where your ad
is shown. The most relevant ads rise to the
top. |
 |
Google offers a unique set of powerful
tools to forecast your budget and select target
keywords. |
 |
You can target your ads to users in a
specific country or only to speakers of a specific
language. |
Features of Google Adwords:

 |
Ranking:

you. |
 |

Management: Multiple ads per keyword.
Google tracks individual ad performance to help you
monitor which ones perform well. AdWords Discounter

Some other important
pointers:
1. There are three ways to use
keywords in Google Adwords, and it's vital that you understand
their purpose, how they work, and how they will save you money
if you learn how to use them right.
1. The keyword written as thus, e.g. barramundi
fishing giru
2. The keyword written in square brackets, e.g.
[barramundi fishing giru]
3. The keyword written in quotes, e.f. "barramundi
fishing giru"
2. It's important to understand that Google Adwords allows
you to have negative keywords in phrase
matching. This allows you to filter out searches where the
searcher is looking for free stuff. So if you put negative free
(-free) in as a keyword, when anyone searches for free music,
free trial, or free anything, when they search on say "free
barramundi fishing," your ad won't show up, because you don't
want these sort of people. Keeping the wrong people away from
your ads is as important as attracting the right people,
because getting too many tyre-kickers clicking on your ads,
with no intention of ever buying, will result in your campaigns
being suspended by Google for poor performance, which is
something you absolutely don't want, OK!
4. Always turn the content network off,
otherwise you're just going to be getting a load of untargeted
traffic from other sites via the Google Adsense system. Do this
by clicking on the "Edit Campaign Settings" button when you
setup your campaigns.
5. Don't have more than 25-30 keywords per targeted
Ad Group. Having more than this can negatively affect
your Quality Score as the more keywords you have, the less
relevant they are likely to be to your Ad.
6. Group your keywords around a common
theme, and make sure this is clearly displayed in your
ads. For example, barramundi fishing.
7. Use all three keyword options that
Google allows you to use.
 |
Broad
-
barraumndi fishing |
 |
Phrase
- "barraumndi
fishing" |
 |
Exact
-
[barraumndi
fishing] |
By using all three types in your campaigns for each keyword,
you then have greater control over how targeted your campaign
will be. When someone searches on Google by putting quotes or
brackets around their search phrase, they get different results
than if they just typed the word in all by itself. That is,
barraumndi fishing, is different from "barraumndi fishing,"
which again is different from [barraumndi fishing]. By using
quotes and brackets in your keywords, you can triple the number
of keywords you bid on, and this gives you three times
more chances of finding the really profitable
ones.
There are many free programs on the Internet that will
convert your standadrd keyword into the quote and bracket
version. Just do a Google search on the subject (converting
keywords to quotes and brackets). If you own this great keyword research tool, it does this
for you.
