In a pay per click ad launch, it is essential to not only choose the right keywords, but to utilize these keywords and phrases efficiently. By doing this, you not only scale back the cost-per-click (CPC) of the ad via a much improved Quality Score, but you're also better prepared to follow keyword use trends and adapt to market changes with agility and speed.

Keywords are the base of any Pay-per-click campaign. When selected with care and then added into the ad group, description, and website page (s) of the ad, they increase the relevancy of that ad. Increased relevancy leads to a better Quality Score, which is used as a major parameter for setting an ad's CPC on advertising networks like Google AdWords. Also, higher ad relevancy leads to better Web user experience and targeting. Finding the proper audience for your PPC ad in turn increases the odds of visitor-to-customer conversions and larger profits for you.

While the benefits of a keyword-matched and relevant Pay per click ad are many, the method for achieving such optimisation isn't invariably apparent. But follow these three easy steps and it with help you better optimize your advert and produce more conversions.



Organise your ad groups.


A Pay per click ad group should hold not more than 25 keywords/phrases at a time. This enables you to organise the keywords around smaller themes and better target the original intention of the ad. It also saves time on analysis, since the quantity of reports that are run per ad group is reduced.

As a bonus, using smaller keyword groups gives you an excellent chance of improving your Quality Score. Because paid search programs like Google and Yahoo! Take the ad group relevancy and targeting into account when figuring out Quality Score, a tighter ad group will generally reduce ad CPC and improve ad placement on the search site results page (SERP).

Write targeted ad text.


On any SERP, there'll be anywhere from 10-15 Pay-per-click ads vying for a Web user's attention. To make your ad stand out, you'll need to write targeted ad text that is beneficial to the visitor. To that end, it's crucial that the ad text remain related to the chosen keywords, since it is the keywords themselves that the Web user searched for and is hoping to find in your ad. You can accomplish this task by incorporating those target keywords right into the ad text. This is certainly easier to do if you haven't any more than 25 total keywords in the ad group. Also, don't forget to supply a call-to-action, and announce special deals and/or sales in the ad.

If you can't think of any good ideas, check out your competitors and see what they are saying and doing on their Pay per click adverts. Review those adverts with care, then take the best ideas and utilize them in your own campaign.

Shocking content may include a tactic such as: 'Can you really make money with CashCrate?', 'Is CashCrate a scam?', etc. Don't be afraid to do something that goes against the norm.



Use keyword match types.


Once the Pay per click ad has been optimised with regards to its ad group and text, the keywords should be precise, phrase, and broad matched. Many advertisers overlook these three matching types and miss significant derivatives of their keywords. For example, a Pay-per-click ad focused only the keywords "mortgage refinance" might miss a huge buyer segment inputting the keywords "mortgage refinance costs". Other advertisers focus only on broad matching, which results in the Pay per click ad casting too wide of a net and capturing user searches not related to the extent of the ad (e.g.. "mortgage refinance in Europe"). To help deal with this problem embedded in keyword broad matching, take advantage of negative keyword filtering.

Each of these steps should help you optimize your advert for keywords, which will help enhance your competitiveness and bottom line. Nonetheless bear in mind that keyword optimisation is a long-term and continuously process. You should be constantly analyzing your PPC ad keywords to make sure they are still attracting the right customers and creating sales. In essence, you should always be looking for new ways to make your PPC ad campaign more user friendly as well as more profitable.
