PPC Campaign Management and Keyword Content
By Travis Campbell of MarketingProfessor.com
Good PPC campaign management begins with keywords. Before any ads are created and placements made on the various search engines, keywords must be selected and incorporated into effective content that will ultimately lead to sales and resulting profits. There are some basic rules to follow for successful PPC search engine placement and effective PPC campaign management.
Keyword selection. The first step to constructing a profitable PPC ad campaign is the selection of keywords. Your keywords should relate directly to your product and be the most compelling force in the ad. Consider these points when establishing PPC ad keywords:
*Singular and plural. Most search engines consider singular and plural versions of keywords separately in search results. Consequently, you should create separate ads that incorporate the singular and the plural forms of your keywords for maximizing your PPC search engine placement.
o As a side note, decide if the singular and plural versions of your keywords generate different meanings within their respective content.
*Positive and negative. There are two means of affecting search results through keywords:
o Positive keywords. The best known keywords are those that you use to attract the attention of a potential customer through your ad. They are those words used directly in a keyword search and returned in search results.
o Negative keywords. To avoid having your ad appear in specific search results, negative keywords are used as a filter to help direct your target audience to your site.
Keywords are a key player in quality PPC campaign management. With deliberate keyword selection, and omission, your PPC search engine placement improves and ultimately increases your click thru and conversion rates.
Keyword placement. The placement of your keywords within your ad has a direct impact on PPC search engine placement. Therefore, remember these tips of the trade when creating your PPC ad content:
* Title and text. Your keywords should appear in both the title and body of your ad. When returned in searches, keywords are in bold for easy spotting by the searcher.
* Relevance. Quality keywords paired with mediocre content will not improve your standing in PPC search engine placement. Effective PPC campaign management strategies need to focus on not only the keywords themselves but also how valuable they are to the ad itself.
You would not randomly select keywords for your PPC ad campaign; nor should you randomly place your keywords within your ads. Choose your keywords wisely and create ad copy that is persuasive enough to drive customers to click through your ad to your site.
Landing page. Ideal keywords, convincing ad content, and then what? PPC campaign management is a step-by-step process that is not won until your potential customers become your current customers. Make certain your landing page is one that generates significant interest to influence visitors to follow through with their visit and respond to your call to action.
* Keyword consistency. Continue to include those keywords on your landing page that originally attracted your visitors. Maintaining your message through consistent keyword phrasing will let your customers know they are in the right place.
* Sense of urgency. Limited supplies and limited time offers tend to spur the browsers into becoming buyers. Plan and arrange your landing page content to create the need to act.
Following the effectiveness of keywords is a relatively simple task in your PPC tracking activities. Once you know which keywords are generating the highest PPC search engine placement results, you can modify your PPC campaign management strategies to further maximize the return on your investment.
