How To Increase Conversions With Google Adwords Campaigns

By Donald D. Davis

The processes involved in online marketing can be too overwhelming for those who are just starting in this business. First, you must be able to identify, understand, and reach out to your target market. Second, you must get them into action by availing themselves of your products or services. But sometimes, even when you clearly comprehend your target market's needs, there is still no guarantee that you can encourage or convert them accordingly. This article provides useful ways to improve your conversion rates using Google Adwords campaign and ultimately bring in your website's targeted traffic.

Perry Marshall, Google Adwords pioneer and guru suggests maximizing Google Adwords by assessing various ads. Identifying keywords that convert becomes possible through innovative research techniques and writing effective ads that create impact to the readers.

Improve your keywords conversion potential with these six important ways:

1. Use the 'dynamic keyword' feature to let Google write your headline. If you're not sure how to write your headline, or what keywords to use, select the 'Dynamic Keywords' feature when writing your add where Google will place the search term your visitor type din the search box as the headline. This ad may stand out to a reader who typed in that particular word or phrase, instantly making the ad more 'relevant' to them.

2. Alter only one word when you evaluate ads against each other. As proposed by Perry Marshall, test ads must be segregated to monitor conversions as well as pinpoint the most effective ad after the trial period. You can do this by ensuing minor edits or changes to your initial ads. Change just one word in the headline or keyword in the body's copy to learn what knocks the socks off your targets.

3. Never run your ads in the Content network instantaneously. If you are just starting, it is advisable to turn this feature off as this may not immediately provide you with the intended website traffic. What you can do instead is to take note of the basic search results pages.

4. Utilize the Geographic targeting feature. This makes it easier for you to link to your target market's location. Most prefer market at the micro level rather than national or international. That said, it is wiser to filter your Adwords reach if you want to effectively advertise your products or services.

5. Don't use 'www' in your URL link. You don't have to use the 'www' for the link URL, so you can save those extra characters for your website extension instead. This looks better visually, and may encourage more clicks because people will get a fair idea of what they are clicking to when they click on the ad. Just make sure that the link does in fact go to a landing page or sales page so you can make that sale or capture the lead within a few clicks.

6. Emphasize your ad's first letters by using the headline style. Readability is a vital factor in Google Adwords application so be sure to write your ad by capitalizing the initial letters. In the same way, you must use upper case on your ad's copy and URL link for a more enhanced and professional look.
