[Maxine's comments on optimizing Google Adwords apply well to other promotional documents including blogs and articles.  I came across an interesting concept in using Adwords the other day which gets you loved by Google.  It suggested pointing the Adwords to content rich blog articles which included optin/signup forms.  I plan to try this in the very near future.  Gren.

When managing your Google AdWords campaign, there are several things you should take into consideration in order to maximize the benefits of your effort. This article will cover a few of the basic Google AdWords campaign management strategies you can make use of in your pay per click advertising campaign.

The first tip you should consider utilizing in your Google AdWords campaign is the use of keyword optimization. The best place to start when it comes to keyword optimization is being selective and researching your keywords. After this, you should figure out those keywords that have a very low conversion rate, and block them out by using negative keywords.

Depending on the goals of your campaign, it may be cost efficient to utilize a cost-per-impression strategy instead of just a cost per click one. This is a way to create brand awareness for a cheaper price. Basically, your ads appear on relevant websites instead of just SERPs (search engine results pages). This is a way to reach a wider potential audience without having to pay a high price. It is also a way to put your ad in front of people who may be interested but had not thought to search for your specific term.

Another strategy you can employ is maximizing your keywords. When you do this, you are essentially trying to catch as many potential customers as possible. Add plural versions of singular keywords, and vice versa. Consider adding typos or keywords with switched letters. Basically, you goal is to cast a wider net. Of course, you should only do this if you are confident that you can covert these clicks into sales once a customer reaches your website. There is no point casting a wider net if you don’t convert your prospects.

One other important Google AdWords Campaign Management tactic to employ is limiting your daily spending budget. If you don’t cap your budget on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, then a PPC advertising campaign can get out of control quickly. Make sure you allot yourself a certain marketing budget and then stick to it. You should never have to increase your budget on the fly in order to get clicks. If you aren’t getting clicks with a small budget, don’t count on an increased budget to fix the problem. After all, zero (or close to zero) times anything is still zero. Take a step back at the end of the budgetary period and re-evaluate your strategy.

These Google AdWords campaign management techniques can help you increase the efficiency of your campaign without stretching your budget too thin. Depending on the goals of your campaign, these strategies can be very effective.
