6 Ways To Improve Conversions Using Google Adwords

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.

The proponent of Google Adwords, Perry Marshall, recommends making the most out of Google Adwords. This can be possible by using modern research methods in identifying keywords that have potentials to convert, testing numerous ads against each other, and developing succinct ads that appeal to the target market.

Here are six more ways to improve conversions using Google Adwords:

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. Only change one word when testing ads against each other. Perry Marshall encourages everyone to split test ads to track conversions and then pick the most effective ad after the trial period. However, the only way you'll really know what is working is by making very minor edits or modifications to your first ad. Try changing just one word in the headline or keyword in the body copy to find out what really 'clicks' with your viewers.

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. Make use of the geographic targeting feature. Geographic targeting allows you to reach out to a specific market based on their location. This is especially effective if you are selling products or services that only apply to local markets; many businesses do not have a national or global market reach, so it may not be necessary to advertise at that level. Refining your Adwords reach can help you capture your high-converting traffic much more easily.

5. Do not type 'www' in your URL link. Reserve those extra characters for the extension of your website. You don't have to use 'www' all the time for a couple of reasons: firstly, there will be more clickthroughs from the viewers because they fairly have an idea of what to read on your site, and secondly, it looks better visually. However, for you to close a sale, you have to ensure that the link goes to a valid landing page or sales page.

6. Write your ad using the headline style. Capitalize the first letters throughout the ad for readability purposes. As you may well know, the headline is among the most important parts of your ad since it is usually the first thing read by visitors. In the same way, you create visual appeal and render your ad more professional by using capital letters on the ad copy. - 20490

Article Marketing Success

by Justin Harrison

People are figuring out that if you have people write articles about your site, then it brings in a lot more traffic and more people will be willing to check out your site. And if you respond quickly to any questions, then it will really help your company.

Article marketing's success has led to a disturbing trend of quantity over quality. Regardless, the content of an article is still an extremely important component for attracting (and keeping) an audience. If you wish to divert people from searching the internet for information to your writing, you must keep your articles interesting reads as well as informative.

While staying on track with the focus of your site, meaning the goods or services you are marketing, think about including articles that approach your areas of interest from several different angles. Articles focusing on a range of different, but relevant, topics will widen your audience appeal.

Do a little investigation about using keywords and word sequences before you write your articles. The keywords that readers will probably use to put into the search engine to look for the details you give should pertain to your article. But, take caution to keep it balanced. If you use an excessive amount of keywords and article appears too phony and exaggerated, there are not too many search engines that will accept this.

You should initially proofread the article you've written yourself. Careless writing, and errors in spelling and grammar display a lack of professionalism and concern and will thus reflect poorly on you and your product or service. After this, you should ask your friends, family or colleagues to give the article a read and listen intently to their critiques and comments. Even minor modifications done to improve the article can alter how readers will feel about it and react.

It is important to have variety without rambling. You should keep your articles short and to the point, so that the reader's attention is held. - 20490
