Up-To-Date Tips For Superlative PPC Management
Elance
Wordtracker and Overture along side AdWord Accelerator are familiar tools for PPC managers. They are useful for sifting out the keyword and bid price competition and help highlight the best performing ads. However you might benefit from using others that have uncommon features that make them desirable tools. They are Adword Analyzer http://www.adwordanalyzer.com/) and Keywords Analyzer (www.KeywordsAnalyzer.com/
If I were to look in your toolbox out in your garage, most likely I would find both a flat head and a Philips head screwdriver. This is like your keyword tools. The same way you need more than one kind of screwdriver you need more than one keyword tool. Individually they have their strong points but together they represent an entire set of tools, not just two screwdrivers.
There is no end to learning though. Whether your keyword list is long or short, the first one will most likely be missing something. A major search engine company once reported that out of total searches 20 percent were wholly unique. People search for all kinds of things and use an unlimited variety of words. Therefore here are some out-of-the-ordinary notions for you to consider:
Be sure to have plenty of synonyms and relevant subjects in your hoard of keywords to be certain that you are connecting with those who are looking for what you have.
Though you will have to deal with copyright headaches, you can attempt to bid on brand names. Google has dealt with many legal issues just for allowing AdWords users to bid on brand names. Even still, company names, periodicals, associations, well- known people, and well-known places may just be relevant to your advertised goods. Two examples are "Buddy Rich" for "drums" and "Jeremy Jones", the well-known pool player, for "billiards".
Misspellings are a big opportunity, because so many advertisers don't bid on them, and the clickthrough rate is often higher. For a Lord of the Rings promotion, "Tolkein" (misspelled) got twice the CTR of "Tolkien" (spelled correctly).
LexFN.com is a web site that is very useful and interesting for PPC management. It's an elaborate thesaurus that uses web technology to find scores of synonyms and related concepts. This can be a very fun site to play with! If you just bid on the obvious generic version of a keyword like WalMart and you don't bother with other variations like Wal-Mart and Wal Mart, Google's "expanded phrase matching" feature will attempt to match this for you, and usually succeed. However, those clicks will almost always cost you more money than bidding on the exact keyword. It's better to bid on the exact variations, the same way people type them in.
