How To Manage An Adwords Campaign After The Launch

By Brian Basch

So you finally made it! You worked out the bids, positioning, keywords and market research. Also you are a couple of steps ahead of the pack as you have taken advantage of Google's keyword research tools. Looks like your advertising promotions are all set for the next 6 months. Is there anything left to do?

The next thing to do is to roll up your sleeves and be prepared to get down to some hard work. Setting up your campaign is the easy part. Now you will have to maintain your great campaign and be sure it is productive. You can do this in several ways.

The first one is by tracking every detail of your ad. There is a great tracking system on Adwords itself. Just looking at your campaign will tell you which keyword is bringing in traffic and you can also set up the system to track sales conversions, if you have your own product or service. You can co-ordinate this with your website tools to track leads and sales.

It is critical to your Adword campaign that you pay attention to every detail and monitor it well. A failing ad can drain your budget, fast. It will distract you from your productive ads and have you chasing ineffective leads. Let's face it you will still be paying for clicks to a bad ad.

So how do you fix an unproductive ad? If it is placed well, within the first 5-10 pages, and is drawing traffic but no sales, you may want to target your keyword better. It is very tempting to use a broad based keyword to draw in the traffic.

The problem with popular keywords is that they are not targeted. Searchers will start with these words but go onto more targeted ones. This attracts shoppers not browsers to your website. The best keywords are those that attract traffic but also draw your niche market.

You will have to strike a happy medium between general keywords that draw the crowds and keywords that are more specialized and will bring in the sales.

Keeping a close watch on your Adwords campaign is the key to victory. In turn the success of your campaign will affect the continuous success of your business. So do not neglect the detailed monitoring of your campaign, so that you can guarantee the rising success of your business.
