It is important that you know which keyword phrases to use as you begin creating and writing compelling ads for your Google Adwords campaign, so that people can easily find your ads. Google Adwords expert Perry Marshall encourages all Adwords users and pay-per-click managers to make full use of the Google Adwords Keyword Selector Tool when creating each ad. This free tool allows you to find the most profitable and popular keywords in your niche, and can also help you drill down related keywords that you can use for other campaigns or just general keyword research. Google’s Keyword Tool is very helpful at focusing your efforts if your ads aren’t working; if your ad is only using low volume keywords, there’s a possibility that your Adwords ads won’t be clicked on enough to make your ad profitable.

Here are some additional methods for using Google’s Adwords Keyword Selector Tool to successfully create your Adwords campaign

1. Begin with broad search. Most people use very specific keyword phrases when they first begin conducting research with Adwords, and this might be a mistake because it will typically leave you only with average results. Start with a broad search alternatively and dig into the results with the “synonyms” tool that provides variations and more suggestions as a part of the results.

2. Create different ad groups using a set of similar keywords. Try to be certain that you are creating completely new ad groups for each campaign you create, so you can monitor what’s working - and what is not. There is a ‘relevant keywords’ feature built right into the Adwords Keyword Selector Tool (that you can use) that will make it easier for you to narrow down your search.

3. Use a ‘negative keywords’ strategy. Sometimes optimizing your Google Adwords campaign will involve taking away words that do not work for your market; the Google Adwords tool can be tweaked to stop showing certain words that may not be relevant to your particular niche. An example of this would be, using the negative keywords to eliminate the word “free” from triggering your ad, thus improving your ROI by only displaying your ad to people who are looking to potentially buy. The Adwords Keyword Selector Tool will now only show you phrases that exclude the word “free”.’

4. If you aren’t sure where to start, you can use the Site Content feature. Google can spider your website and make keyword suggestions based on the content of your pages. For example, if your home page provides information about services and trends in your marketplace, these may be strong keywords for your particular niche. After the search process, you will be given a list of targeted keywords related to these concepts and areas in the search results.

5. Location, location, location. Many people fail to realize how important adding a location - whether it’s a town, city or state - to your key term or keyphrase really is. This can be important if you provide products or services that are geographically specific; the visitors you get from these types of phrases might be better than a less specific search, and will provide more qualified traffic to your site. Consider appending a keyword or keyphrase with a location to determine the best combinations for your ad campaign.

Marketing with Google Adwords is an effective technique that most websites can use to find more sales. Creating quality Google Ads is one of the most important skills to have when using Adwords - and there are many quality training guides available online..
