As you begin creating and writing compelling ads for your Google Adwords campaign, it’s important to know which keywords and keyphrases to use so that people can identify your ad with ease. Perry Marshall (a Google Adwords expert) teaches pay-per-click users and advertisers to utilize the Google Adwords Keyword Selector Tool when creating their ads. 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. The Keyword Tool is especially helpful for fine-tuning your efforts when ads are performing poorly; if you’ve written an ad using low-traffic keywords, there is a good chance that your ads are not being clicked enough to make your ad effective.

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. Using a similar set of keywords, create different ad groups. Make sure you are creating an entirely new ad group for every campaign so you can keep track of what is working - and what isn’t. You can also make use of the ‘relevant keywords’ feature already built into the Google Adwords Keyword Selector Tool that helps you narrow down your search with ease.

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. Use the Site Content feature if you don’t know where to start. Google can scan your web page and offer suggestions of keywords based on your site’s content. For example, if your home page provides information about services and trends in your marketplace, these may be strong keywords for your particular niche. When the scanning process is complete, you will see a list of highly targeted keywords related to these ideas and topics in your results.

5. 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 is especially important if you offer products or services within a particular zone or area; the traffic you can generate from these keywords may be much higher than a general search, and will get you highly targeted, even qualified traffic. Consider appending a keyword or keyphrase with a location to determine the best combinations for your ad campaign.

Marketing with Google Adwords is a powerful technique that most online-businesses can use to attract more customers. Creating quality Google Ads is one of the best skills to have when using Adwords - and there are many quality training resources available online. .
