7 Adwords Secrets

I regularly mention the importance of Adwords on this blog, but I realized I’ve never devoted an entire post to Adwords itself. One of the first steps I take in any market is to examine the Adwords scene.

- What keywords are people really searching for on the subject?

- How often are these terms searched? How does it compare to other possible markets?

- Who is my competition in Adwords and on the front page?

- What primary benefits or attention grabbers are being used in the Google ads?

- What is being offered on the landing pages for these ads?

- What minimum bids will I need to get on the front page of the results?

In other words, Adwords is very important to me EVEN if it is not one of the primary methods I use for marketing. I’d still want to know all the above information.

Today I spent a few hours tracking down some of the best Adwords posts from other blogs. It really surprised me how difficult this process was to find good quality articles on the subject. You’d think, “Hey it’s Adwords, everybody is probably writing something about it.”
