Are your keywords performing as well as they should be?
Here’s how to determine relevant keywords that result in driving the greatest traffic at the least cost. Did you know that most successful PPC advertisers own between 500 & 5,000 keywords? Your Pay Per Click advertising success is dependant on understanding your customers and building targeted keyword lists for Google Adwords and all others.

Questions to ask when developing your keyword strategy:
•          What do your customers search for?
•          How do customers search for your product/service? 
•          What words do you use to brand your product?
•         How do they buy? What’s your product/service buying cycle?

Keyword Development Tips for Success:
•          Review related brand names and products if applicable to yours
•          Look at keywords related to your marketing materials
•          Add everything related to your new product or service offerings
•          Qualify generic keywords to make them more targeted
•          Review related meanings of your keywords
•          Make a list of multiple intents and singular/plural changes
•          List all related acronyms
•          Define your ideal keywords – not too hot, not too cold
•          Brainstorm with your team, customers and strangers
•          Choose related nouns and adjectives

<<<PPC Insiders Tip>>>One way to get ahead of the game is to research the keywords your competitors are bidding on by using tools like Adgooroo and viewing the source code on competitor’s websites for ideas. 

Here’s to building your successful keyword case! Check out the PPC Summit Insiders email newsletter at www.ppcsummit.com for more on profitable keyword strategies.

If you haven’t already built seasonal keywords into your Pay Per Click campaigns, there is still time! Read on to learn a few tips on applying holiday related keyword phrases to your PPC campaigns.

Here are a few PPCto help you reach holiday buyers: tips

1. Research the keywords that are searched most often during the holiday seasons. Check out Google’s Hot Trends tool to learn what people are searching for and review popular searches. Keep in mind timing, Christmas related searches start as early as September according to Google Trend data. Build popular seasonal keywords into your campaigns now!

2. Incorporate holiday related (seasonal) keywords into your campaign. Your keyword should match what your potential customers are searching for during the holiday. Here’s a Christmas example using holiday related keywords: Christmas toys, holiday toys, toy gifts, Santa Claus toys…

3. Research your competition and learn their ad copy strategies. Do a search on your keywords and review the ads that you are competing with. Also try using longer keyword phrases that your competition is not using.

4. Streamline your PPC campaign management and set up different campaigns for each season/holiday. When the season ends, you can turn the campaign off until the next year.

5. Be sure to analyze your seasonal keywords and campaign results to plan for higher ROI next year.
