| Average rating: Rate this article |
Search Engine Optimization is a big buzz word today and many people are focusing on optimizing their websites for the search engines. Although you get most of your traffic through search engines there is an easier way to generate traffic using the search engines and that is through pay per click programs such as Google Adwords. Google Adwords makes it easier to benefit from search engine traffic as the results are not just based on search engine optimization but on relevancy and how much you are willing to bid per click. Once you have achieved first rank on Google Adwords though your advert needs to attract visitors to click through and buy your product and that is what we are going to be considering in this article.
Google Adwords Ads that Generate Traffic Start with Keyword Research
Like search engine optimization, generating website traffic from Google Adwords ads requires doing thorough keyword research beforehand. This can be done using the Google Adwords keyword research tool or other keyword tools such as Wordtracker. The important thing is to find keywords where there is lots of search volume with little competition.
Google Adwords Ads that Generate Traffic Pack Two Lines Full
Your Google Adwords ads are only a title and two lines which means that into those two lines you are going to need to fit plenty of information – you need to include features, benefits, negative qualifiers and enough information about your product to make people want to click. Your Google Adwords ads should also include the primary keyword for your ad in the title and perhaps elsewhere in your ad copy to ensure people that they have what you are looking for.
Google Adwords Ads that Generate Traffic Include Features and Benefits
In order to encourage people to click through your Google Adwords ads to get to your landing page you want to include features and benefits that appeal to your customer. Think about your best benefit as well as a feature that most clients like and include these in your copy. The benefit may be inserted into the headline of the ad to pull people into reading more and then the feature listed further down along with a negative qualifier.
Google Adwords Ads Should Have a Negative Qualifier
A negative qualifier is that part of your Google Adwords ads which weeds out those who are genuinely interested in your product from those who click through and then don't buy. Your negative qualifier may be the price (if it is quite expensive), the geographical location you serve or anything else which may prevent someone buying your product.
To Create the Best Google Adwords Ads You Should Track Their Success
In order to create the best Google Adwords ads you should constantly track and test your ads to see what is working and what is not. Use split testing to test a single feature by comparing two slightly different ads. Use Google Adwords reports to measure more differences and gradually change your Google Adwords campaigns to the best results.
In conclusion, if you really want to benefit from search engine traffic then why not take advantage of Google Adwords. By creating Google Adwords ads you are able to get higher rankings by paying for these results and if you create a great Google Adwords ad with features, benefits and negative qualifiers you will get people click through to your landing page who are seriously interested in buying your product.
