For those people experienced in the Adwords scene, the keywords are the most important thing. Getting profitable keywords and drawing in clients is the make or break factor for them.

An unprofitable Adwords campaign can result in a great amount of money thrown away into advertising all because the ads did not attract serious traffic but attracted surfers that were “just looking” and whiling away the hours clicking on the ‘Sponsored Ads”

What isn’t known by this group of people is that luck doesn’t come into play and careful research doesn’t guarantee success also.

Now if you go into a search engine database you can find keywords that generate the greatest amount of business over a certain period of time. These keywords will generate a book full of search results because of their popularity, but the searcher is only interested in the first 5-10 pages, anything after those pages won’t be seen.

It is evident that an ad must be among the first pages to be assured of some kind of success. What does that have to do with keywords? To be assured of their ads showing up on the first 5 or 10 pages, those very prime spots, a marketer will have to have one of the higher bids on that keyword.

That means that they are going to need to pay more for each time their advertisement is clicked than the people on the other ninety-nine pages if they wish for their ad to appear on the first page.

Well who cares if you have to pay a little more per click? You should because every time that that ad is clicked on you have to pay that amount even if you aren’t getting any sales off of it and that could mean a very large deficit in the ad budget. That’s why each ad has to function at peak performance so that you can justify the expense.

For each ad to be successful it is important that the keyword be as successful as possible.

A good keyword will be one which will be specific enough that it narrows down the viewing pool (for example, “indoor swimming pools” rather than “swimming pools”) but still general enough that browsers will think to enter it into their search engine (honestly, unless they are professionals themselves they will not know to select a Culligan swimming pool).
