Planning for Success - A Positive Approach
Are you a good or bad planner? Do you cringe at the very mention of the word 'plan'? If you do then you are not alone. Thousands of online (and offline) marketers find themselves in the same position.A good many of these people may well have never considered a plan of action as part of their daily marketing activities. Others may think they are too busy to spare any time for planning. Still others may feel they do need to plan, can see the benefits to be gained from planning, but don't think their skills or personality are suited to this task.There are two essential keyword strategies that you should be using in order to create successful and profitable pay per click marketing campaigns. This article will discuss what these essential keyword strategies are.

This is but one of a collection of articles I've written about creating profitable Adwords campaigns. Look out for my other informative pay per click article tutorials.

Understanding The Basics Of Keyword Matching

Keyword matching refers to Adwords matching your chosen target keywords to the search queries that people are typing into the Google search engine. There are four types of keyword matching that Adwords operates under:

1. Broad match

2. Phrase match

3. Exact match

4. Negative match

What Is Broad Keyword Matching

When you include any keyword phrase in your keyword list your ads will appear for your terms in any order and also possibly with other search terms. Phrase and exact matches are much more targeted than broad match phrases.

A Caution About Broad Keyword Matching

While broad keyword matching bring in a lot of traffic this is usually very untargeted traffic. It's critical to rid of unwanted but very expensive searches by using negative keywords. For example if you are selling something you wouldn't want to pay for clicks from people who are looking for what you are selling but at no price. As they are looking ultimately for free stuff even if they click they are likely not going to buy from you.

What Is Phrase Keyword Matching

Phrase keyword matching is useful when you are wanting to target specific word combinations. Phrase keyword matching will make your ad appear whenever the precise phrase is searched for and also when the keywords contain additional keywords with it.

What Is Exact Keyword Matching

Exact keyword matching is the most specific type of keyword matching. Your ad will only appear if the precise keywords are searched for. This means if there are additional keywords searched for in the phrase your ad won't appear. For this reason it's a good idea to use a few phrase matching and broad matching keywords as well.

Negative Keyword Matching

One of the most frequently used negative keywords is free. As well as free you may come across other terms that you don't want to target and waste your money on. Be very choosey when using negative keywords.

This is how to type in these keywords in your Google adwords account:

broad match: keyword as it is

phrase match: your keyword in quotes ""

exact match: your keyword in square brackets []

negative match: your keyword with a minus sign -

Peel And Sticking Keywords

If your time and budget is limited when starting out with pay per click marketing campaigns start with just a small number of ad groups as this will make your pay per click management much easier. Monitoring your keywords is absolutely critical when first start with pay per click marketing.

Write two good ads in your ad group. A good guide is to just have a different headline. Place several related keywords in the group and split test the ads. You only really need to do this for about 30 clicks each or so.

In your monitoring you will notice that some keywords are bringing in much more traffic than others. Now is the time to peel the most profitable keywords and stick them in their own ad
