Choosing Your PPC Keywords

Just as a clever tagline can clinch the deal for a TV advertisement, the same way the right keywords are crucial for a good PPC campaign. The keywords can act as the foundation of your entire campaign. Strong keywords will help make your campaign a success but weak ones can lead to disastrous results.

In order to make a good keyword list you will need to make sure you do your research. Drill down and look into every likely keyword carefully. You can then choose the very best keywords for your campaign.

Here is an example to clarify the concept of keywords. “Real Estate” can be used as the base keyword.

Now, you must be aware that real estate is a very competitive keyword on the net. This is due to the fact that the commissions are very high.

The first thing to do is create your first list. Think of all the alternatives that your prospective clients could use to interpret the base word. Now for the word real estate, people can use words like real property, investment property etc. these words are still very similar to the base keyword therefore you should continue the search.

After this you will dig down into the different specialty markets of real estate. For example; commercial real estate and boarding houses etc. Then you will mix these sets of keywords and generate new ones.

You can also create an ad group that will focus entirely on real estate company names. You can also add a .com to the name or your own country extension. It would not matter if such a domain does not exist, sometimes people type similar things into the search engine giving you an opportunity to get your product some low cost clients.

It is unwise to use broad based keywords, instead try to use niche keywords that target your chosen market. Try to imagine that you are your potential client and think of the keywords they would use to search for your product.

Here are some points to note:

- Attach .net and .com to keywords.

- Company names, domain names, and variations may turn out to be effective.

- Add descriptive words such as best, cheap etc.

- You can check out your site log files; they will tell you what words and phrases your clients use.

- Your competitors sales copy is worth checking out.

Make sure to separate all these keywords into different lists. Place all the typos in one ad group, the plurals in another and similarly go on with the rest. This will lead to easy targeting of your ad.

Go ahead and make long lists of keywords with the help of the information provided in this article. With the right keywords there will be nothing standing in the way of your success. So build and cement your PPC campaign with a strong foundation of effective keywords. All the Best!
