Search Engine Marketing Tips and Tricks
May 21, 2007
Search Engine Marketing can be highly profitable if you attack it correctly. That doesn’t mean you set a daily ad budget of $20.00 with 150 keywords and let it run unmonitored. You have to refine the process and improve using the data that the SEM program is giving you.
Below you will find some tips and tricks of the SEM industry. These are things we do on a repeated basis, but you should be aware of them in your personal ad campaigns too.
- First step - use all the keywords that are justifiable for your product or target market. Keep your bids low to see what terms are search most.
- Take mispellings and domain names into account. Also include your product names.
- Make your ads clickable with a call to action.
- Once you are familiar with ad placement and keywords, split it up into individual campaigns.
- Do some research on dynamic keyword insertion. This will put the keyword that the user searched for in your ad automatically.
- Don’t waste your money trying to be in the top position.
- Make sure you apply the right metrics to account for the end result. In essence, if you are trying to sell something, make sure the SEM program is tracking it.
- Start with $5.00 a day and increase as you refine.
- If you only offer a product to a local area, don’t market to the whole world.
- Make sure to check out the tutorials the SEM agency provides. It will help with conversion.
