Simple adwords by mahesh gangurde with lt's digital

To understand how AdWords works, it's important to familiarize yourself with some key building blocks -- like keywords, placements, Ad Rank, bids, and Quality Score.
Keywords = Keywords are words or phrases you choose that can trigger your ad to show on search and other sites. For example, if you deliver fresh flowers, you could use "fresh flower delivery" as one keyword in your AdWords campaign. When someone searches Google using the phrase "fresh flower delivery" or a similar term, your ad might appear next to Google search results. Your ad can also appear on other websites in the Google Network that are related to fresh flower delivery.
By creating a list of keywords that are relevant to your product or service, and making sure they're specific rather than general (for example, "fresh flower delivery" rather than simply "flower"), you typically can show your ad to the people who are most interested in your product or service. This improves your ad's performance and helps your advertising dollars go further.
Placements = Keywords can trigger your ads to appear next to search results on Google and other search sites. But keywords can also trigger your ads to show on other sites across the Internet -- Google-owned properties like YouTube and Google's partner sites like NYTimes.com or Families.com, for example. We call these "placements." A placement can consist of an entire website or just part of a site. And these websites are all part of what we call the Display Network.
Google can automatically determine where your ads appear by matching your keywords to websites in the Display Network. Or, if you'd like greater control over where your ads appear, you can pick specific placements yourself. You can set bids for each and choose the sites where your ads might appear.
Ad Rank = How Google determines which ads appear in which positions . It's done automatically, based on what we call Ad Rank. Your Ad Rank is based on a combination of your bid (how much you're willing to spend) and your Quality Score
Quality Score : a measurement of the quality of your ads, keywords, and website.
the important thing to know here is that the quality and relevance of your keywords, landing pages, and your ad are every bit as important to your ad's rank as the amount you're willing to spend.
With a keyword-targeted ad on Google and its search partners, your bid would be your maximum cost-per-click bid -- the maximum amount you're willing to pay for each click on your ad. Your Quality Score is based on the relevance of your keywords, the quality of your landing page, your ad's clickthrough rate (CTR), adjusted for its position on the page, and a few other factors.
In the case of a placement-targeted ad on the Google Display Network using Cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) bidding bidding, your Quality Score is simply based on the quality of your landing page.
At the end of the day, what you pay
You'll always pay the lowest amount possible for the best position you can get given your Quality Score and bid.
build your online vocabulary
1. Search phrases: Words or phrases that people use when searching online. The essence of the information, products, or services they want to find. Also referred to as: search terms and search queries.

2. Campaigns: Campaigns combine the following elements to help your ads show to the right people at the right time:
Keywords: Search phrases you think your customers may use when searching for something related to your offerings.
Ads : Your unique messages about your goods, products, or services. It can be text, image, or video so long as you describe your offering, include the key selling points, and tell customers how to respond.
Targeting methods: Conditions for when to show your ads such as location, language, and so much more.
3. Organic vs ads: Google splits search results into two types of lists:
Organic: List of websites that match someone’s search phrase. No one can pay to have their website show up in these results.
Ads: List of ads that match someone’s search phrase. Advertisers can pay to have their ads show based on the keywords and targeting methods they’ve chosen and the ads they’ve created. Ads are also referredto as paid results.
4. Impressions: Number of appearances your ad makes on a website, mobile app, or anywhere else the ad happens to show. It’s a unit of measurement, like magazine advertising has numbers of copies sold. Also referred to as: ad impressions
5. Avg. CPC or average cost-per-click: The average price you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. Avg. CPC is useful when you want to compare the performance of different keywords, campaigns, ads, etc. Also referred to as: pay-per-click.
[ Avg. CPC ] = [ Cost ] / [ Clicks ]
6. Landing pages: A web page where you send customers after they've clicked on your ads. It should include the same details, selling points, and promotional information as your ads.
How Google search results differ from ads
When people search on Google for something they want, they find two types of results: search results and AdWords ads. Search results appear as links on search results pages and aren't part of Google's advertising programs. AdWords ads appear under an "Ads" label and may be placed in several locations around the free search results.
1. AdWords ads Where they appear: Typically along the edge of the page (like the top, side, or bottom)
How they’re matched: Google matches ads to a person’s search based on how closely the search matches your keywords and campaign settings
How they’re ordered: Ads are ordered based on a combination of cost-per-click (CPC) bid and relevance
2. Search results Where they appear: Usually on the middle of the page
How they’re matched: Google matches sites to a person’s search using information like text on the page and links to that page
How they’re ordered: Results are ordered on the page based on things like relevance to the search term and popularity.
In addition to links to webpages, you may also see relevant results on a map that lists local business locations, contact information, and driving directions.
Google’s search results are independent of Google’s advertising programs.
it's important to clearly identify and prioritize the specific goals you want to achieve with your AdWords ads, and then manage your campaigns based on those goals
What's your goal?
Increase traffic to my website :

Focus on: clicks, clickthrough rate, keyword performance, search terms
Increase clicks and CTR
If you want to use AdWords to increase traffic to your site, try to focus on increasing your clicks and Clickthrough rate (CTR). You can achieve this by creating great ad text, organizing your ad groups by common theme, product, or goal, and creating smaller lists (20-30 terms long, for example) of tightly themed keywords to ensure that your ads are highly relevant and very compelling to your customers.
Maintain a good keyword list
You'll also want to keep an eye on the performance of your keywords, and remove and replace those that
aren't working for you. As a general rule of thumb, a CTR of 1% or higher and a Quality Score of 5 and above indicates keywords that are performing well.
Review your search terms
if you notice search terms that are irrelevant to your business, you can add them as negative keywords.
Increase sales or other types of conversions
wants to sell a lot of a particular product, or a non-profit organization that wants to encourage visitors to sign a petition for an important cause.
Focus on: conversion data, destination URLs
conversion occurs when someone clicks on your ad and takes an action on your website that
you think is valuable, whether it's a purchase, a newsletter sign-up, or a request to receive more information about your organization. The most important step you can take to increase your sales and other conversions is -- you guessed it -- to start paying close attention to your conversion data and updating your campaigns based on what you find out.
Choose relevant destination URLs
In addition to keeping track of conversions, you should also make sure that the destination
URL you use for each ad directs customers to the most relevant page within your website. Ideally, that webpage will be dedicated to the specific product or service that's highlighted in your ad.
I want to raise brand awareness
Focus on: impressions, customer engagement, reach and frequency
Increase impressions
If your advertising goal is branding, your main reason for advertising online is to raise awareness and
visibility of your product, service, or cause. Your goals might include increasing traffic to your website, and
encouraging customers to interact with or learn more about your brand. To achieve this, you'll want to drive
impressions to try to show your ads to as many people as possible within your target audience.
Drive customer engagement
While impressions represent how many customers laid eyes on your ad, customer engagement represents
how interesting your customers find your ads. Do they actually click on the ad or view a video? That means

they're engaged. You can use CTR for Search Network campaigns, and conversions for the Display Network campaigns to measure engagement. Use reach and frequency numbers to learn how many people are exposed to your ad, and how often they see it.
I want to increase my return-on-investment (ROI)
You can use an ROI calculation to compare two advertising campaigns against each other to see how much money you've made from each one.
Focus on: conversions
ROI is the ratio of your costs to your profits. To improve your ROI, you first need to start measuring conversions. Once you've accomplished that, you can evaluate your ROI to make sure that the dollars you spend on advertising are turning into profits for your business.
How costs are calculated in AdWords
AdWords gives you control over your advertising costs. There's no minimum amount that you have to
spend. You set an average daily budget and choose how you'll spend your money.
Every time someone searches on Google, AdWords runs an auction to determine the ads that show on the search results page, and their rank on the page. To place your ads in this auction, you first have to decide what type of customer action you'd like to pay for.
These are called your bidding options.
The number of times your ad shows.
This is known as a cost-per-thousand-impressions, or CPM, bid. We recommend the CPM bidding method if you want to increase awareness of your brand. Note that CPM bidding is available for Display Network campaigns only.
Each time one of your ads receives a click.
This is known as a cost-per-click, or CPC, bid. We recommend the CPC bidding method if you want to drive traffic to your website.
Each time people take a specific action on your website after clicking on one of your ads.
This is known as a cost-per-aquisition, or CPA, bid. We recommend the CPA bidding method for seasoned AdWords advertisers who are interested in conversions, like purchases or signups.
Control your costs
let's look at the ways you can control your costs:
Set a daily budget to control how much you spend
Your daily budget specifies the amount you're willing to spend each day,
Recall that when you set your max CPC bid, the amount you're charged for a click on your ad in a given
auction could be less than your max.
Google may allow up to 20% more clicks in a day than your daily budget specifies. We call this
overdelivery. Overdelivery can help make up for days when traffic is slow and your ads don't get as much
exposure. However, in a given billing period, you're never charged more than the average number of days in a month (roughly 30.4) times your daily budget.
If the budget for your ad campaign remains at $10 per day throughout an entire month, the
maximum amount you would be charged for that campaign for that month is $304 ($10 x 30.4
average days per month).
Fine-tune your bids

If you use the cost-per-click bidding option, you set a maximum CPC bid for your ads. You can always
lower your bid amount, but if you do, it may cause your ads to show up in a lower position on the first page
of search results, to move from the top to the side or bottom position, or to be removed from the first page
search results. In general, a higher maximum CPC bid can allow your ad to show at a higher position on the page.
You can have your bids automatically updated, based on the daily budget you've set. Then the
system will actively seek out the most clicks possible given your budget. This option is called
automatic bidding.
Create more relevant ads to get the most for your money
You can raise your maximum CPC bid to try to get your ad to show at a higher position on the page. But you can also raise your ad's position by improving the quality of your ads, keywords, and website, without
increasing costs. To encourage high-quality ads, Google uses a measurement called Quality
Score. The higher the quality of your ad, the less you pay for a given ad position, and vice versa.
Let's say your maximum CPC bid is $2. Meanwhile, your competitor has a maximum CPC bid
of $3 but the quality of his ads are below average. Because of the higher quality of your ads,
your ad could actually show in a higher spot on the page, even though your bid is lower.
Understanding ad position and Ad Rank
Ad position is the order in which your ad shows up on a page. For example, an ad position of "1" means that your ad is the first ad on a page. Ad position is determined by your Ad Rank in the auction.
Your Ad Rank is a score that's based on your bid and your Quality Score. If you're using the cost- per-click bidding option, your bid is how much you're willing to pay for a single click on your ad. Your Quality Score is a measurement of how relevant and useful your keyword, ad text, and landing page are to what a user is searching for. To improve your ad position, you can increase your bid, or you can focus on improving your Quality Score.
How ads cycle through the search result pages
When a customer browses to subsequent search result pages (for example, they click Next to see additional pages of search results), the following two rules typically apply for which ads are eligible to show where:
"Top" placement (top of the page): All high-ranking ads are eligible to show in the top positions, provided
they exceed a certain Quality Score and cost-per-click (CPC) bid threshold. Up to three ads can show in the top positions on each page.
"Other" placement (side or bottom of the page): The side and bottom of a search results page is recorded as "Other" in your AdWords statistics, and can show up to eight ads. Typically, ads that haven't previously appeared in the side or bottom placements are eligible to appear in the side or bottom. For example, if an ad appeared on the side of Page 1, it typically won't appear on the side for Page 2 or later.

Because Quality Score and thresholds are recalculated on every page, ads may sometimes appear in a top
spot on one page and then again in an "Other" spot on a subsequent page (or appear in the "Other" spot on one page, and then again in a top spot on the next page). An ad typically will only be shown once in an "Other" spot and will not appear again in that spot on subsequent pages.
Where to find your average ad position
Sign in to your AdWords account at http://adwords.google.com .
Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
Look for the Avg. Pos. column in the statistics table. If you don't see this column in your table, you can add
this column by clicking the Columns button in the toolbar above the statistics table.
You can also click the Ads or Keywords tab to see your average position by ads or by keywords. To see how often your ads have appeared on the top of the page, on the side of the page, or on the bottom of the page, you can segment your data. (segment means part, piece, division)
The Google Network
name for the places where your AdWords ad can appear, including Google sites,
webpages that partner with us, and other placements like mobile phone apps. It's as if you're presenting your message to a stadium full of fans -- Google collects a crowd of interested people and brings them to the stadium, then you start the show. This bundle of sites we call the Google Network is divided into groups to give you more control over where you'd like your ad to appear:
Search Network:
Google Search, Google Shopping, Google Maps, Google Images, and Google Groups. Search sites that partner with Google (search partners), such as AOL
Display Network:
Google sites (like YouTube, Blogger, and Gmail) and thousands of partnering websites across the Internet
The Google Network can connect you with customers at the exact moment when they're doing an activity online that relates to what you offer -- like searching for your product or reading a blog about your industry. Because your ads can be shown in relevant places, you have a better chance of turning viewers into customers. By understanding what our network is and how you can control your network settings, you can take advantage of this world of interested customers.
For each of your ad campaigns, you'll choose network settings that tell Google where you'd like your ad to show. You can choose Google Search and Google Shopping, or the entire Search Network (including other Google search sites like Maps and Images, and search sites that partner with Google), just the Display Network, or all networks.
About the Google Display Network
The Display Network is a collection of partner websites and specific Google websites -- including Google Finance, Gmail, Blogger, and YouTube -- that show AdWords ads. This network also includes mobile sites and apps. If you've ever seen an AdWords ad on your favorite news site or in your Gmail account, and wondered how it got there, now you know: Websites like these are part of the Google Display Network.
When showing ads on the Display Network, you can reach a wide range of customers with broad

interests, choose which sites or pages to appear on, and engage users with appealing ad formats.
Reach new customers : When user is surfing websites
Select where your ads appear: Within the Display Network, you can choose more specifically where you want your ads to appear -- you can select types of pages or specific websites for your ads, as well as audiences to show your ads to.
Engage users with appealing ad formats: Text, image, video, or rich media formats can appear on the
Display Network.
From millions of partner websites, news pages, and blogs to Google websites including Gmail and YouTube, the Display Network can help you show your message to more customers.
Matching your ad to sites in the Display Network
Finding the right audience across millions of websites can be difficult. The Google Display Network lets you put your message in front of potential customers at the right place and at the right time in several ways.
Reach users by keywords and topics: Using contextual targeting, AdWords finds the best places for your ad across the Google Display Network, based on your keywords. This can help you show your ad to an audience that’s interested in your business and more likely to take action.
Choose specific sites or pages: Put your message on the websites you think are the best match for your
business using placement targeting. By adding managed placements, you can show your ad on specific
webpages, online videos, games, RSS feeds, and mobile sites and apps that you select. You can even block your ads from sites you don't think are relevant.
Find users who are already interested in what you have to offer: Show your ads on Display Network
websites to specific groups of people. You can reach people who visited your site before by creating a
remarketing campaign, or customers interested in specific categories, by adding interest categories. Then, you can show them highly relevant messages as they browse other sites on the Google Display Network.
Ad types on the Display Network : Text ads, Image ads - ads that include photos or artwork, Rich media ads - ads with animation or other types of motion, Video ads,
Where ads might appear in the Display
Network
If you choose to run your campaigns on the Display Network, your ads can appear across a large
collection of partner websites and specific Google websites -- including Google Finance, Gmail, Blogger, and YouTube -- that show AdWords ads. This network also includes mobile sites and apps that show ads (these are called mobile display partners).
But you're still in control of your ad targeting. You can do the following:
Narrow or expand your focus at any time by changing the countries or regions for your campaigns. Your ads appear on Display Network sites based on your campaign location settings.
Choose specific websites where you'd like your ads to appear and sites where you'd like to prevent your ads from appearing. Select specific types of audiences to reach with your ads.
To show your ads on the Display Network, you’ll need to use one of the following campaign types:

"Search & Display Networks - All features"
"Display Network only – All features"
"Display Network only – Mobile apps"
"Display Network only – Remarketing"
Where your ads can appear and who might see them based on your targeting
Methods
Ads on the Display Network appear on websites and webpages – not search results pages. They can appear on automatic or managed placements only if the sites are part of the Display Network. This network includes sites available through Google AdSense, including AdSense for domains and AdSense for errors, as well as DoubleClick Ad Exchange publisher sites.
When you've decided that you'd like to show your ads on the Display Network, you can tell AdWords where you'd like your ads to appear or what audience you'd like to reach by choosing from these different targeting methods:
Keywords: Your ads appear on the Display Network based on your keyword list. For Display Network pages, Google uses contextual targeting to match keywords to webpage content.
Placements: Your ads can appear on websites or placements that you hand-pick (these are called "managed placements") from the Display Network.
Audiences: Your ads are shown to specific audiences on Display Network websites. You can reach people
who visited your site before by creating a remarketing campaign, or customers interested in specific
categories, by adding interest categories.
Topics: Your ads appear on multiple pages about a specific topic. Google uses contextual targeting, just like with keywords, to match your ad to relevant webpages about specific topics you select. "Topics" is the
AdWords term for specific themes or categories, such as agriculture or music. If you'd like to target pages with specific content, you can select one or more topics so your ads appear on pages about those topics.
Mobile devices: Your ads can be shown to customers who visit Display Network websites from full-browser mobile devices, like iPhone or Android devices. Your ads can also appear on mobile apps, which are considered part of our Display Network.
About contextual targeting
AdWords uses contextual targeting to match your ads to relevant sites on the Google Display Network
using your keywords or topics, among other factors. Contextually targeted ads offer useful information to readers, and attract an audience interested in your message.
Contextual targeting is used when an ad group has keywords or topics and the campaign is set to show ads on the Display Network.
To use contextual targeting, you’ll need to use one of the following campaign types:
"Search & Display Networks - All features"
"Display Network only – All features"
"Display Network only – Remarketing"
How contextual targeting works
Our system analyzes the content of each Display Network webpage or URL, considering the site's text, language, link structure, page structure, and more. From these factors, we determine the central theme of each webpage and match this theme to your ad using your keywords and

topic selections, plus your language and location targeting and other settings. Sometimes, we might show ads when keywords match the content of pages a person has recently browsed.
When AdWords uses contextual targeting to automatically place your ad on sites based on your keywords, your ad is matched to what we call automatic placements. These are different from managed
placements, which are websites or webpages that you manually add to your ad groups.
Add exclusions to improve your contextual targeting
You can fine-tune ad groups for contextual targeting by adding exclusions. From within your ad group or campaign, you can do two things:
Exclude specific sites or types of sites that you don't want your ads to appear on, such as competitor sites or low conversion rate sites, or websites that aren't appropriate for your audience or ads.
Exclude many pages about a specific topic at once.

Understanding alerts, announcements,
and notifications
There are three types of messages you might see in your AdWords account: alerts, announcements, and notifications. We send them to keep you informed about your account and new AdWords features.
Alerts
What it's used for = Important messages to help keep your account active and running, Messages about potential problems to fix
Where it appears = In red at the top of a tab , Together with announcements in a section on the left of your Home tab, In the "Messages" section at the top of each tab
Example uses = If your ads aren't running, If your billing information needs to be updated, If a negative keyword is blocking a positive keyword
Announcements
What it's used for = Product-related messages to let you know about updates to AdWords. These might not
apply to everyone and are usually not critical to keeping your account running
Where it appears = On the Announcements page, which you can find at the very top of each page, Together with alerts in a section on the left of your Home tab

Example uses = An announcement of a new feature in AdWords to help you better track your ads
Notifications
What it's used for = Optional messages to keep you updated on the performance of your account
Where it appears = Either in your account or by email
Example uses = An email with performance reports about a certain ad campaign
Organizing your account for success
A good rule of thumb for creating an effective campaign structure is to mirror your website's structure. By creating campaigns and ad groups around a specific theme or product, you can create keyword lists that directly relate to the corresponding ad text, and ads that link directly to that product's page in your website.
For example, a furniture store's website is likely to have different sections for each type of product, like bedroom furniture and dining room furniture. The website might also have separate sections or pages for each specific product, like a certain bed or model of table.
This format can be changed to match your business and the scope of your advertising. For example, if you sell many types of beds, you can have a "Beds" campaign with ad group themes like "Bunk beds," "Queen size beds," and "Sofa beds." If you also sell tables, you can add a "Tables" campaign and create ad groups organized in a similar way. Or, if you sell only one product or service, you can create a simple campaign structure around that product.
If your business serves several areas, you might create a separate campaign for each location. For example, if you have a store in France and one in Italy, set up two separate campaigns, each targeting one of these locations. Each campaign should be translated to the local language and should emphasize that your services or products are available in that country.
Local businesses such as real estate developers might create a campaign for each area they want to
target, and create different ads for each city or metropolitan area they cover. Even if you target one
geographic area, if you're running a promotion in a specific city, you might create a campaign
targeting that city only.
AdWords Editor is a free Google application for managing your AdWords ad campaigns. You can use it to make changes to your account quickly and conveniently, whether you're editing one keyword or adding hundreds of text ads.
Organize your campaign to mirror your website The account contains everything relating to the furniture store. The campaigns are organized around broad product areas (like bedroom furniture and dining room
furniture). Each campaign contains several ad groups that focus on one specific product (like tables and beds).
How adwords is organized
Adwords is organized into three layers: account, campaigns, and ad groups.
Your account is associated with a unique email address, password, and billing information.
Your ad compaign has its own budget and setting that determine where your ads appear.
Your ad group contains a set of similar ads and the words and phrases, known as keywords, that you want to trigger your ads to show.

Why you should organize your ads into ad groups and campaigns
When people are searching online and they type a word or phrase, they’re looking for information that’s closely tied to those words. For example, if Eric types “digital cameras” and he sees an ad for film reels, he won’t click the ad.
To show ads that are relevant to the searches of people you’re trying to reach, bundle related ads with related keywords. In other words, create ad groups. A collection of ad group forms a compaign. Your compaign is the master control for your ad groups where you can choose how much you’re willing to spend on clicks or conversion from your ads, the networks and geographical locations where you want your ads to show, and other top-level settings that affect clusters of ad groups.
Lets say you own an online electronics store and you create an adwords account so you can begin to advertise the products that you sell. At the account level you can choose who else you’d like to have access to your adwords account, and your prefereed payment method. The top-most layer of your account might be e.g. “Online Electronics Store”
You have decided to advertise your inventory of “television” and “cameras” and create two separate campaigns for each. Splitting your account into two campaigns ensure that you can devote at least half of your online advertising budget to each product area.
Focusing on your camera compaign you might create various ad groups for different types of cameras like digital cameras and compact cameras.
With particular ad group, such as digital cameras, you choose keywords that are very closely linked to your ad text. Types of keywords are might try are different brands, models, and prices for digital cameras.
Tying it all together, your overall account structure might look like this.
Accounts
Online Electronics Store
Compaign
Compaing
Budget Television
Budget Cameras
Ad Group
Ad Group
Ad Group
Ad Group
Flat Screen TVs
Plasma TVs
Digital Camera
Compact Camera
A common method for organizing an adwords account is to organize it the way your website is structured.
Adwords account limits
10,000 compaigns (including active and paused campaigns)
20,000 ad groups per campaigns
20,000 ad group targeting items per ad group (such as keywords, placements, audience lists, and product targets)
300 display ads per ad group (include image ads)
50 text ads per ad group
Before you create your first ad campaign, take the time to create build a mental profile of the customers

you’re trying to reach. Considering your customers' preferences, habits, and traits can help you choose the
right settings for your campaign.
Words and phrases they use to search online: If you run a furniture store, think about the keywords
Understanding your customers that your potential customers might use to search for furniture. Would they use general search terms like “furniture” or “furniture store”? It's more likely that a customer would use more specific terms based on what they’re looking for, such as “buy sectional sofa” or “dining room chairs.”
Types of websites they visit: Think about the kinds of websites your customers might be interested in.
Will people looking for furniture also visit home improvement websites, websites related to interior
design, or websites tailored to new parents? Consider what types of web content would be a good
match for your furniture ads.
Geographical location: Think about where your potential customers are. If you only offer furniture
delivery to customers in your city, then you should limit your campaign’s targeting to your city. This
helps make sure that you only pay for clicks on your ads from people who live in your delivery area and
can purchase your furniture.
How they contact you: Consider how you want your customers to get in touch with you. If you want
them to come to your store in person, you can highlight location information in your ads. Or maybe you’d

with ad extensions
Once you understand who your customers are, think about how much you want to spend to reach them with your ads, and what results you're expecting for your campaign to be a success. AdWords lets you set an average daily budget for each campaign based on your advertising goals and the general amount you're comfortable spending each day.
AdWords is organized into three layers: account, campaigns, and ad adgroup
1. Your account is associated with a unique email address, password, and billing information.
2. Each ad campaign has its own budget and settings that determine where your ads appear.
3. Your ad group contains a set of similar ads and the words and phrases, known as keywords, that
trigger your ads to show. A collection of ad groups forms a campaign. Use ad groups to bundle related
ads with related keywords to show ads that are relevant to the searches of people you’re trying to
reach.
Understanding your campaign settings
Now that you have a better picture of the customers you’re trying to reach, you’re ready to consider the campaign settings that suit your goals. The campaign settings you select will apply

to all ads within the same campaign. The type of campaign you choose determines which settings are available to you.
General : you should choose a name that clearly describes the theme of the campaign so that you can easily find it in your account. Your campaign name isn't visible to your customers.
Type : this include search network, display network, shopping, video compaign, search and display network only. Many new advertisers start with a standard “Search and display” campaign type,
which offers a wide variety of potential placements for your ads.
Locations and languages : Your campaign’s ads are eligible to show to customers located or interested
in the location setting you choose and using Google in the language you specified.
Networks and devices : Select Networks where you want your ad to appear, such as on search results pages like Google (“Search Network”), on other sites that partner with Google to show ads (“Display Network”), or both. By default, new campaigns target all types of devices, which include desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Later, you can choose to customize ads for different devices.
Bidding and budget : Choose to manually set your bids for clicks on your ads or let AdWords do it
for you. Depending on your campaign type, you may see additional bidding options to choose from.
Your bid strategy controls how you pay for users to interact with your ads.Your default bid is the most you’ll pay per click for ads in an ad group. Your budget is the average amount you’re comfortable spending each day on your campaign. The budget you choose is entirely up to you, and you can adjust it at any time.
Ad extensions : Include even more information with your ads, such as location information,
links to pages on your website, your phone number, and your Google+ page.
Advanced settings : 1) Schedule: Set a campaign start and end date. 2) Ad scheduling: Choose certain days or hours of the week for your ads to show. 3) Ad delivery: By default, AdWords shows your ads when they're more likely to get clicks or conversions, but you can choose to show your ads
more evenly throughout the day.
After you've saved your campaign settings, you'll be taken to the "Create ad and keywords" page. This is
where you’ll create the ad group within your campaign. An ad group is made up of a set of keywords, ads,
and bids. Each ad campaign consists of one or more ad groups.
Here you’ll choose your ad format, create your ad, and select the keywords you think your customers would
use when searching for information related to your products or services.
Creating a text ad

To create a text ad, follow these steps:
1. In the "Create an ad" section, select Text ad.
2. Type in your headline, description, display URL, and destination URL. The display URL is the web
address, usually your website’s home page, that’s shown to customers with your ad, while the
destination URL takes customers to a specific page within your website. Both URLs should contain the
same domain name. For example, an ad with www.google.com as the display URL and
www.google.com/ads as the destination URL is acceptable because they share the domain name,
“google.com”
3. Enter your keywords in the "Keywords" section. We recommend starting with 10-20 keywords. You can
always edit or add more keywords later. Learn how to choose keywords and placements when you
create a campaign.
4. Click Save. If this is your first campaign, click Save and continue to billing. Your ads can't run if you
haven't submitted your billing information.
Choose the compaign type that’s right for you
Compaign Type : determine which types of ads you can design and where customers can see them.
For Example :
You have a small but busy home repair business that earns the most revenue from plumbing repairs. A “Search Network- standard” compaign let you skip all of the advanced settings and just target your ads towards high potential customers searching for home plumbing services.
You work in Public relation and want to increase exposure for a new band. A “Search & Display Network – All Features” compaign lets you reach the largest audience by targeting people for music, and people browsing the music- themed sites you specify within the Google Display Network
INCOMPLETE
Budgets and bidding
you choose a daily budget for each campaign based on your advertising goals and the general amount you're comfortable spending each day.
Let's say your cost-per-click is $0.10 on average, and you'd like around 100 clicks per day. You might budget $10 per day.
Using this example, here's how you'd figure out your daily budget:
$0.10 x 100 = $10 per day (Cost-per-click x Clicks per day = Daily budget)

If you're used to working with a monthly advertising budget, you can calculate the amount you might budget per day by dividing your monthly budget by 30.4 – the average number of days per month.
Let's say you normally spend $304 per month on advertising. To figure out your daily budget, you'd divide $304 by 30.4 and would get a daily budget of $10.
Using this example, here's how you'd figure out your daily budget:
304 / 30.4 = $10 per day (Monthly budget / Average number of days per month = Daily budget)
A limited budget could mean fewer clicks and impressions than you might have otherwise earned, whereas a bloated (FULL/EXPAND) budget may actually increase the cost per click of your ads if you're using automatic bidding. You can check the Status column on your Campaigns tab to see whether any of your campaigns show a "Limited by budget" status.
Set your daily budget
Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
Click the Campaigns tab.
Click + Campaign and select the campaign type you'd like to create:
"Search Network with Display Select"
"Search Network only"
"Display Network only"
On the "Select campaign settings" page, scroll to the "Budget" section and enter an individual daily budget or use a shared budget.
You can change your daily budget at any time and as many times as you like. Here's how to edit your daily campaign budget from the Campaigns tab:
In the Campaigns table, click the budget you'd like to edit.
Enter a new campaign budget.
Click Save.
Here's how to edit your daily campaign budget from a campaign's Settings tab:

Why costs might exceed your average daily budget
AdWords helps you maximize your return on investment (ROI) by showing your ads more often on days when Search traffic is higher.
When your ads are shown more often, your total daily cost might be up to 20% more than your average daily budget. However, you won't be charged more than your average daily budget multiplied by the average number of days in a month (30.4).
Why campaigns might cost more than their daily budget
For each of your ad campaigns, you'll set a daily budget — the amount that you've budgeted to spend on your ads each day. If you've noticed that the total daily cost of your campaign is more than your daily budget amount, that means your campaign is spending more of your budget on days with higher Search traffic and less on days with lower traffic. Search traffic can fluctuate for several reasons: whether it's the weekend or weekday, or due to seasonality and holidays.

About the monthly charging limit
If your budget is US$10 per day throughout an entire month, the maximum you'd be charged is US$304 in that billing cycle. Here's the math:
US$10 (daily budget) x 30.4 (average days per month) = US$304
Avoid a depleted daily budget
If you have a limited budget, you want to make the most of every cent you spend on your advertising campaign. When your budget is limited, your ad might not show as frequently as you'd like -- or might not show at all. Instead of discontinuing your campaigns and missing out on clicks, or spending more than you can comfortably afford, we'll share some techniques for spending your budget more effectively:
Lower your bids for campaigns that are "limited by budget," potentially reducing the average cost per click.
Let AdWords automatically bid for you to get as many clicks as possible with your campaign's current daily budget
Choose "Standard delivery" for your ads, instead of "Accelerated delivery."
Look at the recommended budget to estimate how a different budget could improve your performance.
Change your delivery method from "Accelerated" to "Standard"
Think of "Accelerated delivery" like jet fuel. It's likely to use up your campaign's daily budget early in the day by showing your ads more quickly until your budget is reached. "Standard delivery" is like a slow-burning candle. The delivery of your ads is spread more evenly throughout the day.
If you're using manual bidding, by default your campaign will be set to "Standard delivery." It's not possible to use "Accelerated delivery" with automatic bidding.
Find your campaign's "recommended budget"
AdWords shows recommended budgets for campaigns that repeatedly meet their daily budget but have the potential to earn more clicks and impressions. You can use them to estimate how a new budget may improve the visibility of your campaign's ads. The recommendations are based on a detailed analysis of your campaign's performance from the past 15 days, along with the other factors listed below:
Recent campaign performance
Current campaign budget
Keyword list
Campaign targeting settings
Select the Settings tab within the campaign you want to edit.
Next to "Budget," click Edit.
Click View Recommended Budget.
Review the recommended new daily budget, if there is one, including any guidance regarding potential traffic. When you decide what your new budget will be, enter the new amount.
Click Save.
Understanding bidding basics
AdWords gives you several ways to bid for your ads, depending on what matters most to you and your business. Most advertisers focus on clicks, impressions, or conversions.
Focus on clicks

If your main goal is to have people visit your website, then clicks are a good place to start. Use cost-per-click (CPC) bidding and you'll pay only when someone actually clicks on your ad and comes to your site.
CPC bidding gives you these choices:
Automatic bidding
This is the easiest way to bid. Set a daily budget and let AdWords adjust your CPC bids to bring you the most clicks possible within that budget.
Manual bidding
Take full control of your CPC bids. Manual bidding lets you set bids at the ad group level, or for individual keywords or ad placements, so you know you're bidding just what you want for the clicks that mean the most to you.
FOR EXAMPLE : If you run a hiking club in Vermont, you might want to bid a lot for direct-hit keywords like "Vermont hiking" and a different amount for broader keywords like "hiking maps."
Focus on impressions
Instead of paying by the click, you can pay by the number of times your ad is shown, if your campaign is targeting just the Display Network. That's called cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) bidding, since you pay for every 1,000 times your ad appears. If you're mostly interested in getting your name or logo in front of lots of people, this is a smart option.
CPM bidding, like CPC manual bidding, lets you set bids at the ad group level, or for individual placements. Note that CPM bidding is only available for the following campaign types:
"Display Network only - All features"
"Display Network only - Remarketing"
Focus on conversions
With this advanced bidding method, you tell AdWords the amount you're willing to pay for a conversion, or cost-per-acquisition (CPA). A conversion (sometimes called an acquisition) is a particular action you want to see on your website. Often that's a sale, but it could be an email sign-up or some other action. You pay for each click, but AdWords will automatically set your bids for you to try to get you as many conversions as possible at the cost-per-acquisition you specified.
To use CPA bidding you must have conversion tracking turned on, among other things, so CPA bidding is suited for intermediate and advanced AdWords users.
Conversion tracking
A free tool in your account that can help measure how clicks on your ads lead to meaningful actions such as sales or leads.
To use conversion tracking, you or someone else will need to edit your website's HTML code to add a small bit of tracking code called a tag. This code will place a cookie on a user's computer or mobile phone when he or she clicks your ad. If the user reaches one of your conversion pages, AdWords looks for the cookie and records a successful conversion for you.
Determining a bid strategy based on your goals
AdWords offers several bid strategies that are tailored to different types of campaigns. Depending on which networks your campaign is targeting, and whether you want to focus on getting clicks, impressions, or conversions, you can determine which strategy is best for you.
For the purposes of bidding, you'll want to consider three basic types of goals, along with your current campaign settings.

If you want to generate traffic to your website, focusing on clicks could be ideal for you. Cost- per-click (CPC) bidding -- manual or automatic -- may be right for your campaign.
If you want to increase brand awareness -- not drive traffic to your site -- focusing on impressions may be your strategy. You can use cost per thousand impression (CPM) bidding to put your message in front of customers.
If you want customers to take a direct action on your site, and you're using conversion tracking, then it may be best to focus on conversions. Cost-per-acquisition (CPA) bidding lets you do that.
Focus on clicks with CPC bidding
If you're focusing on gaining clicks to generate traffic to your website, there are two cost-per- click bid strategies you should consider:
Automatic CPC bidding is the simplest and most commonly used bid strategy. All you have to do is set a daily budget, and the AdWords system automatically manages your bids to bring you the most clicks possible within your budget.
Manual CPC bidding is the default strategy to let you manage your maximum CPC bids yourself. You can set different bids for each ad group in your campaign, or for individual keywords or placements. If you've found that certain keywords or placements are more profitable, you can use manual bidding to allocate more of your advertising budget to those keywords or placements.
Automatic CPC bidding could be a good option for you if the following describes your campaign:
You have an advertising budget you'd like to reach consistently.
You don't want to spend time monitoring and updating individual cost-per-click (CPC) bids, and you're willing to let the AdWords system update CPC bids automatically.
You're mainly interested in increasing website traffic.
You're new to AdWords or don't know exactly how much to bid for particular keywords or placements.
FOR EXAMPLE : You have a website that sells a variety of art supplies, and your main goal is to bring more customers to your site. You have a set amount that you want to spend on advertising each month, and there isn't a particular product you want to emphasize most. Automatic CPC bidding lets you decide the overall amount of your budget, then we'll find you the most customers based on that.
With manual CPC bidding, you can fine-tune your maximum CPC bids to help control the cost and volume of clicks on your ads. Manual CPC bidding could be a good choice for you if your campaign fits this description:
You'd like to control maximum CPC bids for individual ad groups, keywords, or placements.
You're mainly interested in increasing website traffic, not necessarily brand awareness.
You don't need to reach a target budget every month. (If you do need to reach a target budget, automatic bidding may be a better choice.)
Your campaign targets the Search Network, the Display Network, or both.
If you're not sure which keywords or placements are most profitable, or if you don't have time to devote to managing manual bids, automatic bidding is probably a better fit for you.
FOR EXAMPLE : Although your website sells a wide range of art supplies, you're most interested in selling paint brushes. With manual CPC bidding, even if your ad group has 15 keywords, you can choose to set a higher bid for only the keyword "paint brushes," which will apply whenever that keyword triggers your ad.
Focus On Impressions With Manual CPM Bidding

Manual bidding for impressions, also known as CPM bidding, lets you control the visibility of your ads by fine-tuning your maximum CPM bids.
Here are some cases in which we'd recommend manual CPM bidding:
Your campaign type is "Display Network only - Remarketing", not Google Search Network.
Your ads are designed to increase awareness, but not necessarily generate clicks or traffic.
You prefer the traditional industry metrics of CPM (cost-per-thousand impressions) campaigns.
You're targeting particular placements, not just keywords. (Combined with placement targeting, bidding for impressions can help ensure your ads appear to a specific audience that will be interested in your ads.)
You're mainly interested in increasing brand awareness. Image ads and other multimedia formats often serve that purpose best, and these ad formats run on the Display Network.
Your message is in the ad itself, so you don't need people to click through to your site. This may apply to events (such as a television premiere) or political advertising.
Focus On Conversions With CPA Bidding
CPA (cost-per-acquisition) bidding is an advanced option that lets you bid directly for conversions.
Your campaign must meet a few requirements in order to be eligible to use CPA bidding:
You have conversion tracking enabled.
Your campaign has received at least 15 conversions in the last 30 days. The AdWords system requires this conversion history in order to make accurate predictions about your future conversion rate.
Your campaign has been receiving conversions at a similar rate for at least a few days.
Your campaign targets the Search Network, the Display Network, or both.
We also recommend your account meet these criteria:
Your campaign has been using conversion tracking for at least two weeks. The AdWords system relies on historical conversion data, so the longer conversion tracking has been running, the more data the system has and the better job it can do optimizing your ROI. If your campaign receives low traffic, we suggest running conversion tracking even longer before trying CPA bidding.
Your campaign is direct-response oriented. For example, the campaign focuses on generating sign-ups or sales on an e-commerce website.
Your campaign has a single well-defined conversion type, such as a completed purchase or sign- up.
Your campaign has a relatively stable conversion rate, with no major changes (such as redefining the conversion event or moving the conversion tracking code) within the last two weeks.
Adjust your keyword bids
When you select each keyword, you can choose how much you're willing to pay whenever a customer searches on that keyword and clicks your ad. This is your keyword's maximum cost- per-click, or max CPC, bid amount. Some advertisers like the control they maintain with manual bids, while others are comfortable letting the AdWords system make bids for them.
Use automatic bidding to simplify bidding
Automatic bidding is ideal for advertisers who don't want to spend a lot of time setting bids, but would like to get the most clicks possible for their ads within their budget. You don't need to specify individual bids for your keywords, ad groups, or placements. All you do is set a daily

budget, and the AdWords system automatically adjusts your max CPC bids to bring you the most clicks possible within your budget. For more control over your bids, you can set a CPC bid limit if you don't want to exceed a particular price per click
Use manual bidding for more control over bidding
This is the default option to let you manage your max CPC bids yourself. You can set bids at the ad group level, or for individual keywords. Your ad group's default bid amount will be applied to all keywords in your new campaign's ad group. You may change your bid amount at any time for any or all keywords. You also may change this value for individual keywords via the max CPC column on the Keywords tab.
Find keyword bids for first page ad position
If it's important for you to have your ad show on the first page of Google search results, first page bid estimates will show you an approximate CPC bid needed for your ad to regularly reach the first page of Google search results when a search query exactly matches your keyword. The estimate is based on the keyword's Quality Score and current advertiser competition for that keyword, so there's no guarantee you'll consistently be on the first page
Get your ads to show on the first page
First page bid estimates
The estimated first page bid (Est. first page bid) amount approximates the cost-per-click (CPC) bid needed for your ad to reach the first page of Google search results when a search query exactly matches your keyword. This estimate is based on the Quality Score and current advertiser competition for that keyword.
You can also find your Est. top page bid using the instructions below
To view the estimated first page bid metric in your stats table, just follow these steps:
Visit the Keywords tab and click the Columns button.
Select Customize columns from the drop-down menu.
In the "Attributes" drop-down menu, add Est. first page bid, and click Save.
4. You can do the same to view your estimated top of page bid (Est. top page bid).
If your first page bid estimate is very high, it may mean that your keyword's Quality Score is poor. You can click the help bubble next to your keyword to find details about the keyword's Quality Score (note that you can customize your columns to always show Quality Score). You can also check out a list of optimization tips that can help you improve your Quality Scores and lower your costs.
The first page bid estimate is a guide, meant to give you greater insight with which to plan your bidding strategy -- but meeting your first page bid estimate isn’t a guarantee of ad position. Ad position will still depend on competition from other advertisers, the components of your Quality Score (expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience)

Find keyword bids for top of page ad position
If your goal is to have your ad in the top spot on the first page, top of page bid estimates will show you an approximate CPC bid needed for your ad to appear above the first page of Google search results when a search query exactly matches your keyword. This estimate is similar to the first page bid estimate.

If you have a "Search & Display Networks" campaign, we use your keyword bid for both networks. We encourage you to keep this setting. However, if you prefer, you can set a Display Network bid that will override all keyword bids for the Display Network.
If you have a "Display Network only" campaign, we suggest setting ad group bids. We also encourage you to set specific bids for your keywords based on how they're performing.
Choose a bid amount that works for you
If you're just starting out in AdWords, go with a budget and bid amount that you’re comfortable with.
After your ads have run for a while, evaluate which keywords are more effective in bringing in sales, using reports in your account.
Adjust your bids to spend more on keywords that are proven to work. This can improve your ad position for those keywords and attract more customers.
The right bid for you will depend on the cost of your keywords, the type of campaign you're running, and your profits.
Most people starting out in AdWords use cost-per-click bidding to pay for each click on their ads. With this option, you set amaximum cost-per-click bid (max. CPC bid) that's the highest amount that you're willing to pay for a click on your ad. Set your bid by thinking about how much an ad click is worth to you. If you’re unsure what bid to start with, try setting a max. CPC bid of US$1.
Let's say you own a skateboard shop and you make US$10 from every skateboard purchase. You've seen that on average, one in 10 visits to your website results in a purchase. If you set a max. CPC bid of US$1, you’ll break even (advertising costs = sales).To make a profit, you should spend less than US$1 to get a click on your ad, which means you’ll want to set your max. CPC bid below US$1.
When you set a max. CPC bid in a new campaign, it's applied to the keywords you choose for your ad group. You can change this ad group default bid at any time. If certain keywords are more relevant to your business than others, you can choose to set different bids for them in order to increase your chances of having your ad appear when people search with those keywords. These are called keyword bids. To make changes to individual keywords, click the bid amount in the “Max. CPC” column for that keyword.
You can also set bid adjustments to increase or decrease your bids based on whether someone is searching from a mobile device, at a certain time of day, or from specific locations.
You run a store in San Francisco and you’ve set a max. CPC bid of US$1. You could use bid adjustments to increase your chances of showing your ad to customers in your neighborhood. For example, you could set a +20% adjustment for nearby areas, resulting in a final bid amount of US$1.20. Here's the math:
Starting bid: $1 Location adjustment: $1 x (+20%) = $1.20 Resulting bid for nearby searches: $1.20
Evaluate your costs and revenue
Once your ads have been running for a while, see how they're doing. If your goal is to drive sales and website traffic, ask yourself these questions:
What keywords lead to the most clicks on your ads?
What locations and devices are your customers searching from?
What are the peak days and times for business sales?

Adjust your bids to increase your return on investment
Once you’ve identified which keywords, locations, times, and devices are getting good results, you can adjust your bids accordingly. For instance, if a keyword has a low average CPC but each click converts well, you may try increasing its max. CPC bid. This could improve the ad’s average position for that keyword, giving your ads more exposure and potentially increasing your ROI.
Bidding tips for the display network
Clickthrough rates are often lower on the Display Network, because it can be harder to get a reader's attention. If you’re showing your ad on the Display Network, you can set a Display Network Max. CPC bid for clicks that happen just on the Display Network. Similar to how you would evaluate keywords, if your ads perform well on certain placements, you can consider raising the bid for those placements. You can also set bid adjustments to increase or decrease bids for different targeting methods.
Instead of paying per click, you can pay by the number of times your ad is shown. That's called cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) bidding, since you pay for every 1,000 times your ad appears. If you're mostly interested in getting your company's name or logo in front of lots of people, this is a smart option. Learn more about CPM bidding
Cost-per-click bidding
With cost-per-click (CPC) bidding, you can set a maximum price on the cost of someone clicking on your AdWords ads. You can get good value with this bidding method because you pay only when a viewer is interested enough to click your ad and learn more.
How CPC bidding works
For CPC bidding campaigns, you set a maximum cost-per-click bid - or simply "max. CPC" - that's the highest amount that you're willing to pay for a click on your ad
If you think it's worth 25 cents to have someone visit your website, you can set $0.25 as your max. CPC. You'll pay a maximum of $0.25 when a person reads your ad and clicks it, and you pay nothing if they don't click.
Let's say you create a text ad and set a max. CPC bid of $0.25. If five hundred people see the ad, and 23 of them click to learn more, you pay only for those 23 clicks. Your max. CPC bid was $0.25, so you'll pay no more than 23 clicks x $0.25, or $5.75.
With CPC bidding, you have the following options:
Manual bidding: You choose your own bid amounts.
Automatic bidding: AdWords sets your max. CPC for you to get as many clicks as possible given your overall budget.
How a max. CPC bid affects your Ad Rank
Your Ad Rank helps determine your ad's position among other ads on search results pages in the Search Network. If you run your ads on the Display Network, Ad Rank plays the same key role there. As Ad Rank is a score that's based on your max. CPC bid and the quality of your ad compared to other advertisers' ads, raising your max. CPC will probably increase your ad's chances of appearing.
Enhanced cost-per-click (ECPC)
Enhanced cost-per-click (ECPC) is a bidding feature that raises your bid for clicks that seem more likely to lead to a sale or conversion on your website. That helps you get more value from your ad budget.
It's a bidding feature that looks for ad auctions that are more likely to lead to sales for you, and then raises your max CPC bid up to 30 percent to compete harder for those clicks. When it sees

auctions that don't look promising, it lowers your bid. That way you can get more sales and conversions out of the ad dollars you spend.
ECPC for text ads is available on the Search Network and the Display Network, but it isn't available for the "Display Network only - Mobile Apps" campaign type. For Product Listing Ads, ECPC works only on Google Search.
The AdWords system looks for patterns of clicks and conversions and compares them to your past results. If certain search or keyword combinations lead to more sales, for instance, it will know. That's why you need conversion tracking turned on to use ECPC -- it’s where the data comes from.
ECPC will increase your max CPC bid by up to 30 percent when it sees a good opportunity. It'll also lower your max CPC by any amount (even more than 30 percent) if it determines a conversion isn't likely, so you'll pay less for clicks that convert less. If you choose the conversion bid metric that matters most to you on your conversion settings page, ECPC will focus on either conversions or converted clicks. If you don't choose one, ECPC will focus on converted clicks.
How to turn on ECPC
Note: Your campaign must have conversion tracking turned on for ECPC to work. If it’s not turned on, opting into ECPC will have no impact on your bids.
Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com
From your Campaigns tab, click the name of the campaign you want to work with.
Click the Settings tab.
Find the "Bid strategy" section. Click Edit.
Click Advanced options, then click Enable Enhanced CPC.
When you choose ECPC, we'll automatically set your ad rotation setting to "optimize for conversions," even if it's currently set to "optimize for clicks."
Cost-per-thousand-impressions bidding
Many advertisers hope viewers will click their ad -- but that's not always the main goal. Maybe you just want a lot of people to see your ad. In that case, bidding by cost-per-thousand- impressions (CPM) is a good way to go. With CPM bidding, you bid for your ad based on how often it appears on the Google Display Network. You set the max amount you want to pay for ads, whether they're clicked or not.
Why use CPM bidding
Some people prefer CPM bidding because they want to be able to set a maximum amount they'll pay for each impression, instead of for each click.
Others simply don't care about clicks for their ad campaign. Businesses that just want to get their name in front of more people, for instance, may care more about ad views than about clicks and visits to their website.
CPM bidding is currently available for the "Google Display Network - All features" and "Google Display Network - Remarketing" campaign types only.
CPM bidding is currently available for the "Google Display Network - All features" and "Google Display Network - Remarketing" campaign types only.
The higher your max CPM, the greater the chance that your ad will appear. As always, the AdWords system will charge you only what is needed to place your ad above the next-highest ad.
You can set your max CPM bid in a couple of ways. Let's say you sell flowers, and you've set up an ad group with keywords like roses, daisies, and tulips.
Ad group CPMs: Set your max CPM at the ad group level, and you'll have the same CPM for all keywords and placements in that ad group. Let's say you choose an ad group CPM of US$1.20. If

your ad shows on a site that's associated with roses or tulips, or appears on a blog about flowers, the max CPM is always US$1.20. This is the easiest way to manage your CPM bids.
Placement-level CPMs: You can set a CPM bid for each placement if you like. If you know a site gets great results for you, you can bid more for placement there.
Choose a bid for your Display Network campaign
Google Display Network bids help you get the most value from your ads by setting just the right price for your ads on the Display Network. Here are the types of bids you can use:
For "Display Network only" campaigns, you can set ad group default bids, custom bids or bid adjustments.
For "Search Network with Display Select" campaigns, we’ll automatically adjust your bids on the Display Network to try to mirror your search performance
Search ads and display ads reach people at different moments. When people are actively looking for something, your search ad may be the answer they need. However, people who see your ad on the Display Network may be browsing a favorite blog or watching videos -- not actively searching for what you offer. Bidding on the Display Network helps you show ads to potential customers in the right place and at the right time.
Clickthrough rates (CTRs) are often lower on the Display Network, because it can be harder to get a reader's attention. That's why Display Network bidding exists: to let you set a Maximum CPC bid for clicks that happen just on the Display Network. You get more control over your costs and you can make sure your bids fit the value you get from your ads.
Measurement and optimization
Measuring return on investment (ROI)
What's ROI?
ROI is the ratio of your net profit to your costs. It's typically the most important measurement for an advertiser because it's based on your specific advertising goals and shows the real effect your advertising efforts have on your business. The exact method you use to calculate ROI depends upon the goals of your campaign.
One way to define ROI is (Revenue - Cost of goods sold) / Cost of goods sold.
Let's say you have a product that costs $100 to produce, and sells for $200. You sell 6 of these products as a result of advertising them on AdWords. Your total sales are $1200, and your AdWords costs are $200. Your ROI is ($1200-($600+$200))/($600+$200), or 50%.
Why ROI matters
By calculating your ROI, you'll learn how much money you've made by advertising with AdWords. You can use ROI to help you decide how to spend your budget. For example, if you find that a certain campaign is generating a higher ROI than others, you can apply more of your budget to the successful campaign, and less to the ones that aren't performing as well.
Using conversions to measure ROI
To identify your ROI, you first need to measure conversions, which are customer actions that you believe are valuable, such as purchases, sign-ups, web page visits, or leads. Conversion Tracking is a free tool that helps you track how many clicks lead to conversions. You can use Conversion Tracking to determine the profitability of a keyword or ad, and trackconversion rates and cost-per-conversions
Many AdWords advertisers use Google Analytics to track conversions. It's a free web analytics tool that helps you learn how your customers interact with your website.
Once you've started to measure conversions, you can begin to evaluate your ROI. The value of each conversion should be greater than the amount you spent to get the conversion. For

example, if you spend $10 on clicks to get a sale, and receive $15 for that sale, you've made money ($5) and received a good return on your AdWords investment.
Calculating your ROI for sales
Determining your ROI is straightforward if your business goal is web-based sales. You'll need 3 numbers:
Your revenue made via AdWords advertising
Costs related to the products you sold
Your AdWords costs (available in the Campaigns tab of your AdWords account)
Calculate your net profit by subtracting your overall costs from your AdWords revenue for a given time period. Then divide your net profit by your overall costs to get your ROI for that time period. Here's an example:
($1300 -
$1000) /
$1000 =
0.3
Your revenue (measured by conversions)
Your overall costs
Your overall costs
Your ratio of profit to overall cost is 30% -- this is your ROI.
A Yellow Pages ad for your business may cost $1000 per year and result in 100 leads. Ten of those leads become customers, and each customer provides a net profit of $120, after taking your business costs into account. So the value of each lead is $12 ($1200 net profit/100 leads), and your ROI for the Yellow Pages ad is 120% ($1200 net profit/$1000 advertising cost) x 100.
Here's the formula used in this example: (Total revenue - Total cost)/Advertising costs x 100 = Advertising ROI %
A simple alternative to estimating values for your leads and page views is to use a cost-per- acquisition (CPA) measurement. Acquisitions are the same thing as conversions: they're actions your customers take that you think are valuable, such as completing a purchase or signing up to receive more information.
Using this method allows you to focus primarily on how your advertising costs compare to the number of acquisitions those costs deliver. Using the Yellow Pages example again, your ad may cost $1000, resulting in 10 sales. So your CPA for that ad is $100. Here's the formula for CPA: (Costs/Sales) = CPA
Your CPA shouldn't exceed the profit you made from each acquisition. For your Yellow Pages ad, the CPA is 20% less than the profit the acquisitions provide.
Measuring traffic to your website
If your main advertising goal is to increase traffic to your site, try focusing on increasing your clicks and clickthrough rate (CTR). Start by creating great ad text and strong keywords to make ads that are highly relevant and very compelling to your customers, then closely monitor your clicks, CTR, keywords, and search terms.
What to measure
Here are some important things you can measure to help you track and improve a campaign that's focused on traffic:
Clicks and clickthrough rate (CTR): These two metrics help you understand how many people found your ad compelling enough to actually click on it and visit your website. You can measure clicks and CTR at all levels of your account. For example, you can see how many clicks an entire campaign, ad group, or ad received, or you can see how many clicks individual keywords have generated after triggering your ads. On the Search Network, a good CTR is generally considered to be 1% or higher.
Keywords: Keep a close eye on keyword performance with these strategies:
Update your keyword lists regularly. Pause or remove the words that aren't working well for you (for example, if they have CTRs below 1%, or low Quality Scores) and add new ones. Add

columns and segments to your statistics table on your Keywords tab for an overview of your keywords' clicks, CTR, Quality Scores, and more.
Use the four keyword matching options to help control who sees your ads. Add the Match type column to the statistics table on your Keywords tab to see how the different keyword matching options perform for you. With some options, you'll enjoy more ad impressions, clicks, and conversions. With others, you'll get fewer impressions and more narrow targeting.
For a comprehensive view of keyword quality, run a keyword diagnosis. It gives you information about your keywords' Quality Scores and whether they're triggering your ads. A Quality Score of 5 or higher is generally considered good.
Search terms: When you use broad-match keywords (the default setting), your ads can appear when someone searches for a variation of your keyword, like a similar phrase or related word. To see a list of searches that have triggered your ad, go to the Keywords tab of your account, click Keyword details, then select All. You can use this report to identify relevant terms that are driving traffic to your website, and then add them as new keywords. Or, if any of the keywords are irrelevant to your business, you can add them as negative keywords so they won't trigger your ads.
If your campaign has the keyword digital cameras on broad match, the report may show that your ads appeared for the search query "digital cameras London." If your business sells to people in London, you could add this phrase as a keyword in your account. If you don't serve London, you could add London as a negative keyword to make sure your ad stops appearing on that search. By adding irrelevant search terms as negative keywords, you can help improve your clickthrough rate.
Measuring brand awareness
Branding campaigns have a unique goal: to raise awareness and visibility of your product, service, or cause. To help reach these objectives, you can use your AdWords campaigns to increase traffic to your website or encourage customers to interact with your brand.
Once you've established your branding campaign's goals, you can choose the best places to show your ads, and then measure success by monitoring impressions, conversions, and other statistics. Generally, you'll want to try to place your ads in front of as many people as possible within your target audience.
Networks for your branding campaign
Google has two networks where your ads can run: the Search Network and the Display Network. While the Search Network primarily runs text ads, the Display Network runs text ads, colorful image ads, and multimedia ads (like video or animation) that can be particularly good for showing branding messages. Display ads can create an emotional connection by using graphical, audio, and video elements to tell a story that's unique to your company.
On the Display Network, you can target your ads very effectively. By choosing exactly which websites and pages will show your ad and creating an ad with lots of visual impact, it's easy to catch the eye of people who're interested in what you sell.
Say you work for a high-end Italian car manufacturer. You could create a video ad to showcase the new features of your latest model, the SuDuperRossa, and choose to run that ad only on websites for owners of high-performance cars, since they're part of your target demographic.
What to measure for brand awareness
Here are some important metrics that show whether your branding campaign is successful:
Impressions: Impressions are important to track in any campaign, no matter what your goals are. But they can be especially important in branding campaigns, because they represent how many customers actually laid eyes on your ad. You might not care whether they ended up buying anything from your site, but you do want them to remember that catchy new slogan you paid big bucks to develop and share with the world.

One way to really prioritize impressions is to create a cost-per-thousand impressions campaign (rather than a cost-per-click campaign). That way you'll pay based on the number of impressions your ads have received, rather than by the number of clicks they've gotten.
Customer engagement: If you're focused on branding, you can use clickthrough rate (CTR) to measure customer engagement for Search Network ads. On the Display Network, though, user behavior is different, and CTR isn't as helpful. That's because customers on sites are browsing through information, not searching with keywords. Also, on a busy Display Network page, an ad has to compete more to get the attention of a reader than it would on a search page. It's more important to try to achieve a good CTR on the Search Network (1% or higher) than on the Display Network, where clickthrough rates are frequently lower. You may want to consider other measurements like conversions for Display Network ads.
Conversions can help you see whether your ads are driving branding-related visitor behavior you think is valuable, such as sign-ups or page views. After all, aren't you curious how many people join your mailing list after watching that expensive video ad your company just created?
Reach and frequency: Reach is the number of visitors exposed to an ad. Increased reach means that an ad is exposed to more potential customers, which may lead to increased awareness. Frequency is the average number of times a visitor was exposed to an ad over a period of time.
Measuring sales and conversions
An AdWords conversion occurs when someone clicks on your ad and performs a behavior on your website that you recognize as valuable, such as calling your business from a mobile phone or making a purchase on your website. When you use AdWords to increase conversions or sales, keep track of your conversions with a free tool called Conversion Tracking. That way, you can keep an eye on important statistics like cost-per-conversion and conversion rate that tell you how successful your ad campaign is.
A conversion is what you choose it to be
A conversion may be a purchase, but it can also be a call from a mobile phone, a visitor submitting her contact information for an insurance quote, or a prospective buyer downloading a white paper about your company's software capabilities. Or maybe it's a request for more information, or views of a page that features your new product. It's up to you!
What conversion information you can measure
Once you've set up Conversion Tracking, you can keep an eye on some important statistics to help you measure whether your ad campaign is successful:
Number of conversions and cost-per-conversion: You can assign monetary values to your conversions when setting up tracking to get detailed revenue information in your reports. Reviewing your total number of conversions and the value of these conversions can help you decide if you should increase your budget or make changes to your ad groups to attract more targeted visitors.
Conversion rate: This helps you track how many clicks lead to valuable actions like a sale or signup. The conversion rate listed in your account is the number of conversions divided by the number of ad clicks. Conversions are only counted on Google and our Google Network partners. The conversion rate is adjusted to reflect only the ad clicks on which we can track conversions.
Keyword conversion data: Conversion Tracking shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ad -- whether he purchased your product or signed up for your newsletter. By knowing this, you'll also know which keywords are best at encouraging customers to take those actions. Then you can improve your keyword list based on your findings, and make smarter investments in your best keywords.
See how customers interact with your ads across devices: Sometimes your customers click on your ad on one device, and then make their purchase on another device. These are called cross-

device conversions, and you can see them in the Estimated Total Conversions column in your AdWords account.
Destination URLs: You can see which destination URLs are leading to the most conversions on the Dimensions tab of your account. Just click the View button, then select "Destination URL" from the drop-down, and make sure you've added the conversion columns to your data table.
Just as keywords and ad texts should focus on a specific product or service, the destination URL (and landing page) you choose for each ad should be product or service-specific too. Make sure that the destination URL you use for each ad directs customers to the most relevant page within your website. Ideally, that webpage will be dedicated to the specific product or service that's highlighted in your ad.
If a real estate agent's ad highlights apartments for sale in London, the ideal landing page may feature all available apartments for sale in London rather than the real estate agent's homepage. Customers are much more likely to buy if they don't have to search your website to find what they're looking for.
Setting up conversion tracking
If you'd like to know which of your keywords best leads to clicks and conversions, such as sales, conversion tracking can help you.
This free tool in AdWords can show you what happens after customers click on your ad (for example, whether they purchased your product, called from a mobile phone, or downloaded your app).
By knowing this, you'll also know which keywords are good for your business, allowing you to invest more wisely and boost your return on investment (ROI).

Track conversion on a website
To use conversion tracking, you'll need to put a small snippet of HTML and JavaScript code on the page that customers see after they've completed a valuable action on your site. For example, you could add the code to your purchase confirmation page, which is the page people see after they've made a purchase. Before you can set this up, you'll need:
Step 1 : get the code snippest
Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
Click the Tools tab, and select Conversions from the drop-down menu.
Under the Conversions tab, click the +Conversion button.
In the "Conversion name" field, enter the name of the conversion you'd like to track on your website. This will help you recognize this action later when it shows up in conversion reports. An example might be "newsletter sign-up" or "wedding bouquet purchase."

In the "Source" field, select where your customers will complete the conversion. For example, if customers will order your cupcakes on your website, you'll select "Webpage."
Click the Save and continue button.
On the next page, in the "Conversion category" field, select the category that best applies to your conversion. If you're tracking newsletter sign ups, you'll pick "Sign up." For purchases, you'll pick "Purchase/Sale." If your conversion doesn't fall into a listed category, select "Other." Your choice here won't impact the way your conversions are recorded.
In the "Conversion window" field, choose how long after an ad click you want to track conversions for thisconversion action. You can select a window as short as one week or as long as 90 days.
In the "Count" field, choose whether to count all or unique conversions. "All" is best for sales; "unique" is best for leads.

In the "Conversion value" field, choose whether each conversion has the same value, a different value, or if you'd prefer not to count a value.
In the "Tracking indicator" field, choose whether you want to let your customers know that you're using conversion tracking by putting a Google Sites Stats notification on your page.
If you'd like to add a notification, select "Add a 'Google Site Stats' notification to the code generated for my page." Then select whether you'd like your Google Site Stats to be one or two lines, the language of the notification, and the background color of the webpage it'll be displayed on.
If you prefer not to use a notification, select "Don't add a notification to the code generated for my page." But we require that you inform your customers that you're using AdWords' free conversion tracking feature (such as through your privacy policy). This creates trust and protects their privacy.
If you're not running a Display Network campaign, skip to the next step. If you are running one, you can click the Advanced options link to set up view-through conversion tracking. Choose from two advanced options, or skip to the next step.
View through conversion tracking (display network campaigns only)
A View-through Conversion happens when a customer views (but doesn't click) an image or rich media ad, then later completes a conversion on your site. This is different from a Click-through Conversion, which happens when a customer had previously clicked on an ad (such as on the Google Search or the Google Display Network) and then completed a conversion on your site.

If you'd like to track View-through conversions, too, just pick a time frame in the View-through conversion window field. If, for example, you pick a window of three days, your conversion count might include customers who see your rich media ad on Monday and complete a conversion on Wednesday. But it won't include customers who see your ad on Monday and complete a conversion on Friday.
Conversions for optimization
Select this option if you'd like AdWords bid strategies (such as Target return on ad spend, Enhanced cost-per-click, or Conversion Optimizer) to optimize for this conversion action. This means AdWords will take these conversions into account when setting bids
Let's say you set up conversion actions to track the number of times a product is placed in a shopping cart on your site, and the number of completed online sales. You select the "Optimization" checkbox only for online sales, not for shopping cart usage. Then you turn on the Target CPA flexible bid strategy for an ad group. AdWords will set bids to get you as many online sales as possible while meeting a target CPA for online sales, but will ignore shopping cart usage. You can track the performance of bid automation for online sales in the "Conv. opt." columns, because they're the conversions resulting from the "Optimization" setting you've selected.
If you're using manual bidding, no bid automation will occur, but you'll see data for the "Optimization" conversion actions in the "Conv. opt" columns. Learn how to enable the columns.
Click Save and continue.
Select "Someone else makes changes to the code" or "I make changes to the code," depending on which applies to you.
If you chose "Someone else makes changes to the code," just fill out the email form that pops up and click Send email. The code snippet will be sent you the person who edits your website!
If you chose "I make changes to the code," a window will open up below with your code snippet. Congrats! You've generated the code. Copy it, and you'll be ready for the next step.
Step 2 paste the code in your html code

Open up the HTML for the page your customers reach on your website after they've completed a conversion -- the "thank you for your order!" page, for example. This is called the conversion page.
Between the body tags (<body></body>) of the page, paste the code snippet you generated in AdWords.
Save the changes to your webpage. And that's it!

Understanding conversion tracking
Conversion Tracking is a free tool that shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ads -- whether they purchased your product, signed up for your newsletter or filled out a form to receive more information.
By tracking these actions, known as "conversions," you'll know which ads, keywords and campaigns bring you business. This helps you invest more wisely in the best ones and ultimately, boost your return on investment(ROI).
You have a website for your clothing store, and when customers submit their orders online, they see a "Thank you for your purchase!" Pages:
You want to see which of your keywords – "blue jeans" or "buy designer jeans" – leads to more purchases, so you set up Conversion Tracking. First, you get a single snippet of code from AdWords that contains HTML and JavaScript. Then, you paste that code snippet in the HTML for the "Thank you for your purchase!" Pages:
Soon, you start to see that customers who click on your ad with "buy designer jeans" as a keyword buy a lot of jeans. Meanwhile, you see that a few people click on the ad with "blue jeans" as a keyword, but none of them make a purchase. So, you decide to stop investing in the "blue jeans" keyword and put more money towards the "buy designer jeans" keyword, resulting in more purchases and a better return on your investment.
Conversion
A conversion is a customer action that has value to your business, such as purchase, downloading an app, visiting a website, filling out a form or signing a contract. Online and offline actions are called conversions because a customer's click translated – or converted – to business.
Why measure conversions
Measuring conversions is helpful for your business if you're trying to do the following:
Connect your ads and keywords to your business goals: Maybe you want people to view a particular page more, or you'd like more purchases. Conversion Tracking can show you which keywords are helping you meet those specific goals by connecting them to actions.
Boost your ROI: Not all keywords are equal. But if you know which keywords bring you the most business and which ones don't, you can make smarter investments in those keywords and avoid the unhelpful ones altogether.
See how customers interact with your ads across devices: Sometimes your customers click on your ad on one device, and then make their purchase on another device. These are called cross- device conversions, and you can see them in the Estimated Total Conversions column in your AdWords account.
Overview of essential tips to improve your AdWords results
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwbrgUKFm1g

Create successful text ads
It's not easy to say everything you want to say about your business in just a few words. Focus on the following:
Highlight what makes your products and services stand out; include prices and promotions.
Let your customers know what action they can take, using strong verbs like "purchase," "sign up now," or "call today."
Include at least one of your high-performing keywords in your ad text.
Make sure to match your ad text to the text that people will see once they reach your website.
Improve your keywords
Once you know how to find data for your keywords, you can identify poor-performing ones and make them work harder for you. You'll want to improve the relevance of your keywords to help boost their Quality Scores, or modify the match type for ones that aren't helping you meet your advertising goals. You can also remove low-performing keywords from your campaign entirely.
Focus on improving your return on investment (ROI)
To improve your ROI, focus on improving your conversion potential through attracting the right customers to your business. You can do this by taking several steps:
Use highly relevant keywords and ad text. For example, if you run a business that specializes in women's running shoes, try using "women's running shoes" as opposed to simply "shoes." You can increase your bid for keywords that show a profit, to increase exposure and generate more traffic, and you can decrease the bids for keywords that aren't profitable, to lower your costs.
Use a landing page in your website that's most relevant to your ad, to make sure customers get what they expect. If you're running an ad for a particular type of women's running shoe -- say, track spikes -- then try to send customers to a page in your site that's relevant to your track- spikes sale.
Make sure that your site is easy to navigate.
Improve your costs
Budget and bid optimization isn't necessarily about spending more -- it's about spending smarter. A critical first step is understanding the relationship between cost and quality. The higher a keyword's Quality Score, the lower the price you pay for each click and the better its ad position.
Once you have a firm grasp of the relationship between quality and cost, you can track your ROI, experiment with your budgets and bids to see what works best, and use performance data to help determine where your dollars will make the most impact.
Organize your account for success
Good account organization helps you make changes quickly, target your ads effectively, and ultimately reach more of your advertising goals. By creating well-structured campaigns by theme or product (women's track spikes, women's distance running shoes, and so on), you'll also have sets of ads and keywords that are directly related to each other, which helps improve your Quality Score. With a well-structured account, you can:
Determine which ads are creating the optimal conversions (like sales or leads) and traffic.
Monitor changes easily.
Maintain better control over budgets and costs.
Locate specific keywords quickly.
Easily manage and edit your campaigns.
Get ideas to improve your account
Using the Opportunities tab in your AdWords account, you can get opportunities customized for your account. It can help you discover new keywords, improve your bids and budgets, and more. You can review the opportunities, evaluate their potential impact, then apply them directly to your account.

Minimize low-value clicks
Are you getting good traffic from your ads but not enough buyers? You can use Conversion Tracking to measure how many people are actually buying or signing up for things after they land on your site. Then, there are a number of things you can do to improve your conversion rate, like adding more specific keywords and negative keywords.
Understanding landing page experience
providing relevant, useful, and original content,
promoting transparency and fostering trustworthiness on your site (for example, by explaining your products or services before asking visitors to fill out forms sharing their own information),
making it easy for customers to navigate your site (including on mobile sites), and
encouraging customers to spend time on your site (for example, by making sure your page loads quickly so people who click your ad don’t give up and leave your site prematurely).
Your landing page experience affects not only your Quality Score, but also your Ad Rank and advertising costs.
Relevant, useful and original content
Make sure your landing page is directly relevant to your ad text and keyword.
Provide useful information on your landing page about whatever you're advertising.
Try to offer useful features or content that are unique to your site.
Transparency and trustworthiness
Make it easy for visitors to find your contact information.
If you request personal information from customers, make it clear why you’re asking for it and what you’ll do with it.
Distinguish sponsored links, like ads, from the rest of your site content.
Openly share information about your business and clearly state what your business does.
Ease of navigation
Don't make people hunt around for the information they might need.
Make it quick and easy for people to order the product mentioned in your ad.
Don’t annoy customers with pop-ups or other features that interfere with their navigation on your site.
Make sure people can easily find information to learn more about the advertised product.
The AdWords system visits and evaluates landing pages on a regular basis
Make sure your landing page loads quickly once someone clicks on your ad, whether on a desktop or mobile device.
Viewing your website's landing page experience
You can view an estimate of the landing page experience for any of your destination sites by going into your Keywords tab and placing your cursor over the speech bubble next to the status of any keyword. The landing page experience could be:
Above average or Average: If you see either of these two statuses, you're in good shape – your Quality Score won't be negatively affected by your landing page experience.
Below average: This means that your landing page experience may be in need of improvement, and your Quality Score might be lower as a result. You might want to consider some changes to improve your website's landing page, using the factors discussed in this article as your guide.
Tools and Strategies for Optimizing Keywords
Use these tools to find new keywords and to identify which keywords to optimize

Use the Keyword Planner to brainstorm ideas for keyword lists and find negative keywords while you're creating a campaign. Once the tool has generated some initial ideas, you can then enter the relevant results back into the tool to generate even more specific keyword ideas. Add relevant keywords to the ad group that focuses on that theme or product.
Use keyword diagnosis to see an in-depth view of your keyword's performance, including its Quality Score on a 1-10 scale. You might want to remove keywords with low Quality Scores and add more keywords that are more like those with higher scores. If you really want to run on those keywords, consider moving them to another ad group and test them with a new ad. If they still don't perform well after one month, remove them. Go to this link https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2453974?rd=1 and click on “show me” button
Run a "search terms" report to see all the search queries that have triggered your ads. You can use this report to identify relevant queries driving traffic to your website and add them as new keywords. If you see any irrelevant terms, add them as negative keywords to your ad group or campaign.
Use the Traffic Estimator to find keyword traffic and cost estimates to identify potential keywords. By knowing the estimated traffic for your keywords, you can also set appropriate keyword bids that will maximize your ad's exposure within the limit of your daily budget.
Optimize keywords for better CTR If you are CTR-focused, you may want to remove keywords with high impression counts but low numbers of clickthroughs. These keywords may be too general or not relevant enough and are accumulating many impressions but very few clicks. For CTR, it's also very important to focus on negative keywords to prevent impressions that aren't likely to lead to a click. Along with negative keywords, consider trying different keyword matching options like phrase match to reduce the number of irrelevant searches.
Optimize keywords for better ROI The bottom line for any keyword is how much value it generates compared to its cost. To determine the profitability of a keyword, you can track the conversions from that keyword with Google's free conversion tracking tool. Once you have conversion data, you can identify and remove keywords that accumulate high costs but very few conversions. Once you understand the value of each keyword, you can also increase that keyword's profitability by adjusting its CPC or CPM bid. For keywords that show a profit, increase the bid to increase exposure and generate more traffic. For keywords that aren't profitable, decrease the bid to lower your costs.
Try to understand what stage within the buying cycle a user might be in. For instance, users searching with terms like "reviews" or "ratings" are probably still researching the product and might be less likely to make a purchase at that stage. To target serious buyers, you might try using keyword phrases that include conversion-related words like "buy," "purchase," or "order," and use "reviews" as a negative keyword. You can also include specific product names you sell and model numbers. Users searching on highly specific terms know exactly what they are looking for and could be more likely to convert for you.
Use appropriate keyword matching options to control who sees your ads Experiment with keyword matching options. The four matching options determine which Google

searches can trigger your ads to appear, helping you control who sees your ads. With broad match, you'll typically receive the most number of ad impressions.
Use negative keywords to eliminate unwanted clicks Negative keywords can help increase your ROI and conversion rates by preventing your ad from showing for searches that include that word or phrase. By filtering out unwanted impressions, negative keywords can help you reach the most appropriate prospects, reduce your costs, and increase your return on investment.
Performance, profitability, and growth
Growing a profitable campaign
To achieve success with AdWords, it’s important to understand when a campaign is profitable and how to help it grow. ROI-driven campaigns generally follow three stages of growth: testing, growth, and maturity.
Stage 1: Testing New campaigns start out in the testing stage. You’ll gather performance data to understand which CPC bid, keyword, and ad combinations are working well for you. In this stage, your primary goal is to establish profitability by comparing costs to revenues.
Once you achieve profitability, it’s time to grow.
Stage 2: Growth In the growth stage, your goal is to reach more customers while remaining profitable. You may be able to achieve this by increasing your AdWords campaign budget while leaving your CPC bids, keywords, and ad text the same. If parts of your campaign are no longer profitable after you increase your budget, try adjusting your CPC bids, keywords, or ads to regain profitability before you continue to grow.
By gradually increasing your AdWords campaign budget over time, you’ll reach a point where it no longer limits your exposure. For an estimate of this amount, check your recommended budget in the “Budget” section of the Settings tab of any campaign.
Stage 3: Maturity If your costs don’t reach your AdWords daily budget and you’re profitable, you’ve successfully scaled up to the traffic available. Congratulations!
Here are some characteristics of this stage:
Your AdWords budget is high enough to show at all times so you don’t miss an eligible impression.
Your daily costs, profits, and sales rise and fall with regular fluctuations in search volume.
Managing multiple accounts
Create a My Client Center (MCC) account
If you’re an agency or someone who manages multiple AdWords accounts, a My Client Center (MCC) manager account is a powerful tool that could save you time. A manager account is an AdWords account that lets you easily view and manage all of your AdWords accounts -- including other MCC manager accounts -- from a single location.
An MCC manager account isn't an "upgrade" of your AdWords account. Instead, it's an entirely new AdWords account you create. Think of a manager account as an umbrella AdWords account with several AdWords accounts (client accounts) linked to it.

Ad formats
All online ads are essentially clickable messages that connect customers with a website.
Text ads, the simplest version of a clickable message, contain three components: a headline, display URL, and a description. Let's look at the components of the sample ad below: Advertise with Google adwords.google.com Want fast results? Create your ad campaign today!
Headline Display URL Description
Text ads in Google AdWords must meet the following length requirements:
Example ad
Max Length (most languages)
Max Length (double-width* languages)
Headline:
Example Website
25 characters
12 characters
Description line 1:
Summer sale
35 characters
17 characters
Description line 2:
Save 15%
35 characters
17 characters
Display URL:
www.example.com
35 characters
17 characters
Headline
The first line of your ad is the one that customers are most likely to notice. If you really want your headline to stand out, consider including keywords. People are more likely to notice headlines that match what they're searching for. In our sample ad, the keyword "advertise" should get the attention of people who are searching for ways to advertise online. We can show up to 25 characters in your headline.
Display URL
Appearing in green, this line of your ad shows the address of the website that you're promoting. AdWords lets you choose a brief but meaningful display URL to give people who see your ad a clear idea of where it'll take them when they click on the link. Behind the scenes, you can also assign your text ads a longer destination URL, which takes the person who clicks your ad to a precise location on the same website that's relevant to the ad itself. People can only see the display URL in your ad and not the destination URL.

Long display URLs
We can show up to 35 characters of your display URL due to limited space. For languages that use double-width characters, like Chinese (simplified or traditional), Japanese, or Korean, we can show up to 17 characters of your display URL. If your display URL is longer than the maximum character length, we'll shorten your display URL when we show your ad.
Description
The final lines of your text ad are where you describe the product or service you're advertising. Space is limited, so choose your words carefully to highlight the most important details and benefits. We can show up to 35 characters for each description line.
Keep in mind that text ads on the Google Display Network might look different.
Using special characters with your ads
You can write your ads in a number of supported languages. Most non-English characters, including tildes, umlauts, and cedillas, will appear correctly in your ads, including the display URL.
For languages that use double-width characters, like Chinese (simplified or traditional), Japanese, or Korean, your text ads will appear on Google search results the same way that they appear in your account. Keep in mind that your headline, description lines, and display URL should meet our character limits. We recommend you preview your ads to make sure you're satisfied with how they appear. And remember to check your ads using the Ad Preview and Diagnosis tool rather than searching on Google.
Enhance your ad with extensions
Ad extensions create more reasons to click your ad
Ad extensions are a type of ad format that show extra information (“extending” from your text ads) about your business. Some can be added manually and others are automated.
Improved visibility: Ad extensions tend to improve your ad’s visibility. They often appear above the search results, rather than along the sidebar. If two competing ads have the same bid and quality, the ad with greater expected impact from extensions will generally appear in a higher ad position than the other.
Better return on investment: Extensions can help improve the clickthrough rate (CTR) of your ads. More clicks means more customer traffic.
How ad extensions work
AdWords shows one or more extensions with your ad when it calculates that the extension (or combination of extensions) will improve your campaign performance, and when your Ad Rank is high enough for it to appear. Adding an extension won’t guarantee that it will show with your ad, but you can keep track of when your extensions are appearing on the Ad extensions tab
Annotations are automated: AdWords creates and displays the annotation formats (seller rating annotations, consumer ratings annotations, social annotations, and previous visit annotations) when it predicts that they’ll improve your ad’s performance. No setup is required. Seller ratings, consumer ratings annotations, and previous visit annotations aren’t listed on the Ad extensions tab.
What ad extensions cost
There's no cost to add extensions to your campaign, but you're charged as usual for clicks on your ad, as well as for certain interactions that extensions provide. For example, you're charged for clicking on a download button (app extensions), on a call button (call extensions), on a directions icon (location extensions), and so on. Clicks on review extensions, social annotations, and seller rating annotations are an exception: we don’t charge you for these. AdWords charges no more than two clicks (per impression) on each ad and its extensions.
Types of ad extensions

App extensions
Show a link below your ad text that sends people to the app store or begins downloading your app. Get started here.
Call extensions
Let people click a button to give you a phone call. Give your ad a call button.
Consumer ratings annotations

Location extensions
Help people nearby find your nearest storefront or give you a call. Add a map pin, navigation assistance and a call option to your ad.
Previous visit annotations

Review extensions

Sitelink extensions
Add links to help people find what they’re looking for. Choose your sitelinks.
Dynamic sitelink extensions
Add dynamically generated sitelinks to help people find more relevant pages on your site. See how dynamic sitelinks work.
Callout extensions
Add descriptive text to your ad to help people learn more about what you have to offer. See how callout extensions work.
Social annotations
Show how many Google+ followers you have. Add social annotations.
Show ads with your Google+ page endorsements
When your Google+ page and your ads are linked, Google can show endorsements for your business from your Google+ followers.
These endorsements are called social annotations.
Your ads can show social annotations without any setup. To get started, head over to Google My Business.
There are three steps to complete before you can add social annotations:
Your Google+ page has to have a verified URL.
The domain of your Google+ page URL has to match the domain of your ad's URL. This means you can link to different pages, but they should be part of the same website.

Your Google+ page needs to have recent, high-quality posts and a significant number of followers. For most businesses, this means about 100 followers.

About the ad approval process
What each status means
We give your ad an approval status both before and after our review:
Before review:
Eligible -- Ad is still being reviewed, but it can show on Google search pages in the meantime.
Under review -- Ad is still being reviewed and can't show until it's been approved.
Not yet serving (video ads) -- A video ad is not yet approved to appear on YouTube but is under review.
After review - ads can run:
Approved -- Ad complies with our policies, so it's allowed to show for all audiences.
Approved (limited) -- Ad can run, but not in all situations due to policy restrictions such as those around trademark use and gambling ads.
Approved (non-family) -- Ad can run, but not in all situations due to restrictions on content that we consider "non-family safe."
Approved (adult) -- Ad can run, but not in all situations due to restrictions on adult content.
Serving (video ads) -- A video ad is approved to appear on YouTube.
After review - ads cannot run:
Disapproved -- Ad cannot run as it is now because it violates AdWords policy.
Site suspended -- Ad cannot run because its website violates AdWords policy.
Not serving (video ads) -- All formats (headline, description, video, etc.) of the video ad have been disapproved.
With issues (video ads) -- One or more of a video ad's formats are marked as "Disapproved" or "Approved (limited)."

Relevance, clarity, and accuracy
What's the policy?
Ad text must be relevant, clear, accurate, and descriptive of the products or services offered.
Relevance
Your ads and keywords must directly relate to the content on the landing page for your ad. When users see your ad, they should be able to understand what kind of product, service, or other content they'll find on your site.
Products or services that are promoted in your ad must be reflected on your landing page. Also, see the advertiser claims policy.
Phone numbers
Phone numbers and vanity phone numbers can't be used anywhere in text ads or sitelinks extensions, except for company names that are actual phone numbers (such as "1800- EXAMPLE"). Phone numbers in ads are confusing to users who might be expecting to be led to a call session as opposed to a website. Instead, consider using call extensions to let customers call you from your ad on mobile phones or image ads to include a number in your ad on non-mobile devices as well.
Clarity
Ads can't simulate email inbox notifications.
Ads can't have any missing lines of text, excessive spacing, or extremely bad grammar.
Ads using keyword insertion must be grammatically and logically correct, and result in meaningful ad text for the user.
Ads can't use call-to-action phrases such as "click here" or "click +1" that could apply to any ad, regardless of content. This includes phrases in the third line of your ad that lead into your display URL, such as "See this site."
We've created this policy to help our users find clear, accurate information about the products or services they're looking for.

How to interpret your ad status
The "Status" column from the Ads tab displays information about the current state of your ad at the time you sign in. Here are the different types of ad statuses:
Paused
Pending
Ended
Removed
Under review
Eligible
Approved
Approved (non-family)
Approved (adult)
Approved (limited)
Disapproved
Site suspended
Here we'll only cover the four ad statuses over which you have control:
Paused: Inactive because you paused it. Pausing an ad means that your ads don't show or accumulate new costs until resumed. You can also see "Campaign paused" or "Ad group paused" from your Ads tab if you paused the campaign or ad group that contains this ad. Even when ads are paused, they're subject to review. We review paused ads to ensure that they comply with AdWords policies and applicable laws,and also so that ads that do get approved while under view can run as soon as you unpause them.
Pending: Inactive but scheduled to begin at a future date. You can also see "Campaign pending" or "Ad group pending" from your Ads tab if the campaign or ad group that contains this ad is pending.
Ended: Inactive because it's past its scheduled end date. You can also see "Campaign ended" or" Ad group ended" from your Ads tab if the campaign or ad group that contains this ad has ended.
Removed: Inactive because you removed it. Removing an ad means that ads don't show or accumulate new costs until re-enabled. You also see "Campaign removed" or "Ad group removed" from your Ads tab if you removed the campaign or ad group that contains this ad.
The remaining types are statuses related to your ad's approval or disapproval.
