Cost-Effective Google Ads
by Marcia Yudkin
If you’ve wondered whether Google Adwords might be an effective way to advertise your website and business, you’ll want to hear this 45-minute audio with IAW contributor Marcia Yudkin, going through an actual case study of a Google Adwords campaign and how to improve it. Among other things, Marcia covers:
- How not to waste money—rather than paying a lot extra for ad positions one, two, and three, pay significantly less for positions four through six, still viewed by many readers
- How to make sure your landing page—your website page that click-throughs land on—exactly matches the Google ad, with the same offers and expectations
- How to use a variety of searched words, remembering to use verbs as well as nouns
- How to use two-step marketing, encouraging readers to click-through to get something specific, and then upsell them to the larger product
Marcia also covers:
- How to lower the total amount that Google charges you with one simple tactic
- How to eliminate people looking for free information (rather than paid products) by altering your keywords
- How to target your audience to maximize sales and signups
