    Can you elaborate a little bit more, what do you mean by "competitor urls"?

    I think what he's saying here is that he's set up a competitor campaign and used their urls as keywords - correct?

    This can work, but to be honest unless your competitors and their URLs are very well known / searched, or you have hundreds of them, then you're not gonna be able to increase your click volume greatly. (Also, in my experience it's harder to get a good quality score on competitor urls)

    yeah very right!

    I used the competitor urls as keyword lik

    mydomain.com
    www.mydomain.com
    http://www.mydomain.com
    https://www.mydomain.com

    etc.

    thought so - odds are that unless it's a well known url that a lot of people search for then you probably won't get that many clicks from it - and odds are that you'll have a low quality score - best to set these urls up in a separate campaign so that they don't influence your campaign history...

    (if you're having problems like this maybe best to hire in a professional...)

    It really does depend on how much traffic and searching is being done on your competitors listing. It isnt always that successful for sure!

    One of my clients actually makes 75% of his sales through this strategy by me targeting the bigger companies advertised on TV, etc.

    Yes, having domain variations in our keywords gives us a great advantage over our competitors. Also, its a good idea to use various competitor spy tools for competitive intelligence.
