    So, how many keywords do you use per campaign?

    8,343.

    Seriously there is no answer to this question. There are 50 variables that determine how many keywords you use.

    Sonic, there is got to be an average. Everyone has different averages.

    It is more important to have a nice tracking system in place that uses Sub ID's than trying to bid on 10,000 keywords right off the bat.

    In general, when I have a mature campaign I usually have over 50,000 keywords in the portfolio. I usually start with 1000 and track them closely.

    Its easy to come up with keywords, I won't tell you the tool I use but all you gotta do is find a keyword making tool ( for lack of better words ) Then type inhow many you want related to a subject that you also type in and SHABAM! 10k-50k keywords!

    A few good keyword research tool that I use: Google them.. lazy to post links

    FREE
    Goodkeywords
    Massive Keyword List Builder

    PAID
    Keyword Transformer (recommended)
    Keyword Elite (neat software)
    The Dowser (have this, but don't really use it much)
    Keyword Analyzer 7 (rather good software!)

    With the above tools, its a no brainer to come up with HUGE keyword lists. I sometimes run out of 'space' on Adwords to put keywords, and have to remove most of it. Sometimes I hit the keyword cap just with one campaign :mad:

    No, not really.

    There will be an average due just to the fact that there are numbers to add and divide, but hearing an average will do no help because it's very dependent on many things.

    Some campaigns I have 1,500 keywords and get 1k clicks a day, others I have 110k keywords and get 600 clicks a day.

    Im a newbie.

    When adding thousands of keyword into a campaign do you add them as broad match and just add negative keywords?

    thousands of keywords, are all these targeted keywords and most are just related keywords to the offer?

    when dealing with thousands of keyword and less than half of those keywords is bring in traffic should content network be turned on?


    My campaign that ive started last week with about or almost 5k keywords gets barely any traffic less than 20/day. should content network be turned on?

    are you tracking keywords sales when dealing with thousands 10k + KW? or it doesnt matter because you're profiting?

    thank you.

    are you tracking keywords sales when dealing with thousands 10k + KW? or it doesnt matter because you're profiting?

    with thousandsands of keywords in a campaign are you paying minimum bid and dont care if your on the 1st, 2nd page or you try to be on first page ?


    thank you.

    I'm no expert, but many times I'll only have 10 or less keywords. Easy to track, highly targeted, and I can add more as time goes on. I've got software that can generate me 500k keywords in 5 minutes, but forming adgroups and bidding on terms that aren't laser targeted is just a waste of time/money IMO.

    I like to start with a 1000 and build from there, and prefer to get to 10K. I have Keyword Elite, takes some time filtering, but works well.
