yesterday night I signed up with adwords I got few keywords brings about 3000 impressions in less than 10 minutes then my keywords went inactive due to my bid was lower than google's minimum bid it jumped from 0.04 to 10.00 what the helk any help? if i don't change the amount of cpc will my ad still showing sometimes now since my total impression got over 10k and every keyword i try to use all require 10.00 minimum bid I am kind of confused and don't get it plz help
This happened to me as well. I just readjusted all the bids over $10. I'm curious why this happens to.
Did you get any clicks? It looks like Google is penalizing you because your CTR is very low. Also, do your landing pages have some relevant text?
Yup, that happens to everyone lol. Fixing it is what separates the pros from the beginners, and not many people know how to do it (without spending waaaaaaaay too much on keywords)
I got 1 click so far it's $0.04 and then now all my keywords are inactive and everything is $10 this is really hard to understand maybe need to buy a book on google adwords still have more to learn
Your CTR is way too low. Try breaking up the keywords into smaller adgroups with better keyword-targeted ads. Also, optimize the landing pages for the new adgroups.
ahhh is that matters with the clicks and the impression and relevant text in my pages ahh that could be the clue maybe i will create another ad group to test it out thanks
ok i will try it now lets see how things goes are you saying like have 1 or 2 keywords maybe less than 5 in an ad group will that help
You can have more keywords than that but just make sure they're all related. You want each adgroup to have one theme. For example, if you're targeting dating, you might have keywords like: chicago dating los angeles dating new york dating Split those into: chicago dating chicago city dating ---- los angeles dating l.a. dating la dating ---- This tightens the relevance and lets you create more targeted ads such as: Los Angeles Dating Find Your Mate Today ..... dating.com/LosAngeles I hope this helps.
Read google's quality score guidelines... that should get you started the rest is hard learned, if you;ve never used Adwords before expect to spend some money testing before you have success.
With Adwords RELEVANCE IS KEY!! Make sure that the adcopy at the destination URL for the ad is DIRECTLY reflected in your ad's creative. Use common keywords, keywords that contain the same word or phrase, like making money online, "making money online", [making money online], making money from home, "making money from home", [making money from home], steps to making money online, "steps to making money online", [steps to making money online], making big money, "making big money", [making big money], -free. This should continue for all your chosen keywords! The common keyword/s in this case is obviously 'making money'. This needs to feature on the page where the ad-clicker gets sent to, preferably in the page's title and page content should be loaded with this term too! For your ad, (as an example) use 'making money' in the ad's headline and also in the ad's creative (writing). Everything should tie together smartly and if it does your CPC will be smaller. Some keywords are just not worth paying for and these are the ones to avoid usually! Make sure you use long-tailed keywords in your campaigns, (keywords that have several relevant words in them, longer than one word or short phrase). If you do all of the above then your Quality Score should be great and Google will always reward you with lower CPC and higher Ad placement! All the Best! Dave.
great tips I will try your tips i really used some words that is not quite relevant to my site but now, no matter what i type in for my keywords list my cpc for any keywords is $10.00 so.. i have no idea how to deal with this now even i want to get a relevant keyword it still pops up $10.00 cpc any info about this?
Your campaign keywords must match with actual keywords on destination page otherwise adwords will increase your bid price irrationally. like you are selling shoes and bidding on terms like mortgage then adwards bid will get increased massively to $5-$10.
yea i know thats is how people learn from mistakes now my bid dropped down to $1.00 i think tomorrow it should come back to normal and then, i will apply the tips and informations that i learned from you guys on to adwords keywords list
thanks for all your helps, I finally got a hand on this google adwords now I got another 106,0389 impressions with 21 clicks cost me almost 6 bucks good thing is my ads didn't turn into inactive mood anymore even though the cost per clicks still higher than my first ad group that i created when i signed up with adwords everything keywords i try to get are all above 20 cents, the maximum is $5.00, it's still better than $10.00 for every keywords i hope the minimum cost for my cpc will go down to the original soon(less than 10 scents) because $5+ per day, i have to pay so much per month and i don't even know how much i will make from those visitors who clicked on the ads to get into my site so .. have to try for the entire month to see what will happen
