Hi guys.. im trying google adwords for the first time for my business. my CTR is 0.11%, average clicks 16, 20 & Im bedding on keywords like web hosting, hosting etc, because that the only keywords available. my daily budget is $43, but i think it is too much when you are not selling anything, besides my hosting plans very are cheap. What do you suggest? should i look for other alternatives? thankns
Are you making any money from the adverts? Make sure you can track the sales from the adverts and measure the ROI. Web hosting is a hard market to be in. Most of the big hosts will make a loss for most of their advertising on google.
humm, thought trying on google will change my luck.. I will stop my Adword account today, it's doing more bad than any good. i was happy selling in ebay though.. thanks for the tip.
Yes, it does depend on if you are making money or losing money overall. If you are making money from your ads, then keep it up!
Its not always the ads that are the problem between clickthroughs and signups Sometimes its the website or product/service they are being directed too. On your website, it might help if the price was shown broken down into what it costs monthly as that is usually the basis on which most people contemplating webhosting look at. It took me a couple of seconds to realise your prices were yearly. Some people may mistake them as monthly. Also You need to look at the market and see what you are offering is competitive (especially against your google adwords rivals) eg usually people expect if they are paying (whatever the price) for webhosting to have at least 1 mysql database
Perhaps try adding some more specific keywords as suggested by http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ and use the exact and phrase matching options. This should help to make your traffic more targeted and likely to lead to sales.
