How Keywords Can Help Your Pay Per Click Advertising



A good list of keywords is vital for a successful pay per click campaign. You should be diligent in your research and attempt to find the best keywords. Try to compile a substantial list and leave no stone unturned to be successful.

You are probably wondering how to achieve this? Let us assume that you have chosen the base keyword "loan." This is a popular keyword. Unfortunately this is a saturated keyword and it is not easy to get a high position for it. To improve your position you should extend your keyword research.

Try to imagine all the ways that your base keyword can be searched for. When they type in "loans" a searcher can be looking for several things. It is important to put yourself in a searcher's mind set and understand how they are interpreting your keyword. Some ideas would be; "bad credit loan," "getting loan" etc.

These keywords are just a slight deviation from the base keyword. You can dig down and expand your scope. There are many varieties of loans available. You should combine these keywords with your first basic list and see all the options you will come up with, just from one base word.

An ad campaign can also be compiled from just lenders names. Then expand your concept by adding .com, .net or a country extension, if you are trying to target a country. Despite the fact that there are no domains for these key phrases you will be surprised to know that searchers do type in search words like this. These searchers will notice your ad and even take action by clicking through.

Do not use saturated keywords that have a lot of competition bidding on them. Find specialized ones that are derived from the primary keyword. Also make different key phrases from one phrase; "loan bad credit" can be taken from "bad credit loan." Doing this will attract more searchers.

Campaigns and keywords can be created around the different search keywords that your potential buyers will be looking for. It is wise to try all sorts of different keywords and phrases as searchers can use a wide variety of keywords and phrases.

Begin with serial numbers, plurals, misspelled words, product and domain names. Also do not put spaces between words, as this is a popular typo error with searches.

Use company names and domain names, as well as variations on them. Think about using superlatives like "best" or "cheapest", and remember that there may be spelling variations in different countries.

Web logs are a good source of keywords. These will help you to discover the ones your visitors are using to get to your site.

A good keyword list is the foundation for a successful pay per click campaign. To ensure your success, explore all your options before you decide on the words you're going to target.
