Managing AdWords – Handy Hints

by Kirt Christensen

When your ad is relevant searchers gravitate to you. The secret to successful AdWords is relevance. Searchers will click on your ad when you have relevance. When you have relevance, your profits will grow because your ad costs dropped, because Google definitely rewards relevance.

Arrogance falls by the wayside when you are shelling out the money, taking risks with your business and Google is dipping into your credit limit every month. Searchers don’t want to deal with your arrogance either. This story is revealed best in the management of Google AdWords. When it is your card being charged, the information telling you what does or does not get clicks, is in urgent demand.

Google Will Reward Your Relevance

If you bid higher for clicks you can get a higher position on the search pages. However, as your click-through-rate increases, Google will reward you by giving you a better position on the search pages. That is to say they reward you for relevance.

Essentially, the top position has always been awarded to the person with the high bid. But with this twist, here is the formula that has been used by Google to determine the order that the ads come in:

Your Relative Position = Your Bid Price x Your Clickthrough Rate

The more precise explanation of the equation is: your bid price x you Quality Score. But whichever one you use, your click-through-rate makes the biggest impact, besides your bid price.

Next question: Which CTR are we talking about? We are not talking about, the total ad group CTR, nor the CTR of any of your ads either in the search partners or in adsense. We are talking about the Click-Through-Rate of the individual keywords, their performance on Google alone.

With your good click through rate, you don’t have to bid as much for a good position. IE: If I put a bid of 1 dollar and I am getting a 1 percent click-through-rate and your ad get 2 percent click-through-rate, then you will be able to get the same position as I have for a mere fifty cent bid, and if you bid only one cent more than that 50 cents you would get a better position. To top that, if you already own the top position, as your click-through-rate increases Google automatically lowers your bid price. Way to go!

It may seem like some magic formula but it’s not. What it means to you is that you are paying out less money to Google each month and that is money in the bank!
