Make Money With Adwords Low Cost Advertising

by Rosie Cottis

If you want to make money with Adwords, you will need to keep up to date with the new strategies that are constantly appearing, as well as keeping pace with the changes that Google makes to its Adwords policies.

In 2007 we all learned to ‘kill’ the competition with Day Job Killer. Hard on the heels of that ground-breaking ebook came the spy programs that let you track your competitors’ ads, copy them and (in theory at least) blast them off the face of the search engines. Unfortunately some of these systems charged a very high price for membership.

Almost at once, people who could not afford the Adwords spy systems or were tired of the constant fighting for search engine placement began looking around for new ideas. Early in 2008 we saw the first signs of what they had found. In fact it was not new, but a rediscovery of something that had been considered dead – the Adsense content network.

If you are new to Adwords, you may not realize that the content and search networks were once one and the same. Google divided them so that advertisers could have more control in the days when click fraud was prevalent, and most advertisers immediately turned off the content network for their ads.

However, times have changed and click fraud is no longer a serious problem. Google now shuts down any Adsense account suspected of ‘invalid clicks’. This is bad news for the Adsense site owners who can now be put out of business by any bored visitor who repeatedly clicks on their ads. But for Adwords advertisers, it means that the content network is up for grabs again.

The content network has several advantages over the search network. First, the cost per click is generally lower. Second, you do not have to fight off the competition in the same way. Third, you have a lot more control – you can specify the exact sites where you want your ad to show.

The last point here is vital and it is strongly recommended that you specify target sites for all of your ads when you are using the content network – and not just the sites, but the precise pages of that site.

Just like advertising on the search network, you want to make sure that the people who see your ad are very interested in your product. You don’t want untargeted clicks. So for example if you are promoting an exercise treadmill, you want your ad on a fitness site, but not on pages about weight training.

It is also better to limit your advertising to sites that display their Adsense above the fold – that is, the ads are visible on the screen without scrolling down. Toward the top left of the screen is the hottest area, that’s where you really want your ad to be.
