Adwords Tactics: Restructure Your Ads Groups Today!

by Kirt Christensen

Google Adwords is an incredible method for garnering high-quality traffic to your site almost instantly, but it does have a considerable learning curve to it…

…And that's a ton of pressure when it's your credit card being billed for every click!

So, here's some quick advice from a seasoned veteran of the Adwords marketing game, and an easy way to increase your ROI on Adwords:

A critical component of your Adwords account is how well you have your Adgroups setup and arranged.

Don't fall into the oh-so common trap of only creating a couple of adgroups per campaign and then stuffing them with hundreds (or thousands) of keywords.

Save yourself lots of pain and frustration, don't do this!

Trouble in that you'll end up paying way more per click, suffer from lower CTR's due to poor relevance of your ads, and most likely be nailed with poor quality scores.

Always remember, "relevance" is key on Adwords!

It's impossible to write ads that are targeted, specific and "relevant" for hundreds of different keywords all in the same adgroup, so you need to "break out" keywords into their own adgroups.

For high-traffic keywords, this could mean one keyword (with the three different match types, broad, phrase and exact) per adgroup, and that's it!

Even for lower traffic keywords, have no more than 15 to 21 keywords per adgroup.

After you spend some time "breaking out" the keywords into fresh adgroups, notice how much easier it is to write extremely focused ads, including the keyword as much as possible in the ads.

Your ROI on your Adwords investment will instantly increase, overnight, along with lowering your per click costs and increasing your CTR!
