Does Your AdWord Campaign Require Micro Managing?
The advertisements are everywhere. People who are making hundreds of dollars in profits from the use of AdWords to sell their products working only two to three hours a day. They would have you believe that this is ordinary and commonplace and that you too can make hundreds of dollars in a single day "just by turning on your computer".

What isn't said is that internet ad campaigns require a whole lot more than 2or 3 hours of work each day, particularly if you are just setting up and starting out with your campaign and getting all the keywords and ads running at peak performance. Nothing else you do will demand the same level of intense micro-management.

Ponder this.

The first thing you are going to need to do is go to Google's databases and discover which keywords are popular among all of the recent searches.

After that you make up a list of keywords that are pertinent to your product, then compare that list to the list from Google. (The simplest way to make the list is write down the terms you would use if you were going to look for your product on the internet.)

Once you have chosen the keywords you wish to use you are going to have to bid on them. This does not mean that you are going to have to e-mail Google and say, "I'm willing to pay (x amount of money) for the privilege of using this keyword in my advertising campaign" and Google will say yes or no, thereby allowing you to post your ad. This is unrealistic.

Instead, Google uses the policy that the ad that appears first in the list is going to be the one seen the most often and generate the greatest amount of profits to secure their own profit.

AdWords operates on a pay per click basis. This means that the advertiser (in this case you) will be charged a fee every time that the ad is clicked and a viewer follows the link to its webpage. This has nothing to do with whether a sale is made.

Ads that are chosen more often bring more profits to Google, so the give the more desirable top position to an ad that has a higher bid placed on it.

Once a bid is placed and an ad is run it is necessary to monitor the success of that ad every step of the way, as well as any changes that may occur pertaining to the popularity of that keyword on the market.

After ads or keywords become less popular (and less profitable) you launch a new campaign to replace it.

No, you are not going to make hundreds of dollars a day doing virtually nothing through the use of Google AdWords; you are, however, going to gain a fine appreciation for the art of multi-tasking and micro-management and, if you are among the truly fortunate, being able to see your business flourish.
