The majority of Internet marketers know about Google Adwords and its power to drive laser-targeted traffic for the products or services they created or are affiliated with. However, Adwords can cause high monthly advertising costs, especially for new and unprepared marketers who think they can make easy money with Pay-Per-Click advertising. Since Google uses very complex algorithms to determine the placement of advertisers’ ads and never reveals anything about their inner workings, only experienced Adwords marketers know how to get the most exposure for the least amount of money. Those who are making money through Adwords created their campaigns mainly based on their experience gained by years of struggling with Google.

With Google’s ever-changing system, even veteran marketers have to monitor the changes that may affect their existing campaigns, which has made it harder and harder to advertise on Google. Mastering the techniques to use Google Adwords to drive targeted traffic is already a popular Internet marketing topic on its own. There are many websites and publications out there that are solely devoted to teaching people how to get the most out of their Adwords campaigns.

In my opinion, ‘Beating Adwords’ is the most comprehensive Adwords guide published so far. What I like most is the practical and step-by-step approach shown in this eBook. ‘Beating Adwords’ clearly points out that organized advertising and commitment to sticking to the basics are essential to making decent money online. To make your online business a success, you have to put your advertising system on autopilot first. But this requires a lot of painstaking work, to be honest with you.

‘Beating Adwords’ is written by Kyle and Carson, two successful young online marketers who are also the respected owners of WealthyAffiliate.com. They know exactly how Google Adwords works, and they reveal the secrets behind Google’s complicated system by guiding readers step by step in creating Adwords campaigns.

‘Beating Adwords’ begins with an introduction to affiliate marketing and PPC advertising in section 1. Sections 2 and 3 offer an examination of Google Adwords and techniques to choose affiliate programs and to find profitable keywords. Sections 4 to 7 take a close look at Adwords optimization skills, including how to write effective ad copy that sells, how to group relevant keywords, techniques to obtain a high Quality Score, advanced bidding strategies, and dynamic keyword insertion, to name just a few.

You may have heard that Google changed their ad ranking and relevancy algorithms not long ago, which has affected advertisers worldwide. The most common effect is with regard to minimum bid prices that skyrocket to ridiculously high. To help advertisers get their campaigns back to normal, ‘Beating Adwords’ devotes the entire section 8 to creating relevant landing pages with enough keyword density. With web page optimization skills, advertisers can stay ahead of the competition by getting maximum exposure for the least amount of money.

Staying focused and organized is the most important, yet most challenging, aspect of growing an affiliate marketing business. ‘Beating Adwords’ is a powerful library of Adwords information with no confusing fancy jargon.

I have benefited a lot from Beating Adwords. And I’m sure that it will help advertisers dramatically in their efforts to win in the highly competitive affiliate marketing business.

Combining the power of Google’s Adwords with the resources of an affiliate network such as ClickBank provides you with a potentially massive earning powerhouse.

Whilst Adwords allows you to access 100 million people in less than 10 minutes and is therefore probably the best internet marketing tool available, it is also the most difficult to master.

This isn’t news and everyone knows this already you may say, however only a select few are really making the big money.

Why is this?

Well it’s because only the so called internet marketing gurus know how to effectively leverage Google Adwords for significant profits.

In fact, for the inexperienced Adwords campaigner, Adwords is a great way to quickly deplete your bank account for no or very little gain – Google seems to punish uneducated affiliate marketers and rewards smart ones.

So what are the secrets to the effective use of Adwords?

1. Ad Copy

Poor ad copy and your campaign won’t get off the ground or worse still will cost you money in wasted (badly targeted) clicks.

The structure that works for most advertisers is to ask a question on line 1 (heading) which will ignite the prospect’s interest, mention a captivating feature of the product on line 2, provide a real benefit on line 3 and finally place the url to link to on line 4.

2. Ensure Maximum Return form each Adword Click (ROI)

Each time someone clicks your Adword Ad it is costing you money.

It is therefore obvious that you want this person to click through and make a purchase.

This is the best outcome you can hope for from your ad.

3. Ensure your Traffic is Targeted

Always bid on exact match keywords which will contribute to only targeted traffic clicking on your ads facilitate a good click thru rate (CTR) and sales.

When creating a new AdWords campaign, uncheck the ‘Content Network’ box in the campaign settings and limit your ads to being displayed only on Google’s ‘Search Network’ to ensure only highly qualified and targeted prospects click on your ads.

4. Bid to be in Position 2 or 3

Bidding to get into position #1 is not such an advantage as clicks can be more costly without any significant benefit.

However, having your ad in one of these top spots will result in a higher CTR which will Google will reward you for by charging you less per click.

5. Do Not Use Competitive Keyword Phrases

Because of the high competition for popular keywords they result in a low CTR and also a high cost per click (CPC).

Therefore use more specific keyword phrases, for example: “cheap airfares” will be more competitive than “cheap airfares every Saturday evening from Gatwick”

6. Split Testing

Split testing your ads will enable you to determine the CTR for each ad and you can then modify the lower performing ones.

7. Analyze

Always analyze each ads performance to see how many clicks each ad is getting and how many sales result from each one.

In conclusion in any pay per click (PPC) campaign the focus must always be on your return on investment (ROI) as it is easy to have an Adwords campaign eat up your budget in no time at all without much to show for it.

Therefore acquaint yourself with Google’s Adwords thoroughly or better still invest in a reputable guide to Adwords, The Adwords Miracle is good value, prior to embarking on your campaign which will either work for you or cost you.

One of the most effective methods of advertising to come along online is “pay-per-click” or PPC, best known because of Google’s “Adwords” program. PPC and Adwords can also be very tricky and difficult to master, so instead of relying on the information Google provides on how to use Adwords, many people have created Adwords guides both to give away and to sell. Some of these PPC and Adwords guides are better than others, although some useful information may be garnered from just about all of them. A few Adwords guides may provide bad or incomplete advice, however, that could cost you an arm and a leg.

Adwords basically works like this: You set up an account, create short ads - the kind we see all over websites, called “Adsense” - based around a product and using a set of “keywords” or words and phrases, and you are up and running in a short time. Sometimes you may not stay up and running, however, because Google often does account reviews that may slow things down. Adwords sounds very simple and exciting, and it is on face value. But, there’s a reason for all the Adwords guides - and that is because making a profit using Adwords is not at all easy. It may have been at one point, but it doesn’t seem to be so anymore. If you have ever tried using Adwords or PPC in general and failed, you are not alone. Unless you are either incredibly smart or lucky, you will likely fail many times before you get the hang of it. The “incredibly smart” part would be, in my opinion, the one that studies the subject before embarking on advertising with Adwords and PPC. And one of the best places to go to study the techniques that do turn a profit using Adwords is Chris McNeeney’s Adwords Miracle ebook.

There is no doubt that Chris has managed to master Adwords and affiliate marketing in a very short time, and he has the data to prove it. There is also no question that the Adwords Miracle guide contains very solid easy-to-understand strategies that at the very least can help you understand better what you are getting into when you decide to use the PPC/Adwords method of advertising. The Adwords Miracle book is so thorough - yet not filled with filler and fluff - that you could feel overwhelmed. But this information is the sort that you need to study, reading over and over again, and to implement and to experiment with. In this way, you just might find that you can create your very own Adwords miracles!
