Adwords help
I'd like to share with you some specific bidding strategies you can implement right away that should have a nice effect on your AdWords campaigns. Bidding is a big topic, and it's impossible to cover everything in a single article. But if you put just these few strategies into practice, I can almost guarantee you will see a higher conversion rate. First of all, I want to talk about how you should bid when you are first setting up your campaign. At the outset, you absolutely need to bid high. Some people are under the illusion that they should start small and work their way up in terms of cost per click. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the correct strategy is exactly opposite of that. When you are first setting up your AdWords campaign, you need to set the bidding high. The specific cost per click is going to vary, depending on the market you are in. But you certainly want to bid enough so that your ad position is on the first page, preferably in position two or three. Note that your ad position is determined not just by bidding, but also by your CTR (click through rate) and quality score. When you are first starting an AdWords campaign, you don't have any CTR or quality score numbers--they need to be built up. So in order to build these up, you need to bid higher than normal so that your ad is shown in a high position. If you do this and write a compelling ad, you will in turn receive clicks. And once you receive clicks, your CTR will continue to go up. As your CTR and quality score increases, then you can start to lower your cost per click and still maintain the same ad position.
