Hello
On this page you’ll get
the requested information.

http://www.sitetube.com/google-tools-services/google-adwords-how-does-it-work-for-you.shtml

I would like to know if a particular company uses Google Adwords – I am researching their ads. Is there some kind of directory for Google Adwords users?

There is no directory for adwords users. Most sites have to put "ads by Google" by that section of the page (but major players like AOL, CNN, etc. don’t). You can also right click on the ad’s title and see what URL it goes to under the "properties" tab…this often has the word "ggogle" embedded among the URL parameters.

I just ordered the Google Adwords kit, but now I am worried. Has anyone tried this? Does it really work or is it a scam? It says it was on the news, and on NBC, ABC, and others.

Those kits are a scam. The information you need is free for the taking at Google but the people selling the kits capitalize on a newbie’s ignorance for profit.

I am a Google Advertiser, both AdWords and AdSense and I learned it all at Google.

Google has tutorials that teach you all you need to know to put an ad campaign together, but they don’t write the ads for you. They can set you up with someone to write AdSense ads for you if you want to go that way.

I don’t know what they charge or just how effective they are, but I do know that business is tough out there now, not near as easy as it was just 2 years ago.

Some advice about your Kit!

If you kept all the info from when you ordered it and still have all the info that came with it, you may be able to cancel the training and any supplemental programs that came with it. These ad on’s can cost you up to $90 a month.

If you want help with Google, someone to aid you while you set things up, I do this type of work. There are ways to test your ads before you place them and free ways to advertise as well.

I hope this helps with your research and if I can help, just ask.

I have seen tons of ads about making money at home through google adwords. They say it is as simple as following a cookbook. Is that true? Has anyone had experiences out there that they can explain how it is so "easy" to make money,with that system? Any other bright ideas,that will not cost me money upfront ?

Great questions! I have also seen and heard a lot of people preach about how easy it is to make money with Google AdWords… What many of them fail to tell you is how much it can cost you if you don’t know what you are doing, or exactly how to do it.

Firstly, to make money with AdWords you need to be selling something, or promoting something from which you will receive a commission. You need to understand, AdWords themselves cost you money, they are simply and advertisement. You make money using them by driving traffic to a product or service.

If you have a website already, you can make money with Google AdSense, but that is another topic in itself.

AdWords are fairly simple and step by step to open and create, however, the best course of action is to research and learn as much as possible before jumping in. Google have their very own training system to help you. Search Google AdWords Professional Training. Best of all it’s free.

All said and done, it is not a quick cash system, but used correctly can be very powerful and profitable.

As for making money without upfront cost, you really need to find a quality product or service to sell or promote, and start by promoting through word of mouth, networks, blogs and articles. Then when you have learnt more about AdWords, try paid advertising such as Pay-Per-Click.

Hope this helps.

I have a bunch of websites with google adwords on them being controlled by one account. How do I give someone access to view the adwords reports for only one of these websites?

You should be able to download the report to excel and then email it to them, thats the safest way. I would email help at adwords and ask they prob. have a better way.

Are there any business owners out there that have found good and free ways to learn google adwords? I am looking at youtube videos, seminars both online and offline as well as the help center…. As i start to get into it i am curious if anyone has found a very effective and inexpensive way to do it.

Please do not respond to just hype your own site or method….there are thousands of sites out there… i am looking for real people that have either gone to the seminars or found free and decent ways to learn.

thanks

WOW what a timely question. I just sit down and figure it out myself and it was truly a pain in the butt. Like you, I went to youtube first but all of the posting were trying to sell me something. The key to it is to play around with the key words section. Once I had all the right key words selected with in 6 hours I started getting clicks.

I would love to walk you through some of the more complicated parts on the phone, it’s to much to type. For now hone in on the Key Words and set your budget to no more than $10.00 per day until you find your targeted group.

So far google is sending my site 40 clicks a day which is more then I could get on my own. I have received as much as 178 visitors per day. You can visit my site at http://www.bouncingncash.com/index.html
DO NOT PAY A COMPANY TO SEND YOU TRAFFIC, ALL OF THESE COMPANIES ARE SCAMS, YOU CAN DO IT ON YOUR OWN!
Hope this helps

I want to open a google adwords account, but I’m afraid of racking up hundreds of dollars in costs and fees. How can I make sure I only spend a small amount of cash ($20 per month)? I don’t want to spend a whole lot of money by accident when I’m just experimenting with the web application. I just want to test it out basically with real money.

You could implement the AdWords budget optimizer. This allows you to set a maximum monthly amount that you wish to spend and will optimize your CPC’s to ensure you get the most value for money.

Aside from that, there is a general setting for Daily Budget, so you can enter $20 and once you hit that amount your ads will shut off.

Which is the best budget and day limit & any other things you know on google adwords? I want to advertise my Business in NY. Which ways for interior designers advertising are best?

You might want to submit a local business listing to Google. This will give you the opportunity to come up in the map listings when they show on your queries.

Then Google for [local seo] or [google maps optimization] for info on how to optimize your listing. Just submitting it probably won’t cause it to show for any competitive queries.

Or, visit my company’s website (ionadas local) as optimization of Google Maps is what I do!

I am using the google Adwords but not attracting a lot of clicks. How should I improve the key words and daily budget to attract more sales? Please give me your advice and experience. Thanks.

The easiest ways:
With adwords, is simple.You must bid high on the beginning, like for the top or second position.
This way you will get more clicks (although more expensive) but you will rank better on relevancy, and quality score.

After just a few days you will check that the minimum bid needed for a specific keyword had been lowered. For instance, let’s say you advertise on the keyword youtube. You would want to deactivate content network ads this time…

Now let’s say that the youtube keyword minimum bid is 1 dollar. The guy on the top position is biding about $ 1.5
You shall bid 1.55 (leave some cents margin) for let’s say, 3 or 4 days. At the end of day 3-4 you will see that the minimum bid have dropped to 80 cents. You can now lower your bid to 1.45 and still be in the top position due to quality score.

the whole process repeats itself until the minimum bid for that keyword reaches 20 cents. This way, you can bid 35 cents for that keyword, and still be on the top position, while the other guy is biding 1.50 and in the second place.

I’ve tested this way several times, with all keywords. Working the quality score is very important. Use smaller groups of keywords and ads and monitor closely. Remove keywords and put them into different ad groups if they do not perform to get the good ad groups well positioned. Bid higher initially to get a ‘forced higher CTR%’. Then gradually lower your bids and hope that your position maintains. But this might take weeks to slowly lower it till you’re paying real low bids & still getting good positions.

One trick is really to tweak your Adcopy to make it look interesting. There have been documented examples, that between a well-written ad vs a unique ad, usually the unique ad wins. (not across all markets!)

I’m using lots of keywords and several campaigns in Google AdWords. How can I tell in Google Analytics which ones are helping me accomplish Goals and at what rate?

Please walk me through step-by-step where I need to look in Google Analytics.

Thank you!

You have to make sure that you have Google Conversion tracking installed and running. Should be under "Tools" in your account. What is your goal? Sales, PR?
Google Analytics will give you an idea what people are doing on your site, how do they navigate, where they are coming from etc.
