To assure success for your internet based marketing or advertising campaign, one thing you absolutely must have is a Sponsored Search Marketing Strategy. Google AdWords is perhaps the best known as well as the most effective.

As a form of Search Engine Marketing, Google AdWords has other methods beat. This is due to the incredible versatility you'll have by having access to more websites than any other search engine - your ad here? More accurately, your ad anywhere you want it to be. You bid on the placement you want on Google's sites, including on it's search engine result pages.

Here, we're going to go into the depths of the Google AdWords structure so that you can plan your search engine marketing campaign better as a part of your Internet Marketing Strategy.

A typical account on Google AdWords follows this structure:

Campaign> AdGroup>Keywords and Ad Copy

Just one level below the main level of your Google AdWords account, you'll find the campaign level, where you'll have control over settings like language, geographically based targeting and the timing for when you'd like your ads to appear. This can be set by the quarter hour. The campaign level and theme of your AdGroup (e.g. - your campaign itself) should match, or be related at the least.

Campaign> AdGroup> Keywords & Ad Copy

After this campaign level, you come to the AdGroup level of your Google AdWords account. This is the specific part where you can have 10,000 sections to help you organize all your keywords along with their correspondence with the Ad Copy you intend your keywords to trigger. Thus, make sure your AdGroup has a name which is thematically related to the keywords found in the group.

Campaign>AdGroup> Keywords & Ad Copy

The keywords in the Google AdWords will come directly after the Ad Group. These are the words you would want the search engine to target. You can use three different techniques in order to make your keywords list:

Broad Match Keywords -

With broad match, the exact words you entered as keywords will be targeted, as well as any words found combined with them, or even between your words.

Phrase Match Keywords-

Here, the words can be found beside each other but the keywords find a way to put themselves on to either end of the sentence.

Exact Match Keywords-

This is the exact similar word your AdCopy is looking for! Thus, AdCopies and keywords should be relevantly correlated.

Campaign>AdGroup>Keywords & Ad Copy

The keywords and AdCopy need to be closely grouped together. The AdGroup is comprised in part by the AdCopy, thusly the keywords should be very well integrated with the copy. You'll have four lines to make your case in the AdCopy area: Title, two lines of descriptive copy and URL.

Obviously, the object here is for the copy to grab the attention of passing eyeballs. The title should make readers pay notice, the AdCopy should hold their interest and get them engaged enough to click on your link. Be creative with the limited space you have here. You need to get people's attention from the get-go here. Try doing something different than what everyone else does with their ads. You'll never get a chance to get your message across if you can't get reader's attention in the first place.

If you're selling an item as opposed to a service, your AdCopy is going to be different for different cases. If you're in services, you ad may have to orient itself to the local scenario. Among the local ads, those targeted to a particular region will also have to be given their own campaign strategy.

Summary:

AdWords accounts try and bring you the best results by being a very well-constructed method and it has relevancy programmed in before the bidding begins. Even after 5 years of creating such accounts, we find ourselves discovering new things about it everyday. You're going to have to keep a constant eye on your account, though, as the market is in perpetual flux. We would suggest Google Analytics as good system to help you keep track of it.
