Negative Keywords are important to your Adwords campaign
Posted by on June 26, 2008 05:27 PMWeb marketers and online advertisers have the choice whether or not to
include negative keywords on their Google AdWords campaigns. As a web marketer,
you really have to include negative keywords on your Google AdWords campaigns
It is essential that web marketers and online advertisers use negative
keywords as part of their list of keywords and keyword phrases in a Google
AdWords campaign. Negative keywords will prevent your ad form appearing on a
publisher’s website if the negative keywords you choose are included in the
search phrase that Google uses. Remember that the search phrase is what Google
uses to match ads and contents.
Another advantage of using negative keywords on your Google AdWords
campaigns is that it helps reduce the number of unqualified links. Negative
keywords help control the number of click throughs – especially the ones which
would not be converted to sales.
The use of negative keywords on your Google AdWords campaign helps increase
the click through rate of your ads. If you use negative keywords, there will a
smaller number of online users that will be able to view your ads without
clicking. And you know what higher Click through Rate or CTR means, right? It
means higher ad position without having to increase your pay per click bids.
Web marketers and online advertisers must be very careful though in using
negative keywords. The negative keywords you use will be applied to all the ad
groups in your Google AdWords campaign. So consider using only the most
possible negative keywords to avoid causing negative effects on your Google
AdWords campaign.
For instance, your website provides marriage consultancy and you use
consultancy as one of your broad keywords, it is important that you specify
what keyword phrases do not apply to your consultancy service. You can use
divorce consultancy as one of the negative keywords. When you do this, nobody
searching for divorce consultancy will be able to see your ads and therefore,
you reduce the number of click throughs that are not convertible to customers.
If you provide website services but does not offer website design, you
should specify it in your negative keywords in case you use website as one of
your general keyword terms. This way, no one seeking for website design will
land on your website.
Negative keywords give your ads only the most targeted site traffic – and
only the traffic that has the potential to be converted to customers. Remember
only to be very careful in the choice of negative keywords.
