The Assorted Pros And Disadvantages Of Google Adwords

by admin on November 14, 2010

The main big benefit to the Google Adwords tool is that it might drive highly targeted visitors straight to where it is needed at an affordable cost. That’s a few benefits in a single sentence, but they are all true.

However, because of the way the way that the system works, loads of people try to drive in too much visitors and in doing so really ruin the results and pay far too much for expensive traffic. For these people it really is a white elephant.

So let us look at those benefits in detail. First, you get highly targeted adverts. Not merely adverts on the side of the search results, but also adverts on other websites. Several people don’t like this part, others do. But Google is getting very clever with its algorithms these days and the adverts on third party sites are not merely based on the content of the page being viewed. They also track the history of what other web-sites you have used and other Google advertisements that have been clicked on. The advert is chosen because it matches the person’s interests, not merely to fill a space in a magazine or website layout.

And the advertising could be affordable. Look around for the correct keywords and you can be paying pennies for them and yet advertising towards the top of the first page. Better still, your advertisement relates exactly to the individual product on offer and the click should take the person directly to the page on which they could find out more information. You are not depending on them finding this information having landed on your site.

But it is not all good news. The really high traffic keywords, especially in competitive niches, might be very expensive even to get onto the 2nd or 3rd page of advertisements. At this point you are impending to see next to no clicks. Bidding on general terms is certainly a bad idea anyway, so should be avoided.

Competitors could also click on your adverts and rack up your expenses. But yet again there is a solution to this. If you notice through your logs that it is happening inform Google and if they agree, a refund will be forthcoming. Better still, they are in point of fact searching for such fraud and if detected they will automatically refund, or cancel, the advertising fees incurred.

The only other real problem of the system is learning to write a good advertisement. It could take time and effort to learn how to write a good effort that works, but once you succeed then as long as you are realistic as to what keywords you should bid on then the experience should be good. You only need a good site to sell from!
