Google AdWords - The Key to Earning a Fortune on the Internet
By Ewan N MacLeod One of the keys to generate massive sales and a serious income on the Internet is Google AdWords. When you do a search in Google, the results are displayed with the 'most popular' web sites listed first. Most people only look at the results that appear on the first page, so it's vital to your success to make your site appear on the first page. That way people are much more likely to visit your web site. The amount of traffic that Google can bring is truly stunning - potentially millions of people visiting your web site. Imagine what happens to your income when that number of visitors start coming to your web site!
It is therefore critical to your success that you make your web site appear on the first page of Google results. However, to do that, you need to be among the most popular sites. So how does Google decide what the 'most popular' sites are? Google counts how many links there are to your web site across the whole of the Internet, and reckons that the sites with the most links are the most popular. Clearly, getting people to link to your site is therefore a critical factor.
However, ask yourself the following question. Instead of working really hard for months until people link to your site and it starts to become popular, at which point it will appear high in the Google rankings, wouldn't it be nice if you could just pay a bunch of money and get your site to appear on the first page without all that hard work?!
In a nutshell, that is exactly what Google AdWords does for you. You pay a surprisingly small amount of money for your advert to appear on the first page of Google's search results. To make things fairer to those who have worked hard to create genuinely popular web sites, these adverts are separated from the rest of the Google search results. They are called Sponsored Ads, because people have sponsored (paid) for those ads to appear. They are displayed above and to the right of the other search results.
Google AdWords, therefore, allows you to leap-frog to the top of the search results. Better still, you don't pay just because your adverts appear on the first page. You only pay when someone clicks on the advert and actually goes to your web site. You bid for certain keywords and, depending on a combination of your knowledge and skill, you could either pay lots of money on clicks that don't generate sales, or you could pay for clicks that produce some massive results.
It sounds simple, and setting up a Google AdWords campaign can be very simple. Once you know how, within minutes you can set up a new campaign, directing traffic to a web site of your choosing. That web site could be one you have set up yourself, or a link to a product that you want to earn commission on through affiliate marketing, or anything else you can think of. However, despite its apparent simplicity, Google AdWords is much harder to use than you might think. There are a lot of 'gotchas' under the hood, areas where you can get tripped up and waste your time and money if you don't get it right.
Google AdWords is a very powerful tool, and when used correctly, it is one of the keys to earning serious money on the Internet.
