If you have a new domain, as in less than 3 months old, and you can’t wait to see your site grow organically with all the SEO in place, the best way to drive traffic to your website is perhaps using Google Adwords. But before you even try, I assume you do not have the affordability to burn your hard earn money lavishly, it’s better you understand how it works and how it can work to your advantage.
Always start small and only begin after an effort to get the best keyword that meet both your budget and reasonable traffic yield. Google Keyword Tool is a good instrument for that and most of all, it’s free.
Strategize carefully with what you are trying to promote by looking hard at the return against your cost. If you are just out testing to see how it work out for you, that’s fine with a little margin or even a little loss. The experience is always more valuable, just make sure the loss is well within what you can stomach. A little scratch and bruise are inevitable in business sometime.
Perry Marshall
Perry Marshall, widely hailed as The Wizard of Google AdWords, will have you feel that every cent you feed to your Adwords campaign must count. In his recent email newsletter, he made an assumption on how much it’ll cost you if a visitor who clicks on a link, assuming you pay 50 cents for it, and then spent about 8 seconds on your web page before leaving your site. You will think that’s 50 cents thrown down the drain, but if you extrapolate that 8 seconds to an hour, that’s a whopping $225 an hour in opportunity cost.
As Perry succinctly puts it, “Attention is the most valuable commodity in the world today”. You may have done a superb job with your keyword search, but if your landing page is not crafted to grab attention long enough and to convert, then it’s really money thrown down the drain. So basically 2 most important things you need to form up perfectly before you even start, that is your landing page and keyword search.
