You are paying too much for Google Adwords

Google Adwords are a great way to get a lot of new targeted traffic to your site and in the spirit of free enterprise, Google will sell adwords for as much as you are willing to bid on them.

Here are a couple of basic points you need to understand in order to use Google Adwords effectively.

1. Buying Google Adwords does not increase your organic search ranking in .
2. Being number two or three in the ranking down the right hand side of Google may be better than being number one and is certainly less expensive.

Adwords are calculated by charging the number two ad a penny more than number one, the problem is that people are far too often too willing to pay whatever Google suggests simply because the suggestion was made. You shouldn’t do it, it is only a recommendation. Also, the top people fall off the minute their budget is reached for the day and their ad isn’t shown. So, by paying less, many times a lot less, you end up being number one.

And, the top three and four positions on the right hand side of Google all get a lot of traffic. Spend your time on creating a killer headline and you’ll spend less, spend time on creating a killer landing page when they click your ad and you’ll convert more.
