How to Use Long- & Short-Tail Keywords to Gain a Competitive Edge in Pay Per Click

How would you like to have less competition, and at the same time lower the cost of your Google pay per click campaigns?

Google Pay Per Click Marketing: The Old Way

If you follow what everyone else is doing (eg, bidding on the same keywords), you will most likely get the same results. But, it may cost you more and if you can’t afford it, then you have to drop out of the game.

Google Pay Per Click Marketing: The New Way

In order to get different (ie, better) results – without breaking the bank – it’s time to try something new. Following is a plan for getting better results.

1. Go for Long-Tail Keywords: Instead of bidding on the same keywords as everyone else, bid on long tail keywords. You’ll most likely have less competition for these keywords, which mean they cost less. But, the brilliance in bidding on these keywords is that they can convert better than shorter, more popular phrases that all of your competitors are bidding on.

The reason is, when web surfers are serious about purchasing, they tend to get very specific (ie, use more words) to find what they’re looking for.

2. Optimize Landing Page with Original Keywords: Optimize your landing page using the shorter, competitive keywords everyone else is bidding on.

By “double dipping” in the long-tail and short-tail keyword waters like this, you gain traffic from organic searches, as well as higher-converting, lower-cost traffic from your Google PPC marketing efforts.

Create Pay Per Click Keywords that Get Results

Are your keywords performing as well as they should be?
Here’s how to determine relevant keywords that result in driving the greatest traffic at the least cost. Did you know that most successful PPC advertisers own between 500 & 5,000 keywords? Your Pay Per Click advertising success is dependant on understanding your customers and building targeted keyword lists for Google Adwords and all others.

Questions to ask when developing your keyword strategy:
•          What do your customers search for?
•          How do customers search for your product/service? 
•          What words do you use to brand your product?
•         How do they buy? What’s your product/service buying cycle?

Keyword Development Tips for Success:
•          Review related brand names and products if applicable to yours
•          Look at keywords related to your marketing materials
•          Add everything related to your new product or service offerings
•          Qualify generic keywords to make them more targeted
•          Review related meanings of your keywords
•          Make a list of multiple intents and singular/plural changes
•          List all related acronyms
•          Define your ideal keywords – not too hot, not too cold
•          Brainstorm with your team, customers and strangers
•          Choose related nouns and adjectives

<<<PPC Insiders Tip>>>One way to get ahead of the game is to research the keywords your competitors are bidding on by using tools like Adgooroo and viewing the source code on competitor’s websites for ideas.
