Keywords

Tricks
11
Keyword lists are hard to develop.
• Building a keyword list takes time + hard
work– How do you get from 10 words to 100?
– How do you find out Synonyms? Antonyms?
Related nyms?
• There’s not a lot of easily available data on
keywords– How does a specific keyword perform?
– How much will the KW cost? How many impressions
are available? Clicks?
– Keywords alone are not enough – need volume and
monetization metrics.

and adCenter impressions.

keywords you are buying.

Managing lots of keywords
is kinda messy.
• Uploading keywords and ads takes a lot of time– Each item has to be managed individually.
• It’s not easy to copy and paste– You are spending time in excel and want to be able to easily port
that information directly into adCenter.
– There’s a need to replicate what’s working on one engine to
another engine.
• Sometimes, you want to change a lot of little things
all at once– Raise all your bids by a 20%, delete a set of keywords, add a set
of keywords – across multiple campaigns.

3• What are parameters or dynamic text?
– A string value that's not resolved until runtime.
• Types of values:– adCenter defined
(Keyword, MatchType, QueryString, OrderItemID, and AdID)
– dynamic value defined by you or users (Param1, Param2, and
Param3)
• Trick #1: Custom Ads– Use {Keyword} as a parameter to dynamically create an ad that
matches the users queries.
• Trick #2: Dynamic Destination URLS– Leverage parameters to attach key information to the referring URL
for detailed tracking.
