ADWORD DISTRIBUTION
from:The distribution control of your adword advertisement impressions in order to meet only your prospective targeted internet users is one of the most tedious and often neglected components of Adword. It is important to note that all AdWords adverts are eligible to be shown on Google website. Advertisers can also enable their adverts to show on Google's partner content networks. These Google’s partner content network includes America Online search, Ask.com search, and Netscape Inc. Just as in Google website, these search engines also show Adwords adverts in response to user searches which are done using keyword or keyword phrase.
HOW DOES ADWORD DISTRIBUTION WORK? Google Adwords evaluates an account’s statistical data every time after 1,000 impressions are detected on an Ad. If the clickthrough rate (CTR) for an account is below a minimum required CTR rate which changes as the position of advert is changed, the keywords that are underperforming, will be disabled. Also note that it may show your adverts occasionally on your underperforming keywords. Your keyword will be disabled completely if its performance is not improved. You’ll then need to re-design your campaign in such a way that it leads to improved performance and effectiveness. After editing or re-designing your campaign, you can again restore the full advert delivery to your account.
On the other hand, if your adverts achieve a high click through rate for a very general term, this can lead to you spending a huge amount of money uselessly. So, the important question remains how to get your adverts more closely targeted to your prospective audience? The most obvious suggestion is to use the tools provided by Google to you:
FORMS OF ADWORD DISTRIBUTION
Adwords distribution is done or displayed in two forms which are:
Text: Text ads have an introductory line on top and two lines following that form the content.
Images: Images are sized according to specific sizes supported by Adwords.
Adverts distributions are on pay per click basis using keyword ranking. Another benefit of using Adwords is that Google’s partners, which form its content network, also place the sponsored links on their own sites.
Ads relative to Subject
The Google search engine selects the pages that are related to the subject and displays ads on these. These ads can be in form of text or images. It is important to note that AdWords mechanism work by Broad Matching. This makes your adverts which consist of keyword or keyword phrase to be displayed on the search engine when type in any order by a viewer. So, for example if you target 'DRIVE', under Broad Match, your advert will be shown when someone searches for: auto drive, manual drive, pilot drive, emotional drive, sex drive, etc. Not even one of these is from the targeted keyword list.
HOW TO GET YOUR ADWORD ADVERTS TO YOUR TARGETED AUDIENCE.
Keyword and keyword phrase are very important in getting target. Just as a good, interesting and well structure keyword phrase attract audience to your campaign, so also an unexciting keyword phrase will not make much impact to the audience. The first step in drawing the attention of the audience to your advert is to display using the 'Phrase Match' feature in AdWords. It helps you in limiting your adverts display to only those searches in which your search phrases are included in proper order. 'Phrase Match' feature, can be activated by simply enclose your search terms in quotation marks, for example, "Auto Driver". Now, only those terms that includes both Auto and Drive in that order will be shown your advert, such as: free auto driver, auto driver software, etc.
One more way to make you keyword phrase more attractive and to increase its click through rate is by understanding how to use The 'Exact Match' feature of Google Adwords. On using this feature, your advert will only when the exact search phrase is entered. The 'Exact Match' feature is activated once you place parentheses around your search term. In our example, we'd use the term [Auto Drive]. Now, only the exact search term 'Auto Drive' will cause our AdWords advert to be displayed.
