Is Google Adwords better than any other marketing method?

by admin on January 30, 2010

In the past 50 years every business owner had to change their views that only a good product is enough for being successful. It wasn’t a problem for product offerers to keep their customers updated about their latest inventions. Almost everyone knew what was offered in a very short time. Making a new product or service well-known was not an issue. There was not the problem of marketing something.

Consumers get so many offers which seem to be similar to any other offer that they have the power to say what price they are willing to pay. The consumers are dictating the price and everyone is trying to court them to their favor.

A mix of good working ad methods is the key for attracting the target group you are trying to achieve? Conventional Ads like tv spot or newspaper. TV spots, newspaper ads, billboard ads all do have one thing in common: All are not cheap and all of them do have a certain wastage level, that means a certain percentage of the target audience attainment will be lost.

It’s time to use the internet for these purposes now. It is now possible to achieve certain things which were not even talked of before. The talk is about spreading your ad message to your exact target audience with a precision rate of almost 100%. Among internet basedword-of-mouth marketing (Empfehlungsmarketing in german)and other forms of ad types a new search engine based ad method has arisen.

With Google Adwords it is now feasible to let your ad appear only in those cases where the google users type in the keywords which you have chosen before. Another advantage is the fact that you only pay for one click/or visitor when someone really clicks on your ad, not for just seeing it like a TV spot.

Now, a lot of people might ask, where the disadvantages are? You have to keep in mind that you will only get the visitors to your website but this doesn’t mean that these will turn to buyers.

Your website has to be tweaked and optimized in such a way that the conversion rate will rise for certain keywords. So, it’s sometimes even necessary to display different versions of your website (landing pages) depending on what kind of keyword the user typed into Google.

There are also a lot of Adwords users who say that Adwords doesn’t work. Often, these people didn’t understand all the nuances of Google Adwords. An Adwords Optimization is indispensable if you want to harness all the benefits of Adwords (translated into german: Adwords Optimierung).

This will cause a lot of advantages: Your ads will be adjusted to the keywords, the costs per click will be lower and you will find a lot of better converting keywords.
