No matter how long your Adwords campaign has been running you can ALWAYS improve it.

How much money can you make for Google today? It is important to understand that your ads placement can depend on several factors, primarily it's performance and how much you're willing to pay. Google does this to maximize their profits, but it helps with yours too. If you are willing to pay more, they will place your ad higher and increase the chances of it being clicked on. However, if your click through rate is poor your ad will be penalized and you will have to pay more for the same ranking as someone with a better performing ad.Getting higher conversion starts before clients ever get to your site. The more relevant ad you show your customers to their search query will increase your click through, and the more relevant the landing page the more likely they will find what they are looking for. You always want to create different AdGroups for each category within your website. This is going to allow you to optimize the best keywords and set the best landing page for each search query.

Out with the old, in with the new. In addition to making specific AdGroups you will also want to make new ads regularly for your AdGroups. Creating different ads will allow you to maximize your profits because you will be able to continually improve your ads, fine tuning your click through rates. When creating new ads you can emphasize different products, different benefits (quality, price, free shipping, etc.), or simply try new phrasing. The default setting on your AdWords account will have your Ads cycling automatically showing the more successful Ads for more regularly. This means by creating new ads you are simply increasing your chances of success, and learning what your market reacts to by comparing ad performance. Create as many Ads as you'd like, but make sure you keep track of them as you will want to remove the ones that are clearly unsuccessful. Which brings us to our next point...

Take out the trash. One important step in making your campaign more efficient is to clean out keywords and ads that don't perform well. If your cost depends on your performance, why keep keywords that are dragging you down? After you have had enough time to see how well they are performing, up to a month or two depending on your budget, pause or delete the keywords and ads that aren't performing for you. Removing factors that hurt your overall performance will make your campaign more economical.

Don't be shy when it comes to adding new keywords. Don't hesitate to try some new keywords on a regular basis, but do hesitate to add keywords that are irrelevant. Keeping in mind that being specific to your product and market is important any time that you come across a keyword that will work with one of your AdGroups give it a shot and see how it performs. You can also check the AdWords keyword tool to look for new keywords regularly.

Just because your ad is, doesn't mean your site is. The last thing you want to do is go about investing too much in your adwords campaign just to get traffic. You want to make sure that your site is converting too. A successful website will have a conversion rate between 2-3%. This means that for every 100 visitors you will make 2-3 sales. If your site is performing, you will use your conversion rate to determine your AdWords budget as well. If you have a 2% conversion rate, 1 in 50 customers purchase, you can do multiply your bid by 50, and subtract this from your profit margin on the product or service that ad is promoting. This will allow you to see your adjusted profit margin after advertising costs.
