Testing Your Niche Against The Market…

If you’ve never attempted a pay per click campaign, a good idea is to start with a small budget in order to test your market place.

Testing helps you to find out what your ‘future customers’ are looking for. Google is a great place to test a new campaign. When you place an ad with Google, you’ll end up with an ad in the ’sponsored links’ search results.

If you have not seen these small ads within Google, go do a search on Google for just about anything you can think of. Now, take a close look at the results, you’ll see the the results are separated into two groups. Natural, organic results and the paid ’sponsored links’ results.

Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a little ad within Google so you can learn the ropes, but be careful. Placing an advertisement sounds easy in theory, but you must be in control of daily spend limits. Set a budget and be prepared to invest in clicks/traffic to test your niche. You need to determine the keywords and phrases that your target customer base are typing in Google when it comes to your product or service.

You can try and guess these words, but your far better off using online tools and software to give you an inside look into a niche. There are free tools like the keyword tool within your Adwords account, then there is state of the art software programs like Google Cash Detective 2 that virtually spy on your competition and save you testing a niche.

In my opinion keyword research is crucial, especially if you have a limited advertising budget. You should drill down into your niche and build a keyword list based on high search volume and ideally low advertiser competition.

Once you’ve loaded your keywords into your Pay Per Click campaign, Google will give each keyword phrase a quality score. Google determines this score based on how relevant they see your offer, in relation to your keywords. Your goal is to get the highest possible score for your keyword phrases. If your quality score is higher, then you have more chance of Google giving you cheaper traffic and better ad placement
