Adwords is a phenomenal way to get laser-targeted traffic to your site quickly, but it does have a steep learning curve...

...And that's pretty daunting when it's your own time and money on the line!

So, here's some quick advice from a seasoned veteran of the Adwords marketing game, and an easy way to increase your ROI on Adwords:

A crucial element of Adwords account is how well you have your Adgroups organized.

Don't fall prey to the "rookie" mistake of only creating one or two adgroups per campaign and then stuffing them with hundreds, or thousands, of keywords.

Don't do this, it's begging for trouble!

Trouble in that this is like giving Google permission to "gouge" you, and you'll end up paying way more per click, suffer from lower CTR's due to poor relevance of your ads, and most likely be nailed with poor quality scores.

Always remember this, "relevance" is king!

And since it's impossible to write ads that are targeted, specific and "relevant" for hundreds of different keywords all in the same adgroup, you need to "break out" keywords into their own adgroups.

For high-traffic keywords, this could mean one keyword (with the three different match types, broad, phrase and exact) per adgroup, and that's it!

Even for low-traffic keywords "long tail" keywords, have no more than 15-21 keywords per adgroup.

After you spend some time "breaking out" the keywords into fresh adgroups, notice how much easier it is to write extremely focused ads, including the keyword as much as possible in the ads.

Your CTRs will instantly raise across the board, along with lowering your per click cost!
