Why Google AdWords?
1. It helps an advertiser to reach people who are likely interested in what you’re advertising online.
2. There is no minimum amount one must spend on an AdWords campaign.

1. Advertisers identify keywords or audiences they want to bid on, and decide the maximum cost-per-click (CPC) they are willing to spend
2. They key in bids and enter into an auction with other advertisers who are bidding on the same keywords or audiences
3. The highest bid wins the auction. Depending on the type of inventory, the winner of the auction may appear in the top position, or have its ad displayed in an ad unit.
4. Google AdWords calculates a quality score to prevent a bidding war based solely on price.

Optimising for Profitability
Higher ad positions and more clicks do not mean more profits all the time
As long as your profits exceed your ad spend, you do not have to worry about limiting your budget
Focus is on cost efficiencies and results such as CPA, conversions, and customer life-time value (CLV)

A common way to start is to build out your campaigns according to your website structure.
Note that you can only set a daily budget at the Campaign level so if you’re grouping highly competitive keywords (high bid price) with keywords that are not competitive, you may run out of budget quickly and lose out on the keywords with low competition.

Creating your first AdWords Search advertising campaign
Fill in your ad group details Choose an ad type to create. Text ads are standard ads you see on the search engine results page.Dynamic search ads are popular among big e-tailers like Qoo10. Google will automatically crawl content (including keywords!) from your website and send them to the corresponding page.Mobile app engagement ads help to drive users back to apps they’ve already installed by showing “Installed” and upon clicking launches the app. Call-only ads initiates a phone call upon clicking, this differs from the usual behaviour of sending searchers to a website.

What are keyword match types?
Keyword match types help control which searches can trigger your ad. For example, you could use broad match to show your ad to a wide audience or you could use exact match to hone in on specific groups of customers.
What are close variations?
AdWords will automatically include misspellings, abbreviations, or with additional words before or after that don’t alter the intent of the search
Important note: Choosing the wrong match types can result reaching the wrong audience and wastage of clicks.Negative MINI Cooper

Choose how to target your ads:
Display Keywords matches based on keywords that you bid on, and the keywords that appear within the site’s contents.
Interests & Remarketing audiences are built with cookies. When users visit sites in the Google Display Network, cookies record the sites where the user has been on to help form a profile of the user. . Use a different targeting method such as Topics targeting where you select sites based on their topical categories. Note: It is not important to settle on any single targeting method at this point - they are changeable at any point and can be layered atop one another. Recommended: Leave “Targeting Optimisation” unchecked at this point - machine based learning takes time!

Creating your first AdWords Display advertising campaign
Choose an ad type to create. Image ads are by far the most common ad format. AdWords no longer accept and serve Flash creatives. HTML5, JPG, GIF and popular image formats allowed. (Ad Specs here: https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/176108?hl=en) Tip: 300x250 and 728x90 ads are two of the most widely accepted and effective ad sizes. Responsive ads are new ads that can adapt to the layout of the website. This is part of Google’s push into the Native Ads world.Native ads are disguised advertisements that match the form and function of the platform.

Conversion Tracking with Google AdWords
A conversion is simply any action or user interaction that you deem to be of value to you.
1. Within Google AdWords, navigate to Tools > Conversions.
2. Click “+ Conversion” to create a new conversion.
Only put the Conversion Tracking Code on pages that you want to count as a conversion, most commonly the “Thank You” pages after a successful sale or lead form submission. Failing to do so will cause inaccuracies in tracking conversions.
