Case Study: Google Adwords Campaign

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Here’s how I set up my Google Adwords campaign for Double Your Dating.

  1. Typed in ‘double your dating’ into Google’s free keyword tool
    googlekeywordtool
  2. Selected keywords that matched what I think customers might be looking for: such as ‘double your dating ebook’ and ‘buy double your dating’
  3. After going through the ‘broad’ keywords I changed the match type to ‘phrase.
    broadphrase
  4. I added the best ‘phrase’ keywords to my list.
  5. Then did the same for ‘exact’
  6. Then I added the ‘negatives’ I wanted – the keywords that I don’t want my add to show for. For example, if someone types ‘double your dating free’ my ad wont show.
  7. After getting the ‘double your dating’ keywords I went through and got the author’s name, David Deangelo, keywords because people were searching his name as well. I repeated steps 2-6.
  8. I exported the keywords to a spreadsheet, then divided the keywords into 3 groups. Group 1 contained the keywords ‘double your dating.’ Group 2 contained keywords with ‘david deangelo’ in them and Group 3 contained keywords with ‘review’ in them.

  9. I went to Google Adwords and set up a campaign for Double Your Dating.
  10. I wrote 2 ads for each group and set their respective Cost Per Click (CPC) limit. Here are the ads:

  11. I’m using The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords as my guide.
  12. I’ll keep you updated on the results.

    Mind sharing how much you were willing to bid on these keywords?

  2. Derek  on April 9th, 2009

    Darryl – right now my avg. cost per click is around .45 cents.

    For ‘review’ keywords I bid max .60. For ‘David Deangelo’ I bid max .65. For ‘Double Your Dating’ I bid max .50.

    I’ll be posting an update on the campaign soon.
