			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s how I set up my Google Adwords campaign for Double Your Dating.</p>
<ol>
<li>Typed in &#8216;double your dating&#8217; into<a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal"> Google&#8217;s free keyword tool<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-74" title="googlekeywordtool" src="http://talkmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/04/picture-5-300x161.png" alt="googlekeywordtool" width="300" height="161" /></a></li>
<li>Selected keywords that matched what I think customers might be looking for: such as &#8216;double your dating ebook&#8217; and &#8216;buy double your dating&#8217;</li>
<li>After going through the &#8216;broad&#8217; keywords I changed the match type to &#8216;phrase.<br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-69 alignnone" title="broadphrase" src="http://talkmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/04/picture-6.png" alt="broadphrase" width="105" height="110" /></li>
<li>I added the best &#8216;phrase&#8217; keywords to my list.</li>
<li>Then did the same for &#8216;exact&#8217;</li>
<li>Then I added the &#8216;negatives&#8217; I wanted &#8211; the keywords that I don&#8217;t want my add to show for. For example, if someone types &#8216;double your dating free&#8217; my ad wont show.</li>
<li>After getting the &#8216;double your dating&#8217; keywords I went through and got the author&#8217;s name, David Deangelo, keywords because people were searching his name as well. I repeated steps 2-6.</li>
<li>I exported the keywords to a spreadsheet, then divided the keywords into 3 groups. Group 1 contained the keywords &#8216;double your dating.&#8217; Group 2 contained keywords with &#8216;david deangelo&#8217; in them and Group 3 contained keywords with &#8216;review&#8217; in them.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-70" title="keywordspreadsheet" src="http://talkmuse.com/wp-content/uploads/04/picture-7-300x261.png" alt="keywordspreadsheet" width="300" height="261" /></li>
<li>I went to Google Adwords and set up a campaign for Double Your Dating.</li>
<li>I wrote 2 ads for each group and set their respective Cost Per Click (CPC) limit. Here are the ads:<br />

<li>I&#8217;m using <a href="http://talkmuse.com/adwords">The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords</a> as my guide.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ll keep you updated on the results.</li>

<p>Google Adwords is going to the primary way that I drive traffic to my test sites. It&#8217;s fast and &#8216;easy&#8217; if you know what you&#8217;re doing. But of course, that&#8217;s the hard part.</p>
<p>I set up a campaign with Google Adwords for MuscleMeditate.com, got 30 clicks, and spent $5.89 before I realized I wasn&#8217;t going about it right. The keywords I was targeting weren&#8217;t right so clicks I got weren&#8217;t targeted correctly.</p>
<p>So, I looked around and found the best Adwords book on the market &#8211; <a href="http://talkmuse.com/adwords">The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords</a> by Perry Marshall. From what I&#8217;ve read it really is the definitive guide.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been pouring over the book in the last few days and I&#8217;ll soon be setting up another campaign using all the strategies I&#8217;ve learned. As of now, I&#8217;m considering this required reading for anyone who&#8217;s trying to start their muse.</p>
<p><strong>Marshall goes in depth on:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How to bid correctly on keywords</li>
<li>How to split test your ads</li>
<li>What keywords to target for your ads</li>
<li>How to test your sales page and opt-in page</li>
<li>How to test product titles</li>
<li>How to make your clicks worth more</li>
<li>and on and on&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>Every question I&#8217;ve had about Google Adwords has been answered here. The real &#8217;secret&#8217; to Google Adwords is testing and more testing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll run you through a Google Adwords campaign very soon and show you what I&#8217;ve learned with Marshall&#8217;s book.</p>
<p>For now, your homework is to go sign up for this <a href="http://talkmuse.com/adwords">5 day free E-course</a> on Google Adwords to familiarize yourself with Adwords a little bit.</p>
