You can grab your client's attention by entering into the conversation going on inside her head. Google can help you to accomplish this and get higher clicks as well, by skillful use of keywords in your ads. One of the premier rules of AdWords management is; capture the attention of more people by bidding on more keywords.
The thing that helps you give your clients satisfaction is showing them that you know what they are thinking. Showing them that you know just what kind of day they had today. That is just what it is to join the conversation that is going on inside your client's head. When you seamlessly enter and communicate using the same words he uses and about the same topics that are important to him, that is when he will listen to you.
From the conversations in their minds, people draw the keywords that are typed in for search. When your ad says just what they are thinking, then you will grab their interest. Therefore when you have your keywords showcased in the headline, body and URL of your ad you are practicing sound advertising strategies.
If you have keywords showing up more places in your ads, you have a bigger chance of getting more clicks. Look for it in your headline. Look for it in the body of the ad and you should look for it in the display URL. Say someone is searching for "German" or "Learn German", how many times are they going to find their keywords in this ad:
Want to Learn German?
5 Crucial Principles You Must Know To Master German, and Fast

If managing AdWords effectively means addressing, in a direct way, and with exactness what they are searching for and reflecting that back to them, how can you find out what they are searching for? Where can you find lists of the good and lucrative keywords?
The quickest place to start is with Overture's Keyword Selector Tool, available for free at http://inventory.overture.com. It gives you an immediate sense of how valuable each of your keywords will be relative to the others.
458,579 learn german
103,157 german shepherd
85,210 german
22,970 german dictionary
16,990 german english dictionary
16,294 german translation
15,992 german shepherd dog
14,409 german translator
13,037 german shepherd puppy
11,646 english german dictionary
10,187 german to english
9,810 german to english translation
9,800 german short hair pointer
The List above clearly shows where you will find the money and the traffic. Also clear are the keywords that don't belong on your list.
Without it costing you a penny you now have a clear list of the negative keywords for your list. Negative keywords are keywords you specify that you do not want you ad to show on when people use them in a search. You put them into your keyword list with a negative in front. Like this:
-dog
-puppy
-shepherd
-pointer
-dictionary
-translator
-translation
-hair
-etc.
Anytime someone has this word in a search, your ad won't show up.
If you want to know what the keywords will probably cost you to advertise on them head over to Yahoo Resource Center at www.overture.com, and select the "BidsTool". Enter your keyword in the search box and you will receive from Overture a list of the prices advertisers pay to sell their products on Yahoo sites. The prices for "learn German" range from 47 cents to a nickel.
Of course, this is Overture, not Google. At the time of this writing, positions on Yahoo's search pages are determined by bids and bids only, whereas on Google you get preferential treatment for having an especially good click-through rate, and the competition, and the nature of the traffic, are different.
Not to worry though. This tool is only an initial indicator of what kind of business advertisers are getting from their clicks on Yahoo. This example says advertisers wouldn't pay more than forty-seven cents for a click for "learn German". This is an indicator. Contrast that with "home mortgage" where bids top off at $4 and you can see how lucrative, or not, "learn German" is.
Adwords Keyword Selector Tool
Yeah! I know that you want to know if Keyword Elite is better than the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, and I will answer that question later on in this article.The question that I think needs answering now is why should you use keyword research tools?
Choosing the right keywords for your website is important. You like thousands of other webmasters may think that you already know which are the best keywords for your site to be ranked for.But what you have to realize is that the most obvious keywords are not usually the best keywords for search engine optimization(SEO).
By using keyword research tools such as Keyword Elite or the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, you will be able to pick the keywords that attract targeted visitors who are more likely to buy from you instead of randomly choosing popular keywords that get plenty of searches but no buyers.
I'm not going to go in to an in depth analysis about any of the keyword tools that I mention in this article because you can find this out for yourself by simply visiting the website in question.Instead I will just give you a brief over view of each one so that you will be better informed about which keyword tool is right for you.
Google Adwords Keyword Tool Explained
Just in case you didn't know, Google is the most popular and along side Yahoo the biggest search engine online.Google controls at the time of you reading this about 63% of search engine traffic in the USA and 55% across the globe.
A commonmistake that people make is thinking that the Google Keyword Tool is only useful if you have an Adwords account.I can safely say that this is not true, even though I do have a Adwords Account.
The Google Keyword Tool is free to use and it gives you monthly statistical information on your preferred keywords in easy to read
colums.
You will be able to find out the number of times a keyword has been searched for in any given month, and in what month had the same keyword been searched for the most.
From a personal point of view my favourite bit of statistical information that I always pay special attention to when using the Google Keyword Tool is, how much competition have I got for my chosen keywords and how much each keyword will cost me.
Keyword Elite Explained
Let me just state that Keyword Elite is more that just a straight-forward A to B Keyword Tool. It is a multi-functional and powerful piece of software specially designed so that you can get the maximum benefit from your chosen keywords.
I want to stress again that it is a software application (which means that you have to download it.) and not a web based application like the Google Keyword Tool.
As you may have already guessed Keyword Elite is not free, and can cost depending on where you purchase it anything from $85 to $176. I must warn you at this point that as somebody who has purchased Keyword Elite, beware of websites that are selling it below the recommended price.
My reason for saying this is because this software is constantly up-dated and all up dates are free at this moment in time providing that you purchase Keyword Elite from the official website.
NicheBOT Keyword Tool Explained,
As an after thought I've decided to throw just one more keyword tool in to the mix before wrapping up this article. NicheBot is another web based keyword research tool.It is a expansion on the Google Adwords Keyword Tool in the sense that it is a multifunctional tool similar to Keyword Elite.
Another feature that NicheBOT shares with Keyword Elite is the ability to get keywords from a number of different data bases including Google's.
You can also get foreign keywords from up to 243 countries and keyword translations in 23 languages, NicheBOT offers 3 different price packages at this moment in time ranging from $17.50 to $108.a month but there is also a 2 week trail on offer for a $1 on all price packages
Conclusion
Depending on how serious you are about doing keyword research, I would say that in most cases you will be fine using only the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. I purchased Keyword Elite because it dove tails nicely with Google Adwords.
I have a Adwords Account so this purchase made sense to me. If you on the other hand, have no intention of ever opening a Adwords Account or building websites with the purpose of making money then there is no need for you to invest in more advanced keyword tools.
