You wonder why other affiliates are making millions of dollars with Google AdWords but you can\'t. Is it really so hard to make money with Google AdWords?

Most of affiliates who use AdWords to promote their affiliate products and hope to make money from their advertising efforts will lose money eventually. The key reason of their failure is they do not know how to effectively use this extremely competitive advertising platform to generate positive ROI. There are too many internet surfers looking for information, but most of them might not be the potential buyers. So, it is important to get rid of these tire clickers and ensure that your AdWords ads are only clicked by the potential buyers.

Nowadays, keywords are very competitive in AdWords PPC. It\'s hard to find the most relevant and effective keywords without a good tool. Hence, make sure you have a keywords tool available to help you choose a great set of keywords to be used in your AdWords campaigns. You also need to learn how to write an effective campaign that will woo your potential customers while filter out most of freebie seekers so that you can increase your traffic-to-sales conversion rate. One of common mistake made by most of advertisers is they are too concern about click-through-rate (CTR), they tried their very hard to achieve high CTR but they forget or miss out one big issue: the click will be worthless and make you lose money if the click does not convert into sale. If you have high CTR on your ad meaning that you need to spend more, unless you can convert enough traffic to sales so that you can generate positive ROI.

There are several strategies to minimize the non-buyer clicks:

First, take a look at your keyword. Normally, those potential buyers will look for more specific information and they tend to type in more specific keywords when they use the search engine to find information. Hence, don\'t use keywords which are too general, the broader the keyword, the greater the chance of non-buyers click on your AdWords ads and cost you money without the conversion. For example, if you are selling mobile phone, don\'t choose the keyword \"phone\" which might attract clickers who look for free phone content update; instead use more specific keyword such as \"Nokia 5300 Phone\", the conversion rate will be 10 times higher compared to previous one.

Second, add the negative keywords on your campaign to avoid your ads from appear if any of negative keyword being searched. One of the common negative keyword is \"Free\". You do not want people who are looking for free information to click on your ads.

Third, add the price at the ads header or body so that people know they need to buy it if they are interested with the information promoted at your AdWords campaigns, e.g. \'Get your ebook now at $47\'. This method will minimize the non-buyer clickers who are not willing to pay for it.
