their ads is clicked - buying visits to your site rather than attracting
organic reach.
3. The actual formula for cost per click in AdWords is:
So, CPC will always be less than or equal to your
maximum bid, as it is an average of bids against a

each action, will be determined by how much you are paying for
clicks, and by what kind of quality you are getting for that
investment.

clicks that are both inexpensive and valuable.

framework,
making it easier
to determine
which of your
ads, campaigns,
and keywords are
working, and
which aren’t, so
you can alter or
add campaigns
as necessary.
Ad groups let you segment your campaigns into multiple parts
to achieve even greater focus and simplicity. Just like
campaigns, each ad group should have one common theme

Step 3: Designate display and destination URLs.
10. How to get low CPC and
high value
1. Raise Your Quality Score - Google gives
discounts to well-managed PPC campaigns with
high Quality Scores = 6 or higher (the average
score today is 5) are granted a 16-50% decrease in
CPC, whereas accounts with a 4 or lower Quality
Score see a 25-400% increase in CPC!
Since low CPC = PPC success because it
ultimately translates into your cost per
conversion.
11. Boost your chances of getting discount :
• Increase click-through rates (CTR) by creating
compelling, relevant ads.
• Build out closely related ad groups.
• Optimize ad text and landing pages that speak to
individual search intent.
12. 2. Expand Your Reach:
• discovering new, relevant and valuable clicks,
the distribution of your budget will be improved -
find new PPC keywords and search advertising
opportunities
• simultaneously
eliminate irrelevant
or overpriced clicks
from your
campaigns.
13. 3. Refine Your Reach:
Continually designating negative keywords - control your average
CPC by filtering out traffic from searchers that are highly unlikely
to convert
When you target only keywords that perform well:
Your spend is protected - Negative keywords tell your PPC
campaigns which terms not to target, therefore reserving your
budget for relevant terms only.
Your Quality Score improves - If your keywords are clearly
related to your ad text, landing pages, and offering, your click-
through rate and other Quality Score factors will be positively
affected.
14. Keyword Match
MATCH TYPE.
-(+) = term have to be there in search= broader reach =
broad modifier.
-(“)= phrase match= exact phrase b4 n after can be
anything.
-([ ])= exact match
