11 Tips To Improve Your Google AdWords Campaign
You’ve finally taken the plunge to improve your online marketing efforts and set-up your very first Pay per Click campaign with Google AdWords.
You marvel at how easy it was to create your first Ad Group and appreciated the way Google suggested some keywords you might like to add. You worked through your reservations over some of the keywords as you figured that those clever people at Google knew far more about your business than you. Finally, you couldn’t quite believe how easy Google made it to add your credit card details…
Roll forward two months and whilst you appreciate that the level of web site enquiries have improved, you just wish that some of them were connected to your business! You start to question your own ability to sell online and figure that Pay per Click is just too complicated and best left to others. It doesn’t have to be that way. Google AdWords can work for you.

Quality Score was introduced for Google AdWords to help Google decide which position an advertisers ad should be displayed and subsequently how much should be charged for each click on the ad.
Google assigns each keyword within an AdWords campaign with a score between 1 – 10 (1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest).

With the launch of Bing, many website owners have discovered that the description of their site is not all it should be.
Whilst, as most site owners understand, the description on Google is taken from the Meta Description tag, Bing has taken the decision to extract the information from their listing in the Open Directory (DMOZ).

E-Privacy Directive on Cookies
As many of you will have heard, in just a few weeks (25th May) the giant nanny state of Europe is to cough forth a law on the use of cookies, one of 3,000 laws generated each year by the EU. If you use Pay Per Click advertising or if you use Google Analytics you will fall under the jurisdiction of this new law, in fact nearly all European websites will be effected. In fact anyone who advertises in Europe will be affected by them.
So what is it?
Well the new directive stipulates that explicit consent must be gained from every site visitor in order to install cookies on the visitor’s computer. That is being interpreted by most people as requiring some sort of pop up style consent form that asks visitors if they agree to allow specific cookies to be installed.
