Java, [google.com...] a great little presentation which should be read by everyone, also maybe worthwhile finding out from your local Google office, when they are next holding the Google "adwords" University. Shak [edited by: Shak at 6:55 pm (utc) on June 25, 2003]

- Study your referrals (the queries that are invoking your ads) and use negative keywords intelligently - Experiment with positions 1 through 6 (assuming you are bidding on competative keywords) to learn about the relative CTR for your industry - Measure everything; a good AdWords campaign is about ROI (return on investment), not just CTR (click through rate) - Start selling in your AdWords copy to pre-qualify referrals and improve ROI (but don't go mad because remember that your CTR also determines your positioning) - Continue selling on the landing page - do not expect the visitor to click on anything else - they won't. Good luck!

>> Study your referrals (the queries that are invoking your ads) and use negative keywords intelligently << Hi Java, as dmorison said, it is about ROI. For finetuning my adwords I use a little php-script on my landing page and once per week (depending on traffic) I extract all the search phrases from the tracking file. Those that come up with my chosen keywords, but are not related to what I offer, are used as negative keywords. Since my links from the landing page to deep content are also in php I can also track if the user went further into the site. You can see my little script here [webmasterworld.com]

Yes, nice link. Install Google toolbar version 2 and Google blocks it's own pop-up!
