You finished it! Your product is on the market. You have your AdWords campaign up and running, by-the-book, Extensive list of keywords, primo advertisements, a killer website.everything.

Then why is my cash outlay still higher than my income?

There are various reasons for a failed Adwords campaign, but the most prevalent cause for a properly setup campaign to fail is the lack of proper keywords choices.

The proper choice of keywords is the foundation of your entire strategy here. If your keywords do not reach your proper target audience you are going to find yourself either without visitors to your website or paying hundreds of dollars in wasted advertising fees because the individuals who come to your site are looking for something else entirely.

To start with use the tracking features that are available with your Adwords campaign. Check to see which of your ads are getting the profitable clicks and which ones aren't. An ad that isn't bringing any profits needs to be either scrapped or reformatted.

Take note of the keywords you used in creating these ads; these are probably not very successful ones for your product at this time (although you should not discard them completely just yet; you never know when the tides of the market are going to turn and these words are going to be your best hope).

After having taken care of the keywords, look to your ads and find the ones that are least productive. The ones that are not generating sales. It is damaging for you to have a ad campaign going that doesn't get anything better than idle viewers. It will only deplete your budget giving you nothing in return.

Consider carefully the keywords which are being used for these false leads as compared to those used in the advertisements which are bringing in a profit; while it may simply be that the phrasing of the advertisement was what made all of the difference there is always the chance that a keyword is simply not doing its job and needs to be discarded and replaced.

To protect yourself and your advertising budget from wasting away on unsuccessful campaigns, monitor your Adwords campaigns and take the time to carry out the tasks weekly or bi-weekly.

When you carefully monitor your AdWords campaign and tend to problems as they crop up you can keep your advertising monies working productively.
