Online Advertising 101: Start with Effective Keyword Research
Many aspects of online advertising, specifically with PPC search marketing and SEO, begin with keyword research—the discovery and analysis of words and phrases that searchers use when conducting a search (via search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, MSN and others) for a particular service or product.
Online advertising success requires you to bid on keywords that are relevant to your business. While this practice may seem obvious, you may be surprised how often beginning online advertisers get it wrong when it comes to keyword research (deciding which keywords to bid on) and search advertising. Effective online advertising requires more than brainstorming and instinct—instead, your decisions must be backed by real-world data and analytics.
So where can you find helpful online advertising data? There are a number of keyword suggestion tools available to online advertisers, although some databases are more comprehensive than others. WordStream's Google AdWords keyword tool has over a trillion-keyword database, maximizing the number of keywords you can discover and add to your campaigns for online advertising.
