Is Your Keyword Research Methodology Up To Scratch? — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:01:56 +0000

[...] Start big then narrow your list – when compiling keyword research I like to create a huge shortlist then narrow it down to a select few based on traffic, competition and relevance to the business. If you’re not prepared to create a huge list initially there’s a chance you’ll miss the golden goose… [...]

@ Kathleen An image search for Google Doodles Olympics 2008 gets a few back, but most of them are from Athenes and Sydney Games…

Try these:

@Craig: are you sure you have all the keywords (Beijing & 2008 & Olympic & Games) in the copy of your landing page? Because I started at £0.25 using the URL of this blog only… But the impressions go up so fast that if you’re not over the 2% threshold that gives you good QS, you risk getting a high minimum CPC… Which is why you need to be relevant!

@Merrill: Beijing alone as a broad match is too short a keyword to trigger ads for the search query. I would recommend using the Exact Match on these terms so you can optimise for a good CTR (and therefore high QS, and low minimum bid).

I wonder why advertisers with “Beijing” in broad match don’t appear for this query.
