• Her email is Tanya Ferrell [email protected]
• If you can’t meet with her before class, certainly drop her your resume and introduce yourself after her talk
Other Speakers
• Decided to add some more speakers to our roster
• Although takes up some class time, with so many folks looking for jobs and internships it seems to be a good use of time in the long run
• Looking at Pepperjam, GSI, and Razorfish (plus, the author of AdWords for Dummies)
• Okay, to the content …
We are bringing it all together!
By design and necessity, we’ve been covering one or two links of the keyword advertising chain at a time
Now, we should see how everything links together to form the whole chain (i.e., keyword advertising process)!

Status of Your Campaign and Account• We have covered a lot of keyword advertising stuff in
a short amount of time … of course it is screwed up!• Although it is probably a mess, it is probably not as
bad as you think• Consider what you have now your prototype. Rapid
prototyping is a great development and building technique!
• Now, we work on version 02! • Building version 02 may mean scrapping everything
and starting over, making some minor tweaks, or anything in between.
Think of this as Product or Service lines.
Think of this as your company.
Think of this as individual Products or Services.
If your client has a good Website, you can model your campaigns off the major sections of the
Website. Budget stuff happens here!
Link each Ad group to a specific Webpage on your client’s Website. Keyword selection, ads,
and a lot of critical metrics happen here!
The Account Structure should reflect your marketing strategy! (the details should support this strategy!)
• Obviously, we need some work to get our accounts squared away!
Using Tools to Help!
• However, we can use some tools to help us get our act together!
• Some in Google AdWords, … some in Google AdWords editor, … and some third party apps
• Let’s leverage what is Google AdWords first
• Note: going to rapid fire through these, then you can experiment with

Effective Use of Tools for Keyword Management
1. Select two of the keyword management tools presented today (or ones that you already use). Experiment with the features of each.
2. Once you have settled on one that you like, use it to develop a refined keyword list for the Ad groups within your campaign (do at least one in class today).
3. List positives and negatives (best you write them down) of the tools
4. Discuss findings as a team. (Team leader, note lessons learned for real campaign. How are you going to leverage these tools for your advertising effort?)
Take 20 minutes!
Thank you!(reminder to do your daily logs)
