Google Adwords is a fantastic tool. Which can have your business positioned in front of hundreds if not thousands of potential clients everyday. However where do you begin. This information will help you get through the initial door of setting up your Google AdWords Starter edition.

To get started you will need to gear up to provide some personal, professional and business information. (a) Your name or that of your company. (b) Google requires a website, you will have to direct traffic with a display and destination URL. (c) An email account is required; attempt not to use a 'free internet' service provider such as MSN or Yahoo. (d) Your tax identification number - take heed this item cannot be changed please double check to ensure the area is completed correctly. (e) A credit card is required - it is $5 to set up an account.

You are also going to have to get ready to do a little copywriting. Google Adwords will not let you finish the setup unless you have some sample text to put in to your advertisement. Think about your services and product offering. KeywordSpy is a tool which can be utilized to help out here. Do not copy the ads of your competitor; your goal is to be better and different. Do not get too hung up in this area, this is just to set up the account. You will have the opportunity to change the ad information before you launch the campaign.

Your Ad will be structured as follows: A headline - total English characters is 25 this includes spaces. Your first line of text - this should be a benefit statement. Total English characters which can be used are 35 with spaces. Your second line of text - this should be a call to action statement. Total English characters which can be used are 35 with spaces. Your display URL - this is your domain name. Total English characters 35

There are 4 types Exact, Phase, Broad and Negative. Broad match: keyword allows your ad to show on similar phrases and relevant variations. Phrase match: "keyword" allows your ad to show for searches that match the exact phrase. Exact match: [keyword], allows your ad to show for searches that match the exact phrase exclusively. Negative match: -keyword which ensures your ad doesn't show for any search that includes that term. You can research the exact use of these on Google, as each can help your campaign in unique ways. You will need to choose your currency. PLEASE NOTE: Once you have chosen this setting it is not possible to change it, so think about which currency you want to use. You can set up other campaigns for other currencies later. Choose your budget. The amount you set for your budget is the maximum amount you will be charged in any given month.

Set a good budget. Do not set up your daily budget to be $5 per day and then bid your keywords at $2 per click. This will have your account shut down. Before setting a budget you can use a FREE tool from Google, simply type Google Keyword Tool in the Google Search query area and click on the one that says external keyword tool. This can help with keyword research and can provide an estimated cost per click analysis.

Take care to add your contact details. Don't worry, you're not going to receive any spam or constant Google emails, but it is important to receive alerts when your ads aren't showing. Set Up Account and pick your login email and create your account to get started! If you already use Google services, you can use your existing login. You're done now the funds (hopefully) come in. You will now receive a confirmation email from Google and instructions on how to activate your account.
