Internet Marketing and Making Money With Google AdWords

Internet marketing with Google AdWords is a lot like fishing. So is marketing in general, but Internet marketing especially, where Internet search traffic is like a torrential flowing river of traffic, big and wide. Internet marketing with AdWords amounts to dropping a fishing line into the Internet River of search traffic.

The current of the Internet River consists largely of search engine traffic, and the content or nature of the river's current is defined by keywords. Countless keyword phrases identify their own particular part of the current, and some parts of the current are much larger than other parts, of course, depending on how many people are searching for those particular keywords.

The Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines account for the vast bulk of the river's current of Internet search traffic.

Running a Google AdWords ad campaign is like dropping a fishing lure into the river of traffic. The keywords associated with the ad make up the lure itself. The text of the ad is like the decoration of the lure - some look attractive, some don't, to the prospective fishes swimming in the current of that keyword. The fishes decide in a split second whether to bite at the lure and click it.

The web site "landing page" to which ad leads is like the taste of the lure - some taste good, some don't, to the prospective fishes swimming in the current of that keyword. If the lure's landing page is tasty enough and the fish is hungry enough, then the fish swallows the lure and whips out a credit card or pays with PayPal. The fish is hooked. Otherwise the fish spits out the lure and moves on, or maybe saves the lure to check it out later.

Some keyword currents in the river are teeming with fish, and so they draw the attention of a lot of anglers all trying to drop their lures in that part of the river. Some keywords become so competitive that you can't even get your lure down into the water, without shelling out a lot of cash to make room for your lure.

Of course, there are many tricks to the trade, regarding how to get your AdWords lures into the water at minimum cost, how to make your AdWords lures more attractive, how to get them in front of the maximum number of prospective fishes, and how to make the lures' landing pages more tasty.
