Tips to know best adwords keywords of competitors?
-
I am about to run adwords campaign. I have questions-
-
I want to know best adwords keywords that competitors are targetting. Is there any good way to find out the best keywords that competitors use which generate large amount of traffic to them?
-
Can someone guide me how to use adwords in best possible way such as how to pay less and yet receive large number of targeted traffic? Tips are welcome from the community.
I am about to start a campaign for this website which deals with Independent Sales Reps. So the adwords keywords will be related to Independent sales representatives who help in establishing new businesses and exporters.

Check out SpyFu. It is bar none the best search ad research tool I use. Beyond that though, performing your own searches, actually going to your competitor's landing pages, and so on can give you a wealth of knowledge about the user experience that tools will not give you.
As far as learning goes, Advanced Google AdWords (which was already mentioned) and the old, but still relevant, Search Engine Marketing would be where I would start.

1. If you use the Google keyword tool, you can search the competitors website, it will supply a list of keywords it thinks is relevant to their website - It's not the keywords they are bidding on but might unlock some potential terms.
Apart from that you could grab some data from something called 'Hitwise' which uses ISP data.
2. Here is the idea - In order to bring your CPC down you need a high quality score, you gain a high quality score through landing page and ad relevance to the keyword combined with a high CTR.
You bid high to start off to gain high positions which gives you a good CTR, this increases quality score and drops your CPC.
Hope that helps a little.

how about searching for terms you think a visitor would find relevant
Doing this alone is great advice.
The best way to assure mediocre performance is to copy a competitor.

It isn't very easy finding out the best performing keywords of a competitor, but how about searching for terms you think a visitor would find relevant, and seeing if your competitions shows up for it? Then search for variations on that.
When you create your own campaign, make sure you do phrase matching or exact matching, that's the only way to know how well a certain keywords performs, I've seen google send clicks for completely irrelevant searches for broad match which their algorithms thought was relevant.

What you are asking for (especially #2) requires a lot of time, study and research to accomplish.
So, I recommend that you begin with self-study by getting a copy or "Advanced Google Adwords" by Brad Geddes and reading it carefully twice and practicing the topics as you read.

It is really hard to make money in some niches with adwords - especially for common retail items. To win you must have access to inventory and shipping at very low costs. If you don't have that you will be eaten alive.

Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(
So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Why does this keyword have much greater volume in Bing Keyword Research Tool than Google AdWords Keyword Planner?
I'm using the Google AdWords keyword planner and Bing Webmaster Keyword Research tool. For both, I'm trying to get accurate search volume for the exact term "advertising sales". Over the last thirty days, Bing reports a volume of 5,988. Google's average monthly search volume is 880. Given the market share Google has, I would expect a much higher volume, especially when compared to Bing. Can you offer some ideas of why this might be happening?

Moz Keyword Competition Analysis Tool
Hi Just been having a play around with the Moz Keyword Competition Tool and noticed that the reuslts given in terms of exact match searches is different from the data in the actual Google Adwords keyword tool even though the Moz tool pulls its data form the Google Adwords index so technically should be the same right? Was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that or if I am missing something. All you help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

How Can I Rank My One Keyword ?
I read many places about never use the same keywords/anchor text this will consider as spam by google, so i want to know if suppose my main keyword is Indian bridal sarees than how can i give rank to that keyword, should i use the same exact keyword but in different format like bridal indian sarees or indian bridal sarees shopping something like that. Should i use LSI keywords in that keywords. Please help Second, I also read some people saying they use 70% primary keywords and 30% LSI or generic words, so that mean if i have 10 articles so in 7 articles i have to give primary keyword and the rest of the 3 will be generic. Kindly please advice this also.

Keyword Ranking
Soooooo, let's just say that I put a lot of keywords into the ranking tracker. Is there an easy way to reduce this list without having to go in word by word and pause or delete them? Like is there a bulk upload type of system? Thanks!

Reasonable price for Keyword Research
If I knew what to look for I would do it myself. But I want it done now. The words would relate to one broad category with possible gold that can be mined from 12 sub-categories categories. In my preliminary seat of the pants research I didn't find much in the sub-categories but there were around 10 key words in the broad categories. I am getting a lot of long tail words ranked but I don't believe there is hardly any traffic. Does anyone know what a reasonable estimate is for this degree of keyword research? Also if anyone would like to submit a bid for this work please personal email me. Utah Tiger.
