How Many People Are Searching For This Product?

By: Kirt Christensen

There's nothing more frustrating than building a web site and waiting for people to just "show up." It's worse than watching paint dry. That's why PPC management is one of the most important parts of the online world.



In just a few minutes you can produce an ad campaign with Google that will send people to your site. Like lightening you can make new thing and create modification on Google.



But speed can also be a trap. Sometimes people do rash things when they're in a hurry.



It's really easy to blow money on PPC management-you can pick a keyword, write an ad, and get a bunch of visitors who cost you money but have no chance of ever wanting to buy something from you. The following question will help make sure you don't buy the wrong kind of traffic for your web site. Ask this:



How Many People Are Searching For This Product?



Finding the answer to this question will help you understand what you should expect in the way of traffic and new customers that Google can send to you, and avoid disappointments. Even if you don't get everything you are hoping for in terms of traffic, you will probably discover some traffic sources that are not as high-profile but equally profitable.



Using Overtures search term suggestion tool http://inventory.overture.com (or http://inven tory.uk.overture.com for the UK), you can estimate what your traffic could be in just a few moments. All you need to do is put in some of your main keywords and then you will see just how many searches were done last month on their servers.



What if you had a company that was marketing anti-aging skin care products. You are just getting started and would like to get more traffic by using Google. How do you get started?



To start with, get a starting list of potential keywords. Here is what we brainstormed:



skin



beauty



acne



cosmetics



makeup



cosmetic surgery



dermatology



anti-aging



wrinkles



oils



moisturizers



And this is nowhere near complete. But if we run over to Overture's keyword selector tool and enter these terms to see how many searches they get in a month, here's what we find out:



skin 7,290



beauty 5,006



acne 1,872



cosmetics 1,862



makeup 1,796



cosmetic surgery 1,736



dermatology 622



anti-aging 503



wrinkles 485



oils 390



moisturizers 120



Note what is happening:



See that 'skin' got more than 60 times the searches that the last term, 'moisturizers' got. 'Skin' will be an MVP for you.



When you run your Overture inventory search on any one of these keywords, you'll invariably get a list of irrelevant terms as well. Those will become your negative keywords.



To be successful in managing your PPC you will need to come up with all the variations and different combinations of search terms that the multitudes of skin care product searchers are using. Then take them to the Overture keyword selection tool again.



According to Overture, we could conceivably get tens, even hundreds of thousands of US searches in a month on those top keywords.
