PPC Keywords - how many to start?

[BlondeTM]

Learn to love PHP. For your destination URL, use something like this: example.com/mylandingpage.php?kw=my+many+word+keyphrase+here Then, on the landing page, include this code: <?php echo $_GET['kw']; ?> Put it in the meta tags and then two more times in the body, once in H1 tags for good measure. This will display the *exact* keyphrase in your landing page, automagically.

This worked like a charm. Thanks!

Yeah that php tip is great! cheers.

Does anyone know of a online tool, program or script that will take a keyword list and add urls based on the keywords in adwords format?

Okay, I'm motivated today for some reason and this gave me a great idea.

Give me some time and I'll build a sweet little tool...

That site looks useful, but the url tool doesn't work directly with Adwords editor - easy enough to add a few commas with excel though.

I've just read this:

Using AdWords Dynamic Parameters in Links » eWhisper.net

and am going to start using urls in analytics format for a lot of campaigns:

http://www.site.com/page.php?utm_source=AdWords&utm_medium=PPC&utm_term={keyword}&utm_content={creative}&utm_campaign=AdGroup&Network={ifContent:Content}{ifSearch:Search}&SiteTarget={placement}

And then echo the keywords in my landing pages.

Going to look at using {keyword: default_keyword} in ads too, but not sure it will be much use for long tail keyword phrases.

I downloaded the adwords editor yesterday and it still isn't letting me log in. It says that either the account doesn't exist or I don't have permission to modify it. I have no trouble logging in through google though.

I had a similar issue with my first adwords account, it wouldn't log into the adwords editor even though the username/password was correct.

I just created a new Adwords account and it logs in perfectly. Might be a quick-fix solution for you.
