1. Long List of Keywords- you should not make the list long, you should make it targeted, if you are a software company, keyword “download” may be suitable for your ad. If people click the ad with this keyword, you need to pay much but most probably got zero feedbacks because the cost per click for such a generic keyword will be much higher compared with a more descriptive relevant keyword. Compete with different company on this “download” keyword, include MP3 download site, Musical Website, big software company or even MP3 manufacturer and the price must be much higher. Why not pick a descriptive keyword like “download printing software” to avoid competing with those musical or mp3.
2. Landing to your home page- when visitor clicks on the ad, you should bring to the page with exact information your ad described and not to a generic home page or welcome page because visitors are busy to look for information. They will skim through the page to locate the information and if they cannot find the information they need, they will close your page and click on another ad.
3. Missing Keywords in Your Ad- you should add your keywords in to your title and descriptive text. If your ad does not have any relation with your keyword, the quality of your ad will be lower and you need to pay more to get into a higher position. You should keep your ad properly related to your keywords.
