Ok I started my 1st campaign directing to an offer using YSM PPC search.
I've spent $102.95 in 3 days and made $90 from 3 conversions. I chose 25 top searched terms(using standard match) for my keywords and have had 103 total clicks with only 15 of the terms receiving clicks. All 3 conversions have come from one of the terms and its plural version.
I have a hunch I may not be using the right keywords in order to turn this into a very profitable campaign or I'm not using the right matching options. All these keywords revolve around the same concept and are short tail(standard matching). For example if my product was a drug cleanser, the keywords would be drug cleanser, drug remover, drug cleansing, drug detoxification, etc. I was thinking of trying to get 100 clicks for each keyword and seeing how many conversions I get.
My questions:
1. Is it even possible to come up with unique keywords for a very specific product?
1. If say "drug remover" turns out to be profitable after testing it with 100 clicks, should I turn on advanced matching for that term or possibly try to find a bunch of longtails related to "drug remover" and add them to the account?
2. I've read to test keywords with 100-200 clicks before deciding to remove them, how can anyone afford this with a list of 2000 keywords?
3. Plus wouldn't it take too long to get 100-200 clicks for each of the 2000 longtail keywords?
4. Should you only use long tail when you know their short tail can convert?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
