First Campaign Early Results

So, I’ve loaded up my first campaign and have some early results.  Actually, I loaded it up a few weeks ago and got a little gun shy before pulling the Adwords trigger.  Basically, I was distracted and came back to it.  Interestingly, I’m actually seeing some organic traffic right in my keyword wheelhouse and it’s converting at about 12.5% of the organic uniques.

I went back through my AdWords campaign and made some adjustment pre-launch and lit the fuse today.  We’ll see how it works out tomorrow.  Right now, I’m running two ad group with about 30 keywords each.  I also have three ad variations set to do battle each ad group.  I’m not split testing my landing page just yet because the spend will be very low and I honestly need more time to get another version together.  The good news is I think the initial version will be fine on this one.  Nice to have a job where you’ve been creating and optimizing sites for years.  The bad news is I’ve never sold anything “real”.  This campaign is for a product rather than a service so getting my thinking straight going into it was pretty key to having the site right.

Once I get a better track on where I’m at I’ll share my failure success with you all.  Wish me luck!
