Maximizing Success with Adwords Demographics
If you’ve got a website that caters specifically to a certain age group or target audience, your advertisements may be wasted on Internet users that don’t match your goals.
That’s why Google Adwords is offering something called “demographic bidding.” With this new system, your online marketing strategies can reach new and exciting goals. With demographic bidding, you can enable more attention-grabbing product placements for your Adsense ads to increase their impact on viewers. That way, your target audience is more likely to see the products meant for them.
Think of it this way: You are wasting your advertising dollars if you are paying for Adwords to display ads about the latest video game system if the only people seeing it are senior citizens.
The new system works because Google will receive the specific demographic data from various social networks. Myspace, Facebook and others often ask for users’ ages and other information when they sign up for accounts. Google will then use that information and display your Adwords ads to your target groups on those websites. Or the company can simply prevent your ads from displaying to groups outside of your target audience.
Google outlines three steps for those interested in this new program:
1. Sign up with Google Adwords and create a campaign.
2. Wait for the campaign to run for a week to gather demographic information and assess the impact of the campaign.
3. Increase your bids for groups with good values or hide the ads from groups with poor responses.
