Adwords Campaign Management - Naming Schemes

-----------------------------------------------------------------



Keep your campaigns and naming

schemes simple and readable.



Dull as ditchwater it may be but

when you expand your Google Adwords advertising you will as a

matter of course have multiple campaigns and within each

campaign multiple ad-groups.





Google Recommended Limits

------------------------------------

Googles recommendations/limits are as follows:



* 25 campaigns

* 100 ad-groups/campaign

* 750 keywords/adgroup (although they will allow up to 2,000)



Although you will have a theoretical total of up to 5,000,000 keywords, you will never get anywhere near that.



Why?



This is a performance and scalability issue for Google - the more keywords in an account, the more processing power is required to see what keyword/advert combination should be shown.



If Google were to allow everybody to utilise their full complement of 5,000,000 keywords, Adwords quite simply would not work, screeching to a halt due to excessive load placed on their servers.



This is why in practical terms you will be limited to a fraction

(perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 - somewhat more if your account is a 'good performer') of the possible total.



Regardless, even 50,000 keywords can lend itself very quickly to a lot of complexity so always rename your ad-groups and campaigns from the provided defaults to reflect 'their nature'.



"Campaign #1" tells you exactly 'what it is' but what you want to know is 'what it does'. Adwords Campaign Management becomes proportionally more difficult the more campaigns and

ad-groups you construct.



Some people maintain a spreadsheet with notes

indicating what each campaign and ad-group relate to. This is

commendable but unnecessary.



Having the discipline to do this every time you construct a new ad-group/campaign doesn't take much time or effort but will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.
