With Google AdWords, advertisers can literally bid on words that they think people will search. When they buy these words, they can create an ad with google that will appear on the search pages depending on search relevance. You can learn more about the behind the scenes world of Google by going here!
So our task in class today was to come up with five possible ads that we could make with AdWords for our blog. The tricky part of this is the fact that space in these ads is extremely limited! Here is the template:
Line 1: Max 25 characters
Line 2: Max 35 characters
Line 3: Max 35 characters
URL: Max 1024 characters
Note: Characters include all letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation, and spaces!
We had to create five different ads for our blog. Here are mine!
Live life every day
Laugh with everything you do
Learn with me on my blog!
Live, laugh, learn!
Join Katelyn Fletcher on her quest
To always live to learn
Live life to its fullest
Laughing at every great moment
Learning and blogging along the way
Learn to express yourself
Learn to enjoy yourself
Learn to love life.
Live to learn
The things you love
Every moment of every day
The most important key words I tried to use were common phrases such as "live to learn," "Live life," and of course the key words "live laugh learn"!
And who knows, maybe one day I'll end up actually making one of these ads! I think I would be most likely to run it during the summer, as that's when most people would have time to do the things I post about!
Oh, and if you're wondering what AdSense is - it's sort of like the opposite of AdWords. Instead of shelling out money to create an ad, you can use AdSense to put these ads on to your website - or your blog! With this, you can earn pennies for every click you get on the ad. It may not be much, but it's something - and it can really add up if you have a lot of traffic!
So today, I'll leave you with another random thing I learned while staring at my screen writing these - the stripes on hood of this sweater that I've had for two years go horizontal! I don't pay a lot of attention.
