		<description>@ Shailendra

Although your Google Adwords account has been terminated, there are still alternatives to using Google like Yahoo, Bing, and now Facebook ads.  These are all effective paid mediums that many people are really seeing success within.  Google has actually lost a bit of their market share as of late to Bing and Yahoo, whom BTW are joining forces in late 2011 to become a sole advertising solution.  

You can also put more emphasis on your SEO and article marketing activities.  These are free ways to get traffic and they should not be overlooked.  We can definitely help you out with all of this at WA.

Cheers,

Kyle</description>

		<description>Hi Kyle,

I think i have made the biggest mistake in my life and did not join WA. Had i seen this post earlier even that might have helped. GOD!

I have been slapped by Google for trying to run a PPC campaign and just imagine that was (past tense) my first trial in PPC method trying to promote as a Clickbank affiliate.

I now have an email from them stating that all my Google accounts and related accounts have been suspended. I am doomed ( trust me the feeling is even worse). I really don&#039;t know where to go from here. I did use more than 20 keywords in my campaigns and just imagine .. my first campaign did not even get through, even though the ads were approved but were never run.

I dont know if the reason stated above could be the only reason but for all you guys out there please PLEASE get some expert help before you venture on your own, especially PPC methods.

Any help on how  i could get back my Google Ad words account reinstated would be real helpful.

		<description>Hi Max,

Having multiple ad groups within an ad group is not an issue.  In fact, this is completely normal and depending on the size of your campaign, 100+ ad groups may be more than likely.

The key is to be relevant with your keyword selection, your ads, and also your landing pages.  Google does not mind if you have several ad groups...they are more concerned with the relevance of them.

Cheers,

		<description>Thanks for the tips Kyle. 
But I have one question, what about total number of adgroups?
You were saying it is better to have less than 5 keywords per adgroup, which mean eventually we will have more adgroups.
Will having to many adgroups in one campaign hurt our quality score?</description>

		<description>I think that was the problem with mine as well. It&#039;s a lot of work but it is worth it when you know that you can beat all your competitors who don&#039;t know any better.</description>

		<description>Excellent post (and comments) for someone like me (ie not exactly a newbie but still soooo much to learn!)- short, sharp and easy to understand and follow as I make the move up a level (or two!) 

Many thanks and more like it please!</description>

		<description>In an idealistic world, absolutely James...one keyword per ad group will RULE.  However, you can get away with more depending on the relevance and the common keyword theme that you are targeting.

A great PPC campaign can still have up to 10 keywords per ad group...where as a &quot;good&quot; one may have up to 20, but you are opening yourself up to a Google slap at this point.

If you don&#039;t play Google&#039;s game, someone else will and take your traffic (and revenue) in the process!

Cheers

		<description>You will get the highest CTR and quality score if you have one keyword per group. There is no better way. 

There are tools that do this for you if you want but try it and you will improve your profits.

		<description>Great advice.

I&#039;ve always kept my ad groups as tight as possible, in most cases less than 10 keywords every time. It&#039;s more work, but this post proves why it&#039;s worth the effort.

There&#039;s only one way to play this game, and that is to play it the way Google wants you to play it.

Keep &#039;em happy ;)
