AdWords – Google’s powerful pay per click (PPC) marketing tool - can be a great way of attracting traffic to your website.

Adwords is quick to set up: you can have a campaign live within minutes and it delivers targeted traffic from the outset.

But, it’s not always easy to use, particularly if you’re new to PPC.

Leave a campaign to progress on its own, unchanged and unguided, and it could cost you a fortune - with no revenue to show for your efforts!

Your free guide to pay per click

That’s why Wordtracker has partnered with PPC expert Ian Howie to create PPC Basics, your free Google Adwords guide. This 44 page e-book shows you how closely related keywords, relevant ad copy and a relevant landing page are core to an effective PPC campaign.
