Is there anything left to do?
Do not think you are finished because your work has just begun. Tracking your ads is your number one priority. When you do this you will be able to gage the actual productivity of each ad and ensure maximum performance.
You can do this in a variety of ways. Adwords will help you with this as it has a tool to show you the exact amount of traffic an advertisement is drawing.

It is critical to your Adword campaign that you pay attention to every detail and monitor it well. A failing ad can drain your budget, fast. It will distract you from your productive ads and have you chasing ineffective leads. Let’s face it you will still be paying for clicks to a bad ad.
So what do you do with a failing ad? If you have positioned it correctly and it is being seen in the first 5-10 pages you might want to look at the keywords. It is a great temptation to use a popular keyword to draw in more traffic to the ad. This is based on the concept of supply and demand.
The one problem that you will experience with these popular keywords is that they will not be targeted to your particular market. In general a searcher will commence with these words and then proceed to more specified ones. When choosing keywords you will need to use those that will attract your niche market, but at the same time draw enough traffic.
You will want to have a good blend of keywords. general ones to bring in traffic and new leads and specialized ones to make sales.
To be successful with your Adwords campaign, you will need to keep a close eye on it. Of course the success or failure of your campaign will have an important impact on your business. Be sure to pay detailed attention to the management of your campaign to ensure the ongoing success of your business.
