If you want to reach these people with your sales message, consider using Adwords for mobiles. It is available right there, in your control panel in the content network section. You have the flexibility to really focus your campaign based on the type of devices, networks and location. This helps you to reach out to the relevant people only.

However you must be careful to avoid an important mistake made by most of the advertisers. When they create their ads for the mobile users, they send the clicks to a regular web page only. When the user clicks the ad, they land up on a web site that does not render well on their tiny screens and bail out, wasting your precious advertising dollars.

It is important to have a mobile version of the landing page so that the entire lead generation process can be completed on the mobile friendly screens only. The webile people design landing pages for mobiles – feel free to contact them if you want to get started with improving the response rates from your mobile ad campaigns.

When you are just starting out and have few leads to handle and enough resources (callers, salespeople), you should strive to get as many leads as possible. Some leads will be junk, some will be borderline cases (need more work to convert) and some will be more qualified (sales-ready). However your sales team will be busy and they may even be able to convert some of the borderline cases resulting in higher sales.

In these situations, you should ask the bare minimum number of questions in the form to increase the form-completion rate.

However when you have got busier and do not want to waste your valuable and scarce sales resources on junk or less-probable leads, you should turn the dial a bit and ask for a few qualifying questions in the lead form, as is being done by this Atlanta Web design company. This will improve the lead quality as tire-kickers won't bother to fill up your detailed forms. This will help the sales team to close more cases more quickly and will protect them from unduly following up the hardly interested prospects.

Keep looking for the more accurate terms that describe your exact product offering and if you can match your landing page well, you can look forward to some excellent ROI.

Simple solution: Have the destination URL contain your targeted keyword a couple of times. Here's how it works–

I was recently reviewing a new client's Adwords campaign for locating improvement possibilities and realized that one ad group is costing him  $5.15 per click. Whoa! Sounded like too much for this keyword. On close inspection, I found that he is sending the visitors to the home page. What? No special landing page!

Wait, there's more to this. When I visited that home page, I had another shock waiting for me. This page had absolutely no reference to the term he has targeted. But why would he do that? When I asked him, he replied: "This product is also called by this name in some countries."

After editing the home page copy to include a couple of references to this new term also, we saved the campaign and by the next day, we saw the cost-per-click drop to 41 cents. Yes, straight from $5.15 to 41 cents. Just because the destination page now became more relevant for this term.

Are you doing the same fatal mistake? Visit your Adwords campaign now to locate such moneysuckers and kill them.

Say you are advertising on adwords tool (keyword 1). Now if you add 2 more keywords – "adwords tool" (keyword 2) and [adwords tool] (keyword 3) to your keyword list, you will find that the matches have been segregated among the three.

When people search for the exact term – adwords tool, they are put under the keyword 3. Similarly when the terms adwords and tool appear in the exact order and next to each other (as in adwords tool download), they are put under the 2nd keyword. For all other terms like adwords improvement tool, the terms are matched with the keyword 1. This can get you more accurate statistics and a better CTR  for the exact match because those searchers will find your ads to be really relevant, lowering your cost per click.
