Step 3: Set Up Google Adwords and Conduct Keyword Research

Google Adwords allows you to buy keywords and then feature in the ad section of their Google Search Results.  This can be valuable (especially for new sites, which in our experience take about six months to get indexed and show results on Organic (free) search results.) as the paid advertising on Google will give you immediate access to the search traffic that the first page of Google enjoy.

Advertising on Google is outside the scope of this book, but www.wordstream.com/google-adwords have the information you need to get going and a free tool to test your Adwords account for areas of improvement.

In order to conduct keyword research you first need to log into Google Adwords, Type in the username and password and then click on sign in.
