25 ways to get Google AdWords wrong. Mistake #1: bad names

Posted by Dave CollinsGoogle Ads

AdWords is complicated enough already. Don’t add to the chaos by using strange abbreviations.

A new campaign named first-cont-01 might make sense next week, but in a year’s time, the person handling your account may be baffled.

There’s a better way.

Clear names make navigation and analysis quicker and easier.

Campaign: discounts US and Canada

Ad group: 20 percent

Use the same tracking in your ads, and it’s child’s play:

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.asp?ref=adwords&campaign=discounts-us-canada&adgroup=20-percent&ad=001

No matter what you use to analyse your server logs, you’ll instantly know where that click came from.
