SEO results combined with Google AdWords
After optimising our website with keywords of 'Website Design',
'Website Designers', 'Web Designing' and 'Web Design'
we noticed a real improvement in our sites ranking in Google. Our
Page Rank went from 3/10 to 4/10 almost overnight and our site was
steadily improving in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) from
nowhere to Page 4 result 30 for our main keyword Website Design.
So in November 2006 we started our Google AdWords campaign to help
improve our sites visibility and drive more traffic to our website.
We choose keywords that were prominant in our websites text content
and went about setting monthly spending limits and maximum cost
per clicks.
Initial Reactions
Our initial reactions were positive and our unique visitors and
page impressions rose by over 50% in the first month alone. As at
Janury 2007 our websites Average Clicks were up by 100% and contacts
made to the business have increased tenfold.

Is it SEO or Google AdWords?
Considering the AdWords Campaign started at the end of November
2006, we already saw a jump in hits to our website prior to it's
inception. We worked hard in Search Engine Optimising our site for
our chosen keywords and got immediate results in traffic coming
to our site. The Google AdWords campaign only strenghtened our growing
position in the SERPS and by January 2007 we were displaying on
Page 1 and our Page Rank had increased to 5/10.
Without completely knowing the complexities of the Google Algorithm
and how they reward those who invest time and money with their company,
one can only presume that our AdWords campaign has had an impact
on our website prominance in the SERPS. This is much is for certain,
since running our AdWords campaign and coupled with application
of Search Engine Optimisation,
we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of enquiries received
day to day by customers looking to get a new website or upgrade
their current site and as the old adage goes, " You've gotta
spend money to make money".
