targeting issues. Currently, Google paid advertising does offer some great local
targeting tools due to their unique ability to target end users via their IP
address. Yahoo! on the other hand, relies on local keyword filters that are
based on cities that you include in your service area.

likely find that some industries suffer from low traffic volume.

Cottage Holiday In Wales Keyword Targeting Issues

Caravan Holiday In Wales Keyword targeting issues arise when a keyword either has multiple meanings or
the market is sticky to a particular offering within the keyword scope. For
example, the keyword "marketing professionals" could imply a business
looking for one or an industry professional looking for a job.

stubborn to buy its offering if its not tailored to the masses. For example the
keyword "pottery" could imply any price range. However, if 99% of the market
is looking for pottery priced from $1-2 and your selling exotic pottery for $500
a pop, you may find yourself paying too much for what the market doest want.

as the "Fill out xyz for 4 free quotes" or travel websites. Those companies
can afford the high keyword costs due to the fact that they are reselling the
same "xyz" to multiple vendors. This in effect makes it very difficult for
companies marketing exclusively to compete against the giants.
