One mistake people usually make once they've started their PPC campaigns is they think they can just let the campaigns run by themselves. That kind of people usually ends up failing miserably. One thing to get straight here: PPC is EASY, but you can't be LAZY. Certain degree of management is always needed when running a PPC campaign.
The market is always changing. Today you might be the only one advertising a particular business on search engines, by next month you might already have five more competitors, and six months later:you get my point. When there are more and more competitors bidding for the same keyword, the minimum bid for that keyword is most likely to increase by a significant amount. If you don't keep an eye on your biddings regularly, your ads might fall to very low positions, and in the worst scenario, your ads will stop displaying once the minimum bid exceeds your current bidding.
This is just one of a million reasons why PPC management is important. If you have a small or home business, you can probably do the management in-house; and if you are a big company with hundreds and thousands of products, you can always contract a search marketing company to do PPC management for you as well.
If you are doing PPC management in-house or by yourself, one thing to avoid is making changes too often. Randomness in the market is almost inevitable. One ad may perform exceptionally well today, but crappy the very next day. If you make changes on a daily basis trying to counteract the fluctuations, you are more likely to hurt your campaign than actually improving it. Plus, there will a significant time lag between the moment you made the changes and when the changes starting to impact your campaign.
We've got requests from our clients in the past asking us to do "ad testing" on a daily basis. We simply told them "it's impossible. We need time to gather accurate data."
With each change that you make, let it run for a few days, a week, or a month if you have to. Make sure you have gathered enough information before you make your next move.
