Stop Wasting Money on SEM:
Know Your Customer to Know
         your User
While it may seem obvious to many of us in the industry
(The so-called veterans) it may not be that obvious to all.
That is, no matter what rankings you achieve or how much
    you are spending on your PPC in a month, you really
 should only consider one thing: Your customers. 100% of
  your efforts must revolve around who your customer is.
In this article I give some tips to ensure that your
marketing campaign revolves around your customer.
That theme is user intent.
What is the most important element missing from these
comments (and, I think, from many clients in general)?
             The focus on the customer.
Better yet, send them to the pricing/checkout page and
 give them free shipping! That will undoubtedly help
                   encourage the sale.
Similarly, if you are finding a product specification page
 ranking highly for a purchase search term, try and find a
better page to optimize for that term and de-optimize the
 product page so that the purchase page will rank higher.
This is where personas are extremely helpful. If you can
   put a face to your customer, you can determine their
  intent. And if you can determine their intent you can
effectively create your entire marketing campaign around
                             it.
In fact, such knowledge will likely impact the terms you
use altogether. While you may think that the searcher will
 use certain terms, in fact you may find that you are way
                          off base.
You see, simple terms like this can mean many things,
 therefore the search engines are trying to use their
  technology to figure out what the searcher wants.
And many times, when you perform a search and you see
  a PageRank 3 site outranking a PageRank 6 site, this is
     why. It is because the search engine has tried to
determine that intent and is therefore trying to match the
             site that best suits that searcher.
So, if you are planning your SEM campaign for 2006, my
opinion is go back to the drawing board. First, determine
  your goals. Then, determine who it is you are trying to
 reach and why they would want to use your product or
  service. If you can determine this intent then you can
   effectively craft an SEM campaign that will be both
                successful and cost effective.
