If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time I’m sure that by now you know what Google AdWords is and how it can help you grow your affiliate business.

Essentially Google AdWords is a pay per click system integrated into the heart of Google.com search results.

If you’ve used Google before you’ve probably already seen the ads they feature on their results pages, these are called Google AdWords ads.

What you might not know though is those ads you see on those results pages are shown to people in your geographic location and might not be shown to other people in other locations in your country or other countries around the globe. It’s all part of their ad targeting system.

As a Big Selling Affiliate using Google AdWords to drive traffic to our Big Selling products this is important to know when researching the global market place for advertising oportunites within Google.

I’ve got a tip here for you that could potentially cut down your Google AdWords competition 10 fold, but you can only do this if you have access to a specific “hidden” Google AdWords tool few people know about.

You see Google have created a special web page where you can preview the Google AdWords ads shown to other people in other countries. This is important because these are the ads you won’t see when you search Google in your own country.

Before I give you the link to this powerful and very useful free AdWords tool I’d like to give you a quick demonstration so you can see what I mean.

First of all I enter my search term…

Then I choose the which country I’d like to preview the ads for. So if I was in this country these are the AdWords ads Google would show to me for the search term entered above…

In this case I’ve chosen Switzerland, when you’re doing this it’s also important to consider if this country has a population with access to credit cards (if you’re selling something) and that they can speak English.

Then just press the  “preview ads” button and Google will show you the search results page that’s delivered to people in the country you’ve chosen along with the Google AdWords ads on the right side of the page.

Here’s what people see in Switzerland when they search for “web design tips”…

As you can see only 1 Google AdWords ad appears! There’s plenty of room for you to target this country and get some good targeted traffic when you do.

Let’s compare this to the results delivered to people in the United States…

Whilst you can’t see them all here I counted 24 Google AdWords ads over 4 results pages. Competition is pretty fierce in the US for this search term. This makes your cost per click a lot higher than if you targeted the smaller markets places which have fewer competitors.

I’m sure that by now you’re itching to have a look at this excellent Google AdWords tool so here it is…
