Always remember that there are many ads, using the same keywords that are competing against your ad. If there were no competitive ads for a keyword it would mean that that it is too obscure and would attract very few searches. The chances of a sale are high but cost of production would also be too high. In order to get a high position you will need to pay more for your clicks.

Bear in mind the fact that with popular keywords and when you use “Sponsored Links” you will have some sales but also a fair amount of wasted leads. Due to this factor you should be careful to assess the correct clicks to sale conversions. You should also understand how much you are spending on clicks as opposed to the profits you are making on your sales.
Tracking is vital to your success and will tell you how effective the ad is in drawing leads and sales. All traffic and no sales from your ad will require adjustments. Sometimes you may need to just do a small adjustment for the keywords but at other times larger changes are necessary to make a successful Adwords campaign.
Google provides you with excellent tools for tracking your ad. In fact if you sell your own products and services you can even track sales conversions from your campaign. With your keyword list in your campaign you can see exactly how many clicks each keyword is generating.
