Which do I choose: AdWords Starter or Standard Edition?
I was asked recently about the differences between AdWords Starter and Standard Editions. My friend just didnt know which to choose...
Basic question: What are YOUR needs?!
Define what your needs are, who you need to target, and how you want to go about it. Then, you will be able to easily select the option that best suits your needs.
Specifically,
If you would like to use only one ad, need basic reporting (impressions, clicks, cost), want to target people from a specific location...then the Starter edition is the ideal tool.
If, on the other hand, you need to use more than one ads, need broad based reporting (all reports included, also customization of reports), need broad targetting of people, want different bidding options plus additional tools (keyword tool, trafic estimator, etc) then consider using the Standard edition. Its an all in one solution.

SEO Basics
When optimizing your website, some of the main elements you need to consider are the following:
1.
Title Tag - A title tag makes up the sentence or group of words displayed on the top bar of your Web browser. It plays a major role on your search engine rankings. You should include your keywords in the Title Tag, but not in a repetitive manner. Basically a Title Tag must be made up of about 90 characters, although you could also take into account the length of Titles displayed by search engines (i.e Google) in results. The Title Tag is found right after the Head tag.
2.
Description Tag - This is an important part of your optimization as this is the text that will give crawlers an idea of what your site is about. It should be a total of 250 characters clearly explaining and describing your website. You can also see that some search engines use Description tags as a quick summary (description) of a site displayed in search results. The principle is always, not to overuse or repeat your keywords in your description as this is considered as spam.
3.
Keyword Tag - These are the words that you are targeting and want to compete for (want to rank for on search engines). After having decided which keywords you want to use, put them in the Keyword Meta Tag in order of importance. Again, do not repeat or overuse keywords!
There are tools to help you determine which keywords are those that render the best results (search or bidding wise). Some are the Google AdWords Keyword Tool, Overture Keyword Selector Tool and the Bidding tool (shows you how much competitors are bidding for specific keywords), etc. A quick Google search will also render a list of Meta Tag Analyzers and Keyword Density Analyzers which help you in the evaluation of your web page meta tags and keyword density.
