Signing in to Your WordStream Account

WordStream is a Web based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, so you can sign in to your WordStream account from anywhere that has an Internet connection and a Web browser that supports Flash 9.x (basically any browser).

To sign in, you simply navigate to: http://www.wordstream.com, click the "customer login" link at the top right hand of your screen, and enter the account information that was emailed to you upon signing up for your WordStream free trial, as shown below:

Log in to your WordStream account by entering the username and password information provided to you upon sign up.

Where did all these keywords come from? - As you first sign in to your account, assuming you were able to get a hold of your website's log files or set up the Google Analytics integration, a list of keywords will be pre-loaded for you (how extensive the list is will depend on how much data you upload; since what are known as "long tail" key terms drive a large amount of high intent traffic, the more data you can get a hold of, the better).  This pre-loaded list represents the key phrases WordStream's Keyword Discovery Tool found upon parsing your log files and mining your Google Analytics data. You can also import keyword data obtained from an analytics tool or from a third party keyword research tool.

Additionally, as part of setting up your WordStream account or free trial, you've installed a snippet of JavaScript code in the footer of each of your website's Web pages.  This enables WordStream's Web analytics tools to constantly track search traffic to your website, and will allow the software to discover new keywords every day that are helping drive traffic to your site.

Start using the tools - Now that you're signed in to your WordStream account and you can access the keywords that have been stored for you, you can start to take advantage of WordStream's suite of Search Engine Marketing tools to optimize your pay-per-click campaigns.
