When creating ad groups, it is important to keep numerous factors in mind:

monitor and so you can write ad copy that is precisely targeted to those
terms.
? You may want to create a group for misspelled terms.
? You may want to create a group for mistyped domain names.
? You may want to create ad groups based on personality types.
? You may want to create ad groups for your most important products.
? You may want to create ad groups for seasonal or special promotions.
? Some people also use different groups for contextual ads, due to
different ad value and the desire to use different ad copy.
There are many ways you can split up your account. By creating and tracking
various ad groups, it makes it easier to monitor your return on investment and
adjust your ad spend accordingly.
Using smaller ad groups makes it easy to have a relevant user experience from
search, to ads, to landing page, to conversion.

your ROI.

having a higher click-through rate and lowers your cost-per-click if you bid on
many variations of your most important Google AdWords keywords.
