In my last post I introduced some of the new features in the AdWords (beta) Interface. I said in that post that I'd come back and discuss more, this time focusing on the Help interface which as I said previously is surprisingly helpful....
What do you think? Upon my initial overview, I can say I like it. My apologies to those of you who got here when I accidentally posted before I was ready with this introduction. There are so many aspects to explore with beta layout that I think this is going to take several posts to cover all of them. I'm going to start out with with the Charts / Graphs element as it is so new and wonderful....
We regularly get email something similar to this: I'm just one guy running my business. I want a great PPC program and I heard you can cater to someone like me. Can you help me? I typically respond to questions like this very carefully because there isn't a simple yes/no answer. I don't want to provide false hope because yes, I do create great PPC programs, but much of the success is going to depend heavily on the website. Let's look at a few things relevant to the campaigns first....
Last week's Top 10 ways to save money with PPC was a bit tongue in cheek, but I hope you came away with the the very solid point I was making. Negative keywords are the best way to save money on unwanted clicks. When you're after the lowest cost per conversion (as most ecommerce websites would be, right?) you watch where your ad spend is going very carefully....
Over the previous weeks I have made a deliberate point of talking about important it is to use Keyword negatives to save money in your paid ad campaigns. I thought I would put together a quick lists of these top ten ways for saving money.
If you read my last post where I asked "Can You Make Sense Of Match Types," you learned about the four different match types: Broad match, "Phrase match", [Exact match] and -Negative match. We discussed how knowing the match types is only one part of using them. It's equally important that you know where to go to set and how to tell Google that you want to use a match type other than broad match....
We've previously looked at Paid Search Advertising Roadmap, Paid Search Rules and Alphabet Soup and PPC. Now let's start looking at keyword matching. How well do you understand match types?...
If you're new to working with PPC, you may be like every other newbie in the world and be confused by the jargon often used. PPC, CPC, CTR, DKI ... It doesn't take long to figure it all out, but in the beginning it would have been nice to have someone lay out the soup for me, so I thought I'd lay it out for you. The obvious ones are: PPC = Pay Per Click; CPC = Cost Per Click; CTR = Click Through Rate; and lastly and maybe not so obvious, DKI = Dynamic Keyword Insertion.
In my last post I identified where paid ads display on the different search networks. This time I thought I'd create a brief outline of what the ads themselves actually look like, and explain some of the basic 'rules' associated with each search network....
Many people do know what PPC advertising is, and where paid advertising is displayed, but my experience at a recent conference reminded me that this isn't always the case. So I decided a great first entry for me at Search Engine Guide would be a Boot Camp style article explaining exactly what paid search advertising looks like .
