What is a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
-
Hello there, given that in the banners we offer a promotion with "some bonus if you sign up", what is from your experience a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?
Many thanks to everyone that answers.

Many thanks Rui, we'll try Yahoo! and Bing advertising.

I have no idea what a good CTR would be for the fields you mentioned
You should start the campaigns, split test different ads with different images, headlines, CTAs etc for your remarketing campaigns and keep improving your CTRs
Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
if the website is set up correctly, then remarketing can work well for all of these. if it's leather bags and they added the bag to the checkout but didn't proceed, then you can target these people specifically and lure them back to the website to finish the transaction.
I assume with automotive the objective is to get their contact details in which case remarketing will work well
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
well i don't know the specifics of the business so it's difficult to say
for online printing, if it involves printing photos, then fb marketing can work well. leather bags could also work well on fb
beds and mattresses -- you could try yahoo & bing advertising as you would probably get lower cost/click than u would on adwords

We have different products for different clients and the purpose of the initial question was to understand (if exists) a kind of "cross-sectorial" typical CTR for a Remarketing campaign based on the average of real data of other PPC professionals.
Right now have several remarketing campaigns running for different clients, specifically we would like to know what do you think to be a good CTR for this market fields:
a) Automotive (high profit margin for each acquisition).
b) Online printing (low profit margin for each acquisition).
c) Beds and mattresses e-commerce (high profit margin for each acquisition).
d) Leather bags (medium profit margin for each acquisition).Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?
Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?
Many thanks.

Monthly subscription indeed!
Customer value is around $190 at the moment and remarketing brings them in at around $19 at last count
What product/service are you thinking of using remarketing for?
-
Many thanks Rui for sharing with us your data! It's very helpful for us!
Anyway, which kind business model do you have for your "education product"? Monthly subscription?
-
I run an education product.
I'm getting around 0.81% on the remarketing campaign over the last 30 days but conversion rates are crazy -- I'm getting triple the normal conversion rates.
I don't know if the CTR is a good one but compared to normal display campaigns where I get around 0.20-0.27%, it's a much higher CTR than what I usually get

Thank you Logan, we're aware that the CTR depends on a ton of factors, we just needed to listen about some real-world CTR from other marketers that had run Google AdWords remarketing campaigns.
Many thanks for your answer!

This is almost too vague of a question, because CTR is really dependent on a ton of variables, such as:
-
Perceived value of said "bonus"
-
Industry served
-
How specific, or broad your targeting is
-
Do you cap your impressions?
-
Branding and brand recognition (does it look familiar to the viewer - do they recall your message your brand, what your product is all about?)
-
The design/interactivity of the ad
Remarketing campaigns can vary significantly on those factors (and probably others), but if you can achieve 1% that would be pretty impressive IMO. Realistically, most the remarketing campaigns I've run (healthcare industry) end up .01-.75% CTR.

Is there way to have several AdWords Ad for the same keyphrase?
Hi guys. Can I have 2-3-4 ads come up for the same keyphrase? The situation is: I'm bidding for client's company name, there is no other competition (nobody else bids for client's company name), I'm bidding only for exact match and phrase match. Is there way to have, let's say 4 ads come up when somebody searches for exact matched company name? P.S. I know it's weird question, all this is done under reputation management for this company, I'm trying to occupy as much space at the top of the 1st SERPs, so people don't see ROR article in organic position #4. If you have other suggestions - please feel free to put it here. (SEO is being done, not-index pages are being optimized to try to come up as several organic results, backlink building is in process, Social media profiles are being optimized as well). I'm just trying to have some temporary "fix".

Adwords negative keywords / keyword lists conflicting?
Does any of you had any experience on large 5k+ shared negative keyword lists impacting normal campaign negative keywords in Adwords even if they are not selected on these campaigns? And a second question; does anyone know how selected negative keyword lists can be removed from a campaign? I seem to be able to add them but not to remove them... Cheers!

Google Remarketing Targeting
I've been thinking lately about employing re-marketing in AdWords, and have been doing some research on it. My findings keep pointing to the fact that you can't target only people who visited your site but didn't convert. I keep thinking this cannot be true because it's simply too ludicrous to be. Why else would you want to use re-marketing? Can someone please either confirm or deny this? Thanks

How to view the sources of visitors who bounced off in Google Analytics?
Hi there, we have a website with a more than 60% bounce rate. I'm trying to find out where these visitors (the ones that are bouncing off) are coming from, to what percentage are they coming from the PPC campaign, from organic search results or referrals. I suspect that the keywords from the PPC campaign are not relevant to the website content (and hence visitors are bouncing off). Does anyone know how to check this in Google Analytics? Thanks in advance!

Google PPC Quality Score (adventures in)
We have one keyword that brings our site the most visitors. This keyword is the brand name we carry. We have several years of tracking it in Adwords. For some extended time, this keyword [exact match] has averaged 19 cents per click, 2.7 average position, 4.5% click through, and a quality score of 7/10. We wanted more clicks. We could think of what was needed to increase the quality score. Sure, we could change the meta tag title and the adwords title to be the same as the single word keyword, but this would be less informative. We decided to keep these titles as phrases which include the brand name. First change we made: we increased the bid. After all, it was profitable for the two ads above us, right? We increased our bid from .50 to $1.50. Effect? Average position increased to 2.3 from 2.7. Click through increased from 4.5% to 4.9%. Cost per click went from .19 to .51. The incremental cost for each sale was......well really really high.....this didn't work. (oh, we rank #2 organically. Our organic CTR dropped from 3.2% to 2.9% with this change as well) Reversed back to where we were and decided to focus on the quality score. We realized that the keyword was part of an add group with about 20 other keywords. This word was important.....lets put it in it's own ad group. We then made an "exact" copy of the ad and started up a new ad group. Paused the old keyword. We very quickly realized that the quality score on this "same" keyword was now 4/10. That was odd....lets give it a few days......quality score drops to 3/10 and no longer qualifies for first page. What was different we wondered? AH! We capitalized the first letter of the word. Changing this took the quality score up to 6/10 instantly. hmmm, we thought capitalization didn't matter? Seems it did. We now wait to see where the quality score goes. Saga to continue....

New v Returning in Google Analytics with Adwords
I am trying to figure out an issue with Google Analytics. What i am stumped on is I see traffic from AdWords coming in (accounts linked) and I see new v returning user. Does the return visit still show even if a user came back in via direct or organic? Or is it that these return visits are clicking on the ad again to come back as visits and clicks match in the reports?

Keyword quota exceeded! Need help with Adwords Strategy
Hello, I was playing around with my Adwords and received a nice message from Google saying "Keywood Quota exceed". Basically I have too many keywords. That made me wonder if I could organize my keywords better. I sell tractor parts online. The majority of traffic is from people putting the part number into Google i.e 0J51MP5ON . It therefore made sense to use the manufactures SKU as keywords. The problem is that we have 30,000 keywords and will be moving to 100,000 - which above the Google limit. Each keyword links to the appropriate page on the website i.e. 0J51MP5ON goes to the 0J51MP5ON page. To make things simpler I could cut down on keywords by redirecting all parts starting with 0J5 to a 0J5 landing page for parts being with 0J5. The would be from the same Tractor manufacturer. However, I am worried this will reduce conversation rates. It will make it easier to manage the keywords. Anyone got any better suggestions?
