How To Increase Clicks In Google Shopping?
-
I have about 613 furniture products in Google shopping and am getting about 2 clicks a day. Any tips on getting more clicks?
Current budget is $10 a day at $0.01 per click bid.
Should I increase my bid per click or add more products or both?
Thanks!

Just seen the update to this question.
If you have a high value, high margin product, yes you might be able to afford a AU$20 cost per conversion, but if you are only making AU$15 on a sale, then this makes no sense at all.
Hope this keeps the little grey cells working.

Your culprit right now is definitely the minimum bid. You can see what kind of Impression Share you are getting in the Adwords interface. If it's not at least 40-50%, keep raising your bids.
Once enough data has accumulated you'll also see a Benchmark Max CPC which will help you further optimize your bids as you will know what other advertisers are bidding on similar brand/products.
I'd also make sure your PLA is subdivided in a way that makes sense and is easy to optimize.

Hi Kiwi man
Before you do any adjustments, download and cut and slice the adwords report data for this shopping campaign, analyse it and re-analyse it.
Check the campaign setup and see where your current money is going with your downloaded stats.
"Shopping" is hugely competive and you need to distil your target and also your products very very carefuly before spending more. Look out for high click throughs with no conversions or high bounce rates.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the response. With a $0.01 bid I'm at the very end of the list so I think that may be a reason. The images are good quality as well, but I do think it's a position issue.

I haven’t personally tried Google shopping but I personally think you should look in to other competitors and see if you can get the estimated data. Increasing your bid is also a good idea. Another reason why you might be getting less clicks is because of the quality of images…. Make sure you are using high quality images and to the point product titles.
I believe the best way to learn this game is to try and test stuff on continuous basis.
Hope this helps!

Approximate costs of keywords in Google AdWords
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to go about getting some approximate costs for keywords through Google Adwords to assist my SEO efforts. I don't want to open an AdWords account, just looking for costs. If the pricing is too high then the opened account was a waste of time. So if anyone has any resources to find out this information, that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Google Merchant Shopping - UK Mainland Shipping
Hi Guys, I am setting up my first Google Merchant account. As it's only a couple of products to start, I am doing this manually rather than a xml feed, and got to shipping. If it is free shipping for UK mainland but different for scottish isles, scottish highlands and Northern Ireland, how do I reflect this? What values do i use to suggest free shipping for UK Mainland and give different values for the others? Regards Neil

Question regarding Google Adwords?
Just had a question regarding Google Adwords. I have an e-commerce store (kiwimodfurniture.com) in the furniture niche and I originally was planning to create a different ad group for each product. Since I have 1300 products I would have 1300 ad groups. However a lot of the products don't have enough search volume and Google won't display my ads. Then I decided to get a bit more broad. I plan on having an ad group for each sub category on my website. For example, modern lounge chairs, modern arm chairs, modern sofas, etc. Question: Is this too broad? Will the ROI be terrible because of this? Thanks!

Why doesn't exact match appear to be working for me in Google AdWords tool?
Hi guys, I recently read Rand's article here and tried out the exact match symbols on my keywords. However, these don't appear to be working for me as the results aren't showing up as they do in the above SEOmoz article (attached screenshot). What am I doing wrong?

Google PPC - coupon balances
So, I know that you can't simply transfer a coupon credit in Google AdWords to another account. My question, if anyone knows, is there a way to do this using My Client Center? We manage multiple accounts, and have another coming on board that has a pre-existing coupon credit. We were going to set up a new account (which we would handle billing for and just invoice) for the client. But, that would leave them unable to use a coupon code. If it's managed under MCC, is there a way to work around this?

Adsense and e-shops.To do or not?
I own a furniture e-shop with 240K pageviews per month. Should I put Adsense to gain some more money? Or it would drive my customers away? I see many e-shops using Adsense advertising. Is there a good reason not to use it ?

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....
