Do only paid adwords appear in google shopping
-
Does anyone know if we have to have a paid addwords campain for our products to appear in google shopping.
We have a feed set up for google shopping.
We have addwords campaigns running for google.
But our products do not seem to appear in google shopping.
Any advise on how to get them there?

I totally agree. The conversion on my campaign is sick! Mainly because we always appear cheaper next to the big box stores, they have to charge sales tax and shipping, we don't. It definitely is worth every penny and every minute of time it takes to manage it.

Thumbs up for Monica answer.
I can only add in my experience google shopping campaigns are worth every cent. CPA is yummy.

Google shopping doesn't run off of key terms at all. It runs off of the attributes of your products. You have to create a shopping campaign in Google AdWords in order for your products to be displayed. The products are submitted to merchant center, then you add them to a shopping campaign in Adwords. Here is a video with instructions. Make sure that you are starting with high bids and budgets. This is the best way to get a large amount of data in a short amount of time.
You will want to frequently check your search terms by going to the keywords tab, hitting details, and under search terms, select all. The only way to control your campaign is with negative keywords. Adding keywords to the ad groups WILL NOT matter. (I had to learn this the hard way) I set up each of my products in its own ad group in order to better determine CTR, what my CPC should actually be and negative keywords. This was the most effective way for me to do it. Some of my products ended up being grouped together in one ad group because I have over 1000 products in Google Shopping. I tried to minimize it as much as possible.
If you need help with this, just give Google a call. They are super helpful with setting up these campaigns and ad groups.

in short - yes, this used to be a free channel until about 18 months ago and drove a lot of traffic however that traffic is still there and more (now its in the SERPs) you just got to pay for it and its quite expensive for certain keywords.

Hi,
Here I am providing you few checkpoints either of them could be reason for not showing your products in Google shopping.
(1) google may sometimes take 24-72 hours or so
before a properly processed data-feed can be seen
within the adwords account; the feed must be valid.(2) be certain a product_type attribute is submitted
using plain text and > separated taxonomy data ; e.g.
Toys > Wagons

shopping-campaigns use product-groups to create groups of
items to assign bids.

Hope this helps

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".

Google Shopping Feed being blocked by robots.txt
I had created a manual Google Shopping Feed that was working fine, and then someone well meaning put a block in my robots.txt file so Google couldn't read the images folder. because of this, Google now won't accept my feed. I changed the robots.txt file to allow them to read the images again, but it's been 3 days now and I'm still getting the error saying my products are disallowed because the robots.txt file won't let them scan for images. Does anyone know how long it will take for Google to see it again?

How to Preserve Capitalization of Specific Letters in AdWords?
I've used dynamic keyword insertion variations in Google Adwords, but here's one that's a bit tricky and I'm starting to think the only way to do it is to create a unique campaign group for this keyword without DKI to pull it off. Trying to dynamically insert the keyword actiNOS, but see no way to over-ride DKI in the campaign for this term. Any ideas or suggestions, or do I need to create a separate adgroup without DKI for this term?

PPC Adwords Trademark Protection
Hi Wheres the form for filling in/registering your brand with Google for trademark protection in adwords ? I can only find an infringement/complaint form, which given no one currently infringing i imagine will be pointless filling it in. I understand its possible to register trademark with Google in the first place If someone can direct me to the exact page will be much appreciated ? Many Thanks Dan

Google Shopping Best Practices
We have a google shopping feed setup for an existing ecommerce website. We now have a new unrelated ecommerce website and want to setup a google shopping feed for that website. Is it best to add that feed to the same adwords account as the previous website or to create an entirely new adwords account login for the new site?

Doing Google Places for customer - best solution?
I work at a media agency in Denmark and I'm trying to open a Google Places-account for one of our retail-customers which is to be linked to the customers AdWords-account. I created a Places account and via bulk upload I submitted the customers 74 locations. I was then asked to verify my bulk upload, which I did. That's two weeks ago, and I've tried to get help from our Google contact but to little avail. Could the problem be that I am doing the places account on behalf of our customer, and thus when I am asked to verify the upload I supply my own information (contact phone and business name) rather than the customers? Have any of you had a similar experience? Is there an alternate path I can take to solve this?
