Any data for Google results page click through rates?
-
Hi.
Trying to find data for click through rate for the Google search results page?
If I run Adwords, do I want a PLA listing or a text listing? Or do I work on PLA + Organic or Text + Organic?
What percentages do each position get approximately?
E-commerce website. Technology sector.
Any help?

Hi,
As I said that there is no such data available in public domain. I would like to suggest you to start with search campaign only and to get high CTR use keyword in Ad headline, use call to action and don't forget to use Ad extensions.
***Initially use only restricted match type (Exact match Type) with few similar keywords in every Ad group . e.g 5-10 keywords.
Thanks

It depends on too many variables to give an accurate answer.
The only way to know for sure is to test. Set a reasonable test budget and run the campaigns.

What I mean is, if I have "X" product. And I want to start a PPC campaign, is there any data to tell me Text Ads perform generally better than PLA's?
Is there any data that shows that the top 3 text ads get 22% of the clicks, the PLA's get 30% of the clicks and organic gets 10% of the clicks?
Something like that.

Hi,
As you mentioned that you have eCommerce website then you should start with Search campaign & Google shopping campaign.
I don't understand this part "do I work on PLA + Organic or Text + Organic?"
"What percentages do each position get approximately?"
No body can tell you exact or even approx numerical CTR value because that varies for each websites and CTR depends on several other things e.g location setting, daily budget etc. You can only get idea by running Adwords campaign for your website.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Unsolved Google Ads Subdomain in sitelinks & Composition Change for Strategy Status
I have a basic query but could not find a definite answer on the internet. I am currently running a campaign for the main website of a big education brand and they also have a secondary learning website on subdomain, and I want to add sitelinks of subdomain to the campaign, but I am not sure whether it is allowed or not. The brand I am running ads for is https://www.rauias.com/ and the secondary website is https://compass.rauias.com/ branded slightly different in a subdomain, so should I add the sitelinks of Compass to the main campaign? Also one more silly question My Max Conversion search campaign gave me this status today. "Learning (composition change): Campaigns have been added to or removed from the bid strategy. Google Ads is now adjusting to optimize bids. 5 days left for learning" What does this mean exactly? And Why does it reenter the learning phase whenever I make a small change?

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 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!

I want to try some Google PPC ads on other sites but don't know what i'm doing.
We have seen a massive drop in traffic this year and i am contemplation using banner ads to try to increase sales and also to help with marketing. the problem is i know nothing about doing this. I have used it in the past but to limited success and i was just stabbing in the dark. I have a few questions. Am i better to target keywords related to the product or to the people who may buy my products? Is it better for direct sales or brand awareness? What kind of ROI can i expect if i get it working well? Is it better to pay for the big keywords or pic all the low hanging fruit? Does it work? Should i employ an expert, are they worth it? Any insights into the world of PPc would be a massive help.

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 Adwords Clicks v.s. Google Analytics Visits
Hi Guys, This question has been asked several times before but after doing some research, I haven't really found the right solution and/or explanation. I'm currently seeing a 30-50% discrepancy in Adwords Clicks and Analytics Visits, where there are more clicks than visits in most situations. E.g. 74,127 clicks v.s. 46,845 visits (34 add-to-carts, 67 initiated orders, and a revenue of $12,000). Can anybody in the forum help explain this? Thank you, Jurgen P.S. I've also looked at all the tracking codes and everything seems to be alright, I've checked if any internal redirects are stripping off parameters but to no avail. Lastly, I'm not sure if this is a behavioral issue here in SEA--will first click (Adwords) and last click attribution (Analytics) be the only explanation? P.S.S. I'm seeing the same discrepancies with Facebook ads and Analytics.
