Adwords coupons
-
I have a bunch of $300 free adwords spend coupons (must spend $100 & only new accounts) . If any body wants to become more of a t-marketer and play with ppc , Just comment in the post.
I would also love to hear how people are using t-marketing to enhance seo.

Agreed.
Also: PPC is often used as a substitute for an overall SEO/Marketing strategy...instead of a component of an overall strategy.
It's best to turn down potential clients who think PPC can do it all, IMHO and experience.

We find that ppc is a great service to offer but it does have a high churn rate the secret is to only take clients you think you can perform for.

I just spoke to an SEO person who applied for a position at our company. He previously worked at a PPC company. His experience was that:
For every 1,000 calls (and they were used a fairly qualified telemarketing list of companies), 10-20 people would agree to a web demo (about 1%). Of those that viewed the demo, about 10% converted into a paying customer (six month contract). So, probably 1-2 new clients from 1,000 calls. If you spend 5 minutes per call (to quickly look at their website), that's 83 hours of time to make 1,000 calls. At $15 per hour (roughly $30k per year), that's $1,245 to bring in a new client or two each week. Given the size of a contract, it might be worth it though...
But to me, it seems like quite a grind. He said they struggled, especially to keep motivated and positive, and about 20% of customers churned after their initial 6 month contract was up.
I've heard of telemarketing success from companies targeting specific vertical industries, like dentists or doctors, but usually with low-cost "packages."
I haven't found telemarketing to be particularly effective for higher-end SEO consulting... but that's my experience.
Love to hear from others who have heard more, or have "cracked the code" on how to make this work

Setting a total monthly spend limit for the Adwords account
Hi, I manage a number of campaigns and even though I keep an eye on daily budget based on our monthly budget, I freak out thinking we would waste a lot more money accidentally. Is there a way how I can set a cap for the whole Adwords account so I will not go over, even if I leave daily campaign budgets on crazy amounts? Thanks. Regards, Katarina

Does anyone know if there are any adwords guideline restrictions against naming a product with the term "Clinically Proven?"
If you do a search for something like "protein powder" there are the sponsored ads where you can shop. Does anyone know if there are any guidelines against naming a product with "Clinically Proven." For example, "Clinically Proven Protein Powder." Any guidance, insight, or links helping to answer this question would be appreciated.

Adwords & Analytics Different Product Listing Results
Hi We have recently set up a Product Listings ad campaign via AdWords and have seen some impressive initial figures in our AdWords account. However, when viewing data from the same period in Analytics it shows completely different statistics. For example, from 1st-16th June, AdWords shows 604 clicks and 29 conversions from our Product Listings campaign but Google Analytics only shows 23 clicks and 0 conversions across the same period. Any ideas why these variations show? Is there any additional tracking code that needs to be inserted at all? Thanks

Does anyone else get a crazy amount of misdials to your AdWords call extension?
Not sure how many people here also do PPC, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Since we added a call extension to one of our AdWords campaigns a few months ago, we have gotten a crazy amount of misdials/wrong numbers. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Here's what happens: We choose one of the numbers we own, say 888-123-4567, and set it up so it displays ADWORDS on the phone's screen when it rings. This way, our customer service and sales reps will know when they are taking an AdWords call. We type that number into the call extension settings. AdWords then assigns a different number to us, which will appear on our ads and forward to our number. Say it's 888-234-5678. Then for months, every "ADWORDS" call we get is someone trying to reach a different company at 888-234-5679 or 888-235-5678. In other words, the number they're trying to dial is one digit off from the number AdWords assigned to us. When we first reported this to AdWords before Christmas, they simply assigned us a new number. It did not help. Now we just get misdials for different companies. So are we alone in this wrong-number phenomenon?

Adwords Quality Score and On-Page SEO
I'm trying to convince a large, multinational company that is very resistant to change, into making my on-page SEO changes. Compounding this resistance is the fact that the Analytics, SEO, PPC, and web dev departments are all under different people and they don't communicate very well. So, in order to get them to work together, I've decided to appeal to the places where they are sensitive; e.g., the PPC department where they surely have the desire to be more efficient with their budget. To appeal to this sensitivity, and with my goal of getting on-page changes done to help the SEO dept, I'm considering making the argument that my on-page changes will raise their quality score which will in turn lower the amount they are spending on PPC. Basically, is this a fair argument? Do you have an evidence to back this up? Best in the Midwest, Phil p.s. Hi, Joanna 😉
