PPC - Fixing the campaign so ads always rank in positions 1 - 3
-
Hi everyone,
I have more of a SEO background than a PPC one so excuse me if this question seems simple. I have inherited a Google Adwords campaign and want to accomplish the following
Fix the campaign so the ads only appear in positions 1 – 3. The campaign came with a relatively good structure.
Is there some way I can fix the settings to accomplish this? Conversion rates are high but quality scores vary from 6 -10
Thanks

Hi Andy,
Unfortunately I do not use any 3rd party software programs. Thanks for the tip on positions 4 -10. I will look at the conversion rates before moving the ads up. What do you consider an acceptable overall quality score for an ad group?
Thanks
Carla

Hi
You have found the way using the Adwords interface. However are you just using the Adwords interface or have you got any other third party software like Double click etc.
Its very simple in software like that, you can add rules to say if not in position 1 -3 increase bids by 'x'% or x amount (I always go with a % increase personally).
I would check the ones you are pausing as sometimes being in position 4 - 10 on certain keywords actually convert quite well. I have one keyword that performs best in position 5 (I don't know why and can't explain it, but I am not going to change it).

And I know the links are not followed. I'm not trying to get exposure, it's just easier to let you see the video and the bullet points we touch on then type it all here from my mobile. Let me know if this helps! If you need more, I also can get our main PPC manager to chime in and help.

Gap in Google PPC Ads & Organic search results - New test by Google?
Hi All, Just noticed an unusual gap in PPC ads and organic search results in google NZ. while searched the same term in Google AU, it wasn't the same. Did anyone here see something similar? Is this a new test by Google to get more clicks on PPC ads and pushing down organic results? Looking forward to hear from the community. Cheers, Rattan wcB6DL1.jpg

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.

How long does it ramp up a PPC campaign?
I was speaking to a SEO the other day. He is going to be working on an ecommerce site soon. I was suggesting that he might want to augment his SEO efforts with PPC in order to be able to show some results in the near term, as it would most likely take some time for his SEO work to be showing results. His response was that while he hasn't utilized them as much, he's found that it can take 3-6 months to get a PPC campaign to really make money. I'm just curious if you guys feel that this is an accurate statement?
