Adwords budget for different days of the week
-
We operate a Google Adwords campaign that clearly performs better conversion wise on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays ... What is the best way to stack a higher daily budget on specifc days in Adwords - There doesn't appear to be any formal way of doing this and the advice online is mixed...
-
Totally agree Roger, that setting is only good for those humongous campaigns with tons of data points. To circumvent the issue, for smaller campaigns I sometimes:
Start/run campaign entirely on basic/default settings. Even ad rotation. Days. Bids. Everyything. No smart anything. Everything bare bones basic, as if I were dealing with the Adwords interface from pre 2005. Then once enough data has collected I automate things one by one. Nothing beats the pure raw data in the beginning to give a better picture.

Great suggestions Pashmina. I would definitely go with number 1, this should be able to do exactly what you want since you can set the ad scheduling to 0 on days you don't want.
I would hesitate to automate it by telling Adwords to optimize for conversions. I haven't had good luck with this in the past and it take a while for Google to get a handle on what converts and what doesn't, so you might have terrible ROI for a few weeks.
-
I can think of several things you could do, and depending on your campaigns, one or a combination of these could work for you:
- Change the Ad Schedule settings and use "Bid Adjustment" to be more/less for desired days.
- Change your Ad Delivery settings to Optimize for conversions. Let Google naturally automate this for you.
- To create a hard daily budget for each set of days, run two separate campaigns with specific days in the settings. (I don't actually recommend doing this unless the other settings don't help you accomplish what you're looking for.)

How do you guys deal with product description and titles in PLA for different variation products?
Hello guys!
Paid Search Marketing | | Sorin_T
I have to say that I have been browsing, reading, learning and so on Moz for a long time now, and when I had a question to ask I was scared of askings so I don't look stupid but since I've asked my first question a few weeks ago and got a really helpful answer that helped me to no longer think like that. Therefore here is my question: What is the best way of writing product description and titles on Google PLA for product variation? Let's say you have a rope for example which come in different diameter and colour. Right... The title yes it should include variation such as Brand Size Model Colour Other Attributes on each individual product title but the question is .. does to description has to be different for each product so that you also include the attributes for the given product variation? I hope someone out there will understand my question and come up with a good answer. Thank you!0 -
Can a third-party advertising agency lock me out of Adwords?
Hey all, I've just started at a new company. We spend quite a bit on Adwords and I'm tasked with seeing how that is going and assessing that spend. The problem is, Adwords and Youtube ads have been given to a third-party advertising agency. They are only willing to share the number of clicks, cost and conversions, stuff like that. They refuse to give us access to the account. Is this legal? I mostly want to get in there to look at keyword history, see what we have bid on, how often it was searched, stuff like that. But they won't let us in and I'm wondering if they are required to let us look at our account as I would think they are. Please help!

How to track in Google Analytics 2 different subdomains (one for website, the other for PPC landing pages)
Hello Mozers! I have a website with organic visits/goals on www.site.com and a few AdWords Campaign landing pages on lp.site.com whose goals are tracked with both adwords conversion monitoring AND analytics (not imported from analytics into Adword). The landing pages of the campaign have nothing to do with the web site (different cms, they don't link each other, totally isolated) and viceversa. Given that, what would it be the best practice to configure Google Analytics to track the website (www.site.com) AND a PPC campagin (lp.site.com)? I have been told to set up different views of the same property, but do I really need that? Please let me know what are you thinking. Thank you very much. DoMiSoL Rossini

AdWords & Iframes?
We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains. They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages. The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign? Thanks!
