Does Anyone have tips or resources for Adwords Re-targeting Campaigns?
-
Hey everyone,
I have a retargetting campaign with a 0.09% CTR, a 1.04% conversion rate, and a fairly high Cost per conversion. I was wondering if anyone has any tips, resources, ideas, etc. as to how to improve our campaign?
Links to external resources would be great.
Thank you!

I Agree With john you need to make it into separate adgroups or campaigns to control it also consider making analtic goals a conv metric
-
If you have only 1 ad group, does that mean you're just retargeting people that came to your site? Or you're using all those retargeting segments within one ad group? Break each of those into their own ad groups, so you can customize your bids and ad copy based on those segments.

Thanks John,
I actually have already added demographic targetting.
Here's a little more info though that might help...
- I only have one adgroup so far
- Waiting for graphic designer to create more banners
Any advice on adding additional adgroups? This is my first retargetting campaign sorry
-
Everything David said is great. A few other thoughts:
Remarketing lists with Google Analytics is pretty amazing. It'll let you create segments based on custom events and goals you have in your account.
If you're not happy with the performance and you have a good performing demographic for your site, try adding demographic targeting to your ad groups.
If you have Google reps, there are some exciting remarketing-related betas you can get into.
-
So cap your impressions you dont need the same people clicking a hundred times.
Also you can lower bids on list segments that aren't performing as well.
Its hard to say more without looking at it .
Ps. -look at your analytic metrics also
-
I am not capping the impressions
Yes I am running it on CPC
Yes we are using banners
Yes We are segmenting our lists
-
Are you capping your impr to 5 per campaign?
Are you Running it on cpc
Are you using banners?
Are you segmenting your lists?

Best Practices: Mobile & Desktop Ad Design for Adwords?
Is it possible to have Google Adwords display different page versions according to whether an advertisement will be displayed on a mobile or desktop device? We are a commercial real estate brokerage based in New York City. Most converting website use desktop rather than mobile. We are considering advertising on Google Adwords. Is it possible to have Google serve a more elaborate form of desktop landing page but have Google serve a stripped down version to mobile users? The stripped down version would be created using Instapage. From a technical perspective how would we create a more elaborate desktop version and have Google distinguish between the two? In our experience, mobile converts much less. How much less should we bid for keywords displaying on mobile? Thanks!

Adwords landing pages with no site links
Adwords best practices say to focus landing pages on conversions, with no navigational links to the rest of your website so they don't get distracted. However, now that Google Ads in the SERPs look so similar to organic results, visitors may click the ads instead of the organic result because that's what they see first. What is the risk of turning off these visitors who come to a landing page with a form, instead of a way to navigate through the rest of your site? Discussion question: Trade-offs between a form-focused landing page and providing navigation to the rest of the site?

SEM Campaign Reset
In 2016 we are doing a massive paid search reset (conversion point: a high involvement purchase), I wanted to get the community's feedback on how long it makes sense to run with our campaigns and make smaller tweaks, versus launching something new? So in other words, if we aren’t seeing the results we want with a campaign, at what point does it make sense to re-evaluate and end the campaign/trying something new instead of optimizing the existing campaign? In analytics, in most cases there didn’t seem to me much of a runout period on the conversion points, as conversions appeared to be happening within days.

Tracking Adwords Conversions for eCommerce ROI
I'm working with a rather large eCommerce customer who needs to be able to track their Adwords conversions for the purpose of determining the ROI of their Adwords campaigns. I've installed code from Google Adwords Conversions on their eCommerce page, but it doesn't seem to be calculating values correctly. Also, where would setting goals in Analytics come in to play if I'm trying to track the conversions of specific Adwords conversions?

Anyone have problems with over reporting from PPC?
Hi All, Hoping somebody can help me out with this...I am getting a lot of slack from my boss over this. So we use Marketo for landing page creation. I create unique landing pages for PPC so that people who come in via ppc are the only people that see these landing pages. I put the google adwords conversion code on the thank you pages of these pages. So User sees PPC add > clicks add and gets sent to a registration page > fills out reg page and gets sent to thank you page that contains conversion code. When I look in adwords, I am seeing that for this specific campaign that I had 15 conversions yesterday...in marketo I am seeing 0 conversions. I do not know which one to believe. Anyone have any ideas? Pat

Finding your competitors - for SEM and Adwords
Hi, I wish to understand how do we exactly compete against our competitors. Do you mean to say that I search for a set of keywords and if results show something else instead of my website these others become my competitors. Is that all? Do I have a tool to see who my competitors are and how can I compete against them? Please kindly advice

Re-designed website... how to increase organic traffic?
We re-developed our website (adboards(dot)com) around 6 months ago. This has in turn led to a downturn in sales/visits. We have managed to get visits/sales increasing steadily but not to the level of the previous site. Even though we believe the new site is (seems) much more friendly both for SEO and potential customers. We currently run a PPC campaign which seems to bring in steady sales, the problem seems to be our organic traffic and getting our keywords ranked higher. We have tried various methods for increasing our organic traffic including:- Keyword Analysis for our landing pages Backlinking: From various directories and industry related sites Googlebase submission Blog relating to industry news & products Any advise on which area we should be focusing on or any obvious errors you can see on the site would be greatly appreciated.
