PPC landing page cannibalizing the Organic page's juice?
-
I have a PPC campaign pointing to a custom landing page.
I also have a different webpage for the same product that is optimized to rank organically (on the same site).- Should I noindex the PPC landing page so it doesn't steal the thunder from my organic webpage?
- If so, does noindex damage the adwords quality score?
- Should I just give the PPC landing page a different Title tag that doesn't cannibalize my organic page and call it a day?
- Does a PPC landing page need a title tag for a better adwords quality score?
Thanks!

yes no-index all ppc landing pages, so they wont impact your seo.
You should keep meta title relevant to the ad group/keywords, as this will slightly impact your quality score. However remember that quality score is primarily based on click thru rate...very little of your quality score comes from text ads or landing page relevancy. My AdWords rep told me that if I have the keyword in the text ad, meta title, and a few times in the page content, you are good. After this, just focus on click thru rate.

Hey, I will second this opinion here.
Definitely no-index your landing page if it is not for a search engine audience & ensure you keep the content of the page consistent as that will have an impact on page relevance and quality score.
Think consistent messaging from keyword to advert copy to landing page.
Hope that helps

I believe no index is a good option and in my practices I haven’t seen the quality score changes due to no-indexing of the page.
I would highly recommend not changing the title tag to add something irrelevant as title tag have a direct impact on quality score!

Organic and Paid
HI Guys, For one of my site we have been investing a less in Paid and since we have done that the Organic has gone quite up. I know there is a connection between the two but i would like to know if any of you can share their experience on this matter. I would like to know if someone has a run some experiements to understand how much each channel influences the other. It goes without saying that Paid tend to cannibalize a bit of organic but when it goes down, should i really expect an increase in organic? Any thoughts? Thanks

PPC Long tail keywords
I was wondering feedback and input on creating long tail keywords associated with a question. With addition a landing page that addresses that problem with a few products. Using PPC to bid on long tail keywords, I would set a campaign for long tail keywords and have multiple ad groups with a close knit and similar sentences like "Top 10 highest rated summer dresses" and "Popular dresses for the summer weather." My landing page would address the question with a list of products like a buzz feed article format. 1. As it is on a subdomain blog with an add to cart feature, would interlink building be helpful in exchanging link juice. 2. Bidding on a long tail keyword is cheaper, but will they result in higher conversions since its hyper-specific question? And since it is a long tail keyword sentence. 2-3 smaller keywords between the sentence would also pick up on to Google search?

Has anyone seen a recent study on % of clicks on Adwords vs Organic results?
HI, I am trying to find out what percentage of people click on organic search results on Google versus the percentage of people who click on advertisements. I have found many references online to studies that supposedly say 70-80% of clicks go to organic results and the rest go to ads, but I have never seen an actual study claiming this, let alone a recent one. Can anyone help? many thanks in advance, Annemieke

Google PPC Management
Okay, so I have a client who wants me to manage their ppc on Google. It seems like either they give me access to their PPC account or I manage it via my own account and pre-bill for the cost, later supplying reports. Are those the two options? Thanks...MJ

Have you seen a correlation in between running a PPC campaing and increased SEO ranking for a new site (< 3 months old)?
I have read many conflicting articles on this topic. I understand that running a PPC campaign at a launch phase of a site can get a lot of insights such as exact traffic patterns etc. But the question is: is there a correlation or not with increased rankings position for new site as search engine are forced to crawled that given landing page to give your ad a score? Thanks in advance for your answers and opinion
