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!
This answers all your questions... please let me know if you need more help regarding this!

How to find a good PPC firm
Hi guys, I'm completely new to PPC. I want to hire a firm to help drive PPC traffic to credit card landing pages. Our starting budget is limited ($2,000/month for everything) but can grow to about $5,000 if we see results. My questions are: Where can I find a list of good PPC firms that fits my vertical (credit cards) and budget? What are the key questions I should ask a PPC firm before I hire them? Is there a "Beginner's Guide to PPC" type of whitepaper, ebook, article, or course I can take to educate myself? Thanks in advance!

Could longtail keywords really produce up to 80% more organic traffic long-term?
I was listening to a podcast on site visibility's website and they were discussing www.hittail.com which is a piece of software which analyzes lists your
Paid Search Marketing | | whitbycottages
visitor stream in real-time and provides actionable list of precisely which
keywords the website should be targeting to dramatically grow your organic
search traffic using long tail key words. The say they can come up with a list of long tail keywords which the
website could easily rank for hopefully straightaway in the top five positions
on Google and other search engines by creating a blog post are some relevant
content. Or you could use the information to form some anchor text links etc They say it's possible to produce up to 80% more traffic organically
once you are aware of which keywords are being overlooked by the website and
then produce the relevant content. The theory is that most people focus on the high traffic short tail
keywords and overlook the long tail keywords and I got to admit I actually fall
into that category unfortunately. Anybody uses particular website? And what is your experience of targeting the
longtail keywords have they produce good results ?0 -

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?
