Track bounce rate per PPC keyword
-
Hi all
Wondering if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction with this please.
When running an adwords campaign is there a way in which one can track the bounce rate on the landing page per keyword sending paid traffic? I've had a play about in adwords and GA and couldn't find the right option.
The site I am sending traffic to is not a ecommerce site so cannot set up conversion tracking so we are going to monitor the bounce rates of different keywords and drop the ones which are bouncing much higher than others as it seems better to invest the budget in those words which are keeping people on the page for longer.
Many thanks

Many thanks for the reply. Yes, I have the GA and Adwords linked so set up the link. Slightly scared to notice 20% of the keywords were bouncing at 100%. Eeek!
Time to find me some new keywords I think!
Thanks again.

Do you have your GA & AdWords accounts linked? If so, you can import GA data into AdWords and vice versa. There is a "bounce rate" column that you can add into AdWords across the board, including at a keyword level... Not sure if that is exactly what you are looking for but hopefully that helps!

Not sure if there is a new method however I have successfully used the following in a similar situation:
On each AdWord Ad use the following destination URL format: yousite.com/?keyword={keyword}

Proper Landing Pages for PPC ads
One of our sites is for a local Promotional Products company that focuses on local big businesses to set up accounts with. We are trying to grow our customer base with this site through use of a PPC campaign, but are unsure of where to send them. We were thinking about a page with content about what we do and our contact information, or putting together videos with this information to send them to. Does anyone have any advice for a killer landing page that not only is good for getting conversions for promotional products through PPC, but also could get us organic traffic? Thanks in advance for the help!

Ideal product page conversion/retention rate for eCommerce sites
Hi SEOmoz-ers, I was wondering if anyone has data regarding product page abandonment rate (% of potential customers that leave the site after seeing product pages) for websites like Overstock, REI or Zappos? As you may know the above mentioned sites do an exceptional job with product pages. It would be helpful to know what some of the leaders in this space are achieving in terms of conversion rate. What is your personal opinion about this? Thanks,
