Any data for Google results page click through rates?
-
Hi.
Trying to find data for click through rate for the Google search results page?
If I run Adwords, do I want a PLA listing or a text listing? Or do I work on PLA + Organic or Text + Organic?
What percentages do each position get approximately?
E-commerce website. Technology sector.
Any help?

Hi,
As I said that there is no such data available in public domain. I would like to suggest you to start with search campaign only and to get high CTR use keyword in Ad headline, use call to action and don't forget to use Ad extensions.
***Initially use only restricted match type (Exact match Type) with few similar keywords in every Ad group . e.g 5-10 keywords.
Thanks

It depends on too many variables to give an accurate answer.
The only way to know for sure is to test. Set a reasonable test budget and run the campaigns.

What I mean is, if I have "X" product. And I want to start a PPC campaign, is there any data to tell me Text Ads perform generally better than PLA's?
Is there any data that shows that the top 3 text ads get 22% of the clicks, the PLA's get 30% of the clicks and organic gets 10% of the clicks?
Something like that.

Hi,
As you mentioned that you have eCommerce website then you should start with Search campaign & Google shopping campaign.
I don't understand this part "do I work on PLA + Organic or Text + Organic?"
"What percentages do each position get approximately?"
No body can tell you exact or even approx numerical CTR value because that varies for each websites and CTR depends on several other things e.g location setting, daily budget etc. You can only get idea by running Adwords campaign for your website.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Unsolved Google Ads Subdomain in sitelinks & Composition Change for Strategy Status
I have a basic query but could not find a definite answer on the internet. I am currently running a campaign for the main website of a big education brand and they also have a secondary learning website on subdomain, and I want to add sitelinks of subdomain to the campaign, but I am not sure whether it is allowed or not. The brand I am running ads for is https://www.rauias.com/ and the secondary website is https://compass.rauias.com/ branded slightly different in a subdomain, so should I add the sitelinks of Compass to the main campaign? Also one more silly question My Max Conversion search campaign gave me this status today. "Learning (composition change): Campaigns have been added to or removed from the bid strategy. Google Ads is now adjusting to optimize bids. 5 days left for learning" What does this mean exactly? And Why does it reenter the learning phase whenever I make a small change?

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

How to change booking system in SERP for a Hotel Result
Hi, I was wondering how can I change the reservation system that appears in the SERP when someone search for a hotel. Now, the price that is showing is from booking.com. Of course the Hotel wants to use its own reservation system. How could I do that? If It's possible, of course. I have attached an screenshot so that you can see an example. Thank you. serp.jpg

What is the definition of 'Paid links' for Google ?
Many high authority sites are doing paid text linking and linking sites through 'Sponosred linking' sections, But, Google does not seem to be bothered. Just because they are already ruling the industry. Sponsored links are obviously not natural, they are absolutely paid, still Google is giving them priority that is why only people are paying huge for them. Please go through the website http://goo.gl/tgfH and see "Sponored link" section So, What actually Google considers as paid link? nNolr nNolr

Isn't a product page a Landing Page?
Before starting a new ppc campaign, I am working on making my site landing pages Relevant. I see some ppc experts suggest separate, noindex, landing pages. But aren't my dynamically generated product pages landing pages- They have a call to action "add to basket" button, a big photo, and orignal detailed conent- prodct description - below all that. Sometimes I would like to advertise we have a broad selection of a Vendor's line- so then my natural landing page is a categegory page with thumbnail photos and the call to action is clicking the photo or product name to go to the specific product page. Can an experienced adwords person help me understand this better? Do I really want/need to create seperate ppc landing pages? What would the difference be? Thanks as ever Handcrafter

Google Analytics and Adwords Tracking Codes
A site I help someone with in link building was recently redesigned. I do not have access to the site in any way. Well, after the redesign, no conversions were tracking in Adwords and Analytics ecommerce tracking showed no transactions and no amounts. I found the Analytics code and sent it to their programmer. I have linked the Adwords and Analytics accounts. So now conversions are tracked in Adwords and transactions are tracked in Analytics. However, amounts have vanished and not returned. I'm not technically savvy enough to figure this out. How do I get this Analytics code to track transaction amounts so that they appear in Adwords and in Analytics ecommerce tracking?

New v Returning in Google Analytics with Adwords
I am trying to figure out an issue with Google Analytics. What i am stumped on is I see traffic from AdWords coming in (accounts linked) and I see new v returning user. Does the return visit still show even if a user came back in via direct or organic? Or is it that these return visits are clicking on the ad again to come back as visits and clicks match in the reports?
