Suppose I have a adwords campaign, with an adgroup targetting the broad match term "cell phones".

Is it possible to get metrics on the exact keywords users have used to create ad impressions, clicks or conversions for that campaign?

Many thanks

Yes you can see this in two places:
1. Within Adwords you can go to the keywords tab and there will be a button directly above your list called "See search terms".
2. In analytics go to Traffic Sources >> Adwords >> Keywords. Then if you look at the drop down in the second column that currently has "none" selected you can chose "matched search query" and that will show you as well

Reasonable Cost for Adwords PPC Set Up?

What is a reasonable cost to set up Adwords Campaign? This would include keyword research, set up of Adwords, set up re-marketing banners, creative and coding landing pages using Instapage. Lets say there are 3 ad groups and two landing pages per add group. Assuming the vendor is highly experienced and located in the United States, what is a fair price? $700, $1,000, $1,500? How about for the monthly management of the campaign? Let's assume advertising budget is $3,000. Is $500 per month reasonable, $800, $1,000? I do not want to over pay not under pay and am trying to determine a cost which is fair to both of us. Answers should be based on a US based vendor with native English and extensive experience with PPC. Thanks, Alan

Better use Google Analytics? This is for Conversion Rate Optimization purposes

Hi Moz-ers, I've had much help from the Moz community and hoping you can help me out on this one too. I would like to track everyone who visits our town listing pages. We operate much like ratings and reviews websites like tripadvisor and booking.com. What is the best way to track visitors coming to our listings pages only (for example tripadvisor shows top 10 hotels in London.) I would like Google Analytics on London and all other towns including Birmingham, Southampton ect... Is it possible to set up Google analytics to track this? These are our highest volume pages so having an idea of the traffic behaviour is crucial for SEO and Conversion Rate Optimization. As usual, looking forward to the advice we receive! Thanks,
Eric

Has anyone ever used Adwords' Forwarding Numbers as a Call Tracking Service?

Hi, I was taking over a client's Adwords account from a previous agency. It appears the former agency added the Google Forwarding Number (for call tracking on call extensions) and added it to the client's website. Therefore, if anyone calls that number from the website, it would register within Adwords (just not as a conversion but as a click under "call extensions") The problem: you can't filter by phone number (the same number calling +1 would indicate spam) you can filter by device (so tablet / computer) can be considered spam generally. Questions: Anyone ever used this before? Your thoughts? Does anyone know if there is spam coming from mobile devices now-a-days? Please tell me what I'm missing. Any advice / anyone else seen this / done this? Thanks Moz Community, Cole

How can I find the redirect that removes special parameter from Adwords?

My main problem is Google Analytics doesn't show data from Google Adwords because a redirect in my site removes the special parameter(gclid) supplied by Adwords. Here's an email from one of Google Adwords representative: "When I reviewed your website, I found that a redirect set up on your site is removing auto-tagging information from your URLs. Auto-tagging automatically adds a parameter to the end of each of your AdWords destination URLs in order to identify visitors as AdWords referrals. The tag captures keyword, campaign, ad content information, and your ad's position when a user clicked it. The parameter used in auto-tagging is called "gclid." However, due to your website's redirect, the "gclid" parameter is being removed from the URL. As a result, Google Analytics is unable to properly track visitors reaching your site through AdWords. We suggest contacting your webmaster to append the "gclid" parameter to the redirected URL. If this isn't possible, you may want to consider removing the use of the redirect." Thanks in advance!

User Friendliness Bible: Has it been published yet?

I started with that intriguing title because that's all i've got. What I mean is, I don't know the exact topics that I am looking for. Anyways, here's the shindig. I was just replying to a nice new member to SEOmoz, and he asked if he should set up his 3 sites in 3 separate campaigns. I was telling him about the different number of keywords that comes with each respectable price, so I had to log out to be sure. Low and behold, not only did SEOmoz not kick me to a "You have been logged out" page (basically, it allowed me to continue, un-interrupted, and finish my thoughts), but it also did something MUCHHH better. LOL i'ma little giddy about it even. So, I typed a fun little response, added my links, and whatnot, and FORGOT that I had logged out to check the prices. Well, when I logged back in and clicked reply again, all of my text showed up in the editor (as a draft). I am wondering, what is the action of trying to think of cool ways to improve your site called? User Friendliness Optimization? User Engagement Optimization? User's Enjoyment of Using Your Site Optimization? ----insert metaphorically cloudy line here-------- Conversion Rate Optimization? At some point it does overlap with Conversion Rate Optimization, but either way, does anybody know of any cool tips to make people "enjoy" their time on your site more?

Adwords Question

Hi, Not your standard SEO question, but I need expert advice all the same! I am looking to set up an adwords campaign to track several things. I need to track the initial page the click lands on from the PPC advert I then need to track this click to see if they click to register on the site I then need to track if they fill out the registration form and complete The aim of this is to measure just how many people click the PPC advert, then drop off the site as they go through the sign up process. Can this be done on adwords PPC tracking with the code adwords generates? and if not has anyone done something similar? many thanks all!
