Adwords budget for different days of the week
-
We operate a Google Adwords campaign that clearly performs better conversion wise on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays ... What is the best way to stack a higher daily budget on specifc days in Adwords - There doesn't appear to be any formal way of doing this and the advice online is mixed...
-
Totally agree Roger, that setting is only good for those humongous campaigns with tons of data points. To circumvent the issue, for smaller campaigns I sometimes:
Start/run campaign entirely on basic/default settings. Even ad rotation. Days. Bids. Everyything. No smart anything. Everything bare bones basic, as if I were dealing with the Adwords interface from pre 2005. Then once enough data has collected I automate things one by one. Nothing beats the pure raw data in the beginning to give a better picture.

Great suggestions Pashmina. I would definitely go with number 1, this should be able to do exactly what you want since you can set the ad scheduling to 0 on days you don't want.
I would hesitate to automate it by telling Adwords to optimize for conversions. I haven't had good luck with this in the past and it take a while for Google to get a handle on what converts and what doesn't, so you might have terrible ROI for a few weeks.

I can think of several things you could do, and depending on your campaigns, one or a combination of these could work for you:
- Change the Ad Schedule settings and use "Bid Adjustment" to be more/less for desired days.
- Change your Ad Delivery settings to Optimize for conversions. Let Google naturally automate this for you.
- To create a hard daily budget for each set of days, run two separate campaigns with specific days in the settings. (I don't actually recommend doing this unless the other settings don't help you accomplish what you're looking for.)

Adwords Ad disapproved - Banned product on Site (glutamine)?
We are starting to get ads disapproved. One yesterday, one today. The reason - banned supplement 'glutamine'. Neither of these ads were for glutamine so I assume it's because l-glutamine is sold on the site. The actual ad for l-glutamine landing on the l-glutamine page has not been disapproved? In 2012 Google informed us the glutamine was no longer on the banned list so I'm not sure what's going on here? Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there a solution apart from removing the product entirely?

Adwords and Analytics Conversion Tracking within Adwords
I am trying to decide whether to setup conversion tracking in Adwords using the website/page as a source, or Analytics. I do understand the (basic) difference, however in tossing up the pro's and con's of each I would be grateful for some input. The advertiser is in the (offline) retail and service industry and so conversions being tracked include completing a form, making a booking etc - so it is no problem to implement the tracking snippet. My gut instinct is that Analytics is not as accurate as a reflection as the webpage (due to the way it records only the last conversion). Would it be a mistake to use both? (my concern is that double clicks will be recorded)

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking - Recording Wrong Page
Hi Guys I have a problem with my Google Adwords conversion tracking. Basically whenever I check to see which page it is recording, it shows me the incorrect one. Now I probably checked a thousand time now and the conversion tracking code is not on this specific page, but is on the one that I really want to track. I have also checked that the code is correct and that there is nothing missing. But strangely enough when I look at historical data, it does show that is was tracking conversions on the correct page, but for some reason the past couple of weeks it's reporting conversions from another page, which is the incorrect one. If somebody could please give me some insight as to what could maybe be the cause of this, I would appreciate it. Thank You Dave

Adwords Confusion - Where are these clicks coming from?
Ok, I posted two images showing that my Google Adwords search settings are to receive clicks only from google's search engine, as we are doing testing on keyword behavior with a few specific keywords. The second image will show that we have somehow 7 total search clicks, but not for any of our specific keywords. I'm confused. . . and hungry. . . I'm 'confungry'. 😉 jk any thoughts are welcomed. search-1.jpg search-2.jpg
