i ran into the same problem
i now use shopperapproved and they're quite cheap (http://www.shopperapproved.com/pricing.php)
you can email customers a link, put javascript code on your thank you page so that they get a customer survey and then they get emailed a request to do a full survey later on
plus you can feed it to google
Thanks, David.
I do have some sites that has country level targeting (.com.au and .co.uk) which are ranking in Google.com as well as Google UK & Google Australia.
I thought what you meant was that I wouldn't lose the UK and Australian rankings if I switched off geotargeting
Did your rankings improve for Canada/US after you turned off targeting?
'drug rehab Lincolnshire' is coming at page 5 for me on Google.co.uk
The keywords aren't that competitive -- you should be able to rank them in the top 10.
A few comments:
I don't think the change to HTML is the only cause for your drop in rankings
The footer displays a bit funny for me on Chrome browser
There aren't many back links to your website and a lot of them are nofollows

You can create the report as is and then filter for conversions in excel
I would do pretty much what you're doing
I would also check and see who's paying money to advertise clickbank products via PPC
You can use tools like keywordspy for this
you can enable commerce tracking on bigcommerce

After you have set up analytics for your ecommerce, they can be used by adwords
Focus on great content marketing and don't go for the competitive keywords straight away.
Aim for the long tail, at first at least to see some results
In terms of social networking, are you at least allowed to share your content on social networks?
I think ReachLocal does this so they can control the pages and track analytics on their side.
I would check if there's a robots.txt file and see if indexing is disallowed
i've been using liquidweb's VPS server on the west coast and i've been really happy with them
someone here has posted that liquidweb's phone support isn't great but i haven't had to use it as their online support is fantastic and turnaround time has been better than anything else i've experienced before

Pay Per Lead.
Most agencies will charge as a percentage of spend which will incentivize them to spend more of your dough. That doesn't work well for you as a business owner.
If instead you are charged per lead, then an increase in spend means an increase in leads and more customers.
If you run a limousine business for example and the value per enquiry is $20, you can ask the company how much they would charge on a per lead basis. If they say $10, then you should try it out and see how well they convert.
This is the best way to make sure that you get a positive ROI on your spend and it reduces your risk as well as the amount of work you have to do screening for people that have no idea what they're doing. If they can deliver solid leads to you at a decent cost, then they know what they're doing and you get a win-win situation.
Good luck!
I run an education product.
I'm getting around 0.81% on the remarketing campaign over the last 30 days but conversion rates are crazy -- I'm getting triple the normal conversion rates.
I don't know if the CTR is a good one but compared to normal display campaigns where I get around 0.20-0.27%, it's a much higher CTR than what I usually get

Well 100 impressions is nothing. You need a lot more impressions to get some clicks. As John has suggested, try increasing your bids.
A retargeting campaign can certainly be successful with a compelling ad even if the small audience size is small
I have a client who wanted to say thank you to a list of 80 high value customers. So I cookied these customers and displayed thank you images as part of the remarketing campaign which got great feedback
