Science Behind Google Adwords: 5 best Practices

  /     /  


The above infographic  had been posted at   search Engine Land , and originally this infographic was from  Pulpmedia , and illustrates some of the many moving parts like this within AdWords.

Merely paying more money does  not ensure you a good listing. However  if you were to pay much more, unless your CTR ( call to Click) do  not increase your ad rankings will not come up, This is because Google Adwords uses 1)  quality Score of the page along with CTR to  calculate which site should come for corresponding keywords
A good “Quality Score” gives an edge to advertisers, even if they aren’t the highest bidder. “Ad Extensions” mean that ads can show pictures, maps, ratings  and more

Top 10 Paid Search Properties where US Brands Spends Most

  /     /  

         
Search marketing, Paid search is among the most frequently used online marketing  tactics where US Brands spends the Most.

The Latest annual findings from Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) and Econsultancy indicate paid search marketers are increasingly turning to PPC advertising on social media channels to complement traditional search engine placements.

More than half (52%) of companies worldwide vouched for the “moderate” or “huge” impact social media has had on their search engine marketing programs within the last year.

Add that to the growing number of social media channels offering a PPC advertising model, and it’s no wonder 47% of North American companies are running PPC campaigns on Facebook, and more than a quarter (27%) are doing so on LinkedIn. In addition 18% of companies are PPC advertising on YouTube, and 15% on Twitter.

Although these percentages are dwarfed by those of North American companies advertising on Google and Bing/Yahoo!, major search engines aside, it’s clear companies prefer PPC advertising on social media channels to smaller engines like AOL and Business.com.
