Top 5 PPC Tips From PPC Agency

Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Matthew Phelan

1. Be Negative…

Negative keywords can help divert unwanted traffic, so you don’t appear for search terms that are not relevant to your product or service. This will help reduce costs and filter traffic which is unlikely to convert.

2. Be Relevant

Use the same keywords (in the same format) in your ad creative. Then make sure that keyword appears again on your landing page (again in the same format). This will mean your visitors will not lose the ’scent trail’ to finding what they want.

3. Organise your Keywords

When keywords are separated into the appropriate adgroups they can have a much more effective AdCopy. For Example: "Womens Denim" and "Womens Jeans" should be two different AdGroups. When keywords are grouped into appropriate adgroups the AdCopy will be more relevant to the keyword list and help you better track the results. This can also increase your quality score and ranking whilst keeping costs low.

4. Switch Off Content Match

When creating new campaigns on Adrowds or Adwords editor remember to switch off the content network. The content network can be deactivated from the campaigns level, click on the "settings" tab and under the Networks and devices column click through and un-tick the "content network".

5. Campaigns for Content

People that click on Content Ads are typically not searching for a specific product or service and are generally not in the mindset to convert. If you must be on the Content network, it is definitely best practice to create a separate campaign and dedicated adgroups. make sure to separate the AdGroups: One AdGroup for Search This way it is easier to track the performance from search and content of each campaign.When creating campaigns it is important to note that brand or competitor names, as keywords are ineffective and should not be used.

A ‘BOSS’ idea!

Monday, July 14th, 2008 by Blog Team

Search engine company Yahoo! announced today (10/07/2008) that it is launching a customised web search service that will allow third parties an ‘unprecedented level of access to Yahoo! search technology’.

The new ‘Build Your Own Search Service’, abbreviated BOSS, will give external sites the ability to re-rank and control the presentation of search results. Yahoo! has said that BOSS will enable ‘developers to blend Yahoo! Search results from Web, news and image indexes with any data source from across the Web’.

The service is an addition to the search engine provider’s ‘Open Strategy’, and builds upon other recent launches such as SearchMonkey. Yahoo! believes this latest project will help third parties to ‘deliver industry leading results’ without the cost incurred in building ‘Web-scale search experiences’.

In time Yahoo! hope to generate advertising revenue from the new search initiative. The firm is also working with top technological universities, and expects the service to help academics to research search engines in a way that was previously impossible.

Commenting on the launch, chief strategist for Yahoo! Search, Prabhakar Raghavan, has said that "BOSS opens up the playing field for developers and companies to disrupt the search market, become principals in search and build new Web search experiences that offer more choice for users." ‘Build Your Own Search Service’ is expected to shake up the market, possibly challenging the success of other service engines, such as MSN and Google.

A beta version of BOSS is now available as an API.
