- 29. #thinkppc Keywords Duplicate Keywords The Mistake: If you are doing regular search query reports, you may be adding duplicate keywords to your account unintentionally. It might also be the case that you’ve inherited a messy account that already has duplicate keywords (or you’ve added them by mistake). The Repercussions: Keywords competing against each other and driving up CPCs. Queries triggering for ads you do not want

- Ad Rotation is how Google determines which ad to show at any given time. The options available are: optimize for clicks, optimize for conversions, rotate evenly, and rotate indefinitely. To get a better picture of how Google is showing your ads, enable the % Served column, and also take a look at overall click and conversion volume for your ads. In this example we are testing two ads against each other, but one has been shown 81% of the time!
- To fix this problem just change your Ad rotation settings within the campaign settings. You’re going to want to make sure you take a look at these settings in any of the three situations listed
- If your goal is to increase your overall reach and you just want as many impressions as you can get, bid only might be the way to go. This corresponds to the screenshot on the left, you can see that the estimated reach is way greater. If the goal of your display campaign is to advertise to a very targeted audience to gain conversions at a good CPA or conversion rate, target & bid is a good option.
- What happens here is that Google will save impressions for later in the day if your campaign is set to Standard, thus you could be missing out on valuable impressions that could lead to conversions. While standard delivery is probably a good idea if you’re capped by budget, but if you’re not (and ideally you’re not), you might test out switching to Accelerated. Google will show your ad whenever at all possible.
- *This common mistake stems from the idea that all performance is equal and that forgetting that seemingly identical performance can be the result of vastly different circumstances. *Not a back-breaker in and of itself but it could lead to potential problems later on. *The Mistake -Making bid changes to all good CPA keywords equally, making decreases on poor performing keywords in the same fashion. *The Repercussions -Introduce the opportunity for rapidly escalating CPCs without the prospect of increased performance +Especially bad if you have tight budgets and big budget competitors -Hamstring potentially good keywords that might have got off to a rough start -Could overlook opportunities for new keyword themes (miss what is really doing the work) with broad. Then have a highly over bid broad KW when you eventually pull those good terms out. Coud mess with a tiered bidding strategy *The Fix -Know why terms are performing the way they are before making changes. Do not have one size fits all bid strategies.

- You’ll want to QA your destination URLs carefully to ensure that your users aren’t going to a 404 page or a totally irrelevant page.
- Mention segmentation by match type. Might show up in more than one campaign in the reports. pay attention to targeting
