Factors affecting ROI from SEO and paid search “ Recession/credit crunch leading to less people looking to buy things.” “ We're really feeling the pressure - our budgets are getting smaller and smaller, so we are not able to outsource any of our search activities to specialist providers. Therefore, the search work isn't managed as well as it could be.” “ Cost of clicks is now approaching the cost of custom building landing pages making SEO more cost effective.” “ For SEO, difficulty tracking (our issues with tagging) and in PPC the high cost of 'generic/non-branded' terms when matched to our conversion rates.”

| Course Title | Search engines

Search engines used for paid search ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Growth (since 2008)

Effectiveness of particular search engines “ Google is massively dominant. The others aren’t worth the effort at all for us.” “ Yahoo is cheaper but the quality is poor, whereas, Google has become more expensive with tighter competition but the quality has remained the same.” "Google is head and shoulders above the rest. Yahoo is falling behind. Live is very distant third - mainly used by people who can't figure out how to change default search engine (who are unlikely to purchase our products)." “ I have always seen Yahoo as having very high impressions and low CTR and low conversions, Microsoft as having very low impressions but high CTR and conversions, and Google being a nice middle ground.”
