I do not think you are wet behind the ears... Obviously you have a working strategy, I just think what you first said is not completely accurate. But then again thats just my opinion... I see and I agree there are many phonies on this site who give bad advice... Again, that is what keeps me coming back and why I try to give out the best advice I possibly can.
there may be some common reason: 1. Bad keyword means huge keyword list 2.bad landing page. 3.some popular niche. insurance,morgage etc..have very competion. 4. many are using free adword credits..sothey spend more as they want.
Hello.... I have a Doubt if I'm in compliance whith the Operations agreement. This is the portion of the operations agreement: "aStore by Amazon Link: You may provide a link on your site that links to a special Product detail page generated through your use of the "aStore by Amazon" tool. You may not use the aStore by Amazon Link as a stand alone website nor direct users to an aStore by Amazon Link by means other than a graphical or hypertext link on your site or by embedding the aStore by Amazon Link on your site. " I would like to know if this is the correct way to apply the Astore Amazon operating agreement rules. Please Review my Site is: http://asus-eeepc.shopstore.us/ Thank you
Fair comment Robert. To be honest we both probably have our own completely different systems and avoid following the crowd. Hey it works for us..... All the best my friend.
I personally set up a beginning campaign with 1 adgroup containing 2 ads (split testing) with a ton of keywords (i've got around 600 in my main 1 to stay fairly targeted to my niche). I set it in motion for a couple of weeks, and see what words are searchers are clicking on. I then take the keywords that were getting clicks and conversions, look those words up in the keyword suggestion tool, and make new adgroups and ads for each one set of keywords getting CTR, each adgroup having about 10-20 broad, phrase and exact match keywords (so 30-60 words all together). This allows me to target my ads and keywords together to get the highest CTR and conversion and target my ads towards those searchers. By doing this you should be able to lower your minimum bids. Don't forget to make sure your landing page has your keywords throughout the page. A 2-3% keyword ratio is optimal. So for a 800 word landing page, you would want 16-24 of your highest converting keyword sprinkled throughout the text for Google to index and consider it a relevant landing page. Hope that helps.
My market is so competative that I bid upwards of $6-7 for some keywords....I have to be #1 or #2. But when you r keywords are inactive and you have to bid a minimum of $5.....I thought this was because you do not have a high enough quality score/history. When launching a new campaign recently....I have to bid $5 on a bunch of words...well after a weeks time I was able to reduce the bids on these words.
