Is there anyone else here seeing a very high rate of bad traffic coming from Adwords? My sales have been down since September but my spend is 300%! WTF! I will have one good day in Adwords followed by a series of bad days and the cycle repeats itself. On bad days the people visit the site and view maybe one or maybe two pages and leave. This is not normal traffic and looks like bots, but no abnormal bot activity has been found after examining my logs.
Did you try to find some patterns in these fluctuations? Did you check your keywords? What KW brings most conversions? Try to see, maybe you got new competitor and he got your CPC skyrocketing. If you need a Certified Google partner to manage your AdWords accounts PM me. Regards.
Are you using Search only or Display as well for Ads? Are you using a Negative keyword list? Is your target audience global or local? Research your stats on day/time of day traffic figures. This might give you insight on patterns and if ads need to be adjusted.
I am also experiencing the same thing...... I have started one real estate campaign......before 15 days . first 10 to 12 days there were good no of leads i.e 31 but last 3 to 4 days there is only 1 leads and the Adword Money is Draining Out. I did not change any thing in campaign..... the campaign is as it like 15 days before. Can some body have any idea about this... please share
I am experiencing the same thing, my account http://www.venezafurniture.in has been with adwords for some time. however lately I am seeing a pattern of users coming to the home page , going to the second page and leaving , all within a span of 2-3 seconds.. there seems to be someone who is deliberately doing this. earlier used to get these from spain , russia etc. after blocking them it was fine for sometime , but its local now. how do i stop this?
