Who Are The Others? Google’s Frustrating Search Term Report
Do you ever feel like Google aren't telling you everything? Much like Jack Shephard in ABC’s hit TV show Lost, PPC folk have to spend a lot of time wondering about ‘the others’. I’m of course referring to this little gem from the ‘see search terms’ report: You can also find it happily in the Placements report: So what gives? What is Google not telling you about … [Read more...] about Who Are The Others? Google’s Frustrating Search Term Report
Facebook Ad As Publicity Stunt?
Red Bull has Felix Baumgartner and his 24-mile high, speed-of-sound sky dive, but Beta Brand has Fauxfu, the first “Vegetarian-Friendly Meat”: Two things I love about this ad: 1) The picture makes use of “non-existent functionality” by showing a play button over a static image. Even though this technically violates Facebook’s ad guidelines, it’s something I’ve … [Read more...] about Facebook Ad As Publicity Stunt?
Google Display and Placement Fraud – Is Your Money Being Wasted?
The Google Display Network is nearly the whole internet. If you're on auto targeting, even with some contextual keywords, it's going to get crazy. There's obviously always going to be click fraud, which is just like the click fraud you deal with in your Search Network campaigns. But, something I encountered for the first time recently was placement fraud. Now, I've seen MFA's … [Read more...] about Google Display and Placement Fraud – Is Your Money Being Wasted?

Why AdWords and Analytics Don’t Match
In PPC, we live and die by our data. We make recommendations, optimizations, additions, and subtractions all based on the analysis and interpretation of actionable statistics. Millions upon millions of dollars can hang in the balance based on every change we make. With stakes that high, then, it can be incredibly frustrating and/or terrifying when confronted with the idea … [Read more...] about Why AdWords and Analytics Don’t Match
Narcissism Isn’t Social: How To Engage With Your Audience
When social media was relatively new, I feared that it would undo a whole lot of my work. I had worked hard to get client companies to realize that it really wasn’t all about them. Most companies naturally gravitate towards we-language and chest thumping. We’re this and that and our product/service is the best out there, etc. etc. Getting them to switch to you language -- as … [Read more...] about Narcissism Isn’t Social: How To Engage With Your Audience
