Measuring Conversions Post Converted Clicks: Help For Lead Gen Advertisers
Last week fellow PPC Hero Emma Franks wrote a great article about Google’s decision to retire its converted clicks metric. The paid search industry has shifted away from strict adherence to a last click attribution model to more flexible models that consider the entire customer journey.

Expanded Text Ads Come To Google AdWords Editor
Ever since Google released expanded text ads in beta, advertisers have been populating their accounts with this new ad format. Advertisers could create expanded text ads in the interface or bulk upload excel sheets, but couldn't utilize AdWords Editor.

View Ad Creative Through The Eyes Of Your Searchers
Making decisions for PPC initiatives can be stressful. Within the industry, we toss around “best” and “common” practices like confetti. We are purveyors of patterns. Collectors of congruency. Emperors of efficiency. However, we lack perfect vision into the future and have to rely on 20/20 hindsight. For example, we rethink a campaign structure after performance doesn’t … [Read more...] about View Ad Creative Through The Eyes Of Your Searchers
Leveraging Analytics For Remarketing: Picking The Ripest Fruit
Remarketing represents the low hanging fruit of the digital marketing world. This cliche or some analogous iteration is parroted throughout the paid search community to no end. It's a safe assumption that this mentality has either been repeated or embraced by nearly every account manager, myself included. And while the frequency becomes repetitive, its prevalence is well … [Read more...] about Leveraging Analytics For Remarketing: Picking The Ripest Fruit
How To Analyze Time-Of-Day Performance For Luxury Products
Time of day analysis and bid adjustments are not new in the PPC world. However, the importance of ad schedules varies across industries, services, and products.

Are Your Expanded Text Ads Lit?
Dear reader, here is a confession: I am too old to be using slang and I am especially too elderly to be trying so hard to incorporate colloquialisms into a post about Expanded Text Ads. But when Google announced earlier this year they would be ditching the right side ads and would be extending the character lengths for headlines and descriptions, I was ready to make my ads … [Read more...] about Are Your Expanded Text Ads Lit?
Do Standing Desks Really Improve Your Work Experience?
When I started in Paid Search 4 years ago I was in for a shock. Not because I didn’t know anything about Paid Search (which I didn’t) or that I was working in an office for the first time in my life (I was in outside sales for 18 years). It was all the sitting I was doing. At least 8 hours a day. Don’t get me wrong. I got up to use the restroom, go to lunch and occasionally … [Read more...] about Do Standing Desks Really Improve Your Work Experience?
How I Cut Costs By 20% Using Monthly Bid Schedules
I recently found myself in a situation that most PPC-ers will experience at some point. I needed to decrease spend in order to hit a cost-per-lead goal and I did not know where to start.

Treat Bing Like A Special And Unique Snowflake
When it comes to paid search there is simply no denying that Google is the big man on campus.

Often times the … [Read more...] about Treat Bing Like A Special And Unique Snowflake
No Conversions? No Problem. Optimizing When Conversions Are Few And Far Between
PPC is all about optimization. We’re constantly thinking “how can I improve performance? What are my KPIs and goals? What’s the next step?” However, there are instances where the client isn’t tracking conversions (in the traditional sense, anyway) or conversions just don’t happen all that often. In these situations, we have to get creative in how we think about performance and … [Read more...] about No Conversions? No Problem. Optimizing When Conversions Are Few And Far Between
