CONVERSION INFORMATION YOU CAN MEASURE
...
STEPS - If you don't want your landing page reviewed, to restrict the AdWords system from visiting your site.
...
To Calculate your ROI you need what 3 numbers?
. You'll need 3 numbers: 1. Your revenue made via AdWords advertising 2. Costs related to the products that you sold 3. Your AdWords costs (available in the Campaigns tab of your AdWords account)
* What does Cross-Device conversion mean?
.Customers do their shopping on many devices. And they might prefer certain devices at different stages of their purchase - say, a mobile phone or tablet for research, and a desktop computer for the final purchase. AdWords can estimate how many customers clicked your ad on one device, and then converted on another. This information can help you see the impact that your ads have on your business, better target your customers and improve your profits.
MEASURING TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE When focused on Increasing traffic to your website the steps you start off with in adwords are?
1. Start by creating great ad text and strong keywords to make ads that are highly relevant and very compelling to your customers, 2. Then closely monitor your clicks, CTR, keywords, and search terms.
You can improve your landing page experience - and Quality Score - by focusing on three things:
1. relevant and original content, 2. transparency and 3. ease of navigation.
EXAMPLE - Calculating your ROI for page views, leads, and more
A Yellow Pages ad for your business may cost $1000 per year and result in 100 leads. Ten of those leads become customers, and each customer provides a net profit of $120, after taking your business costs into account. So the value of each lead is $12 ($1200 net profit/100 leads), and your ROI for the Yellow Pages ad is 120% ($1200 net profit/$1000 advertising cost) x 100. Here's the formula used in this example: (Total revenue - Total cost)/Advertising costs x 100 = Advertising ROI %
A conversions is =
A conversion is a customer action that has value to your business, such as purchase, downloading an app, visiting a website, filling in a form or signing a contract.
Landing Page Experience Status Mean?
Above average or Average: - If you see either of these two statuses, you're in good shape - your Quality Score won't be negatively affected by your landing page experience. Below average: - This means that your landing page experience is in need of improvement, and your Quality Score might be lower as a result. You might want to consider some changes to improve your website's landing page, like making sure that customers can find what they're looking for quickly and easily. One way to do this is to create Destination URLs for individual keywords.
EXAMPLE - Use negative keywords to Filter for serious buyers:
Advertisers hoping to make sales may want to filter out research-oriented searches by adding negative keywords like review, rate, rating, compare, comparing, comparison and the pluralised versions of these words.
By default, the AdWords system reviews advertised landing pages to assess

What is Conversion Tracking?
Conversion Tracking is a free tool that shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ads - whether they purchased your product, signed up for your newsletter or filled in a form to receive more information.
How Conversion Tracking Works and is Set up? - Overview
Conversion Tracking works by adding a single snippet of HTML and JavaScript code to your webpage (without slowing it down, of course). Specifically, this snippet is placed on the page your customers see after they complete a conversion -- the "Thank you" page they see after a purchase, for example. Every time a customer clicks your ad on Google.com or selected Google Network sites, a temporary cookie is placed on the customer's computer so a conversion can be recorded when the customer reaches the conversion page.
When you use AdWords to increase conversions or sales, keep track of your conversions with a free tool called ?
Conversion Tracking.
TYPES OF CONVERSIONS * 1-per-click - Explain * when would this metric be useful?
Conversions (1-per-click) count a conversion for every AdWords ad click resulting in a conversion within your chosen conversion window. This means that if more than one conversion happens following a single ad click, conversions after the first will not count. This metric is useful for measuring conversions approximating "unique customer acquisitions such as leads and sign-ups."
TYPES OF CONVERSIONS Conversions (many-per-click) - Explain *when would this metric be useful?
Conversions (many-per-click) count a conversion every time a conversion is made after an AdWords click, within your chosen conversion window. Conversions (many-per-click) will count multiple conversions per click. This metric is useful for measuring conversions that are valuable every time that they happen such as purchases.
OPTIMISE KEYWORDS FOR BETTER ROI Once you have conversion data, you can identify
Once you have conversion data, you can identify and delete keywords that accumulate high costs but very few conversions.
STEPS - Track Conversions Across Devices
Cross-device Conversion Tracking is readily available in AdWords, if you've already set up Conversion Tracking. Just look to the Estimated Total Conversions column on the Campaigns tab of your AdWords account.
CONVERSION INFORMATION YOU CAN MEASURE How can you use the " DESTINATION URL" to measure the conversion.
Destination URLs: You can see which Destination URLs are leading to the most conversions on the Dimensions tab of your account. Just click the View button, then select "Destination URL" from the drop-down menu, and make sure that you've added the conversion columns to your data table.
Image - Conversion - Dimension Tab / Drop Down View
Dimension Tab / Drop Down View
EXAMPLE - Using Keywords/Search terms
Example If your campaign has the keyword digital cameras on broad match, the report may show that your ads appeared for the search query "digital cameras London". If your business sells to people in London, you could add this phrase as a keyword in your account. If you don't serve London, you could add London as a negative keyword to make sure that your ad stops appearing on that search. By adding irrelevant search terms as negative keywords, you can help improve your click-through rate.
EXAMPLE - Brand Awareness
Example Say that you work for a high-end Italian car manufacturer. You could create a video ad to showcase the new features of your latest model, the SuDuperRossa, and choose to run that ad only on websites for owners of high-performance cars, since they're part of your target demographic.
Google's security standards - Conversion tracking
Google's security standards are strict. Only pages containing the Google conversion code are tracked through this programme. We use data encryption and secure servers.
Example - Conversion Tracking
Example You have a website for your clothing store, and when customers submit their orders online, they see a "Thank you for your purchase"! Pages: You want to see which of your keywords - "blue jeans" or "buy designer jeans" - leads to more purchases, so you set up Conversion Tracking. First, you get a single snippet of code from AdWords that contains HTML and JavaScript. Then, you paste that code snippet in the HTML for the "Thank you for your purchase"! Pages: Soon, you start to see that customers who click on your ad with "buy designer jeans" as a keyword buy a lot of jeans. Meanwhile, you see that a few people click on the ad with "blue jeans" as a keyword, but none of them make a purchase. So, you decide to stop investing in the "blue jeans" keyword and put more money towards the "buy designer jeans" keyword, resulting in more purchases and a better return on your investment.
For CTR, it's also very important to focus on what kind of keywords
For CTR, it's also very important to focus on negative keywords to prevent impressions that aren't likely to lead to a click. Along with negative keywords, consider trying different keyword matching options like phrase match to reduce the number of irrelevant searches.
OPTIMISE KEYWORDS FOR BETTER ROI For keywords that show a profit, you would..... For keywords that aren't profitable, you would .....
For keywords that show a profit, increase the bid to increase exposure and generate more traffic. For keywords that aren't profitable, decrease the bid to lower your costs.
What two Networks does Google have where your ads can run:
Google has two networks where your ads can run: the Search Network and the Display Network.
EXAMPLE- DESTINATION URL
If an estate agent's ad highlights flats for sale in London, the ideal landing page may feature all available flats for sale in London rather than the estate agent's homepage. Customers are much more likely to buy if they don't have to search your website to find what they're looking for.
Conversion Tracking can helo you If you'd like to know?
If you'd like to know which of your keywords best leads to clicks and conversions, such as sales, AdWords Conversion Tracking can help you This free tool in AdWords can show you what happens after customers click on your ad EXP- whether they purchased your product, called from a mobile phone, or downloaded your app).
MEASURE BRAND AWARENESS Impressions may be especially important in branding campaigns beacuse....?
Impressions: Impressions are important to track in any campaign, no matter what your goals are. o But they can be especially important in branding campaigns, because they represent how many customers actually laid eyes on your ad. o You might not care whether they ended up buying anything from your site, but you do want them to remember that catchy new slogan you paid big bucks to develop and share with the world.
For Google to determine a google landing page experience Questions keep in mind when designing your landing page to be - "TRANSPARENCY" are:
Is your business and contact information easy to find? * Are you upfront about any information that you're collecting from visitors? * Can people easily tell what'll happen when they perform an action on your site?
Example of general Questions you can ask yourself to see if you provide a good landing page experience is...
Is your landing page relevant to what a visitor is looking for? Is it easy to find your contact information? Is the page itself easy to navigate?
CONVERSION INFORMATION YOU CAN MEASURE KEYWORD CONVERSION DATA - what does it show you and how can you use it?
Keyword conversion data: Conversion Tracking shows you what happens after a customer clicks on your ad - whether he purchased your product or signed up for your newsletter. By knowing this, you'll also know which keywords are best at encouraging customers to take those actions. • Then you can improve your keyword list based on your findings, and make smarter investments in your best keywords.
Landing Page Experience - refers to
Landing page experience refers to how good Google think someone's experience will be when they get to your landing page (the web page that they end up on after clicking your ad)
Why Landing Page Matters Landing pages are kind of like cars
Landing pages are kind of like cars - make sure that they're tuned-up properly, and you'll likely get better performance and savings out of them down the road.
TIP - Google Analytics to track conversions
Many AdWords advertisers use Google Analytics to track conversions. It's a free web analytics tool that helps you learn how your customers interact with your website. Learn more about the differences between Analytics and Conversion Tracking.
Measuring conversions is helpful for your business if you're trying to do the following: Connect your ads and keywords to your business goals an Example would be
Maybe you want people to view a particular page more, or you'd like more purchases. Conversion Tracking can show you which keywords are helping you meet those specific goals by connecting them to actions.
MEASURE BRAND AWARENESS - Customer Engagement CTR - Click-through-Rate on the Display Network isnt as good because?
On the Display Network, though, user behavior is different, and CTR isn't as helpful. That's because customers on sites are browsing through information, not searching with keywords. Also, on a busy Display Network page, an ad has to compete more to get the attention of a reader than it would on a search page. It's more important to try to achieve a good CTR on the Search Network (1% or higher) than on the Display Network, where clickthrough rates are frequently lower. You may want to consider other measurements like conversions for Display Network ads.
Measuring conversions is helpful for your business if you're trying to do the following: Boost ROI - you can do so by observing what?
Not all keywords are equal. But if you know which keywords bring you the most business and which ones don't, you can make smarter investments in those keywords and avoid the unhelpful ones altogether.

Privacy is also very important to Google. Google does the following to protect your customers' privacy:
Servers for conversion tracking and search results are separated. Conversion Tracking cookies persist for a limited time only. Conversions aren't isolated: - This means that you can't match conversion data to specific customers, just see overall data for ads and keywords. Conversion Tracking includes the option to notify customers about cookies: - During the set-up process, we'll help you create a notification box for your website that lets your customers know that they're being tracked. This is known as the Google Site Stats box, which appears on your conversion page -- the page customers see after they complete a conversion. Google Site StatsThis notification appears only for customers who've been referred by Google to your site. When customers click on it, Google tells them that they don't have to accept the conversion cookie if they don't want to and reminds them that none of their personal information is being recorded or used in any way. Customers will also have an opportunity to provide feedback about your website. Promote a clear privacy policy: - If you don't use the Google Sites Stats box, we ask that you review your website's privacy policy to make sure that it discloses your use of tracking technology.
Landing page experience versus Site policies SITE POLICIES - Overview
Site policies refer to the advertising policies that we use to evaluate your landing page (and overall website). If your landing page or website contains something that we don't allow, like malware or illegal products, we might suspend your website to protect our users. When a website is suspended, that means that you won't be able to advertise that suspended website until you remove any unacceptable content.

What score or status does Google show you specific to your Landing Page Experience?
Unlike Quality Score, we don't give you a specific number that shows your landing page experience. Instead, we show you one of three statuses: * Above average, * Average * Below average.
TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMISING KEYWORDS KEYWORD DIAGNOSIS- use keyword diagnosis to:
Use keyword diagnosis to see an in-depth view of your keyword's performance, including its Quality Score on a 1-10 scale. You might want to delete keywords with low Quality Scores and add more keywords that are more like those with higher scores. If you really want to run on those keywords, consider moving them to another ad group and test them with a new ad. If they still don't perform well after one month, delete them.
TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMISING KEYWORDS KEYWORD TOOL - use keyword tool to:
Use the Keyword Tool to brainstorm ideas for keyword lists and find negative keywords while you're creating a campaign. Once the tool has generated some initial ideas, you can then enter the relevant results back into the tool to generate even more specific keyword ideas. Add relevant keywords to the ad group that focuses on that theme or product.
TOOLS AND STRATEGIES FOR OPTIMISING KEYWORDS TRAFFIC ESTIMATOR- run a search turn report to:
Use the Traffic Estimator to find keyword traffic and cost estimates to identify potential keywords. By knowing the estimated traffic for your keywords, you can also set appropriate keyword bids that will maximise your ad's exposure within the limit of your daily budget
Using Cost Per Aquisition allows you to focus primarily on?
Using this method allows you to focus primarily on how your advertising costs compare to the number of acquisitions that those costs deliver. Using the Yellow Pages example again, your ad may cost £1,000, resulting in 10 sales. So your CPA for that ad is £100.
Landing page experience versus Site policies If landing page does not follow policy then you would will see what Landing page Quality? Any keyowrds or ads pointing to that website will get what kind of status?
When we review landing pages, we sometimes come across pages that don't follow our policies. For example, if your landing page happens to contain malware (like a virus), that's a pretty bad landing page. Rather than giving you a "Poor" landing page quality status, you won't get a score at all. Instead, you'll see "Not applicable" as your landing page quality status, and any keywords or ads pointing to that website will get a "Site suspended" status. This status means that your website can't be advertised with AdWords because it doesn't follow one or more of our site policies.
When you use AdWords to increase conversions such as sales, leads, and downloads, it's a good idea to measure you__________
When you use AdWords to increase conversions such as sales, leads, and downloads, it's a good idea to measure your return on investment (ROI). • Knowing your ROI, you'll be sure that the money you're spending on AdWords advertising is going to a good cause: healthy profits for your business.
Reasons to use negative keywords
You can use negative keywords for a number of reasons: * Filter out different products or services: * Filter out irrelevant searches: *Filter for serious buyers:
How can view "LANDING PAGE EXPERIENCE" Status?
You can view this status by going into your Keywords tab and placing your cursor over the speech bubble next to the status of any keyword.
Should your CPA Cost-per-aquistion exceed the profit that you made from each acquisition?
Your CPA shouldn't exceed the profit that you made from each acquisition. For your Yellow Pages ad, the CPA is 20% less than the profit the acquisitions provide.
If you restrict google from reviewing "landing page experience" you may end up with
a drop in Quality Score because we won't have as much information to determine your landing page experience and relevance. While we strongly recommend against restricting our system's automatic review of your landing page,
