What happens, inevitably, is that with lower bidprices, ads start appearing in different areas; we get different placements. Before lowering your bidprices to address CPA, make sure that you have a good understanding of the quality of the...
Besides, a difference between position one and two, or two and three could only be a half a percentage point—but a huge divide might exist between the bidprices for those positions. It’s more important to base price on what your customer thinks it...
Thus you can decide whether to bid more or revise your campaign strategy such as by shifting your focus to less competitive long-tail keywords. Competitive intelligence solutions can provide highly accurate estimates of your competitors’ click...
Let’s assume that your bid for a competitive keyword that is extremely aligned with your offering is $5 (it’s probably much higher, but let’s just assume that). This would mean that out of every 10 clicks on your paid search ad, only 1 converts...
Sellers can bid on product type, brand, prices, SKUs, and a seemingly limitless list of product attributes and groups through the AdWords login. Just like the paid CSE Pricegrabber, Google Shopping will have the utility for sellers to bid $.01 on...
Whilst there is a lot of discussion about the fairness of allowing competitors to bid on your brand terms, Google is effectively a marketplace and so like any other marketplace is expected to offer a wide range of choices.
At the moment, it's one bid for any engagement. I suspect these are highly dependent on tweet quality and on your bid. Twitter promoted tweets work on a costper engagement model. Promoted accounts are only charged on a costper follower (CPF) basis.
Fears that reactions to these changes will cause increased bidding by Adwords advertisers unaware of the problems and raise the cost of clicks others have to bid to keep up have been voiced. So I do not think the "bid notice" is correct.
This is the virtuous circle any paid search division wants to fuel -- more advertisers, increased keyword coverage resulting in an increased average number of advertisers per keyword, increased bid completion, and a higher average revenue perclick.
RTB is the ability for the bidder to take a look at every single impression and to place a bid. The marketplace sends out a bid request to all eligible bidders (there are dozens of RTB-enabled platforms already operating in the market).

Optimal Pricing also uses advertiser campaign objectives and network structure to give each advertiser an opportunity to bid on the most valuable traffic at all price points. LookSmart has introduced a new pay-per-click pricing method they've...
AdMob Lowers Minimum BidPrices for Geo-Targeted, Non 'Big-4' Carrier Ads Advertiser bid The idea is that automatic pricing will help lower maximum Cost-Per-Click (CPC) bids and reward publishers that deliver higher value clicks.
In a perfect world, automated bid management performs a function that is difficult or impossible for a human to perform: monitoring conversion behavior several times per day, and adjusting keyword bids so that the likelihood is high that the...
If the advertiser also created a landing page with a headline and descriptive text using the words "green widgets," the conversion rate would likely improve, the costper conversion would decrease, and the bid price could be increased -- hopefully...
Watch as it accumulates 30 or more conversions -- if cost-per-conversion is above your target, lower the bid price. Likewise, if the costper conversion is lower than your target, you can afford to increase the bid price.
For these, increase the bid price gradually until the costper conversion levels out at, or below, the maximum you defined earlier. Next Monday I'll run through the methods and best practices for determining how and when you should adjust keyword...
If you bid higher than the maximum costperclick, you risk losing money. Thus, the starting maximum cost-per-clickbid would be $0.48 CPC or:
x .01 = 32 cents perclick This week I'll discuss a topic that's difficult for many PPC advertisers...
By doing so, you can set maximum bidprices separately per site, optimizing ROI for each one. Several readers have written to report that they've attempted to implement this strategy, but found that their new placement-targeted campaigns failed to...
