New sale or limited offer: We often get a false positive in conversion trends generated by special offers/coupons. It turned out they had launched a sale within the shopping cart and didn't mention it to us.
Is the average value of that conversion/sale higher or lower than average? What is the revenue per reader of the piece? What may that additional earned "traffic" have cost you as paid traffic? How long was spent viewing it per visitor and in total?
You must judge this campaign on results and what your cost per sale is. That last second click you receive is to give your brand a chance to steal the sale. Low Cost: Competitor brand terms often present a great opportunity because there is less...

They say in B2B marketing that if you’re brought in at the request for proposal (RFP) stage you’ve already lost the sale. If you’re below $50,000 a month and you know that you need software (not just more PPC help), focus exclusively on the lower...
