How Deleted Ads Affect Quality Score

posted on: March 12th, 2010

How you ever considered what your Quality Score looks like for your PPC account in general and whether it has affected the account throughout the years? Everything you do now will affect the future score and gaining a good Quality Score will take time.  For some it may take just a week but for others it can take much longer.  By optimising the PPC account on an ongoing basis you will start to see the benefits of a great Quality Score.  In time, costs should drop and the ad will have better placements. What many people do not realise is that deleted or paused ads will still have an effect on the Quality Score.  Both paused or deleted ads and keywords still have an effect and their historical performance can continue to affect the account history long after they are deleted.  However it is still recommended to delete those that do not perform well to increase the quality score.  This prevents them affecting the quality score and your account history in the future.  Over time as other ads gain positive performance history the effect of the deleted keywords and ads will start to diminish and the affect on the quality score will lessen. It is recommended to delete poor performers rather than to pause them, as they could be resumed by accident.  In Adwords for example it is possible to start deleted keywords and ads so beware of that possibility. If you want to increase the click through rate the keep deleting poor performers and adding new ads. At Click Consult we can help you manage all your pay per click accounts.

Advanced Local Listings

posted on: March 9th, 2010

If you are setting up geo-targeted PPC campaigns in combination with local listings there are some advanced settings you can use to further improve your pay per click advertising. Once you have fully listed all your opening hours, the forms of payment that are accepted and a detailed description of the services and products on offer you have an automatic line into those search engines that accept your listing to amend and update them as time goes on. By claiming your listing you block other companies from hijacking your entry but you can also gain advantages for your PPC campaigns in Google. In the campaign settings you can show appropriate addresses to searchers via ads in a targeted area.  This is great way of appealing to searchers by using a well targeted ad and supplying an accurate local address. Once Google has claimed your listing, access the settings tab for the campaign you want to amend.  Click on the link which allows you to addresses which can be found under ‘Locations, Languages and Demographics’. Local search is fast being recognised as one of the fastest online divisions.  Local marketing is projected to continue to thrive and it is thought that as mobile usage is linked to local search, the boom in mobile applications will propel local marketing further.  By using a combination of geo-targeting and local listings you will be one step ahead of the competition. At Click Consult we can offer more advice on how you can create effective pay per click accounts for local ads in your web marketing campaign.
