Optimize Ad Campaigns Using Adwords’ Keyword Quality Score

If you’re a PPC (point-per-click) ad practitioner, creating new ad campaigns using Google’s Adwords tool is as easy as ABC.  All it takes is loading your ad’s keywords using the Adwords Editor and creating ad texts based on them.  After reviewing the ads and setting bids, your PPC ad campaign is ready for launch.  Each keyword will automatically gain a Quality Score that will affect how well your PPC ad campaign fares from then on.

Quality Score for Ad Relevance

Adwords’ Quality Score for keywords measures the relevance of a PPC ad to search queries made by users online.  For example, a user who searches for “ppc” as the keyword will be given a list of search results of PPC web sites.  When the user clicks on any of them, any Google ads on the page will be about PPC or similar keywords.  The ads in the page entice users, who are interested in the subject in the first place, to click on them to know more about similar topics.  When users see the PPC ads on the page, or click on them, the advertising was successful, and the keyword used to advertise is rated accordingly.

The Quality Score for keywords is an important metric in Google’s advertising system, benefiting users, advertisers, and website publishers alike.  Without the Quality Score, ad relevancy is not assured, and displayed ads will not match the needs of users, leading to a failure in advertising.

Quality Score Calculations

Every time there is an ad keyword matched to a search query, the Quality Score for the keyword is calculated, because this means the keyword can bring about an ad.  Quality score is calculated using the CTR of click-through rate, which is the quantity of clicks that the ad receives compared with the number of times that the ad was shown (or what is known as “impression”).  Well-targeted keywords have higher CTRs than general keywords, as well as a well-crafted PPC campaign.  A high CTR leads to a high Quality Score.

A keyword’s initial Quality Score is derived from how well it performed for other advertisers in the past.  Adwords has a monitoring system in place that tracks each keyword’s performance in previous PPC ads.  A base score is then derived and is the keyword’s initial Quality Score for new PPC ads.  How it performs from then on will either lower or raise the Quality Score.

Leveraging Quality Score for PPC Campaigns

Since a high Quality Score means that the keyword performed effectively for other advertisers in the past, Google places a premium on advertising cost for such keywords.  Knowing that a group of keywords for your new PPC campaign has low Quality Scores should tell you whether to redesign the campaign or not.  A poor Quality Score means past advertisers did not do well with the keywords, but a high Quality Score also means that many advertisers are launching their own PPC campaigns with these keywords, offering stiff competition.

Deciding on improving a keyword’s Quality Score means optimizing the Adwords campaign account, setting up descriptive ads and ad groups, and aiming for closely related keywords for all groups.  A sound PPC campaign strategy to optimize Quality Score is also aided by the Keyword Analysis tool that can suggest ad optimization in landing pages, ad copies, and other performance enhancement activities.

Digital Marketing Website

Creative Digital Marketing Website

Searching for a the right digital marketing company can be a challenge. Business owners want may of the same things that their customers want. They are searching for a service they can trust and depend on.

As a matter of fact, the experience of searching for your web marketing company can be a way in which to put yourself into the shoes of your own customers. Use your search for a marketing company as a learning experience.

Once you have narrowed down your choices, it is important to research each of your marketing options as much as possible. Investigate your potential web marketing companies as much as your customers would investigate your company.

Searchign for a digital marketing website does not have to be overwhelming. Choosing Wag the Dog Marketing can alleviate a great deal of your marketing stress.

Customizing

Before making your financial decision about at  marketing company, take a long hard look at your business. More often than not, it will be better to choose a company that has experience in your field or a comparable field.

However, if you are lucky enough to stumble across a company that is professional and affordable, and you really seem to get a good feeling for their work, it may be worth taking a chance. A lot of times, motivation, drive and great ideas can be more effective than experience.

That being said, you want someone that is experienced in online marketing in one way or another. Perhaps they are experienced with bubble gum sales and your business is a cleaning service. As long as they have advertised a company online they are familiar with the basics.

In the search for the right digital marketing website, start with a broad search and narrow it down. Wag the Dog Marketing can offer creativity, experience and a fresh perspective on internet marketing.

Bargain Hunters

One of the main factors in your search for an internet marketing company will, no doubt, be price.  Your advertising budget is more than likely quite strict, and possibly lower than usually during poor economic conditions.

It may be one of the first places from which funds are cut. While it is important to be fiscally responsible, cutting too much out of your advertising budget may leave you with abysmal options.

Look for an affordable and professional digital marketing website. Wag the Dog Marketing can offer customers reasonable prices without sacrificing service.

Your Input

Make decisions ahead of time about how much input you wish to have in the marketing process. Some business owners are eager to turn over the entire process to a third party. Others still want their ideas to be heard, and they want the power to reject things they believe will not work.

Either of these options is fine, but it is important to know whether the company you are considering is on the same page as you are. Set these boundaries early in your relationship, and preferably, include them in the contract agreement

Finding a digital marketing website that is right for you and your company does not have to be frustrating. Consider Wag the Dog Marketing for your online marketing needs.

Using Dofollow or Nofollow attributes

For anyone who runs a blog, a commmon issue comes up, do I want to use Nofollow, or dofollow attributes on my links?

You have to look at it a few different ways, on one hand, if you keep your external links to nofollow, your blog will have a much stronger pagerank then with dofollow links. Just because a link may be nofollow doesn’t mean that it won’t appear in the search results for Google. If other websites are linking to it then Google may find the page through those links.

Dofollow links in your blog comments will actually encourage users to post on your blog, knowing they are getting a solid backlink which will direct search spiders to their webpages. This will help develop a “community” aspect to your blog as regular commenters will return for more knowing you’re helping build their rankings. In the case that dofollow is enabled on comment links, moderation will also have to be applied. Spammers regularily search for blogs to spam based on the link attributes applied to comments. If you do not moderate every incomming comment on your blog, eventually it will simply be filled with thousands of spam comments. For the most part spam comments are completely automated robots, thus it is important to stay on top of every comment sent to your blog.

Determining Nofollow vs Dofollow is a tough decision to make. On one hand you can easily encourage new users to comment on your posts, while slightly sacrificing your Pagerank. On the other you can have less comments and a more solid pagerank over time. It really depends on how much you value comments on your website.
