A question for Google Adwords experts
-
Hi Google Adwords experts,
We own the trademarks to some keywords. When you search for these keywords, only our ads will ever appear but they don't appear every time a search is made. They're hardly ever appearing now that we've dropped our bid from $1+ to the minimum first page bid (1 cent in some cases).
My question is; are the ads showing less because our bid has dropped so low? If so, why is this? If we own the trademark to the keyword and no one else can display ads, any bid that we submit should be accepted by Google, shouldn't it?
If you can include a link to any articles that will give me more info, i'll vote for your answer.
Thanks!

A few things that might answer your question:
- Regardless of the number of competitors there is still a minimum bid requirement. I have tried to find how Google determines the minimum bid to no avail, but there is some secret sauce for this too
- If you are bidding on phrase, modified broad or broad match keywords, indeed your dropping the bid is probably accounting for your lack of impressions. You should look at increasing your bids for these.
- Quality Score. You didn't mention if any of these keywords suffer from a low quality score. If they do then this will also attribute to your ads not being shown as frequently.
- You mention in a comment you want to find an equilibrium to pay as little to show as much. The "Bid Simulator" often shows a nice curve where you can sometimes see a point of inflection. It somewhat follows the law of diminishing returns. I like to target an 80% acquisition with 20% lost to low CPC for impression share. I think that is the happy equilibrium you are looking for.

Hi James, We have trademarked "qualia", which is our ultra luxury resort on Hamilton Island. If you google it, there will be no ads because our ads aren't showing and no one else can bid on that word. So instead of serving our ad for 1 cent, Google aren't serving anything at all. I'm guessing that they might do this because otherwise companies that own trademarks would all be paying 1 cent for their ads and Google wouldn't make as much. E.g. Only Volkswagen can advertise on the keyword "volkswagen" but i'm guessing that Google wouldn't want them to be paying 1 cent for that keyword when they could be paying 60c. However, Google don't mention the amount of your bid as being a factor in deciding whether or not to serve your ad... Do you know what the best way is to find the amount where i'm paying as little as possible but my ad is being served as much as possible? Cheers.

The problem is even if you own a trademark for a term, people can still bid on the term using broad match and also variations of your brand terms.
I have seen this numerous times, I have worked on a big telco client, and daily we have affiliates and competitors bidding for brand terms, you have to put in the complaints via email to Google on a daily basis to stop it from happening, but affiliates always find loop holes.
But looking into your specific site what is the trademark term "hamilton island" is a generic term, so I am curious to what other term you are referring to.

OK, i will recommend you to rty take the bid up and track if for few days but the best thing to do and that's what i would do with thing like that because you are going to get many different answers here, just call 1-877-509-4289 for Google Adword , they will get you the correct answer in few min and you will not need to research anymore.
sorry i couldn't help more but i think that will get you the right answer before you spend your time and search for all the answers you will get here
hope that help

Hi Mike,
No, there are no other ads being served because we own that trademark. The problem is that right now, no ads are being served and i'm worried that this is because we've dropped the bids by so much.
Will Google show ads more if you bid a higher amount for them? E.g. Google might serve an ad 100 times a day at $1 and 150 times a day at $2? And if so, how can i find the equilibrium where i'm paying as little as possible but my ad is being served as much as possible?
Thanks in advance!

Before i can answer that i need to ask you if other ads appearing for your keywords ???
if they do you can file a complaint with Google and this way they will drop and you still be up with your low budget PPC.

Will pausing my AdWords PPC campaigns impact my organic rankings?
Over 95% of my revenue comes from organic search; less than 5% comes from AdWords PPC (all other sources account for about 1-2%). My ROI on AdWords is roughly zero. It's negative if you include opportunity costs. My question is: if I pause all of my AdWords campaigns, is there ANY chance that my organic rankings (and organic click-through rates) will suffer? This is really two questions. First, could Google retaliate to my reduced ad spending by dropping my rankings? Second, will searchers think differently about my organic link if they don't also see the accompanying paid link on the SERP?

Using + in Adwords URL
Hi. I am using keywords in my Destination URL in Adwords. So http://example.com/?football+boots+supplier This was done by someone else and I am trying to understand the full meaning behind this. If I go to the page it links to, it is just the homepage of the website but obviously shows up in Analytics as a landing page that stills out from the general landing page of homepage / Is that the reason so its easier to track the data? I would have though using the Paid referral in Analytics does this better? Any help be great. Thanks

Google Display Network had 3000 new placements in May
Hi all, I'm running through traffic figures from May as there was a huge spike. This is down to a spike in Adwords, specifically the Display Network. In May 2014, there is a total of 4337 placements. In April 2014, there is a total of 1561 placements. With nearly 3000 new placements where the ad could be shown, would anybody be able to explain as to how and why this has happened? I've run through the change history, and nothing i've done explains the extra placements. Auto add placements was on, but has been on for 12 months with no more than 50 extra per month. The only change that has been done that may link is I've added a mobile phone extension on ads displayed on mobile devices? The significant extra cost has been of no benefit to the campaign, as the advert displayed on various apps, forums and irrelevant websites.Would be great if anybody could shed some light here! Thank You

A heads-up about problems with the new Google Adwords Keyword Planner tool
I noticed that when I was using this tool, the data in the tables would change, often by a lot (up to 50%) when I sorted the columns. (Did nothing else, just sorted.) Since I was starting a new campaign and really needed data, I contacted Google about this and was told: "I understand that the estimates are changing in the Keyword Planner tool when you sort the data. I reproduced this on my end as well and was able to confirm that this is a known technical issue on our end." "Unfortunately the information in the Keyword Planner Tool is currently not the best source of data for your analysis." They then went on to suggest I just test things blindly. So, what do you do to get information about keyword traffic and ppc estimates?

Google Analytics Code
I have an ecommerce website and have installed the Google Analytics Code. i am also spending the money for google adwords. i m getting clicks and as well as orders but in google analytics it show that i am getting all the traffic from organic search results whereas my daily budget get exhausted and i do get business for the keywords i bid. i want to ask is there a problem with adwords or anlytics. Or have i placed the wrong code or have placed the code not in a proper format.

Your site is in organic results for adwords keyword - improved quality score?
Let's say I am targeting a keyword "Blue Widgets Cityname" with an AdWords campaign. My SEO landing page is coming up in position #6 in the organic results for this keyword. Because I have my website in the organic search results, does my quality score automatically improve? Conversely, my quality score could go up because the organic search results facilitate a higher CTR for both the ads and the organic results. However, I am wondering if there is a quality score algorithmic component that automatically makes my quality score go up simply because the same domain I am targeting is in the organic results.
