Adroll for Retargeting Campaign
-
Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone can comment on their experience using Adroll, especially in terms of it's performance in comparison to Google Adwords retargeting campaigns.
Thx!

Hey David!
I manage all of our retargeting and online marketing efforts here at Moz. We actually use AdRoll so we might be a little biased.
With that said, I've had nothing but great experiences with AdRoll. As John mentioned above, in order to run retargeting ads through the Facebook Exchange, you have to go through one of the ad partner networks. So, that's one major advantage right there of running with AdRoll over Google Remarketing.
We've seen amazing results with CTR's of 3-10% on Facebook retargeting ads (especially newsfeed ads) so I highly recommend at least testing it.
I also agree with John that AdRoll's customer service is fantastic. We have a dedicated account team there who is super responsive and all around great folks to partner with.
Hope that helps!

We've been using Adroll for a few years now, and I can say we're very happy with them. Their performance is on-par with Google Adwords. We're now using them also to get our retargeting ads into Facebook (including in news feed ads), and we're seeing good results from those. You can't set those up without an ad partner, so it was nice for us that that relationship already existed.
Adroll, vs. any other company I've worked for in the online advertising space, has the best reps I've ever worked with. They get back to me the same day when I write to them, with detailed intelligent responses. They take appropriate and timely actions to make optimizations in our account.
As far as I know, none of the retargeting platforms are completely self service which in general I strongly prefer. With Adroll, I don't mind as much, as the reps are so responsive.
Also, I met with their head of product not too long ago, and they have some really cool things in their pipeline over there that I think will contribute even more to our success through their platform.

I've been eyeing them too. My only experience so far in in having their re-targeting follow me around the web. Just chiming in to keep an eye on what responses you get.

Huge Drop in Shopping Campaigns clicks
Anyone else experiencing a huge drop in impressions/clicks? we noticed on Friday a sudden drop with impressions/clicks on multiple shopping campaigns which have been running very successfully for a number of years, we have checked merchant centre for any errors or warnings, also checked our feed everything looks OK apart from the extreme sudden drop. All our search campaigns are performing as normal, our natural rankings are also perfectly normal, just affecting shopping campaigns, we cannot figure out why. Anyone else seen any extreme changes with shopping campaigns recently? We are based in the UK

Retargeting and Display Advertising - Moz data
Hello Dr Moz'ers So we have a new competitor in our market (6 months) that has basically copied our business model 100%, grrrr. We have been in the market since 2008 .This new website is ranking well considering how difficult our market is. This new website is using the re-targeting display advertising and within 6 months his Moz data is showing around 45,000 back links, is this because of the re-targeting display advertising? Is there any link juice from the re-targeting display advertising because the MOz data says the site has 100% follow even though its an image. Cheers

Has anyone used Adroll (Facebook retargeting)with any success?
Hello! I am wondering if anyone out there has had a good experience with Adroll. I set up a campaign a couple months ago, but have yet to see any return on my investment. I'm now considering stopping this service because it seems to not be living up to its hype. What has your experience in using this service?

Can I auto tag my unbounce campaign?
Hi Mozzers, We are running ads for a client and we're using unbounce for landing page creation. Google Adwords is the main ad platform we are using right now. When you click on the ad you land on a subdomain (subdomain.Sitename.com) and you can click on Apply which lands on the form Page of the client's site(www.sitename.com). The campaign has been auto tagged but haven't seen any data which is probably because of the subdomain unbounce page. Do you think there is a way to track unbounce via auto tagging or my only solution will be setting up manual tagging? Thanks

Adwords enhanced campaigns - Specify alternate destination URLs
Morning Mozzers, I am setting up a new campaign for a client, they would like to target mobile devices which evidently i can no longer do with enhanced campaigns; however i have increased the Mobile bid as much as possible and set the default CPC low to try and minimise appearance in desktop search. The client has a desktop and a mobile version of the destination page but the site will not direct users to the correct page based on their device as they are two separate domains. As such i want to know if i can specify an alternate destination URL for an ad in Adwords based on if the click comes from a mobile or desktop device? The other option is to set all my Ads within the Adgroup to have mobile as the device preference and just use the mobile landing page, but not sure if there is a neater solution here? Thanks, Tom.

Wordwatch Software: PPC Adwords campaign managers heard of, tried, or actively using this?
I've been trialing WordWatch for about a month. I'll admit I've been skeptical from the start. I don't quite understand the results they're delivering or how it works. So I did a search for "Wordwatch review" hoping someone out there could shed some light or help me decide whether this software was worth keeping. But all I can find are two suspicious and badly written posts, immediately raising red flags. (Penuguin should have eliminated crap sites using the Flesch-Kincaid reading level, but I digress.) **Wordwatch premise: **They take over keyword bidding to maximize budgets and clicks. They monitor the Adwords campaign to find an "optimal" bid price. Two questions about this premise: How is it different than using the Google settings for optimize for clicks or conversions? Since Google Adwords is based on a Vickery auction, wouldn't lowering my bid only lower my position? Bearing everyone has the same QS, then lowering my bids to the range between 2 positions does not increase my actual cost. I have Wordwatch enabled for a few of my campaigns. Their interface leaves a lot to be desired. They don't report the activity or the changes they make to the campaigns from the dashboard. I had to go into my Adwords Change History to track what they were doing. And lo and behold they're also adding long tail keywords to my ad groups. Bottom line I didn't notice any huge impact, and I don't see how it's better than Google's own version of campaign settings. I don't know that they're really legit. But their marketing was so convincing, and they raised $1.4M that I need other opinions. Any one with some pro/cons, or yay/nays?

Does an AdWord campaign affect your rankings?
Say for instance you are in the business of "lawn mower repair," and you are ranking for that keyword. If you were doing an AdWord campaign on that keyword, would that also affect your organic rankings in the SERPs for that keyword?
