Isn't a product page a Landing Page?
-
Before starting a new ppc campaign, I am working on making my site landing pages Relevant. I see some ppc experts suggest separate, noindex, landing pages. But aren't my dynamically generated product pages landing pages- They have a call to action "add to basket" button, a big photo, and orignal detailed conent- prodct description - below all that. Sometimes I would like to advertise we have a broad selection of a Vendor's line- so then my natural landing page is a categegory page with thumbnail photos and the call to action is clicking the photo or product name to go to the specific product page. Can an experienced adwords person help me understand this better? Do I really want/need to create seperate ppc landing pages? What would the difference be? Thanks as ever Handcrafter

I would attempt to focus on the artist and display a couple of his/her pieces on the landing page. So, for each artist, your ad would be around something specific in the medium used or possibly genre of art, the landing page would potentially be a couple of specific pieces and a short bio w a call to action, etc.
Your question will be: What was the searcher's query? Artists in city X? 3D art by Y, etc. This I think is important for a PPC in such a low volume search area. (I have been collecting for years and my wife does contemporary abstract in oil and acrylics). With art, you might really explore destination advertising on the web as well. You will be the one who can decide which is best/cost effective for you.
Now, if your store were more of a furniture/art/design type store, then I would have to look at what drives people there and maybe look at what someone like restoration hardware or their new model does.Best

That is helpful. In our store/ gallery we have hand made items which are often a quantity of 1. So I had been thinking of using ppc to advertise the artisan- and have a landing page based off the category page. When we get a new collection in- we could do ppc ads about the great selction and what the new style is about. Does that make sense? Or would you instead do several ppc adds focusing on the individual products? Looking forward to input / ideas on this-- Handcrafter

First, it depends on what your ad is. But, if you are advertising to sell sneakers, a specific variety, a specific sale, to a specific segment, etc. I doubt that you will want to have an ad go to the product page with: Nike-running-shoe/mens/black/372 as the url then a title, a pic, a couple of this is what it is lines and a price with a place in cart option.
If you are spending on the ads, focus on what about the ad is going to get me to click to go to the product. (Ad copy on Google ad that drives CTR)
Then, the last thing you want is to have them bounce as they saw one thing and it wasn't what they wanted. Make your ad be about a reason to stay, shop, buy, etc So, leap year day only sale, Nike Super Jumper 10% off, buy two get free shipping, IF you know that the item is hot, have them land on a full page that really shows it off. etc.
Yes, you could do it the other way, but I wouldn't. Even with our service clients, we want landing pages as opposed to basic site pages as you drive a specific need and then you fulfill that need. With our SEO, we use the meta desc. to answer the query and optimize the page. The same is happening with an ad we are just using ad copy and a landing page.
hope this helps

Is it possible to link two sites' Search Console to Adwords?
My company is a healthcare organization that has two brands, one that's our 'system' and is mainly adult health services and the other is pediatric only focused care. Both have separate websites. Our SEM is managed by an outside agency. We're in the process of linking our Google Search Consoles to the Adwords account. Our GSC has both of the sites as separate properties, but the Adwords account has all of the campaigns for both brands under one account. Is it possible to link both of the GSC properties in the Adwords account to be able to get accurate information for the Paid & Organic report in Adwords?

Looking to syndicate content - can't use PR Web or Outbrain URGENT!
I have a client in urgent need. They have a blog that they are trying to syndicate and drive traffic towards. Their blogs rest on individual URL's and their topics are loosely connected to the gaming industry. We are using PR Web and planned on using Outbrain to drive traffic, but the topics got pulled due to content restrictions. Any suggestions of tools I can use to help syndicate their blogs? Any and all recommendations would be GREATLY appreciated!

OK to have a modal pop-up on an AdWords landing page?
We're about to launch an AdWords campaign targeting users who are searching for hand-crafted furniture. The website we're sending users to has a large inventory of furniture, and all if it is hand-crafted. But there currently is no page on the site specifically communicating that all the furniture on the site is hand-crafted. So, rather than dump the user right into browsing the inventory, we want to put an intermediate step in place to say, in essence, "Hey, welcome, yes, we have lots of handcrafted furniture. In fact, all of it is hand-crafted. Here, have a look around." The art director on the project is suggesting that a modal pop-up would be perfect for this scenario. It would greet the user, who could then dismiss the pop-up and move into the site. I have two concerns about using a modal, though: Does a modal violate Google's policy against pop-ups that open new windows? Assuming we trigger the modal using Javascript, will AdsBot have any trouble crawling the content of the modal, such that it could hurt the landing page component of our quality score?

Product listing Ads and the product descriptions. How much of a factor is this in visibility?
I've scoured the web trying to find some proof of whether the product listing text uploaded to GMC is in fact a factor in showing up or whether its just the title that matters. Basically, does anyone know if the product descriptions play a large factor in showing up or is it just the landing page text and the title? I also wonder just how much text is worth putting there, it seems there is a 500 character limit.

Canonical or noindex for PPC landing pages?
I have two pages for this example. http://www.designquotes.com.au/web-design-quotes/ http://www.designquotes.com.au/web-design-quotes-melbourne/ The first URL is an SEO optimised page. The second URL is 99% the same, except that it specifies a city. It's intended use of for a PPC campaign. The first page has major cities mentioned on the page so I don't have to build a separate page for every city variation. The second URL is designed to be city specific for a geographically targeted PPC campaign. The more specific, the higher the conversion rate. Should the second page (the PPC landing page) use a canonical URL (since it's 99% the same) or should it be noindex?
