Best AdWords Training?
-
We want to give some adwords training to some of our internal staff with no prior SEO / PPC knowledge.
We want to find:
- A good comprehensive Adwords reference book and
- A good beginner's Adwords online training course
Any recommendations on some good options for the above?
-
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was considering starting on the Google Adwords course.
Are there better options than the Google one?

The main links that helped me were:
- http://www.google.com/ads/learn/all-topics.html
- http://www.pagezero.com/publications/google-adwords-guide.php#freedownload
Thanks

Your link led me to this
http://www.google.com/ads/learn/all-topics.html
Which is a great series of intro movies that should do the trick before the rest of the people jump in.

I agree the ofifcial Google course content is good for Brginners yet if you want to take it up a notch another good example is Market Motive PPC training example here:

Hi Czarto,
Speaking from experience, There really isnt a better source to learn Adwords IMO than Google itself. http://www.google.com/adwords/professionals/
They have all of their exam certification training guides online for free. There are about 14 chapters, some of which you can skip but by after reading it all, they will all have a pretty good understanding of Adwords.

Anyone Think AdWords Campaigns Hurt Organic CTRs, Decreasing Organic Rankings?
Hi All, It seems like just about everyone agrees that AdWords campaigns and SEO campaigns bring additional value when used in conjunction (increasing Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, etc.), but has anyone considered AdWords performance harming organic rankings by decreasing engagement metrics? I've been searching for studies, blog posts, investigations, etc. this morning and haven't been able to find anyone discussing this specific idea. Personally, I think decreased engagement for organic results would be relatively evenly distributed among those results, making engagement drops relative and thus nullifying their impact on rankings. Any other ideas out there? Thanks!

Adwords: Brand ads appear bottom of SERPs
Hello, I'm running a sale promotion on a brand only Adwords campaign (I have the only account with trademark authorization) and have noticed that my ads are appearing at the bottom of the first page on Google. This happened last week so I split the campaign into three Adgroups and that fixed the problem but today I'm running brand only and there is no way to separate them. CPC has also increased dramatically. Normally it's less than 10 cents and now it's sitting at between $2-$4. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas/advice on how to stop this happening? It's playing havoc with my CTR and conversions. Much thanks,

Google Shopping Best Practices
We have a google shopping feed setup for an existing ecommerce website. We now have a new unrelated ecommerce website and want to setup a google shopping feed for that website. Is it best to add that feed to the same adwords account as the previous website or to create an entirely new adwords account login for the new site?

What are the best ways that PPC and SEO can work together?
This has come up recently internally as we are an agency that traditionally only focuses on SEO. However, when asked to articulate the benefits of how they can work together I normally see rather vague and non-actionable answers that don't really translate to real life always. I can understand how you can use SEO techniques to improve the ROAS of a PPC campaign by improving the quality of a landing page. I am also aware of a number of ways you can use Adwords data from your campaign to improve your SEO campaign but I am curious to know. How else can the two channels work together to help each other out?

Poor performing adwords account - would a new account on a different subdomain be a good way to start a fresh?
Hi We have a client who has a poor performing adwords account and has suggested starting a new account with a different gmail account, different card details and a different subdomain. More specifically we will be using unbounce to create landing pages. I was wondering the following: Will Google be able to relate the new account to the old account? If so will they then use the old accounts history with regards to quality score etc...? The keywords being targeted are in and around "email marketing" which is highly competitive - would a new account struggle at first and need to bid excessively high because of lack of history? They have a high budget - does this affect how quickly and how Google looks at an account - will they get priority? Would it be better to scrap this idea and pause the old campaign and start new campaigns in the same adwords account? Would it be better to scrap this idea and repair the existing campaigns/ad groups? Keen to get people's thought's on this one as I can't seem to find a clear cut answer from the web. Thanks Anthony
