Have Google Shopping show site listings instead of Amazon and eBay listings
-
An e-commerce site I'm currently working with also has storefronts on eBay and Amazon. When searching Google Shopping, their Amazon and eBay product listings come up but NOT their primary site's listings.
Can anyone shed some light on how to a) feed the main site's products to Google Shopping and subsequently b) have Google remove the eBay and Amazon listings?
Obviously, this would be a boon to business and hey wouldn't have to pay the Amazon and eBay fees associated with each sale.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Carl,
Are you using the same information in your feeds that are being sent to Google, Amazon, and Ebay? If not, that could be a reason your Amazon & Ebay listings are outranking your primary site’s listings.
If you are sending the same information, the reason may be because you need to increase your product bids. Products in a very competitive category with low bids will have a very hard time gaining exposure because they’re ranked so low. Try increasing your product bids until you start seeing your primary site’s listings outrank the Amazon & Ebay listings or rank beside them in the SERPs.
Regarding your second question, you actually don’t want to remove any listings from the Amazon and Ebay store fronts. Removing the listings will only decrease the amount of coverage you’ll receive on the SERPs and lower your traffic. If you keep the listings on Amazon & Ebay, you’ll have three times the coverage (the Amazon listing, Ebay listing, and your primary site’s listing). Yes, you’ll be paying Amazon and Ebay the costs associated with those clicks, but you’ll still have an ROI that’s better than no ROI at all.
Also, your account could be under a random review. We’ve been seeing this happen to various accounts in the past few weeks. You can read more about it here.
Hope this clarifies some things!

Is anyone aware of stats stating how many people abandon pages the deeper they get in a site?
For example, let's say someone enters via a landing page, and instead of having a form there is a button to a form. What percentage of people will click the button and fill out the form vs if the form was right there on the page? Basically, I am trying to figure out what percentage of users do websites lose for every click a user makes on the site.

Site Redesign Leads Dropped
One of my clients recently had his site redesigned. He wanted to change the design completely, I did offer advice on aspects relating to the redesign, I think its fair to say that he didn't follow all of my advice. PPC still running as usual and rankings still OK but the leads have gone down. Most of the leads come via the phone. I have suggested a number of ways to establish what has gone wrong including surveying his existing customers, comparing old and new designs etc...The client isn't keen on these methods. I'm hoping someone has some direct experience and can offer some direction as to how best to proceed? Justin

PayPal Visits Increase in Referral Traffic in Google Analytics
We've noticed recently on an E-Commerce website that we manage that PayPal has recently shown a large increase in Referral Traffic on the website. Is anyone having an experience with this and how can we block it? It seems like its counting the traffic that leave to PayPal to complete a purchase and then return to the site as increased traffic. The increase started to occur around April 29, 2015 and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with any recent updates made by PayPal? Any insight or other experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Any tips and tricks to increase Conversion Rates on Google PLA?
I have recently organized my Adwords (Product Listing Ads) campaign according to this link: http://certifiedknowledge.org/blog/how-to-create-a-state-of-the-art-pla-campaign While I like the organization and control this provides, my fundamental concern is to increase conversions. I understand conversions are dependent on other factors such as landing pages etc. Are there any Google Adwords tips someone has had success with to increase CTR and increase conversion rates? Pating $10/day to Google Adwords while only getting a sporadic business every 3 days is getting a bit frustrating. Are there any tools in MOZ that can help find faults and generate simple reports on the Google Adwords campaign? Any help is much appreciated.

Call extension only showing with some keywords/ads?
I've enabled Call Extensions with Call Forwarding on my Adwords Campaign (found out Location Extension must be enabled, so enabled that, but left out phone number in location settings). I thought these extensions should work on a campaign level. However, I can only see the google voice call forwarding extension on some of my keywords/ads. What's up?
