Cost of Retargeting (Remarketing) Ad Clicks
-
If you run an Adwords banner campaign with retargeting, how is the cost per click determined? My hunch is that it would be different than text ads in search result pages.
-
In essence, it's much the same as standard PPC bidding. You choose a keyword to determine the category of sites / pages where your adverts will be displayed and then you are bidding against other advertisers. In my experience, this ends up cheaper than standard PPC but as it is a second attempt you would hope so.
If you are using image adverts the best approach is to create ads at all the various sizes and it gives you more opportunities. You can then review the performance / cost of each advert and may find that you do better with certain adverts etc.
Much like normal PPC it's all about measuring and refinement over time to really sharpen things up.

Every banner you display is the result of an ad auction taking place on Google for that particular placement. Since you're targeting your ad to people, those people will visit different sites, some of which the bids for ad placements are low, so the CPC can vary quite a bit.
-
The cost of re-targeted ads is often less than the cost of standard ppc text ads, the actual cost depends on several factors that are unique to your campaign such as terms target.
I hope this is what you need

Approximate costs of keywords in Google AdWords
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to go about getting some approximate costs for keywords through Google Adwords to assist my SEO efforts. I don't want to open an AdWords account, just looking for costs. If the pricing is too high then the opened account was a waste of time. So if anyone has any resources to find out this information, that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Does having redirects in a Adwords text ad destination URL hurt quality scores?
I recently noticed that one of my clients had several redirects in their Adwords text ad destination URLs. I updated the destination URLS to land on the final location (thereby losing all the text ad history). However I'm wondering if this could have any impact on the text ad quality scores (none of them were disapproved).

Need help regarding to get rank for “Product listing Ads” on perticular keyword
I have one project Canvas Champ and we have been running Google shopping campaign for this project and we are getting good visits from some of the keywords. But our client has sorted out some keywords having high search volumes like “Canvas Prints” Now, We want to show our Product listing Ad for this keyword. Let me make you aware about our past efforts: We have set an auto target in Google Adwords for this particular product and make its bid around $8 and we have reviewed that product in listing for 2 days, but we didn’t see our Product Listing Ad on Google Search Result for this keyword. So Now, My concern is that, How can we show our Product listing Ad on Google SERP for this particular keyword “Canvas Prints”? Let me know if you have any confusion with my question. It would be really appreciated if I would get valuable inputs for the same. Thanks,
