Enhanced Campaigns: Can you disable the call extension from desktop/laptop ads and only show it for mobile ads?
-
I "upgraded" one of my campaigns to Enhanced Campaigns. Now my text ads appears with a phone number to the right of the Headline.
Can I turn this off for desktop and laptops and only show our phone number / click to call button on mobile devices?
That's how I had it set up before. Now it seems like Enhanced Campaigns is forcing the phone number in your text ads across all devices.
Thanks.

I think you can try, but it may still happen sometimes. Here's what Google instructs for how to focus on mobile only extensions.
You can change how an existing sitelink or call extension works on mobile. Here's how to customize an existing extension for mobile devices:
-
- Choose the enhanced campaign that has the extension you'd like to edit.
- Click the Ad extensions tab.
- On the View drop-down menu, choose the type of extension you'd like to edit.
- From the drop-down menu next to View, choose Upgraded.
- Go to the [Extension] settings section and click Edit.
- You'll see a list of all the extensions in this campaign.
- Hover your mouse cursor over the extension you want to customize. Click the down arrow that appears next to the pencil icon and choose Copy and edit. This creates a copy of the extension.
- In the form that appears, choose Mobile next to device preference.
- Change the extension, as needed, to optimize for mobile.
- Click Save.
Note
- Mobile-optimized extensions (extensions for which the Device preference have been set to Mobile) will be given preference over standard extensions of the same type (such as sitelinks or apps) on mobile devices.
- Standard extensions will be given preference over mobile-optimized extensions of the same type on desktop and laptop computers.
- If a campaign or ad group has only mobile-optimized extensions, these may show on desktop and laptop computers. To avoid this, we recommend having standard extensions of the same type as the mobile-optimized extensions in your campaign.

Can Google Shopping Ads Lower Ranking due to Bounce?
I am noticing Google Shopping Ads are showing up for really irrelevant keywords on some of my products. This quite predictably causes a high bounce rate when a user comes from these ads. There is very little control over what Google Ads seems to decide are relevant keywords from what I can see. Only control is by viewing search terms and setting as negative keywords, but his doesn't help much. Negative keywords are often ignored or they come up with some other really irrelevant new keyword. Seems this high bounce rate could hurt ranking? Any experiences shared with Google Shopping ads appreciated!

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!

Google Analytics and WorldPay - Tracking Sales/Conversions
Hi there, I recently remember reading somewhere that tracking code could be used to monitor sales/conversions of eCommerce payments that went through WorldPay. I've been looking around the web for news stories, forums, discussions, but all seem to be from 2007 - 2011; was just wondering if anyone knew any up-to-date info they could point me towards? Thanks

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?

Google Ads not showing
Hello, I am having some trouble with my google adwords. I decided to split my existing campaign into two campaigns, one for customers in the UK and one for the rest of the world. The keywords are the same - only the message is different. i.e. Tractor Parts Free UK shipping on Tractor parts mysite.com/tractor-parts & Tractor Parts Fast shipping to Europe from the UK mysite.com/Tractor-Parts According to Google Adwords my UK campaign has had no impressions and no clicks. However if I search for one of the keywords it appears in the search results with the UK text. Anyone got any ideas?
