Pay Per Click Campaign Optimization
-
How much would you pay for a Pay Per Click Campaign Optimization? Our monthly budget is around $2k a month for Adwords.
Any advice in choosing the right company to run our Adwords campaign?

Pay Per Lead.
Most agencies will charge as a percentage of spend which will incentivize them to spend more of your dough. That doesn't work well for you as a business owner.
If instead you are charged per lead, then an increase in spend means an increase in leads and more customers.
If you run a limousine business for example and the value per enquiry is $20, you can ask the company how much they would charge on a per lead basis. If they say $10, then you should try it out and see how well they convert.
This is the best way to make sure that you get a positive ROI on your spend and it reduces your risk as well as the amount of work you have to do screening for people that have no idea what they're doing. If they can deliver solid leads to you at a decent cost, then they know what they're doing and you get a win-win situation.
Good luck!

Hey There,
That's a pretty decent budget in my opinion. I know that some vendors can charge anywhere from 500 - 5K month depending on how robust a campaign you have.
When looking for a vendor I'd suggest to take a good look into:
(1) Reputation - How many clients do you they have and how long have they been around? What type of results have they seen?
(2) Processes - How do they go about analyzing your PPC efforts. Will it align with how you envision your campaigns to operate?
(3) Relationship - Can you depend on them with unlimited consultative services. What I mean by this is, are they going to be available answer the majority of your questions, or will they file you in order of importance in comparison to their other clients
(4) Knowledge - Make sure they know their stuff! You'd be surprised how many Internet Marketing/Web Development companies advertise PPC services just because they know it's hot and do not have too much experience. Not that this is a bad thing per se (of course we all gotta start somewhere!), but, depending on your goals and budget, make sure you are truly getting what you paid for.
One vendor that I've had some pretty positive experience with is a company called Web Mechanix. I did some work with them at my old employer and they were pretty on point. Check them out at www.webmechanix.com
Good luck!

Tracking Adwords users who sumbit a contact form after clicking through my Landing page.
I have a user, Jane, who comes to my landing page through an AdWords campaign. She click off my landing page, browses the website, then submits a contact form on one of the other pages on the site. My problem is when I receive the email from the contact form, there is no identification that this user came through adwords. If she had submitted the contact form on my landing page this wouldn't be a problem, but she submitted the form from elsewhere on the site. I know that I can see a NUMBER of how many goal conversions were achieved this way in Analytics. This is not what I want. I need something to identify it on the CONTACT FORM so that the intake staff in my office can credit that lead to the correct campaign. Any idea on how to achieve this. Technically, I am using the latest version of Wordpress and the Contact Form 7 plug-in. I can change plug-ins if needed.

Track bounce rate per PPC keyword
Hi all Wondering if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction with this please. When running an adwords campaign is there a way in which one can track the bounce rate on the landing page per keyword sending paid traffic? I've had a play about in adwords and GA and couldn't find the right option. The site I am sending traffic to is not a ecommerce site so cannot set up conversion tracking so we are going to monitor the bounce rates of different keywords and drop the ones which are bouncing much higher than others as it seems better to invest the budget in those words which are keeping people on the page for longer. Many thanks Carl

Brand Name: Conversion Rate Optimizing: Eponymous VS Generic
Good day all, We are entertaining the idea of changing the Domain Name & Brand Name for straplessfashion.com. While still in development, the website sells women undergarments. We did some survey research and it seems that women (age 18-40) really liked either "Demi's Dream" or "Almost Skin" as a good name. More specifically, Almost Skin seems to be the more popular choice over "Demi's Dream". I think "Almost Skin" catches attention quicker and may work best in PPC. However, when personalizing a brand name is considered, "Demi's Dream" might be the best choice. Would you please offer your advise on which of these two names might be the best for a new Domain and Brand name for the website mentioned above? Which would convert better? Thank you for your help. Carlos

Conversion optimization with Optimizely, impact on SEO
I am looking into signing up with www.optimizely.com for conversion testing. They put scripting on my site which will then redirect half of my site visitors to an alternate home page. The site I want to test on is ranking quite well with Google and I do not want to hurt my rankings. And with this set up,what Google will think is my home page is not and so I am essentially sending visitors to a different page than Google reads as my home page in source code. So, my concern is whether this will have a negative impact on my SEO rankings to redirect 50% of site visitors to a different page using this testing tool? I would use Google Web Site Optimizer, but many of my sites are in Wordpress and it seems that Wordpress and web site optimizer are not so compatible. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Robert
