      Hello there, given that in the banners we offer a promotion with "some bonus if you sign up", what is from your experience a good CTR for a Google AdWords Remarketing banner campaign?

      Many thanks to everyone that answers.

        Many thanks Rui, we'll try Yahoo! and Bing advertising.

          I have no idea what a good CTR would be for the fields you mentioned

          You should start the campaigns, split test different ads with different images, headlines, CTAs etc for your remarketing campaigns and keep improving your CTRs

          Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?

          if the website is set up correctly, then remarketing can work well for all of these. if it's leather bags and they added the bag to the checkout but didn't proceed, then you can target these people specifically and lure them back to the website to finish the transaction.

          I assume with automotive the objective is to get their contact details in which case remarketing will work well

          Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?

          well i don't know the specifics of the business so it's difficult to say

          for online printing, if it involves printing photos, then fb marketing can work well. leather bags could also work well on fb

          beds and mattresses -- you could try yahoo & bing advertising as you would probably get lower cost/click than u would on adwords

            We have different products for different clients and the purpose of the initial question was to understand (if exists) a kind of "cross-sectorial" typical CTR for a Remarketing campaign based on the average of real data of other PPC professionals.

            Right now have several remarketing campaigns running for different clients, specifically we would like to know what do you think to be a good CTR for this market fields:

            a) Automotive (high profit margin for each acquisition).
            b) Online printing (low profit margin for each acquisition).
            c) Beds and mattresses e-commerce (high profit margin for each acquisition).
            d) Leather bags (medium profit margin for each acquisition).

            Is in your opinion the Remarketing a good solution, in terms of increaseing the PPC budget by a reasonable profit margin for these 4 market fields (a, b, c, d )?

            Which kind of PPC (other than AdWords) would you use for them?

            Many thanks.

              Monthly subscription indeed!

              Customer value is around $190 at the moment and remarketing brings them in at around $19 at last count

              What product/service are you thinking of using remarketing for?

                Many thanks Rui for sharing with us your data! It's very helpful for us!

                Anyway, which kind business model do you have for your "education product"? Monthly subscription?

                  I run an education product.

                  I'm getting around 0.81% on the remarketing campaign over the last 30 days but conversion rates are crazy -- I'm getting triple the normal conversion rates.

                  I don't know if the CTR is a good one but compared to normal display campaigns where I get around 0.20-0.27%, it's a much higher CTR than what I usually get

                    Thank you Logan, we're aware that the CTR depends on a ton of factors, we just needed to listen about some real-world CTR from other marketers that had run Google AdWords remarketing campaigns.

                    Many thanks for your answer!

                      This is almost too vague of a question, because CTR is really dependent on a ton of variables, such as:

                      • Perceived value of said "bonus"

                      • Industry served

                      • How specific, or broad your targeting is

                      • Do you cap your impressions?

                      • Branding and brand recognition (does it look familiar to the viewer - do they recall your message your brand, what your product is all about?)

                      • The design/interactivity of the ad

                      Remarketing campaigns can vary significantly on those factors (and probably others), but if you can achieve 1% that would be pretty impressive IMO. Realistically, most the remarketing campaigns I've run (healthcare industry) end up .01-.75% CTR.

                        Unsolved How should I update the grouping of keywords in a google ads account

                        ppc adwords

                        hi, I have a google adwords account running for a while in a fairly competitive market in a major city so there is only one geo location with many suburbs or council areas as popular searched. I have keywords that are 2-4 words long and very similar. I have had one keyword in its own campaign, several in one campaign and a location campaign. The location campaign has several adgroups for specific suburbs. My question is that the most popular search terms are similar but in different campaigns and I am wondering if this is not the best way. for example I have these keywords in separate campaigns as exact match and phrase match
                        rubbish removal
                        rubbish removal near me
                        rubbish removal Washington But the way google uses exact match seems to be changing and I am concerned these would be best in one adgroup. Also these keywords trigger similar phrases, for example, waste removal. Is it best to put them in one campaign with one ad group or one campaign with separate adgroups, or leave as is. As competition has increased I need to bid for top of page now and need to keep budget rises as little as possible..

                        Will pausing my AdWords PPC campaigns impact my organic rankings?

                        Over 95% of my revenue comes from organic search; less than 5% comes from AdWords PPC (all other sources account for about 1-2%). My ROI on AdWords is roughly zero. It's negative if you include opportunity costs. My question is: if I pause all of my AdWords campaigns, is there ANY chance that my organic rankings (and organic click-through rates) will suffer? This is really two questions. First, could Google retaliate to my reduced ad spending by dropping my rankings? Second, will searchers think differently about my organic link if they don't also see the accompanying paid link on the SERP?

                        Google URL Builder / Campaign Tracking on two Different Domain using the Same Analytics Code

                        Hey Everyone, I think I know the answer to this but I'd like to get some confirmation. I currently have a landing page at "www.xyz.com", it's a separate domain in which only the landing page exists and not a vanity URL which redirects. However, the navigation and all the links on  "www.xyz.com" actually link out to "www.abc.com". The domain / landing page  "xyz" has the same analytics tracking code as domain "www.abc.com". My question is this, if I use Google URL builder to create custom URL's to track for each ad that I'm running in Adwords, will this data show up in the analytics of "abc" even though it's a separate domain because it has the same analytics code? In other words, does campaign data show only if the domain and the google analytics code line up, or does the domain not matter and as long as you have the same analytics code (despite two separate domains) that campaign data (built through Google URL builder) will show? My hunch and best guess it that as long as the analytics code is the same (regardless of a separate domain) that the data in campaign will show with the custom URL's I build. I'm aware that I can test this and I will but I'd like to get an idea from the community first to make things easier. Anybody have experience with this? Answers greatly appreciated! Thanks!

                        AdWords quality score of landing pages and subdomains popularity

                        Hello, I have an AdWords account whose landing pages point to (i.e.) http://www.domain.com/landing01.php I've  been using this account for ages, it has a good score and history, so I want to keep it. The first question is: may I use landing pages on different subdomains within the same AdWords account (and in the same root domain)? I.E. (http://cheese.domain.com/landing01.php and http://wine.domain.com/landing02.php) 2nd question: the www subdomain has good subdomain metrics (authority /trust and, generally, links) while the "cheese" subdomain has not (no backlinks at all). Do I get any benefit in Adwords (like quality score or other) if I publish my landing pages under a subdomain with better subdomain metrics (or number of links)? Or should I just go with http://cheese.domain.com even it has no authority at all? Thank you, DoMiSoL Rossini

                        Why does my google analytics show a massive discrepancy from facebook's reported website clicks?

                        We're running a Facebook news feed ad that is pointing at our homepage. Facebook says that for yesterday there were 47 website clicks. Google analytics shows 15 total visitors from facebook with 3 of them landing on the homepage. I understand that there is likely going to be some discrepancy with users accidentally clicking and clicking back before the page loads, but this seems a little insane. I tested the ad using a page that pulls the Analytics cookie data using php and it is working properly so I don't understand what's happening. The url isn't tagged with utm parameters, which is going to be fixed.  Anyone experience this or have any insight as to what could be this issue? Is this click fraud? Edit: For more clarification I was checking on my completely unfiltered google analytics profile/view.

                        Broad vs. Exact in Brand Campaign

                        Hey guys, I was looking through my "Brand" campaign, and I noticed that my costs are running a little higher than I'd like to be spending. I've got my brand search term (Strutta) set on broad, since I just recently started the brand campaign about 2-weeks ago. However, I've noticed that I'm spending around $1 on most clicks even though my QS is at 9/10. In my previous experience, I've been able to pay pennies on brand search terms. I know that I have a competitor that's trying to snipe my brand searches, but I don't really want to be paying this much for branded clicks. Would it be a good idea to check my search terms, build out a larger list of exact match terms, and just go with exact match? Do you guys usually use broad in your Brand campaigns, or exact?
