PPC landing page cannibalizing the Organic page's juice?
-
I have a PPC campaign pointing to a custom landing page.
I also have a different webpage for the same product that is optimized to rank organically (on the same site).- Should I noindex the PPC landing page so it doesn't steal the thunder from my organic webpage?
- If so, does noindex damage the adwords quality score?
- Should I just give the PPC landing page a different Title tag that doesn't cannibalize my organic page and call it a day?
- Does a PPC landing page need a title tag for a better adwords quality score?
Thanks!

yes no-index all ppc landing pages, so they wont impact your seo.
You should keep meta title relevant to the ad group/keywords, as this will slightly impact your quality score. However remember that quality score is primarily based on click thru rate...very little of your quality score comes from text ads or landing page relevancy. My AdWords rep told me that if I have the keyword in the text ad, meta title, and a few times in the page content, you are good. After this, just focus on click thru rate.

Hey, I will second this opinion here.
Definitely no-index your landing page if it is not for a search engine audience & ensure you keep the content of the page consistent as that will have an impact on page relevance and quality score.
Think consistent messaging from keyword to advert copy to landing page.
Hope that helps

I believe no index is a good option and in my practices I haven’t seen the quality score changes due to no-indexing of the page.
I would highly recommend not changing the title tag to add something irrelevant as title tag have a direct impact on quality score!

Are there any recent studies of organic CTR vs. PPC CTR?
Pretty much the title. I am putting together a "game plan" for my CEO, where I would like to touch on the difference in CTR between SERP organic results and SERP PPC results. I've found a few blog posts that talks about PPC being responsible for 15% of all clicks, where 1-5 organic results are responsible for 68ish % and the rest being on 6-10 and page 2/3. However, I do not see any sources in these articles, which begs the question, where are these numbers taken from? Any suggestions? My own gut feeling (and SERP behaviour) tells me that these numbers might actually be super accurate, but since my business plan will most likely end up in the hands of our board of directors, I would very much like to back up my action points for growth, with actual sources. Thanks in advance.

Google Analytics CPC and PPC not Matching
Hi Why do our CPC in Google Analytic not match our PPC in Adword, surely they should be identical? We have Auto-tagging switched on and data in our history is wrong so it is not a timing issue. Thanks

Facebook PPC. Using Google URL Builder - Now What?
Hey There! So I've been trying some FB PPC ads. I recently learned I needed to use Google's URL builder to add the appropriate tracking fields into the URL (source, campaign, etc). The FB ad link now uses a custom URL with all the correct parameters. Now what do I do in analytics? Do I create a filter? A goal? Getting a little dizzy going in circles with google analytic help, and I'm hoping someone here can direct me. Thanks! -Dan

Why is my now banned page considered a bridge page?
Google adwords have banned my adwords because my personal blog post is a "bridge" page http://firstconversion.com/the-pasty-shop-is-not-a-fast-food-chain/ Can anyone explain how this vanilla wordpress blog is a spam bridge page? They give me 3 options to rectify this, none of which make any sense To comply with our policies, the options below are available: Option 1: Refine your web page so that it contains a substantial amount of

original content. This content should be related to your ad text and
should stand independently of the links on your page that redirect users
to other sites. This includes any affiliate links on your site. In
addition, the site should have an overall unique look and feel. Examples of original content include, but are not limited to: Tips and information for consumers considering the product or service Competitor pricing and feature comparisons Unique and informative reviews and customer feedback Links to relevant articles This content shouldn't be derived directly from other sites or a parent
site. - the content is 100% unique, written by me Option 2: Redesign your web page to offer multiple, competing offers from
different companies for related services. For example, a web page
promoting a specific marketing strategy book could have links to four
online bookstores from which one could purchase the book. - theres nothign to do with services offfers, or competitions, or any type of monetization Option 3: Link directly to the end site, using the appropriate Display
URL. - there are no end sites Cheers Stephen1 -
Running Adwords Campaigns to show Improvement in Organic Traffic
Hi mozers, I have a new client who contacted because his organic traffic dropped all of a sudden from 5000 visits per month to 300 visits per month. I have been reviewing his website profile and there are several reasons that take me to beleave the agency that managed his account until 3 months ago, was doing PPC to show improvement in the orgranic (SEO Service) traffic. 1. The Website was showing traffic for several highly competitive keywords 2. Most of the traffic 95% was driven to the home page with several groups of keywords 3. The website has just a few external links with anchor text not related to keywords sending traffic. Is anyone familiar with this type of practice? Thanks in advanced.

Adwords Quality Score and On-Page SEO
I'm trying to convince a large, multinational company that is very resistant to change, into making my on-page SEO changes. Compounding this resistance is the fact that the Analytics, SEO, PPC, and web dev departments are all under different people and they don't communicate very well. So, in order to get them to work together, I've decided to appeal to the places where they are sensitive; e.g., the PPC department where they surely have the desire to be more efficient with their budget. To appeal to this sensitivity, and with my goal of getting on-page changes done to help the SEO dept, I'm considering making the argument that my on-page changes will raise their quality score which will in turn lower the amount they are spending on PPC. Basically, is this a fair argument? Do you have an evidence to back this up? Best in the Midwest, Phil p.s. Hi, Joanna 😉
