How Google Ranks Ads

Page 17: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

In this section we’ll cover...

• How the AdWords auction works

• How Google calculates your place in the auction

• What’s Max CPC?

• How Quality Score is calculated

• How all this affects what you pay for a click

Page 18: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

How does AdWords work?

Instant Auction

A live auction is run for every search

Ad Position = Quality x Your Bid

Quality Factors:

Clickthrough rate, keyword relevance, ad relevance and historical performance

Page 19: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

Everyone wants to be in position #1? Is This Best?

The position of each ad is determined using a ranking formula.

Page 20: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

The magic ad ranking formula

Cost-Per-Click Bid (Max. CPC)

Quality Score= x

The Bottom Line:

If you have a great Quality Score, you can still show in a high position with a low bid

Page 21: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

What is your Max CPC?

• The maximum price you are prepared to pay for a click

• Your ‘bid’ in the AdWords auction

Page 22: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

What is Quality Score?

• A measure of how relevant and useful your ads are.

• Do your ads & keywords provide a good user experience?

OK

GREAT

Page 36: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

In this section we’ll cover...

• How to begin building your keyword list

• How to apply the “Goldilocks” principle

• Keywords match types

• The Google Keyword Tool

Page 37: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

Building a keyword list

• Brainstorm business

• Review website

• Think like a customer

• Focus on what differentiates

• Include plural & singular versions

• Include spelling mistakes & variations

• Include product numbers & codes

Page 38: Google & Online Marketing Seminar Helping You Build Your Online Presence

Use the ‘Goldilocks principle’ to pick keywords

Too General Just Right Too Specific

vacation

tax

store

bags

accounting

florida vacation rental

tax preparation nashville

dvd storage

handmade leather bags

cheap accounting software

3 br vacation rental grayton beach

tax preparation service nolensville rd

faux leather storage for dvd box sets

handmade black croc leather handbags

accounting software for petsitting biz

• Add all relevant keyword variations: singular/plural and synonyms

• Keyword combinations, accent marks (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, ü, etc.)

• Make keywords specific to your product or service

What happens if my keyword is too general?

Example keyword ‘vacation’ -- your ad might show for:

vacation rental

vacation deals

vacation ideas

vacations for kids

vacations for singles

vacations for veterans

National lampoon’s european vacation

permanent vacation lyrics

The go-go’s vacation

disney vacation club

pictures from our vacation by lynne rae perkins
