My business partner was watching PPC formula 2.0 and wrote down the following content network tips.

Is there anything else we should know?


· 800x more traffic
· Google determines where to place ads based on ads and keywords
· QS not as intense
· CN: Interruption marketing - MUST GET THE PROSPECTS ATTENTION
· Need to set up separate campaign for the content network
· No KW variations - keep it broad
· Lump up 5-10 keywords in campaign
· Track results in google adwords --> conversion pixel --> weed out poor performing sites (Placement Report --> check conversions all the way down the domain level.)
· Use both text and image ads and video ads --> gives more impressions --> some websites only accept one or the other
o Always split test variations of the AD - 2x all types of image ads.
o Increase impressions, increase exposure, reduce CPC
o Ensure that we create NEGATIVE KEYWORDS.
· Engage the prospect - Interrupt marketing - shocking headline, right a question in headline, write ad specific to the website --> engaging the reader.
· Always separate image ad campaign and text ads into spearate ad groups OR ad campaigns.
· Image ads eCPM > then 4 text ads eCPM in order to trigger.
o Money google makes from my image ad must be greater then the sum of the closest 4 text ads.
o To achieve this the CTR must be approx 4x where the CPC are similar
o Image ad has control over the entire block - more room to craft the ad - should be higher
o Image ad - bid higher then would normally. This will get the ad displayed on websites - in good positions that will maximised the CTR. Increase eCPM.
o Continually split-test the ads to ensure that CTR is maximised.
Placement Report:

· Need Google Conversion Pixel set up on page after the form has been submitted
· Placement Performance Report - what web pages are performing.

    -Google determines where to place ads based on ads and keywords + your landing page
    - Always split test variations of the AD - 2x all types of image ads. Be careful split testing text ads. When you pause or delete an ad, the text in that ad could have been contributing to where your ads were being distributed. With text ads, let Google optimize ads.
    -Ensure that we create NEGATIVE KEYWORDS. Take advantage of Google's standard category exclusions (parked domains, social sites, etc.) and also consider using negative category exclusions for more control over where your ads are NOT shown.
    -When reviewing placement performance reports for potential site exclusions - exclude at the category or page level and not at the top level domain; exclude at the AdGroup and not at the campaign level; for top level domain exclusions or category site exclusions, make sure your report goes back at least a month or more or you might accidentally delete a converting domain.
