Contextual Is Not Search • Readers are not searching for you • More like banner or print advertising • Very useful for branding
Keyword Differences • Keywords are not discrete entities • Keywords + Ad = Theme • No more than 50 keywords per ad group
More Keyword Differences • Match types are irrelevant (except negative) • Liberal use of negative keywords (but they don’t always work)
Ad Copy Differences • Ads need to stand out • Yell, don’t whisper • Be more competitive – e.g. free shipping • Test, test, test
Ad Position Differences • Magic positions for Search are 1-3 • Magic positions for Content are 1-4 • Above 5, impressions drop dramatically • Quality Score still counts
Overall Advice • Set up separate Content campaigns • Test multiple ads • Monitor closely • Start bids low, go high
Pre-Announcing… • Google Placement Performance Reports • Shows performance (clicks, conversions) by site where ads served
