Search Advertising Video: Google Adwords Guide

Search Advertising Video: Google Adwords Guide

 

Recently Hal Varian, Google's Chief Economist, posted a video on YouTube where he explained exactly how the Google Ad Auction works.

In this video he demystified the relationship between how quality score, clickthru rate and on page relevancy affect your ppc costs and your ad position. A lot of this information is well known, but to hear it from Google themselves is better than any other source, and he teaches it in a way that makes it very easy to understand.

This information should make it a lot easier for you to understand how to manage your Google adwords campaigns.

I'm interested to hear what people think of this video, please comment below after watching it.

Wow i've heard a few ways that the cost per click was worked out, but was never 100% sure what to trust, now that i've heard it from the man from google i know what sort of tactics to be using to get ads in the positions i want.

This is a must watch for anyone doing PPC

This really highlights the importance of writing ads with high relevancy and good linkbait - Hal makes it clear that click-thru rate is more important than anything else in determining QS.

Use the bullet point tool in the Tools section of Affilorama.com - good headline generator!
