Oversights in PPC Campaign Optimization

Top 11 common oversights in Paid Search Best Practices



  1. Failure to track; track the right things or the right level: the closer you can get to tracking immediate and long-term profit, the better.

  2. Leaving the content network on, without testing: Just because the default is ON, that doesn't mean it's the right decision. Contextual advertising can be valuable, but again it can drive to unrelated traffic. (Often, it works best in segregated campaigns.)

  3. Poor foundational keyword research and expansion: Keyword research never stops. While there's a point of diminishing marginal returns to adding additional exact match keywords to a campaign, most businesses change over time, requiring a review of keyword opportunities. Seasonal businesses require even more vigilance. Don't lose business opportunities by missing keyword opportunities.
