I work with multiple high spend/well known brand companies, and my advice at this point is to stay away. My company works with Yahoo's tech team to integrate their technology in our platform and believe me, they are still fixing so many things. Don't believe the hype that you'll lose 40%-60%...

In adwords you can set different bid strategies called "flexible bid strategies". The "target outranking share" rule automatically sets bids to help you outrank another domain's ads in search results. It won't let me post URLs, but there is a Google Help Center article about it.

The reason why you've read about it on here is that BHW is way more focused/catered to SEO than PPC. I've run campaigns from a couple of dollars to day to million+ dollar accounts (agency) and PPC works every time. You just need to know howto set it up properly and adhere to best practices. The...

Are you talking about YouTube or PPC? Seems odd if it was PPC that your primary KPI would be engagement with a video vs. phone calls, lead forms, etc.

3) "destination url is the category page display 10 items of similar products" So do you have the actual product or only "similar products"? If you only have similar products and not the actual product, I'm not surprised you don't have any conversions given your extremely small spend level...

Are you from outside the US and attempting to target the US marketplace? If so, an error will occur. Like Zwielicht states above, contact billing support. They are usually good about clearing issues up like this.

Quality score is made up of 3 components: -Expected CTR -Landing Page Relevance -Ad Relevance Go into the Adwords UI and hover over your quality score numbers. Google should tell you how each of your keyword's rank for each of these factors (on a scale from 1-10). Google also updated their...

It's not a matter or either or - for a holistic effective strategy you should do both. Utilize PPC to gain your initial traffic/traction while building up your SEO. Use the revenue gained from PPC to help your SEO efforts. After you start ranking the two will start working in tangent together...

Google just want to ensure that if you do decide to spend, they are there ready to take your money. As long as you don't set up a campaign to spend, they won't charge you for anything.

Always start with a lower budget like $1k - you will also look suspicious/fraudulent as a new account with a budget like that.

Adding to what neu009 said above - AdWords certification is nice but does not correlate to functional Adwords experience or knowledge. The test is free, easy to pass, and has many sections dedicated to knowing how to pay Google correctly (typical Google). As someone who currently works at an ad...
