Ad Scheduling/DaypartingFollow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com

Failure to set daypartingcorrectly and test regularly isone of the greatest wastersof ad spend.

This is what makesDayparting valuable! If you know that users are converting higher (or not converting at all) during certain times/days, you can pause your campaigns or lower keyword bids during those times.

Allow ads to run 24 hours/day, 7 days/ week until you have a solid data set.Follow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com

You should always be testing. AdWords Experiments allows you to test changes on portions of your campaign to reduce risk.Follow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com

Some examples of what you can test: Keyword bid prices Adding or removing keywords Keyword match types Ad group structureFollow me on Twitter!: @annafsawyer trada.com

The difference betweenAdWords Experiments andtesting the old-fashionedway: instead of making achange and comparing thedata to how things used tobe, you can A/B test resultsin real time.

UnderSettings for agiven campaign,clickExperiment.

Click Specify experiment settings.Follow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com

From Google:The fastest way to collect results is a50-50 split, but if your experimental changes are risky orexpensive, such as doubling your bid, you might want tohave fewer auctions use your experiment. You cantchange this setting after you start your experiment.

Track results in Google Analytics by using a URL referrer to see whether trafﬁc is coming from your main campaign of your experiments.Follow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com

You will have to pay for clicks from your experiments. Keep this in mind when testing increased bid prices!Follow us on Twitter! @annafsawyer @fasterstill trada.com
