- 6. #thinkppc PPC #1: It’sJust Keywords • On the outside PPC is just about selecting the right keywords, right? – “Can’t you just add these 5,000 keywords to the account?” • Keywords are easy though, anyone can do those! • This view neglects CRO, ad writing, all the modifiers, the purchase cycle, closing rates, etc.

- 10. #thinkppc PPC #2: YouNeed to Be In the Top Spots • A lot of advertisers worry about losing top spots. – “Won’t my CTR decrease?” – “Won’t I lose traffic?” – Yes you will. But… • You don’t have to always be in the top spot to get conversions. The top spots cost a lot more too.
- 11. #thinkppc PPC #2 Continued •Take a look at your metrics, segmented by position. You might get a lot more traffic at the number 1 spot, but your CPA is much lower in the 2 spot. • Don’t bid higher just because you can.

- 15. #thinkppc PPC #3: YouDon’t Need to Bid on Brand “Isn’t bidding on Brand just paying for traffic you should bring in organically?” • Don’t worry about it! Branded traffic is already qualified and cheap. • Bidding on brand allows you to take up more of the search result space.
- 16. #thinkppc PPC #3 Continued •Brands are heavily favored in search results. – Bidding on brand allows you to take the spot of competitors who are bidding on your brand terms. – You could see extremely low CPAs and high ROAS. – Example: One E-Commerce client has an average CPA of $30 and ROAS of 450%. The Brand campaign has a $1.26 CPA and an ROAS of 12,600% – If you have a semi-known brand. Use it!

- 19. #thinkppc PPC #4: PPCJust Doesn’t Work For Me • Too often I see this mentioned when the advertiser only took Google’s suggestions or used a budget of $100 to test the waters. • While Google tries to bring down the barrier to entry, the game gets more and more competitive.
- 20. #thinkppc PPC #4 Continued •If you don’t invest in planning and organization, you can’t expect great results. • Don’t plan on winning right away but invest in gaining actionable data. • Even though PPC is heavily data driven and has a wealth of metrics, it will always come down to being able to interpret the data.
