2. Display
• Most effective display strategy for e-commerce –
Re-Targeting
• Issues to be aware of while re-targeting:
a. Doing untargeted advertising in other channels including affiliates can
dilute your retargeting cookie pools unless you do segment based
retargeting.
e.g. using pop-unders to boost visitors to site can boomerang on your re-targeting capabilities
b. Be careful of over-attribution to re-targeting – big problem with CPA based
campaigns on re-targeting. Recommend doing CPM buys
c. Must-have data management platform to do effective retargeting.

Optimize Website & Drive Visits
for Head Tail keywords With Long Tail Keywords
Generic keywords that Phrases your visitors use
define your business to find your products
(i.e. shoes store) (i.e.reebok shoes in delhi)
Traditional SEO Nano-site approach
8. Why Long Tail Keywords ?
• 94% of searches are long tail keywords (Hitwise)
• Long-tail keywords offers great advantages for marketers
– Real interest in the product or service: the user has a real need
– Target experienced searchers
– Better conversion rates
– Less competition
– Easy to get better rankings
• Google Instant (Sept 2010): Results appear and change as the keyword
phrase in the search box is edited. No more scrolling,
• Google Search algorithm change (May 2010) has now the ability to index
longer phrases
9. The Nano-site Approach
• Create a unique landing page for every long tail keyword
you want to target

and lower CPCs if you want

11. Search - PPC
• What works best for us –
- Product Specific Ad groups
- High intent keywords in each ad group
- Each ad-group clicking through to a product detail page
- Using product price on ad-text to dissuade customers who can’t afford it
• Benefit :
- Leads to lower CPCs, higher quality scores
• Flipside:
- Difficult to do manually. Prices change, availability changes. Too much bid
management overhead. Hundreds of thousands of adgroups.

16. Social – Facebook Ads
• Use Facebook to rapidly test out creatives without needing a designer. Think
of FB as a marketing research tool in addition to a media vehicle.
“SPLIT - TEST – SPLIT – TEST. RINSE & REPEAT”
• Instead of one campaign targeting 22-35 year old male & female interested
in Fashion – split it into thousands of campaigns
An Example :
31 years, male, mumbai, interested in #Designer Shoes, College Grad
22 years, female, delhi, interested in #Designer Bags, in College
• Measure conversions, CPA and optimize bids across each of the splits

tag the click through URLs with their email
addresses, so you can pinpoint and remarket to

enough to just ensure sender domain is different.
Message body URL blacklists are increasingly being
used by inbox providers.

coupons before converting

which are not necessarily generated by them

coupons “xyz.com discount coupon”
36. Audience
• You only make money from paid-for customers if they buy
repeatedly from you.
• Implication: The ONLY way to extract ROI is to mine the
data to fetch them back, and personalize your interactions
