Digital Marketing Nanodegree Program
Udacity is working to attract students for this Digital Marketing Nanodegree
Program. More specifically, to collect email addresses of potential students who
might be interested in taking this course. In order to do this, we have created a

provide us with their email address. The eBook – a Social Media Advertising Guide

3.CPLC (cost per link click)
CPLC = Amount spent / number of link click
4.Click To Lead Rate
Click to lead rate = ( number of leads / number of clicks ) * 100
5.Cost per Results
CPR = Amount spent / Number of results

15. C. Based on the “Key Results” table, identify which ad performed best, and explain why
you think this was the case.
-Cost per result for each ad :
Ad one = 20.20$ / Ad two = 13.25$ / Ad three = 17.17$
-Based on the CPR for each ad ( The second ad performed best ) , As it has the lowest
CPR ( least cost ) , also according to impression , reach and link clicks rate we will find that
this is the best ad .

16. D. How would you optimize the campaign, and explain why do you think so?
- The campaign was optimized through the A/B testing for the photo of the ad . There were 3
different photos . The photo of the second ad ( photo of the e-book cover ) performed the best .
That’s because the photo was related to the ad content more than the other photos .

performed, based on the marketing objective.
- The campaign was well performed and successful . The main objective of the campaign was to

got the highest performance according to the number of impressions , also the
highest reach and the lowest cost per result .
○ Would you change any of the existing ad copy or add any new
ones?What would you add or change and why?
-Yes , I will add more catchy words in the ad copy to catch audience attention
such as : “ The world is going digital “, “Now you can be a marketer “ , “ Your
successful career starts here “ or “ It is time for digital world “ . Also we can add
some hashtags such as : #Digital_Marketing , #Digital_world ,
#Nanodegree_program #Udacity .

-I will either make A/B testing for the headline to know which will be the best ad
with best performance or will make it to the image to test which one will be more
catchy to the audience .

20. ○ Would you make changes to the landing page, and if so, what kind of
changes and why?
-we can change the CTA of the landing page from ( Download ) to (Get your
e-book) , to be more attractive and will give them the idea that this is only for
their interest .

think so?
-The campaign was optimized through the A/B testing for the photo of the ad . There were
3 different photos . The photo of the second ad ( photo of the e-book cover ) performed
the best . That’s because the photo was related to the ad content more than the other
photos .
