The document discusses arguments for and against search engine advertising (SEA) and search engine optimization (SEO). It summarizes two case studies where branded SEA campaigns were paused, resulting in losses of traffic, leads, orders, and revenue. While generic SEO and SEA campaigns saw some gains, they did not compensate for losses from pausing branded campaigns. The document concludes that pausing branded campaigns can negatively impact performance and growth. It advises using SEA for marketing visibility, control, and defensive purposes while being careful with testing, as SEO is not truly "free" and SEA can have incremental effects.

Long Live Performance Marketing_Nick CristalPerformanceIN
Whilst OPM studies have shown consistent growth in affiliate marketing & lead generation, what is happening in the wider performance mix - with paid social, paid search and programmatic - is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
The link between affiliate marketing and performance media is increasingly prevalent, what with the channel's ability to reward super affiliates, an increase in quality content publishers and the rise in attribution and automation. The desire for a cross-channel performance journey is increasing as the approaches and strategies of yesterday head for the door.
Under the impression that looking at the affiliate channel in a silo with separate budgets, goals and outcomes may not be the wisest move, Nick Cristal of UK performance agency Maxus will lay out the inner workings of a unified performance strategy whilst exploring the opportunities, tools, methodologies and mindsets required by media owners, affiliates and advertisers.
Attendees can expect a highly in-depth review of the multi-channel way of working, and methods of getting this into their campaigns.

Your ecommerce or b2c site is not only for attracting customers and making one-time sales. You can inspire and persuade customers to come back again and again.
That’s what SEO is meant to be. Because real businesses that impact our lives aren’t built overnight, neither would they vanish within a week. They thrive because customers love them.
Driving traffic is easy, but turning those clicks into valuable leads is an art and a science.
Take to Jon Ostler's Dome session to see how landing page CRO (conversion rate optimisation) can turbocharge your lead generation campaign through simple tweaks that will instantly boost your performance.
Ostler's session will also go into ways of eliminating fraudulent leads, insight on different types of traffic and the technologies that can do some of the hard work for you.

14. Our testing @ Semetis
Theory
Case 1 – Retail
Case 2 – e-Commerce
15. • Semetis Experience
– SEA Brand strategy = Traffic +10%
– SEA Brand strategy = Conversions +20%
– Interactions between SEA Brand & Generic campaigns
• Marketing, Control & Cost
– SEA = Additional Marketing (extentions, Google local,…)
– Control of costs & USP
– Low cost
• Defensive Marketing & systemic effect
– Competitor buying/appearing on my Brand
– Positive effect on account
Why should I buy my own Brand?
Theory
16. 1. Brand Campaigns
Global loss in Search (Natural & Paid) traffic and conversions. The
Organic does not recover all SEA branded visits and conversions!
2. Generic Campaigns
Partial recovery of the traffic loss from the Brand Off but not enough
to compensate it. Search (Natural & Paid) traffic and conversions were
still lower than the weeks before.

22. Recap
Arguments against brand buying:
Cannibalization, SEO is free, brand = navigational tool.
Arguments in favor of SEA + SEO:
Marketing visibility, control, defensive marketing, low cost
for brand, systemic effect.
Case 1 – Retail & Case 2 – eCommerce
Slight cannibalization, but SEA has an incremental effect.
Overal loss of performance & growth
SEA generic not enough to compensate SEA brand
23. Be careful with testing
Appearing in the top position does not guarantee a click
Ranking in top organic positions is not a guarantee either.
eBay has almost become a generic term. Is your brand as strong?
SEA can be a smart agressive strategy for a new site launch
Search Funnel: SEA ≠ SEO
Search Funnel: Generic ≠ Brand
SEO is not free
Observations and Suggestions
Whoam I? eBusiness consultant.SEA = Google, Bing, Yahoo, … but focused on AdWords as itis more dominant and relevant in BEDouble focus: SEA , and Brand only SEA
