Q. Where does paid search fit within the digital marketing mix?
![Page 12: Introduction To Paid Search Dave Chaffey For Ses](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051311/541656c78d7f722f6c8b4a18/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Q. Why paid search, not ‘PPC’Two main options for paid search marketing to be aware of when
media buying within search engines.1. Advertising in search engines (direct search) = CPC.2. Contextual or content matched advertising on the content
network, e.g. Google Adsense:– CPC = Cost per Click (default)– CPM = Cost per 1000 impressions – an option for ‘placement targeting’Pay per Click options now common in display ad network
Each of the main search engines has it’s own ad programme:
– Google Adwords (http://adwords.google.com)– Yahoo! Search Marketing (http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com, formerly
Overture) – Microsoft adCenter (http://adcenter.microsoft.com)

Understanding influence of Quality Score is ESSENTIAL
Tip: Check a selection of your Quality scores and relevance for keywords within AdWords Ad Groups
Glossary:CTR = Clickthrough rate
Ad text relevance = Match of headline and description to search term
Keyword relevance = Match of triggering keyword to search term
Landing page relevance = Match <title>, <h1..n> headings, copy
c. 2006 – formula no longer published. For latest see:https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=10215

Identifying common qualifiers – how long is tail?
<Product name> or <category name> or <brand>
What is your strategy for targeting:
Generic:– <category name> + synonyms
Qualifiers:– compare + <product name>– review + <product name>– cheap + <product name>
– Brand + <category name> This is called “Navigational search”
– <category name> + UK

Budgeting and biddingAm I missing out due to insufficient budgets?
– “Impression Share (IS): The percentage of times your ads were shown out of the total available impressions in the market you were targeting. This metric is available at the campaign and account level for search.
– Lost IS (Rank): The percentage of impressions lost due to low Ad Rank (cost-per-click bid x Quality Score).
– Lost IS (Budget): The percentage of impressions lost due to daily budget constraints.”
Things to remember:
– Highest positions not always best, e.g. Target position 4-8. – Higher positions cost more (of course) and
conversion quality tends to be lower– Working hard on quality score will reduce fees– Using match types gives you more control
