If you’ve sat in a marketing meeting lately you may have heard the ever evolving question of online marketing today, “How can we add social networking to our site?” Google may have mastered a way to do this, and it’s a very simple process.

On April 18th, the AdWords blog announced the inclusion of a new feature in the conversion tracking tool-set. This new feature gives advertisers the ability to customize conversion reporting with conversion types, otherwise known as Actions. Instead of tracking conversions as a cumulative total, advertisers can now track various actions independent of each other.
You can now define the actions that are most important to your business and track conversions on each of those actions independently.
Conversions can now …
Hat-tip to Stuart Brown for the “Google is a Giant Robot” Image
Back in February we announced Google’s intention to change their Display URL policy. Well, more accurately, their intention to strictly enforce policies they’ve had for some time! In the weeks that followed, Google made it’s own announcement and other sites put in their …
I just got an update from my Google rep about the addition of account performance graphs that are going to be added in the next few weeks in the ‘my change history tool’. These new additions will show you how changes you make to your account effect your account performance. “These graphs will give you greater visibility into event causality and arm you with insight into how the changes you make impact your account’s performance,” says Google.

About two weeks ago I wrote on the new Google Adwords Benchmarking beta for select advertisers. For a quick recap, the new benchmarking beta involves sharing your Google Analytics data with Google so that they can compare your website metrics against other similar websites. The purpose is to compare your stats with other related companies to see how you measure up. Perhaps there are areas you need to work on where you fall short; like having a higher …
For many PPC managers the Google AdWords’ content network is still a scary place. Much like a horror movie, the monster is always scarier when you can’t see it. But once it’s within sight, it’s not so bad – much like Cloverfield. Okay, maybe the content network isn’t scary in a giant-monster-sort-of-way, but it can be frightening in regards to your ROI. And rightfully so. In the past, the major roadblock for a successful content network …
In February Dan from Seofaststart.com wrote on the new Google Adwords Automatic Matching feature that is now in beta. While Dan firmly disapproves of this new feature, I find it difficult to form an opinion until I try it for myself. I do however agree with Dan on the issue that Google could be advertising for keywords that would not drive the most targeted traffic to your site, even though they say they will show your ads …
Late last week, several of my PPC clients received emails from Google concerning the relationship between their AdWords and Analytics accounts. According to the opening lines of the message, my clients’ accounts were not properly linked and I had until March 5th to fix the problem.
It’s come to our attention that your AdWords account has not been properly linked with your Google Analytics account. If you do not link your accounts by March 5, 2008, we cannot ensure that your …
As of April 1, Google will be making significant changes to their enforcement of display URL policies. The “Policy Team” has taken a stricter stance on the relationship between display URLs and destination URLs — and they will be allowing few exceptions to their rules. In short, if your destination URL is www.example.com, your display URL must be www.example.com. Just to alleviate any confusion: display URLs are what is displayed in your ad text – destination URLs …
Google has recently released new PPC targeting options: demographic targeting. With this option you can specify the age and gender you would like to target with your PPC ads. Currently, this option is available to a limited number of AdWords advertisers. Like that of MSN, age and gender targeting in AdWords allows advertisers to select a specific gender and age group for each campaign. For example, if you own an online wedding store you could select …
