PPC
The “Key” to Adwords
The key to Adwords are your keywords, bid price, CTR and page quality score•Adwords work on the keywords people are searching on
How much you pay depends not on bid price alone but upon: -
– How much you bid– Your Click Through Rate (CTR)– Your Quality Score - Relevancy
Adwords
• Remember …..• One keyword per Ad .. + plurals
• Use negative keywords
• Include keyword in Headline
• Repeat keyword in body and Display URL
• Split test ads
• Test … times of day/week

You need a different strategy for each E.g. Simplistically, Adwords work on keywords used in searches whilst Facebook works on Interests
PR• Media NOT Press Releases• More than just student successes• Newsjacking• News distribution sites PR.com etc.
• Media articles• Plan ahead• Devise proactive merger/newbuild strategies• Be an Expert Source www.ExpertSources.co.uk • Be an Authority
