Bad Data, Poor Decisions. Be Careful What You Watch
Nobody in their right mind wants to do shoot in the dark advertising. There is simply too much chance of poor figures and wasted money to arbitrarily post an advertisement and see what happens. It is why ad testing is done; to narrow the probability of poor sales figures and increase the chances of strong revenue the same time. When advertising manager must keep in mind is that ad testing is like any other statistical tests. Data problems can cause nightmares.
Google allows for some very sophisticated testing of ads that can uncover a great deal of information. However, the old adage of “garbage in, garbage out” will apply to any ad testing. It is how the data is gathered and then interpreted. Here are some externalities that can affect the data collected in any ad testing.
Your Ad Tests are Going to Need Solid Metrics
Tight budgets and stiff competition don’t leave much room for mistakes. Those are probably the greatest reasons why AD testing is so important. It takes away some of the uncertainty and allows an advertising campaign to be more rifled and less of a scatter gun affair. Optimal outcomes happens when the testing shows there is one particular ad that really sells and causes major profits to be generated. That is something any advertising manager wants to have happen. The concept of testing is pretty straightforward. You can have several ads running simultaneously and check the results to see which one is the best. That essentially is what Ad testing is all about.

CPA Bidding Can be Even More Effective for You
Google CPA bidding definitely has its good points but unfortunately the benefits can be very short-term. The bidding conducted will be useful but when the statistics are new then the bids have to be submitted once again. That can be the case with placements, landing pages, and any other data point that is within the given account. Data changes can disrupt things a little bit. Unlike landing pages, bids do not have a long-term life. Consequently, bids should be considered only something that will provide a brief positive result in the course of events. When that is recognized, more time can be spent on developing areas of long-term gain such as the ads, with a little less time spent on worried about bidding.

Estimated Total Conversion Packs a Profitable Punch
Advertisers who use conversion tracking in AdWords now have a better tool to get a more complete understanding of the conversions that are the result of using AdWords. It is called Estimated Total Conversions and permits an advertiser to not only see daily conversions such as online sales, but also new conversion types that occur including calls and cross-device conversions.
We know from market activity that consumers don’t stand still for very long. They are all over the board and they are connected to any number of devices with which to shop. That is great for business because it means that a person isn’t restricted to walking into a store or using a PC to make a transaction. At the same time, it can be a maddening experience. The same consumer that starts a purchase on a mobile application could easily finish it on a tablet. This can get very confusing particularly during holiday shopping seasons. What is great about estimated total conversions is that it offers the opportunity to better understand consumer behaviors with some insights that are derived from such activity. It can clearly have a positive benefit for measuring the results of any campaign, or period of activity.
