  • Conversion Rate Prediction in Search Engine Marketing
    Conversion Rate Prediction in Search Engine Marketing A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences by Razieh Nabi-Abdolyousefi in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Conversion Rate Prediction in Search Engine Marketing Razieh Nabi-Abdolyousefi Abstract Search engines hold online auctions among search advertisers who are bidding for the advertisement slots in the search engine results pages. Search engines employ a pay- per-click model in which advertisers are charged whenever their ads are clicked by users. If a user clicks on an ad and then takes a particular action, which the corresponding advertiser has defined as valuable to her business, such as an online purchase, or signing up for a newsletter, or a phone call, then the user's action is counted as a conversion. A naive estimate of the conversion rate (CR) of an ad is the average number of conversions per click. The average number of clicks and the average position of the ad also affect its conversion rate. However, all such ad statistics are heuristics at best. The challenge here is that there is no performance statistics accrued for the newly created ads. In order to get any kind of performance data, new ads have to be advertised first and precious marketing dollars have to be spent. If CR estimates are precise, then advertisers can manage their campaigns more effectively and can have a better return on their invest- ments. Alternatively, one can use the available data for the existing ads and engineer a set of features that best characterize conversions for an advertisement campaign in general.

An Empirical Analysis of Search Engine Advertising: Sponsored Search in Electronic Markets Abstract The phenomenon of sponsored search advertising—where advertisers pay a fee to Internet search engines to be displayed alongside organic (nonsponsored) Web search results—is gaining ground as the largest source of revenues for search engines. Using a unique six-month panel data set of several hundred keywords collected from a large nationwide retailer that advertises on Google, we empirically model the relationship between different sponsored search metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, cost per click, and ranking of advertisements. Our paper proposes a novel framework to better understand the factors that drive differences in these metrics. We use a hierarchical Bayesian modeling framework and estimate the model using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Using a simultaneous equations model, we quantify the relationship between various keyword characteristics, position of the advertisement, and the landing page quality score on consumer search and purchase behavior as well as on advertiser's cost per click and the search engine's ranking decision.

  • (PPC) Advertising Audit
    How to Do Your Own Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising Audit A Hands-On Guide Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising is a moving target. A pay-per-click (PPC) advertising audit gives you a competitive edge in a dynamic environment. You’re competing to attract well-targeted visitors who will convert to leads, sales and ROI in a constantly changing environment. To meet customer’s search expectations, your products, promotions and marketing strategies need to evolve, requiring the creation of new campaigns. Your limited PPC budget needs to have the most impact. And, of course, search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo! regularly move the goal posts to keep offerings fresh and thwart marketers who try to game the system. Did you have some initial success when you first set up your PPC accounts on Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Microsoft Advertising (Formerly Bing Ads. And did you know Yahoo! advertising is now part of Microsoft Advertising?) Then, after a while as your PPC campaigns grew there was no improvement or even a decline in results? It could be you’re making a series of small mistakes that get magnified over time. A PPC advertising audit identifies tweaks that can improve your campaigns. All these are good reasons to conduct regular PPC audits. In this Hands-On Guide we’ll show you what to look for, and also walk you through improving two of the major areas that most audits identify for improvement: Quality Score and Ad Extensions.

  • THE PROPOSED GOOGLE-YAHOO ALLIANCE an Antitrust White Paper September 23, 2008 Norman Hawker1 Introduction Google and Yahoo
    THE PROPOSED GOOGLE-YAHOO ALLIANCE An Antitrust White Paper September 23, 2008 Norman Hawker1 Introduction Google and Yahoo, the two largest providers of paid search advertising, reached an agreement earlier this summer whereby Yahoo would be able to display paid search advertising from Google. With a U.S. market share approaching 70% to 80% depending on how the market is defined, Google would already be considered a near-monopolist under traditional antitrust standards, and the combined market share of Google and Yahoo would likely exceed 90%. The parties agreed to delay implementation of their agreement for three and a half months to facilitate a review of the arrangement by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. Since that time competition authorities in both Canada and the European Union have stated their intentions to review the agreement. The review of the proposed agreement must address the central question of how the Google/Yahoo deal will affect competition in the paid search advertising market. Will it help solidify Google's monopoly power? Or will it maintain the current level of competition and infuse Yahoo with enough capital to enable it to better compete with its wealthier rivals? Will this transaction lead to the demise - or the resuscitation-of Yahoo? Keeping Yahoo in the market as a viable competitor should be the government’s the primary goal as it undertakes its review of the proposed arrangement. The loss of an innovative 1 Norman Hawker is a Senior Fellow of the American Antitrust Institute (“AAI”) and Professor, Western Michigan University.
