85% OF GOOGLE’S REVENUE CAME FROM

ADWORDS IN 2013”

Page 4: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

So where did it all

begin?

Page 5: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Google AdWords launched on October

22nd 2000

Page 6: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Google differentiated between organic listings

and sponsored ads.

Page 7: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Comparing ads from 2000 to 2015, they are

VERY different.

Page 8: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

The lines are blurring and it is hard to see

where the ads end and organic starts.

Page 9: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai
Page 10: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Shall we take a look

at Google Shopping?

Page 11: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Google rolled out over 1,000 changes

to the AdWords ecosystem in 2013.

Page 12: Digital Marketing within the Retail Sector: Sam Noble, Koozai

Lots of those changes were related to

Google Shopping campaigns.

priorities to dictate importance.
