THE COMPETITIVE WORLD OF PLAs
Source: Delegator
85% OF GOOGLE’S REVENUE CAME FROM
ADWORDS IN 2013”
So where did it all
begin?
Google AdWords launched on October
22nd 2000
Google differentiated between organic listings
and sponsored ads.
Comparing ads from 2000 to 2015, they are
VERY different.
The lines are blurring and it is hard to see
where the ads end and organic starts.
Shall we take a look
at Google Shopping?
Google rolled out over 1,000 changes
to the AdWords ecosystem in 2013.
Lots of those changes were related to
Google Shopping campaigns.

Get the build right,
right from the start.
It is best is to have one ‘catch all’ campaign
along with other more targeted campaigns.
You could split campaigns by brand and then
by product within that brand.
Use Custom Labels (more on that later) for
Seasonal, High Return, ROI & Top Converters.
You may choose to create campaigns by
Product Type or Product Category.
If Condition is important to use, break down
campaigns by New, Used or Refurbished.
Set campaigns up with high, medium or low
priorities to dictate importance.
What ever structure you aim for, take things
slow and let the data drive your decisions.

field attributes for it to work.
