Thanks a lot for your help and answers

However as an affiliate, if you double serve in such a way you will be in contravention of their terms and conditions. If you get caught, they’ll shut down all your accounts and issue you with a lifetime Google ban. The best thing to do is work out which merchant is best to send particular traffic to.

Thanks for your reply,

After I read your reply I have found something that might show something different;

I run a few mobile campaigns where I am allowed to use the merchants URL and I checked a few keywords and some are not showing on all campaigns because of this message according to google:

———-

This particular search term is already associated with an ad from one of your other campaigns or ad groups. Only one ad per advertiser may appear on a given page per search term. When two or more of your ads are eligible for a single search term, we display the one with the highest ranking at the moment.

———-

The quality score is 10/10 and it is a good term for companies with cheap mobiles and as an affiliet it would be great if I could be shown for the same search term as it gives me a greater chance of converting.

It is different companies and they are competitors, but I guess I am double serving even though it is different companies and different URL’s. They have been setup with each their own campaign and ad groups.

What do you think of this?

Cheers and thanks for your question!

I’ll refer this to one of the others.

Thanks for a good site,

I have a side question, I have started running quite a few PPC campaigns though google and so far I have been using only one account – Some people have advised that I use a account for each of my campaigns as it should work better.

Can you comment on this as I run more than 40 campaigns on and off and having an account for each of them would mean that I have to put money in 40 accounts instead of one and I would not have a quick overview as I have now.

Thanks

@Shane, “Gathering data is the key regardless of budget” – Noted, I use ‘encrypted’ sub ids so I can see what converts best.

Everything’s going well thanks, and that wasn’t boring in the slightest!

It’s helpful to hear exactly how someone with the experience in PPC would go about doing it, as a lot of people seem to burn through their cash without thinking about it properly.

I’ve yet to delve into PPC, so it’s definitely helpful and I’m really enjoying these posts.

Incidentally, I also found a great post from Mark Boyd (@hairycornflakes) on his experiences with negative keywords at:

Cheers.
