Three Course Requirements and What You Should Do About Them Jim Jansen College of Information Sciences and Technology The Pennsylvania State University jjansen@ist.psu.edu

The Challenge Two written components One computed component This is a course, so major goal is the learning objectives, but … Two written components Pre-Campaign Strategy Post-Campaign Summary One computed component Campaign Statistics (what statistics were used for scoring?) … why not do your best? 2

Today, we are going to focus on the written reports …. Why? … Usually, good practice to start with the end in mind. Helps you focus.

The Scoring Algorithm Did not want to just look at performance Final algorithm incorporates 30 different signals in 5 categories Performance Account structure Tool and feature usage Advertiser savviness Budget management The Campaign Statistics algorithm will determine the top 50 accounts in each region. Independent Global Academic Panel will review the Pre-Campaign Strategy and Post-Campaign Summary reports of the top five teams in each region to determine the regional and global winners. It takes great Campaign Statistics to make the regional top five, and then great written reports to win!. So what did we actually decide on? We didn’t want to solely look at performance so we ended up incorporating 30 different signals within 5 distinct categories. Performance, as discussed earlier. Account structure Tool and feature usage Advertiser savviness Budget management To come up w/ the final list, we worked closely with focus groups consisting of AdWords Optimizers, Managers and Engineers and determined the ideal mix of signals, thresholds and weights based on their feedback. We then validated and refined the initial algorithm using Beta competition groups that started before the actual challenge. And based on qualitative rankings of those accounts, we fine-tuned and measured the performance of the algorithm. 4

Campaign Statistics Account structure: An excellent account structure mirrors the structure of the client’s Website campaign grouped by product lines each campaign contains multiple Ad Groups each Ad Group contains ad texts/variations specific to these subsections and a targeted and specific keyword list Good campaigns and good Ad groups! So what did we actually decide on? We didn’t want to solely look at performance so we ended up incorporating 30 different signals within 5 distinct categories. Performance, as discussed earlier. Account structure Tool and feature usage Advertiser savviness Budget management To come up w/ the final list, we worked closely with focus groups consisting of AdWords Optimizers, Managers and Engineers and determined the ideal mix of signals, thresholds and weights based on their feedback. We then validated and refined the initial algorithm using Beta competition groups that started before the actual challenge. And based on qualitative rankings of those accounts, we fine-tuned and measured the performance of the algorithm. 5

Campaign Statistics Optimization techniques how well you implement the optimization techniques and best practices how you optimized the Google network to your advantage (e.g. how effectively you used the content network) Use both search and content networks! Leverage the range of techniques! So what did we actually decide on? We didn’t want to solely look at performance so we ended up incorporating 30 different signals within 5 distinct categories. Performance, as discussed earlier. Account structure Tool and feature usage Advertiser savviness Budget management To come up w/ the final list, we worked closely with focus groups consisting of AdWords Optimizers, Managers and Engineers and determined the ideal mix of signals, thresholds and weights based on their feedback.

And based on qualitative rankings of those accounts, we fine-tuned and measured the performance of the algorithm. 6

Campaign Statistics Account activity & reporting Review and change your approach over time to ensure you get the most from your campaigns Use the Report Center and take actions as a result Utilize the report features to their max!

And based on qualitative rankings of those accounts, we fine-tuned and measured the performance of the algorithm. 7

Campaign Statistics Performance & budget effectively use your budget across your keywords throughout the competition edit the cost-per-click of individual keywords during campaign Continual monitor and adjust bids! Don’t go over budget! So what did we actually decide on? We didn’t want to solely look at performance so we ended up incorporating 30 different signals within 5 distinct categories. Performance, as discussed earlier. Account structure Tool and feature usage Advertiser savviness Budget management To come up w/ the final list, we worked closely with focus groups consisting of AdWords Optimizers, Managers and Engineers and determined the ideal mix of signals, thresholds and weights based on their feedback.

And based on qualitative rankings of those accounts, we fine-tuned and measured the performance of the algorithm. 8

Campaign Statistics Relevance Achieve a strong click-through rate Create relevant and effective advertising Revisit your campaigns and change where necessary Work to the best metrics possible, especially CTR!
