Window 1: ‘More Actions’ Drop Down for Custom Alert and Spreadsheet Edit

We have alert types for the following parameters which facilitate analysis of the best performance keyword, best suitable bid for a keyword etc.

  • Cost
  • Avg. CPC
  • CTR
  • Avg. Position
  • Number of Clicks
  • Number of Impressions

Cost: This alert will give us which keyword cost is lesser or greater than what we created in the condition.

Avg. CPC: If you want to maintain your Avg. CPC and set the condition as greater than $2.00, then you will get the alert-only keywords those are above $2.00

CTR: This is a more serious factor as far as quality score is concerned. So, set up a condition for your target. For example set the CTR < 2.00% to get keywords lesser than CTR value 2.00%. You can analyze these keywords and take decisions accordingly

Avg. Position: If you consider the Avg. position as the main factor, then set up alerts and analyze for the improvement.

Number of Clicks: If you run a campaign for traffic alone, then get the custom alert to know your clicks in a regular interval.

Number of Impressions: If you run a content network campaign and you want to closely monitor the impressions, then set alert to take decisions.

Spreadsheet Edit:
Spreadsheet Edit comes handy for all kinds of people who use spreadsheet. Previous interface provided the first page bid value and an intimation on how we need to modify it manually. But in this new interface, there is a provision to overcome that issue, we can set the formula whenever the first page bid increases, you can increase your Max CPC value for that keyword to keep that condition enabled.

For example, with G column as a first page bid and C as the maximum CPC, you can set the formula similar to the first page bid for maximum CPC. Here, the Formula =G2*1, so the first page will be equal to the maximum CPC value as shown in the following window:
