          I am relatively new to Adwords, and I can't figure out why the Adwords section of Analytics is showing all my site visitors at 0% bounce rate.  Does that mean the account connection is not done right?  Obviously Google ads are not a 0% bounce rate.

          If I can't get that to work, does anyone know how Google ads appear in Traffic?  Is it Direct or Referral?

          I'm sure there's some simple answer I'm just not aware of, I would appreciate anyone's help.

          Thanks!

            Hey Crystal, a couple things come to mind in this scenario.

            The first is the obvious stuff like duplicate GA tags, which in my experience cause 100% bounce rates, not 0%, but still could be a possible issue.

            The second is that something on the page is firing that causes a "single-visit but non-bounce session". The article linked earlier by Linda is a good explanation of this, but essentially there are multiple interactions a user can have on their first page of the site that would count as a non-bounce visit. They are:

            • Pageviews (sent via _trackPageview)
            • Events (sent via _trackEvent)
            • Ecommerce Items (sent via _addItem)
            • Ecommerce Transactions (sent via _trackTrans)
            • Social (sent via _trackSocial)
            • User Defined _deprecated, though functional _(sent via _setVar)
            • (Cited from http://www.analytics-ninja.com/blog/2012/06/google-analytics-bounce-rate-demystified.html)

            So, if the developers installed a tag that fired an event when PPC visitors land on the site, for example, that would cause a 0% bounce rate from PPC visitors, even if that user left without viewing another page. Not sure if that's your problem for certain, but it was the first issue that popped into my head. I haven't heard of a remarketing script firing one of these hits but could be the reason.

              Do you think it is possible that a GA code and an agency's codes on the same page would be conflicting?  The agency is doing remarketing for us.  (still 0% bounce rates)

                Yes, actually.  I had my web dev check out the codes, and there might be an issue with a second tracking code we have on the site for an agency we are working with for remarketing.  I haven't really figured out what to do yet.

                    Yes, you will have to wait a bit to see if that changes anything. But in the meantime, take a look at the source code of one of the pages that is reporting a zero bounce rate and see if the Analytics code is on the page twice. (Here is an article on bounce rates that has additional information, if that is not the answer.)

                      Yes, I thought I had.  I went and re-did it.  I also added columns into my Adwords for analytics. It's still showing all my bounce rates as 0%.  I suppose I will wait 24 hours and see if populates differently...

                        Going back a step, have you linked your Adwords and Analytics accounts? Here's how.

                          Something must be wrong because my Channels doesn't even have Paid Search listed.  I will look into it more.

                            Is your Analytics code present twice on the page? That could do it. And in Google Analytics, the medium for Adwords would be "cpc" or if you look in channels, it is "paid search".

                              Unsolved How should I update the grouping of keywords in a google ads account

                              ppc adwords

                              hi, I have a google adwords account running for a while in a fairly competitive market in a major city so there is only one geo location with many suburbs or council areas as popular searched. I have keywords that are 2-4 words long and very similar. I have had one keyword in its own campaign, several in one campaign and a location campaign. The location campaign has several adgroups for specific suburbs. My question is that the most popular search terms are similar but in different campaigns and I am wondering if this is not the best way. for example I have these keywords in separate campaigns as exact match and phrase match
                              rubbish removal
                              rubbish removal near me
                              rubbish removal Washington But the way google uses exact match seems to be changing and I am concerned these would be best in one adgroup. Also these keywords trigger similar phrases, for example, waste removal. Is it best to put them in one campaign with one ad group or one campaign with separate adgroups, or leave as is. As competition has increased I need to bid for top of page now and need to keep budget rises as little as possible..

                              Do IP and/or DNS changes impact Paid search (Adwords, Bing, etc.)

                              What impact (if any) does IP or DNS changes, have on paid search campaigns? We recently performed an upgrade to our sites that required a datacenter change (but within the same region East US)  and DNS change.  We believe there may have been an impact to our ad campaigns in the form of suppression of our ads following the change, specifically - Google Adwords. Is there any information regarding this issue or has anyone experienced this before? Thanks

                              Clients Keep Googling Themselves

                              Hi, I have a common problem with my clients where they google their own business name or keywords they want to rank for and freak out when they don't show up on the first page of results. The same is true for my paid search clients. Is there a good way I can explain to them how Googleing themselves is not the best way to know if they are performing well? If there is an article out there that explains it that I can share that would be even better.

                              AdWords & Iframes?

                              We have a client that has syndicated content across a variety of domains. They have no access to the domain/hosting for the site that the content is being syndicated on, but would like to run PPC campaigns to these pages. The page is a header, footer and then the main page content is inside of an iframe, and I was wondering if Google will even allow that to be used as a landing page for a PPC campaign? Thanks!

                              Does any of you had any experience on large 5k+ shared negative keyword lists impacting normal campaign negative keywords in Adwords even if they are not selected on these campaigns?

                              Google Shopping Feed being blocked by robots.txt

                              I had created a manual Google Shopping Feed that was working fine, and then someone well meaning put a block in my robots.txt file so Google couldn't read the images folder. because of this, Google now won't accept my feed. I changed the robots.txt file to allow them to read the images again, but it's been 3 days now and I'm still getting the error saying my products are disallowed because the robots.txt file won't let them scan for images. Does anyone know how long it will take for Google to see it again?

                              Hi guys, Aside from Google certification, can anyone suggest a good training program for Adwords? I'm studying their materials, but more formal training, where I can be tested in my knowledge and improve in certain areas as necessary. I want something with videos with demonstrations. Going from organic SEO to SEM and am frightened! Thanks,
