          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.

                  Hey Crystal, how is this going? Are you still seeing 0% bounce rates?

                    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..

                              I want to run google campaign for adwords and I want to target keywords that my competitor is ranking for. How can I know what are the keywords that are helping my competitors the most. Is there some way so that I can know what my competitor is bidding for those keywords. I heard it also depends on the landing page quality. Please suggest the best strategy to run adwords at lower cost and yet perform well. I am willing to run campaign for this website .  It is basically meant to connect manufacturers representatives and independent sales reps to businesses. Any suggestions are welcome.

                              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

                              Adwords Conversions - Trying to track button clicks that fire when Bootstrap modal contact form clicked/opened

                              Hi there, I'm trying to implement google adwords conversions on a particular client's website. They have used bootstrap as the framework for their site and mainly open up contact forms within a bootstrap modal, after a button is clicked. See here: http://www.gtwstorage.co.uk/ I thought I had successfully implemented the adwords conversion tracking however it has been a week now, and my conversions still say they are "unverified". I wonder if anyone else has encountered this before and knows what I might be doing wrong. Thank you in advance, Darren

                              How long does it ramp up a PPC campaign?

                              I was speaking to a SEO the other day.  He is going to be working on an ecommerce site soon.  I was suggesting that he might want to augment his SEO efforts with PPC in order to be able to show some results in the near term, as it would most likely take some time for his SEO work to be showing results. His response was that while he hasn't utilized them as much, he's found that it can take 3-6 months to get a PPC campaign to really make money.  I'm just curious if you guys feel that this is an accurate statement?

                              Increasing Google Ad spend - is it worth it

                              Hi We are currently spending approx £500 pcm on google ad words however if I increased this spend to £4000 pcm what kind of results would this achieve? For example would it just be more visits per day as the budget is larger? Also what is the best way to track the success of an adwords campaign - the ultimate goal of the campaign would be to generate a lead whether this be a phone call, email or using our book an appointment form. Our service covers a geographical area (Scotland) and for organic search we are doing well 1st pages listings for searches such as pvc doors edinburgh etc so I am unsure whether it's worth increasing my PPC spend or put more resource into SEO,  or even Facebook ads?

                              Adwords Bulk Discount

                              Had a few calls recently from agencies offering bulk discount on Google Adwords spends if we pass management over to them and spend more than £5,000 ($7,500) a month, they claim they can offer a 5% discount over what we're currently paying... Can't find anything about this, does Google offer such a deal to agencies?
