Search Query reports in DoubleClick Search – DS3

google-doubleclick

DoubleClick Search V3, better known as DS3, will be capable of giving you a way to make statements regarding search queries. These statements will provide a deeper look into the precise terms that direct traffic to your websites and the money you’ve been making off of them.

As many web marketers know, because of the way search engine keyword matching works, ads are usually generated for more queries than the precise keywords you’ve paid for. Although this can be a good thing, much of the time, you may wish to look at the exact search terms that have brought up your ads as well as how they impact your earnings.

See Queries

In order to understand the return of investment (ROI) of the search queries, simply find the specific ad or campaign under the user interface and choose “search queries” from the tabs displayed above the graph summarizing your performance. This will show you the search terms and the visits and income associated with them.

Download the Reports

Click on the “download tab” above the reporting table if you’d like to produce a report of search query data. Inside of the download settings panel, you’ll be able to select “schedule report” in order to have this report downloaded on a regular basis.

Add Terms

If you notice a search term that you suspect may do better with a larger bid and you haven’t already bid on it, you can add them to your campaign. Just choose the terms in the list and select “add keywords”. You can also reduce your expenses and boost your return of investment by using negative keywords from the query list. If you want to do this, just choose a query and select the “add campaign” negatives or “add ad group” negatives buttons.

If you want to stay updated on the latest news, keep an eye on our blog for the final release of the search query reporting feature. This only marks the beginning of DS3′s advanced reporting and we plan on adding more information in order to help you find a greater understanding of your keywords in the future.

Samsung Pays Apple $1 Billion Sending 30 Trucks Full of 5 Cents Coins

This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived atApple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.

the funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best.

This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Appleexecutives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins.

Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.

Google Acquires Frommer`s Travel Guides

By: Terri Wells

From SEO Chat

Last week, Google announced that it agreed to acquire the Frommer’s brand, publications, and content from publishing house John Wiley & Sons. The travel guide content should go nicely with the search giant’s purchase of Zagat restaurant guide company last year.

Terms for the deal were not disclosed, though the Wall Street Journal claimed that Google paid around $25 million for the travel guide firm, citing “a person briefed on the deal” as its source. The WSJ also reported that Google wanted the business to help it “attract more advertising dollars tied to online-travel bookings and local-business information.”

How would this work? Google could show Frommer’s travel guide content in its search results – it owns the content now, after all – and sell travel-related ads against the content. Google could also use the content to create tools to help users in booking travel arrangements. It’s also likely that Google will add Frommer’s information to its Google+ local business listings, as it did with Zagat’s information after acquiring that company. Indeed, the search company specifically said that it will blend the Frommer’s brand with the Zagat brand. Frommer’s information might also find its way into Google Maps.

This move puts Google even more directly into competition with websites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor. The big difference, of course, is that the latter sites use crowdsourced information, while Zagat and Frommer’s content comes from experts. On the other hand, Google’s travel and local business information includes comments and reviews from customers as well, though probably not nearly as many as one can find on Yelp and TripAdvisor.

The WSJ believes the purchase of Frommer’s is part of Google’s growing love affair with professional content, and points to a $350 million investment by the company in professional-grade videos for YouTube as evidence. It did acknowledge that one of the company’s other efforts to collect content from experts – Google Knol – got eliminated by CEO Larry Page, for being an underperforming service.

Greg Stirling over at Search Engine Land observed that, however you slice it, Google just acquired a whole lot of content – a treasure trove that is, in fact, “both larger and more diverse than its previous major content acquisition in publisher Zagat.” One has to wonder what Google will do with it, and whether it will start privileging its own content over other websites’ content in the search results, as some have already accused them of doing.

So what exactly did Google get in the deal? It’s true that the brand is the thing – Frommer’s got its start in 1957 when founder Arthur Frommer published “Europe on Five Dollars a Day” – but Google is getting much more than a well-known name. Sterling noted that “In addition to its website, paper travel guides and other assets Frommer’s has a number of mobile travel apps.” No doubt the search giant will find a way to use those apps as is, or adapt them to generate more revenue.
