\"\"<\/a>Here are some great tidbits gleaned from a Google sponsored seminar I attended recently on Google AdWords and the Conversion Optimizer.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using the Conversion Optimizer increases conversions an average of 21%.<\/li>\n
  2. The Conversion Optimizer decreases the cost per acquisition (CPA) on the average 14%.<\/li>\n
  3. The Conversion Optimizer will modify top converting keyword bids aggressively for position.<\/li>\n
  4. It alters each unique bid by the user’s location, time of day, and operating system.<\/li>\n
  5. Google recommends using the Target CPA versus Max. CPA setting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I really like the Conversion Optimizer and have found that it really does work to increase leads and decrease costs. You will need a minimum of 15 conversions in a 30 day period to enable settings.<\/p>\n

    The difference between Target CPA and Max. CPA are noted below.<\/p>\n

    Target CPA<\/strong> The average amount you want to pay for each conversion. I have personally found that this setting may not be best for every account.<\/p>\n

    Max. CPA<\/strong> The most you want to pay for a conversion. More of my client accounts use this setting. If Target CPA does not provide results I move clients to the Max. CPA at a higher or recommended setting. I have seen accounts drop in conversions when I move from Max. CPA to Target CPA.<\/p>\n
