Search Engine Marketing: SEM - Are You Winning?
It's common for smaller advertisers to turn a blind eye to their profitability and just spend the budgeted amount each month on SEM. If competitors are doing it, it must be beneficial … or so they reason. Money goes out the door each month, traffic accumulates, some sales are made.
It's not enough.
Are you reviewing the profitability of every traffic source? At a bare minimum, you need to have tracking in place to reveal the causal source of every goal or conversion on your website. This will enable you to make a solid connection between traffic from paid channels and conversions.
