Pay attention to how your tracking is set-up and attributed. And use utm tags

@romonaromonda do you have any suggestions how to learn to set up tracking
by (270 points)
@cuprum good question. Not specifically. It is very individual to what you're tracking and how you implement it would depend on the website and your advertising sequences. Google analytics by default is handy, but no where near perfect. For instance, it doesn't attribute clicks and sales to social media accurately. Often GA will attribute that under direct channel. Start by researching how to use utm tags. This will put your work process into a good habit. Research and implement events and goals on your website. Link your analytics, ad words and search console accounts together (a lot of people forget this, or only link part of it, eg link gsc to adwords). By the time you do all that you'll have a good idea how it works.

@romonaromonda I have one question. If you change google analytics (because someone else own that , and someone else own Google AdWords ) would that effect google AdWords or anything else . Thank you

@cuprum what do you mean by change? You mean, set up a new account?  
by (300 points)
@romonaromonda yes set new account. Sorry for confusion. Because at the actual account I can’t create remarketing
by (270 points)
@cuprum doing so just means you're starting from zero, so you will need to run some initial campaigns and wait for enough traffic to flow through the website before you can do remarketing and learn user behaviours etc. If you're setting things up new, look at Google tag manage. Add tag manager to the website, then add your other tracking account tags to the gtm account

Shopping beats everything! Dont bit much, only the sweetpoint and use only a handfull of keywords
by (120 points)
@oocyte still somewhat of a noob myself. why not use as many keywords as possible. granted they are good/decent keywords?  
by (560 points)
If you want to buy something you will looking for "minecraft pc" and not "minecraft cheap pc version blue ". In my opinion 99% use the same keyword in order to buy something.

Tip #1: If a google rep contacts you, never answer them. Tip #2: If you do talk to a google rep, don't listen to anything they say. The rest should be a piece of cake

Tip #3: reread Tip #1 and follow!

Focus. Focus on a niche you understand. Focus on performing for each client like they are your only client. Focus on real metrics for the client, not fluff metrics to justify your fee. Don't lose focus on the bigger picture.

Learn about costs and how to setup cpc etc. I have heard about too many cases where people thought the cpc was how much the daily costs where and spend their entire budget on a few clicks.
