them

relevance to ad

Typical cost per click→ highly vary between keywords, has to do with amount of searches,
how specific or broad the search is, competition and potential revenue
Impact→
● CTR highest for non-branded keywords especially with high rank
● Conversion higher for branded searches, especially with low rank
● → people click on first link which might not be relevant for them, people clicking on
lower links might do this more consciously
● Because of the high cost per click for the top positions and the stable revenue per
position, it is better to place a lower bid and try to be in the mid- to lower range in
terms of ad position.
