How fast are you?

Monday, 17 March 2008

Load time to be incorporated in Quality Score: - Google are adding another element to adwords Quality Score: landing page load time. They state that waiting a while for a page to load is not a positive experience and can hurt conversion rates. Apparently in a few weeks we will be able to see load time 'evaluations' in the keyword analysis page, you will then have one month to review and make site adjustments as after this period keyword quality scores will change and you may have higher/lower minimum bids dependant on your speed.

I have shifted away from ppc using Google as it provides me no long term residual value. I was actually just reading an article in fortune about how ppc revenue has slowly dropped. I guess for now i am sticking to tricks like Nemeas that gives me a 15% seo boost just by picking the right domain name. I hope that Google continues to innovate and offer some new alternatives to ppc. Thanks for your speedy article ;-)
