    Why not just run a test? Optimise your metatags and page copy and see what happens? Won't do any harm! Ask us if you need advice on what to change it to?

    Google Adwords Vouchers.

    You can't use vouchers for existing accounts, only those less than 14 days old sadly. Personally I think Google should give some out to existing clients too occasionally!

    Broad Match Modifier

    Um - some serious misconceptions here guys. Firstly - Broad match modifier will REDUCE impressions, as it prevents Google from showing your ad for totally irrelevant phrases. Secondly - 60% of searches performed at any point in time is unique to Google and it's never been seen before. If you...

    helping prevent adwords click fraud?

    There is a tool called Adwatcher that allows you to track click fraud, as you divert visitors through their site, so they check IPs for you. Having said that - I have seen Google charge just once for 10 clicks from the same person - so I have proof that Google does filter out fraudulent clicks.

    Stupid Adword question

    That tool isn't totally reliable to be honest, I would generally try a test price and then look at the Average Position column (Avg pos) to see where that bid places you on the page. You can then adjust the bid up or down depending on whether you want to be in the top 3 or lower down. It will...

    'Fixed price' Adwords campaign

    I'm not defending their sales people. It sounds like some of their processes need revising. These forums are only giving vent to the unhappy customers as is common on the Internet- I'm just pointing out there are happy customers out there, who aren't posting on here.

    Changing Sitemap page importance

    I'm interested in this topic too, anyone else have any advice regarding changing the priority? Should it really only be used for dynamic content as I have read a few times that all sites need one to be spidered correctly. Google reports errors if you leave all priorities set to 1.

    'Fixed price' Adwords campaign

    I trained 3 of Lavora's staff last October onsite in Altrincham to receive their Google Professional certification. When I was there the staff were all happy, motivated and dedicated to helping their clients, and they certainly have a customer care team to deal with any issues that arise. They...
