Top-Performing Keywords

With new conversion information on hand, you may wish to rethink your definition of

keyword “performance.” Last month, the keywords with the highest click-through rate

may have been the ones you considered top of the heap. You may now want to look at

conversion rates instead. Based on your new performance criteria, pull out the top-10

or so performing keywords from your PPC service’s report and list them here.

Use this portion of the report to record any changes that took place in your PPC cam-

paigns this month: new keywords, deleted ads, regrouped categories, and so on. Are
