Google AdWords Advertisements

[»Xog]

I hate to be the guy to rain on parades, but don't forget that December holds Christmas break, and the associated population boost.

 

I think what you saw in the last final stretch was November 1 to december 1

 

Doesn't matter anyways, it was just a graph I thought I'd share because it was available. But now people are just trying to stab me with verbal knives. I hate being nice.

Gotta pause the campaign due to low funds.

 

Oh well, we have about a weeks worth of data using image advertisements anyway.

I just noticed something a little gruesome.

 

Analytics is still recording page visits etc. as expected.

 

But we're getting the same hit rate as if the advertisements were on.

 

Yesterday, we got 215 page views with the advertisements on. Today, it's only 4:05 and we've got almost 100 with them off. FML.

Just in case someone didn't catch me say previously -- but my analysis about how the advertisements do not work is invalid. I had initially stated that only like 18 to 24 download clicks are from the advertising campaign, but this is incorrect because we were receiving several hundreds of clicks from the advertising every day. So the statistic page that showed only "18-24 unique visitors" from the campaign is incorrect that it is not tracking accurately -- or so we shall see in the coming week with the advertisements off. ;o

6-day Comparison

Before = 1/26 - 1/31

After = 2/2 - 2/7

 

Before is when we had the image advertisements running.

After is when we the entire campaign is paused and not running.

his email is a used one for his site hosting services.

i've seen it before...

 

 

also: isnt it strange that average time on site increased when the ad campaign was turned off?

the reason for this is because the average is determined by connection. spiders/crawlers can click on ads that take them to the website and then they leave within 1-10 seconds. Where as, we had real visitors this time, and less spiders.
