Creating Compelling Ads & Landing Pages
Getting clicks on your paid listings can be a challenge. You need to compel the consumer to click through, yet your ad must also comply with editorial standards controlling what you can say and even the punctuation you can use. You also want the RIGHT type of click. Choose your words poorly, and the wrong audience will come, costing you money and offering no hope of conversion. Assuming you do get the right audience, the landing pages you display are an essential component to help you convert browsers into buyers. This session looks at ways to get the right clicks and convert them. NOTE: The session is designed for those who are already familiar with how paid placement works.

Balancing Organic & Paid Listings
If you get plenty of "free" listings, there's no need to go the paid route, right? Wrong -- what happens if a change in how search engines rank pages leaves you out of the top results? Well, if you buy your way in, there's no need to worry about the free results! Wrong again. Why not gain free traffic if you're relevant? This session explores issues like these and how to get the balance right between free and paid campaigns.

Paid Inclusion & Trusted Feeds
Why pay to be included in a search engine's listings without a guarantee of ranking well for particular terms? Done right, the more representation a site has in a search engine, the more likely it is to naturally rank well for a variety of targeted terms. That can mean highly-qualified traffic at a price less than obtained through paid placement programs. Come get an overview of paid inclusion, learn how trusted feeds allow you to send a data stream to search engines, hear advice from those who've used various programs offered and pose questions to paid inclusion providers during Q&A.;
