Chapter 11. Paid Search Analysis and Optimization

This chapter is not about how to work with the Yahoo! Search Marketing or Google AdWords interface; instead, we'll focus on evaluating and optimizing your paid search initiatives. I'll start by discussing the basic objectives of running a paid search campaign and how you perform detailed reporting on it. Then we'll jump into optimization for both e-commerce and content sites, and explore the implications of organic search.
