Define Your Targets

Is $1 a click cheap or expensive?Is a CTR of 20% good or bad?
It all depends on the goals you are trying to achieve, because only after you have defined some goals will you be able to compare your
advertising campaigns.

display multipe ads equally. Your CTR will also be more meaningful.

Never start A New Campaign On Friday
Thoroughly review your campaigns 24 hours after you enabled them. You won’t
be able to do this if you started a new campaign on Friday.
7
Make Sure Everything Is Approved
Often you'll be able to find disapproved ads that you missed. As a result, the entire
ad group might be inactive.
8
Devices
Find out how different devices are performing individually. If you recognize
that tablets or phones are perfomring poorly, implement a negative bid
adjustment to turn them off.

Networks - Search Partners
Did you know that not all of your clicks come from Google's search
engine?
There are other search engines and other

there.

Search Lost IS (Budget)
A metric that you must pay attention to at the campaign level is the Search Lost IS (Impression Share) column. This metric will
show you the percentage of impressions that you lost due to a
budget shortfall.

Dimensions for Hour of Day
You can decrease bids within hours that spend a lot but aren't bringing
in good enough results. You can create a separate campaign for
hours that suffer from an insufficient budget.

If you don't have the option of increasing your budget, but you still want your ads shown
throughout the entire day, make sure you have selected "Standard" under "delivery Method" in
the campaign settings, and Google will attempt to spread your budget equally throughout the day.

due to low ad rank. This may not indicate something is wrong with
the campaign's settings, but what it will do is point out which
campaigns have a problem their keywords.

Optimize at the Ad Level
If you have 2 ads, one of which has 10 clicks and a 20% CTR while the other has 20 clicks with a 25% CTR, don't rush to conclusions. A good rule of thing is to wait until
you have 100 clicks and only make an assessment.
