Google has given AdWords advertisers a attractive gift - new dynamic sitelinks, free of cost, for the top three ad positions. It means Google will automatically generate sitelinks for certain ads, and clicks on those dynamic sitelinks won’t charge you anything. In their statement this morning, Google said, "This is another example, like selling ratings, of AdWords tools adding worth to your ads while saving time and simplifying campaign board." As with Enhanced Campaigns, Google is basically catering to lesser businesses who don’t have the time or expertise to set this stuff up themselves.
When acceptance Is Low, Google Forces Adoption
The idea behind Enhanced Campaigns was to increase adoption of mobile promotion, since so many AdWords advertisers weren’t doing it individually. The shift to EC made all campaigns “mobile-friendly” by default. This is a related move – Google already updated the Ad Rank method, one of the major AdWords changes in the past decade, to include expected routine of ad extensions in addition to Quality Score and maxium bid. Apparently, that wasn’t enough to get advertisers using site extensions in each campaign. So Google is taking matters into its own hands and making certain your ads have sitelinks if they rank at the peak of the page. This ensures that they'll profit from the improved CTR of sitelinks, even if advertisers are too sluggish to implement sitelinks on their own.
The Loss Leader result: How Dynamic Sitelinks Improve CTR
Here is the interesting thing about how sitelinks work: People aren't clicking very often on the sitelinks themselves; the distinctive CTR on a sitelink is just 0.1per cent.
However, the boost in headline CTR for an ad with site links is approximately 10 per cent. For example, an ad in the peak spot with an expected CTR of 6% would see a boost to 6.6% CTR with site links enabled, easy because the ad takes up additional space and is more visible.
That’s why Google is proficient to offer you dynamic sitelinks at no cost per click: Google is not actually losing anything by offering these free, as barely anyone clicks on them. What they are doing is mounting the predictable CTR of the top 3 ads across the board, which means more income for Google (and fortunately, extra clicks for you as well). We know the use of ad extensions is vital for that very reason – the development in expected CTR. That’s why they are a now part of the AdRank procedure.
We're also finding that the higher CTR from using the sitelinks ad extension raises Quality Score by 10%, on average.
It's a elegant move on their part, to make this routine for all advertisers. We guess that only 30% of small business advertisers (company’s expenses less than $5,000/month on Ad Words) use site links. It takes extra work to set them up and a lot of advertisers still simply don't recognize how or why to do it. With dynamic site links, they don't need to realize it.
The fresh dynamic sitelinks rolled out worldwide today and are accessible to all advertisers. We think chasing low CTRs is ridiculous, though. If you're worried about getting additional unqualified clicks, change your messaging and targeting
