Hey,
Due to the positive responses for the first case study. I had decided to run the case study again, under the same terms, but, under a different niche.
Terms:
• I advertised the same landing page on all 3 advertising platforms; Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN Adcenter
• I bid on the same keywords on all 3 advertising platforms. I also bid high enough to attain the 1st position on every platform.
• There was a total budget of $1,000 in clicks for every platform. So in total, $3,000 was used in this case study. Once the budget was reached in that campaign, the campaign was paused until all other platforms reached their budget.
Results:
# Days took to reach $1,000 in Clicks
• Google Adwords : 3.5 Days
• Yahoo Search Marketing : 5 Days
• MSN Adcenter : 9 Days
Average CPC paid for 1st Position
• Google Adwords : $0.70
• Yahoo Search Marketing : $0.40
• MSN Adcenter : $0.30
Amount Of Clicks Received
• Google Adwords : 1430
• Yahoo Search Marketing : 2500
• MSN Adcenter : 3330
CTR % on the Landing Page
• Google Adwords : 46%
• Yahoo Search Marketing : 32%
• MSN Adcenter : 54%
Conversation Rate
• Google Adwords : 20%
• Yahoo Search Marketing : 11%
• MSN Adcenter : 26%
Amount Of Leads
• Google Adwords : 132
• Yahoo Search Marketing : 88
• MSN Adcenter : 468
Gross Profit ($18 Payout)
• Google Adwords : $2,380
• Yahoo Search Marketing : $1,580
• MSN Adcenter : $8420
Net Profit
• Google Adwords : $1,380
• Yahoo Search Marketing : $580
• MSN Adcenter : $7,420
Again, Adcenter seemed to have done the best in this case study again. This time I received a positive ROI from all three platforms, and making a bit more then the first study.
Thanks.
P.S. I did round digits to the nearest whole number and tens for $ values.
