For some time now I’ve been mulling over the idea of creating an info-graphic to illustrate some of the data we see daily. For example we know that 43% of advertisers who take an account review with us but don’t take our services for what ever reason will cease trading within a year. The flip side to this is that of the other 900 clients we’ve helped here only 2 ceased trading and we haven’t had anyone cease trading in over 17 months.
So what should I illustrate?
Maybe ‘how many advertisers are there on Google UK’ – my best estimate is 32,000.
Should I chart the top advertisers; EBay is the UK’s top advertiser serving 2.6 millions ads last month. Amazon for example serves 1.6 million ads and spends an estimated £70K per day.
I find this a little low as one of my mentors was headhunted by a large travel brand last year and I know he manages a daily spend of £64K per day. At the other end of the scale did you know that 80% of advertiser who try a Google Adwords vouchers fail and cease their advertising?
Or what about an info graphic on AdWords agencies – only 13% of advertisers we contact are happy with there experience of their AdWords agency which is a shockingly low figure but at least you know you’re not alone.
A good starting point I thought would be to review the existing AdWords Info graphics. A Saturday morning spent surfing the net turned up some truly amazing info graphics including one info graphic that Google banned.
It became clear that what I should do is compile a Top 5 AdWords info graphics list. I couldn’t resist the Facebook info graphic so I have included as a bonus.
Here’s my selection and the link to the info graphics is at bottom of this email
No 1 AdWords Info graphic – The War on Free Clicks.
