While the new Wallet instant buy API (once they eventually make it available) sounds like it could be great for increasing conversions from people with Android phones if nothing else…

(I’m just wondering when they will announce they are retiring Google AdWords and recommend people move to Bing Ads instead)…

What difference will this make? Not a lot. The main thing is that you will no longer have to assign a product extension to a non Product Listing Ads campaign in the ‘Ad Extensions’ tab in AdWords.

Update – here is official confirmation from an AdWords campaign view on 16th May 2013 :-

Most of the questions were very similar to the last time I sat it.

I didn’t do any revision, and completed the 100 questions in 35 minutes and got 94% (I could have done a bit better if I had spent another half an hour trying to work out the best answer to some really badly worded questions, but life is too short!)

PS – if you have a contact at Google, be sure to ask them for a Google Test Centre voucher, and save yourself $50…

You have to laugh at how Google treat their customers sometimes. :-

Of course they did this about 5 hours after I wrote in the PPCNI Top AdWords Tips about how it was worth signing up for!

So, if you are a merchant in the UK and want to work with the really big cash back sites (Quidco and Top Cash Back), and Google is no longer an option, which are the best affiliate networks to sign up with?

I got an email from the nice people at Quidco recently saying :-

Someone from our Client Services Team in London are currently looking to migrate all retailers on the GAN network to another network at the moment.

However, if you want to have a browse at the other networks we work with then here is the list:

Affilinet, Affiliate Future, Affiliate Window, Commission Junction, Impact Radius, Linkshare, Online Media Group, Paid on Results, The Affiliate Gateway, TradeTracker, Webgains.

And here is an email from TopCashBack :-

(These have actually have been for around 20 days now… Sorry for being so slow to point this out.).

At any rate, it looks like the majority of advertisers are not taking advantage of this yet, so make sure you get sitelinks added to all your Bing Ads campaigns to make them stand out from the competition before everyone starts doing it!

For anyone who wonders what I am talking about, here is an example of what sitelinks look like on Bing UK (The links for ‘Astro Trainers’, ‘Football Boots’, ‘Running Shoes’, ‘Infant Trainers’) :-

There is little doubt that this will play an important part in ranking items in Google Shopping in the future.

So if you have an e-commerce site in the UK you cannot afford to ignore it.

I’m not sure why it is called ‘Trusted Shops’ in Google Merchant Center and ‘Trusted Stores’ everywhere else online, but if you are wondering if/when this will be available in the UK, it seems likely that it will be in the second half of 2013. So now you know.

Though it looks like you are out of luck if you ship less than 500 orders a month…

Google Shopping’s Google Trusted Stores program is a clear indicator of a quality merchant under Google’s ranking algorithm. Eligibility requirements include 500 orders shipped per month, more than 90 percent shipped on time, and excellent customer service (likely equivalent to 95 percent or higher seller feedback on Amazon.)
